Jaylen Wright - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Over quad injury Wright (quadriceps) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact After missing last Sunday's loss to the Lions, Wright figures to be back in as the lightly-used RB2 behind Ollie Gordon, though Wright has not produced when on the field this season. He's averaged 1,9 yards per carry on 22 attempts and is virtually a zero in the passing game.

Dolphins are tired of using youth as an excuse after falling short in another close game

Inactive in Week 9 Wright (quadriceps) is listed as inactive Sunday against the Lions.

Impact After sitting out Wednesday's practice due to a quadriceps injury, Wright was able to get back to limited Thursday and maintain that activity level Friday, at which point he was tagged as questionable in advance of the weekend. On Sunday morning, however, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that Wright isn't expected to suit up, and that's now locked in. With Wright out of the lineup, Kaytron Allen (quad) and Carlos Washington will serve as the reserve RB options behind Ollie Gordon.

Not slated to play Sunday Wright (quadriceps) isn't in line to play in Sunday's game against the Lions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Wright was held out of drills Wednesday due to a quad injury before capping Week 9 prep with back-to-back limited practices. That left him questionable to suit up Sunday, but assuming he's listed among the Dolphins' inactives about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, he'll be in street clothes this weekend. Kaytron Allen (quadriceps, questionable) and Carlos Washington are the other options to handle complementary reps behind No. 1 RB Ollie Gordon.

Deemed questionable Wright (quad) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Averaging just 1.9 yards per carry, Wright is unlikely to get more than a handful of touches off the bench if he's active this Sunday. Ollie Gordon has been dominating Miami's backfield work.

Will practice Friday Wright (quadriceps) will practice Friday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Averaging a miserable 1.9 yards per carry this season, Wright has no fantasy appeal other than being Ollie Gordon's ineffective backup.

Limited Thursday Wright (quadriceps) was limited in Thursday's practice, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Wright has been battling various issues all season and hasn't been effective when on the field, yet he's still operating as the Dolphins' lightly-used RB2 behind Ollie Gordon. Wright is averaging a microscopic 1.9 yards per carry this season.

Returns to practice Thursday Wright (quadriceps) is taking part in practice Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Wright didn't practice Wednesday, so Thursday's practice appearance is a step in the right direction, but the extent of his participation remains to be seen. Ollie Gordon has cemented himself as the lead back for the Dolphins, while Wright hasn't exceeded six touches in a game this season.

Sits out first Week 9 practice Wright (quadriceps) was a non-participant in Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact In addition to a foot injury, Wright was listed with the same quad issue on the Dolphins' Week 8 injury report but proceeded to log three full practices before playing in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Patriots. Though he played just 13 total snaps before offense and special teams in Week 8, Wright apparently emerged from the contest with his quad injury still bothering him. He'll have two more chances to get back to full practice participation prior to this Sunday's game against the Lions.

NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Remains non-factor in Week 8 Wright rushed two times for five yards in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Patriots.

Impact Wright failed to catch his lone target in the passing game and remains firmly planted behind Ollie Gordon on the depth chart. While Gordon has been one of the most productive running backs on a per-carry basis this season, Wright has seemingly been stuck in the mud as a runner, averaging a pitiful 1.9 yards per carry on 22 attempts.

NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Opens week with full practice Wright (quadriceps/foot) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Wright exited Sunday's 28-25 win over the Jets late in the fourth quarter on account of the quad issue, but his availability for this weekend's game against the Patriots doesn't look to be in any peril. Since returning to action Week 4 against the Vikings following a one-game absence, Wright has been a clear second fiddle to Ollie Gordon out of the Miami backfield. In his last three appearances, Wright hasn't recorded any receptions and has logged no more than six carries in any contest.

Exits Sunday's game early Wright (quadriceps) left Sunday's game against the Jets early and did not return.

Impact Wright exited the contest in the late fourth quarter with a quad injury. The reserve running back was assisting the Dolphins in running out the clock when he sustained the injury. Wright had six carries for eight yards in the 28-25 win over the Jets.

OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Wright (foot) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at the Jets, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact An upgrade to full participation Friday suggests Wright should be ready for his backup role behind Ollie Gordon, who has three of Miami's five TDs over the past three games.

OCTOBER 23 • Associated Press

Will play Sunday Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley said Friday that Wright (foot) will play in Sunday's game against the Jets, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact It remains to be seen if Wright will have a designation on the final injury report, but either way, it sounds like he's ready to play. He'll likely be the team's No. 2 RB behind Ollie Gordon, who has dominated backfield work since De'Von Achane suffered an ACL tear.

OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

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.

OCTOBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

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.

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.
