Miami Dolphins' RB Raheem Mostert and WR Jaylen Waddle are not expected to play in Week 18's game against the Buffalo Bills. Both players were listed as questionable but have been ruled out due to knee/ankle and ankle injuries, respectively. The team's head coach, Mike McDaniel, stated that both players wanted to play but the medical staff deemed it too risky. This absence poses a challenge for the Dolphins as they aim to win the AFC East. Both players are expected to be ready for the playoffs. The Dolphins' injury situation is further compounded by the absence of other key players, including Jevon Holland and Xavien Howard.
