Miami Dolphins wide receiver Caleb Douglas is not ready to practice due to an ankle injury, according to coach Jeff Hafley.
Douglas has already missed two games with the injury. Fellow rookie Chris Bell and young veteran Malik Washington would be in line for more targets if Douglas is not able to play on Sunday, Oct. 11, against the Cincinnati Bengals.... Douglas is also averaging 16. 1 yards per reception. When he is on the field with Bell, who averages 18. 4 yards per reception, it really gives Malik Willis the opportunity to drive the ball down the field.
Jeff Hafley on Monday: "I thought he made better decisions than he did and that's a step forward for him. I thought the ball came out a lot on time. Yes. I thought the ball came out quicker. Yes, we took some shots down the field we'll continue to work through and I told the team we'll keep taking them and we'll start hitting those. I thought overall he got better at his decision-making process and I think that will continue to improve." ... Host agrees especially with the timing of the routes and the drop getting married to breaks and trusting guys and ripping it. ... Still not good enough to win games with what you have at your disposal — still too much on the roller coaster. Best per-snap efficiency score he's had this season (plus-three across 72 snaps) but also more negatively graded plays as an individual than any other player.
