""I definitely see that it's a process that has been a lot longer than I would have liked, people with the team would've liked," Waller said Thursday after practice. "You've got to deal with the reality of situations like this rather than what I wish I could have been. I'm grateful to still have the opportunity to play a football game on Monday. I'm really looking forward to it.""
""It's probably more situational," McDaniel said Tuesday, "but I wouldn't go to all these lengths, have all this buildup and then throw him out there for 60 or something (snaps). I kind of have an idea roughly what it is, but we'll see if that idea plays through the practice week.""
Darren Waller came out of retirement to join the Miami Dolphins but began camp on the physically-unable-to-perform list to regain football shape. After activation off PUP late in preseason he suffered a hip strain that kept him out of the first three regular-season games. Waller returned to practice with a strong Tuesday session, a lighter Thursday, and completed work Friday, with one more practice before Monday's game. Head coach Mike McDaniel expects Waller to be used situationally rather than play every snap. Waller expressed gratitude for the opportunity and trust in the coaches' recovery plan.
