WR Chris Olave did not practice for the second straight day with an ankle injury, leaving his status in doubt for Sunday.

The Saints receiving group is looking very rough heading into Week 15. If Olave ends up missing, it will be difficult to start many names outside of Alvin Kamara.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Dolphins are set to waive Lynn Bowden off their roster on Tuesday.

The team was trying to trade Bowden, who is a former third-round pick of the Raiders. Many will remember Bowden as a target monster during the final weeks of 2020 at both running back and wide receiver before he missed all of 2021.

Dolphins wide receiver Lynn Bowden Jr. limped off the field with a hamstring injury during a joint practice with the Falcons last week and he won’t be back on the field for Miami at all this year.

The Dolphins put Bowden on injured reserve Tuesday as they cut their roster down to 80 players. Bowden will not be eligible to return this season unless the Dolphins release him and he signs with another team.

Bowden was a Raiders third-round pick in 2020 and he was traded to the Dolphins before the start of the season. He had 28 catches for 211 yards and nine carries for 32 yards in 10 games as a rookie. He was part of a crowded and talented WR group in Miami.

According to a source close to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, Dolphins WR Lynn Bowden Jr. has a strained hamstring after an MRI showed no structural damage. Bowden Jr. has no timetable for a return.

The second-year player is buried on the Dolphins receiver depth chart but was dynamic enough as a running back to be switched to wideout. If anything this hurts his chances of establishing himself as a depth option/kick and punt returner. Bowden Jr.'s value is tied to injuries which is an issue for the collected group of players.

Dolphins coach Brian Flores said on Tuesday that veteran wide receiver Allen Hurns will eventually be placed on injured reserve after a Monday report that he will likely miss three months with wrist surgery. This comes as Miami has had Will Fuller out since the first practice of training camp, been without DeVante Parker for more practices than he’s participated in, had Albert Wilson miss the past week-plus and Preston Williams on the physically-unable-to-perform list since the start of camp.

“We’ll see about [Wednesday]. They’re day to day. They’re all working to get back,” Flores said. “Those become pretty competitive practices, very competitive practices. With guys who have been out, you kind of want to ease them back, so if they are back, I wouldn’t expect too much out of them. But getting closer, I would say.”

The story went on to say Parker, Fuller, Wilson and Williams continued to sit out Tuesday, which was a lighter walkthrough session before the Dolphins welcome the Atlanta Falcons for joint practices on Wednesday and Thursday. With the slew of top wideouts missing, the Dolphins started Waddle with Hollins in Week 1 of the preseason. Bowden ended up leading wide receivers later in the game with four receptions for 47 yards.

Dolphins WR and returner Jakeem Grant suffered a high-ankle sprain in the team’s dramatic win over the Raiders, source said.

Grant won't play in Week 17 and could also be a candidate for IR, according to Rapoport. The Dolphins continue to be banged up at the WR position so heading into Week 17 it leaves Bowden, Ford and Hollins as a possible top-three if DeVante Parker remains out.

The Dolphins saw Lynn Bowden as a wide receiver after getting traded from the Raiders, and he’s been getting integrated into that position since Miami acquired him on Sept. 5. Bowden’s now received significant playing time in the last two games, notably making seven receptions for 82 yards in Miami’s Week 14 loss to Kansas City.

Parker is dealing with a hamstring injury and with Preston Williams on IR, Bowden could find himself getting a lot more action if Parker can't go in Week 15. As the story said, Bowden led the way in receiving but is likely still considered a running back in your league.

Dolphins WR DeVante Parker suffered a slight hamstring strain in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, source said.

Pelissero said his status is to be determined for this week against the Patriots. Pelissero added it's worth noting Parker hasn’t missed a game this season, but this is potentially coming during fantasy playoffs. Preston Williams is on IR so the Dolphins are looking at being pretty shorthanded at the position. Hollins led all Miami WRs with a 5-66-0 line, but it was RB Bowden who had a 7-82-0 receiving line. Grant was also involved (3-32-0), but is dealing with a hamstring injury too. Callaway could end up being more involved in Week 15.
