From the article

Based on the mechanism of injury and Waddle grabbing at his shoulder afterward, I'm concerned about a rib injury or an AC joint sprain. If it's a rib injury, Waddle could miss anywhere from 0 to 1 game. An AC joint sprain, however, could result in a longer absence, potentially keeping him sidelined until after the team's Week 10 bye.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

Waddle's chest injury severity unclear; rib or AC joint sprain possible.

Waddle suffered an injury late in Week 7 on a reverse play when he dove to recover a fumble and landed directly on the football. The exact nature remains unclear, but based on the mechanism of injury and Waddle grabbing at his shoulder afterward, the source is concerned about a rib injury or an AC joint sprain. A rib injury could result in 0-1 game missed, but an AC joint sprain could keep him sidelined until after the team's Week 10 bye. Waddle was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday with a chest injury before practicing fully Friday.
