MIAMI GARDENS — It’s been a long training camp and first three weeks of the regular season for new Miami Dolphins tight end Darren Waller.

After coming out of retirement to join the Dolphins ahead of camp, he started on the physically-unable-to-perform list, supposedly because he had to get into football shape.

Before the start of the regular season and after he had been activated off PUP in the final week of the preseason, he suffered a setback to a hip strain .

It wasn’t enough to land him on injured reserve , though, as he went week-to-week missing Miami’s first three games.

After the long layover between the Dolphins’ Sept. 18 loss to the Buffalo Bills and Monday night’s Week 4 game against the New York Jets , it’s finally time for Waller to debut in a Dolphins uniform.
