Splits carries with Gordon Wright carried the ball three times for 16 yards during Sunday's 21-17 win over the Saints.

Impact Wright logged the same amount of carries as No. 2 running back Ollie Gordon, who garnered 10 rushing yards. Meanwhile, De'Von Achane racked up 134 rushing yards and one touchdown across his 22 carries. Wright will continue competing with Gordon for reserve opportunities as the Dolphins head into a Week 14 divisional matchup against the Jets.

Logs one carry in OT win Wright rushed once for four yards during Miami's 16-13 overtime win over the Commanders in Madrid on Sunday.

Impact Wright worked behind standout De'Vone Achane (172 yards from scrimmage) as well as Ollie Gordon (nine carries for 45 yards and one score) again Sunday. He had worked as the No. 2 back behind Achane in Week 10, but that opportunity came due to Gordon managing an ankle injury, which he's now fully recovered from. The Dolphins will go on bye Week 12, so Wright's next chance to handle reserve duties will come Sunday, Nov. 30 versus the Saints in Week 13.

Works as No. 2 back in upset win Wright carried the ball five times for 17 yards during Miami's 30-13 win over the Bills on Sunday.

Impact Wright operated as the No. 2 option behind De'Von Achane in Week 10 as Ollie Gordon, who entered the contest questionable due to an ankle issue, rushed just once for minus-three yards. If Gordon is full healthy to face the Commanders overseas in Madrid in Week 11, he figures to reclaim the top backup role behind Achane, but it was nonetheless encouraging to see Wright active for the third time in the last four weeks, after he had been a healthy scratch to begin the season. Of course, Achane -- who racked up 225 yards from scrimmage and two scores on 27 touches -- remains the sole dominant fantasy contributor in the Dolphins' backfield.

Suiting up for Week 10 Wright is active for Sunday's game against the Bills, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Wright has been a healthy scratch for most of the season, but he'll suit up Sunday -- marking his third time being active for the campaign. The move likely comes as insurance for Ollie Gordon, who is active Sunday but has been limited in practice throughout the week by an ankle injury. Wright isn't likely to see much opportunity so long as both De'Von Achane and Gordon remain healthy.

Inactive Thursday Wright is inactive for Thursday night's game against the Ravens.

Gets involved in win over Falcons Wright carried the ball nine times for 28 yards during Miami's 34-10 win over Atlanta. He also secured his only target for a gain of zero yards.

Impact Wright got an opportunity to help close out the Dolphins' upset Week 8 win once the game was well out of hand, but he remained convincingly behind both De'Von Achane and Ollie Gordon. The second-year pro will work to continue demonstrating some amount of consistency in the No. 3 role as Miami prepares for a matchup against Baltimore at home on Thursday Night Football in Week 9.

Uninvolved in Week 7 loss Wright did not log a carry or target during Miami's 31-6 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

Impact Wright was active versus Cleveland after having been a healthy scratch the prior two games, but he played just nine offensive snaps and was statistically invisible while Ollie Gordon (five carries for 22 yards) operated as the No. 2 back behind starter De'Von Achane (13 carries for 82 yards). Next on deck for the Dolphins is a Week 8 road matchup against the Falcons, wherein Wright will work to compete for more opportunities alongside Gordon.

Available for Week 7 Wright is active for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Impact Wright has been a healthy scratch for the Dolphins' last two games but will be available for Sunday's road game, per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald. Wright and Ollie Gordon will serve as Miami's depth options out of the backfield behind De'Von Achane.

Inactive Sunday Wright (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Impact The running back is a healthy scratch for the second straight game as De'Von Achane and Ollie Gordon continue to lead Miami's backfield. Wright has yet to carry the ball in 2025.

OCTOBER 5 • PALMBEACHPOST.COM

Inactive versus Carolina Wright is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Impact With Wright the odd man out, De'Von Achane and Ollie Gordon will handle Miami's backfield duties Sunday. Wright is thus off the fantasy radar until he reclaims a spot in the team's RB rotation behind Achane.

OCTOBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

No snaps in MNF win Wright did not play any snaps during Monday's 27-21 win over the Jets.

Impact Wright hasn't logged a single snap on offense or special teams in the two regular-season games he's been active for since returning from his knee injury, leaving backup duties to Ollie Gordon behind starter De'Von Achane. The second-year pro will work to get more involved as the No. 3 back in Week 5 versus the Panthers on Sunday, Oct. 5, but at this stage it's difficult to envision a path for Wright to attain notable fantasy value in Miami's backfield.

SEPTEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

No snaps in Thursday night loss Wright did not play any snaps during Thursday's 31-212 loss to the Bills.

Impact Wright was cleared to make his regular-season debut Thursday, but he did not handle any snaps on either offense or special teams while De'Von Achane and Ollie Gordon led Miami's backfield. He'll work to get more involved and challenge Gordon for No. 2 opportunities versus the Jets in Week 4 on Monday, Sept. 29.

Cleared to suit up Thursday Wright (knee) does not carry an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Bills, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Wright will make his regular-season debut versus Buffalo on Thursday, joining Ollie Gordon as a depth backfield option behind starter De'Von Achane. Through two weeks this season Achane has maintained a dominant workload out of the backfield, though his production has mostly come through the air with Miami's defense having surrendered early leads and limited the team's ability to lean on the run. If the Dolphins face a similar game script versus the Bills consistent rushing opportunities will again be hard to come by, potentially leaving few reserve carries available to Wright and Gordon.

Logs limited practice Tuesday Wright (knee) was a limited participant at practice Tuesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Wright continued to operate in a limited fashion at Tuesday's first official practice of the week. Head coach Mike McDaniel stated Tuesday that the running back was "real close" last week, and that he's optimistic about Wright's chances for Week 3, according to Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network. Additionally, McDaniel said that the team will "see how the rest of the week goes," and that the running back is "putting his best foot forward." Wright's status on Wednesday's injury report of the week will provide more clarity regarding his status for Thursday Night Football in Buffalo.

Estimated as limited Monday Wright (knee) was listed as limited on Monday's practice estimate, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Wright has missed the Dolphins' first two games, but after logging limited practices this past Thursday and Friday, and maintaining that level on Monday's estimate, the running back appears to be inching closer toward a return to action. Whether he makes his season debut Thursday against the Bills, or in Week 4 against the Jets, Wright is destined for a complementary role behind lead back De'Von Achane.

Not playing Sunday Wright (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Impact Wright will miss his second straight game to begin the season, but he appears to have made some tangible progress in his recovery from the minor right knee procedure he required in late August. After practicing in a limited fashion Thursday and Friday, Wright was able to take a doubtful designation into the weekend prior to being included on the Dolphins' Week 2 inactive list. The Dolphins will face a quick turnaround in Week 3 with a Thursday matchup in Buffalo, but the second-year running back could have a chance at making his 2025 debut in that contest if he's able to increase his practice activity within the next few days.

Dolphins get bittersweet Jaylen Wright injury update for Week 2 The Miami Dolphins need to get their ground game going in Week 2, but they will likely have to do so without Jaylen Wright.

SEPTEMBER 13 • PHINPHANATIC.COM

Listed as doubtful for Week 2 Wright (knee) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Impact The Dolphins stopped short of ruling Wright out after he managed to practice on a limited basis Thursday and Friday, but it would be surprising to see him suit up Sunday. Ollie Gordon will likely work as De'Von Achane's primary backup for one more week, but Wright's return to practice bodes well for the 2024 fourth-round pick's chances of returning to action Thursday against the Bills in Week 3.

SEPTEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Trending toward another absence Wright (knee) isn't likely to play Sunday against the Patriots, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Impact Wright returned to a limited practice Thursday, but coach Mike McDaniel indicated Friday that the running back isn't likely to suit up this weekend. That said, McDaniel didn't completely rule out that possibility, so added clarity on Wright's Week 2 status will have to wait until Friday's final injury report. If he remains out versus New England, Ollie Gordon will continue to back up De'Von Achane, with Jeff Wilson and JaMycal Hasty candidates to be elevated from Miami's practice squad.

SEPTEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Officially limited Thursday Wright (knee) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Impact Wright is practicing for the first time since he underwent a minor right knee procedure Aug. 28, so to see him handling even limited reps is encouraging. The second-year pro said Thursday that he's unsure when he'll be cleared for regular-season action, per David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, but that "I'm doing my part to get right, and I'll be back." If he's cleared to play Sunday versus the Patriots, Wright will get a chance to compete with Ollie Gordon for depth touches behind De'Von Achane.
