News: 14 hours agoDolphins head coach Jeff Hafley said that Douglas (ankle) won't practice Wednesday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Spin: Hafley said the rookie wideout is improving after missing Miami's last two games, but Douglas' status for Week 5 against the Bengals remains in question. Douglas will likely need to return to practice as a full participant by Friday in order to have a realistic chance at suiting up Sunday. If Douglas winds up being sidelined again, the Dolphins would likely lean on Malik Washington, Chris Bell (knee) and Kevin Coleman to take on most of the snaps at receiver.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Douglas was selected by the Dolphins in the third round of April's draft. Douglas is a tall, perimeter receiver with big hands and long arms who, after not seeing much work during two seasons at Florida, exploded for 60-877-6 and 54-846-7 receiving lines at Texas Tech over the last two seasons. His overall efficiency was underwhelming, including six drops and a shaky 1.81 YPRR in 2025. He impressed with a 4.39 40-yard dash at 206 pounds (111 speed score) at the combine. Douglas has a path to a large offensive role as a rookie (Malik Washington, Jalen Tolbert and fellow rookie Chris Bell are his primary competition), but life may be tough in a rebuilding Miami offense led by unproven Malik Willis. He's only worth a late flier.
