INJURIES
Limited again Thursday Wright (foot) remained limited at Thursday's practice, Marce Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Wright played through this foot injury in each of Miami's last two games prior to a Week 5 bye. He'll likely suit up Sunday against the Jets but cede most of the carries to Ollie Gordon as the Dolphins continue to search for their first win of the season.

Practicing Wednesday Wright (foot) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact According to Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post, Wright looked good in practice despite getting the limited tag. Wright has been battling a nagging foot issue for a chunk of the season but has been able to play in each of the last two games. Miami is off a bye, so Wright has a chance to be closer to 100 percent than he has been since the injury, when the Dolphins take on the Jets.

Ready to play Sunday Wright (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Impact After entering the weekend with a questionable tag, Wright will be available for Miami's backfield Sunday. His active status restores depth at running back, though his role still comes after recent competition for snaps with Ollie Gordon.

Questionable for Sunday Wright (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Wright missed Week 3 with a foot injury and stinger, before returning for Week 4 and splitting backfield work with Ollie Gordon early on. Gordon dominated snaps after breaking off a long run in the third quarter of the loss to Minnesota, and he was the favorite to take most of the carries this week even before Wright became a mid-week addition to the injury report. He's listed with a foot issue again, getting a questionable designation after limited practices Thursday and Friday. Meanwhile, the Dolphins claimed RB Kaytron Allen off waivers Friday, giving them another option in the backfield.

Limited Thursday due to foot Wright (foot) showed up as a limited participant at Thursday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Wright practiced without limitations Wednesday but took a step back Thursday. He missed Miami's Week 3 loss to the Chiefs due to a foot injury but returned in Week 4 against the Vikings. Wright was outplayed by Ollie Gordon against Minnesota, and Gordon is likely in line to get the majority of rushing opportunities Sunday against the Bengals, regardless of Wright's status.

Stuck in mud against Minnesota Wright rushed five times for seven yards in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Vikings.
Impact Wright actually started ahead of Ollie Gordon, but Gordon ended up out-snapping Wright 22 to 12 and turned his nine carries into 100 yards and a touchdown. Gordon also saw two targets to Wright's zero. Wright figures to see a handful of carries each week alongside Gordon, but the latter is the preferred back for fantasy.

Turns in full practice Thursday Wright (foot/stinger) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Emily Leiker of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Impact Wright wasn't available for the Dolphins' Week 3 loss to the Chiefs while he tended to a pair of injuries, but after turning in a limited practice Wednesday and then upgrading to full activity Thursday, he looks like he'll be good to go for Sunday's game against the Vikings. With De'Von Achane (knee) out for the season, Wright and Ollie Gordon should both be in store for expanded opportunities out of the backfield, but it's not immediately clear which of the two will rank as the Dolphins' preferred option. Miami also plans to elevate one of Jarquez Hunter or Carlos Washington from the practice squad to give the team a third running back in Sunday's contest.

Officially limited Wednesday Wright (foot) officially was limited at Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Wright didn't play in Week 3 against the Chiefs due to a stinger and foot injury, but stinger has been axed from the practice report to begin Week 4 prep, meaning only the foot issue is bothering him at the moment. If he's able to put all health concerns behind him and return to action Sunday at Minnesota, he'll be in line for a significant bump in playing time in the aftermath of De'Von Achane's torn ACL. Moving forward, Wright and Ollie Gordon are expected to pace the Dolphins backfield.

Taking part in practice Wednesday Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley said that Wright (foot/stinger) will practice Wednesday, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact With Wright having been called day-to-day earlier in the week, his return to practice is a positive step for the Dolphins' backfield. His participation is especially notable after Miami lost De'Von Achane to a torn ACL, as Wright could factor into the running back rotation if he's able to progress without setbacks.
