Injury Report: Dolphins Rule Out Waller while Battered Bills Defense Faces Critical Test on TNF

The Buffalo Bills are heading into a Thursday Night Football matchup against the Miami Dolphins with a defense that is significantly battered. After a dominant road performance against the New York Jets in Week 2, the first-place Bills (2-0) are returning home to face a struggling, last-place Dolphins (0-2) team, but they will be doing so without some of their key defensive players.

The Dolphins, meanwhile, recently ruled out tight end Darren Waller. That puts five in “out” status for the Thursday Night showdown.
