The Miami Dolphins are going to be cautious going forward with wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, who's dealt with injuries this season and who hurt his knee in Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

McDaniel: Waddle "definitely was sore" and team will take "measured approach" with him. (Knee injury in first quarter.) "He's in a good spot, however we're going to make sure we don't do any harm to him moving forward. He's had to battle injuries, unfortunately, this season."

On This Day in Crimson Tide History:

November 8, 2008: Nick Saban returned to an emotionally-charged Tiger Stadium for the first time since leaving LSU and led Alabama to a 27-21 victory in overtime. Safety Rashad Johnson tied a school record with three interceptions, and Julio Jones set up the winning score by John Parker Wilson by dragging his defender to the 1-yard line. In 2014, Alabama broke LSU’s hearts again on this date with a 20-13 OT victory. After an announcement was made asking fans to please not rush the field the defense made a stand at the goal-line, Blake Sims drove Alabama 55 yards in the final 50 seconds of regulation for a tying field goal, and threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to DeAndrew White in overtime.

November 8, 1981: Alonzo Ephraim was born in Birmingham, Ala.

November 8, 1995: Rashaan Evans was both in Auburn, Ala.

Crimson Tide Quote of the Day:

"It's really not sweeter clinching the [SEC] West in Tiger Stadium. It really isn't. My emotions for this place are positive, not negative. I didn't leave LSU to go to Alabama. I left LSU to go to Miami. Myself and my family learned that we didn't like professional football as much as we liked college. So we had the best opportunity to return to college football at the University of Alabama. There is nothing personal in that for me." — Nick Saban after Alabama defeated LSU in 2008
