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.

OCTOBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Dolphins draft pick should be as good as gone by the trade deadline Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright, a 2024 fourth-round pick, might be traded during the trade deadline of the 2025 NFL season.

Miami Dolphins inactives at Carolina Panthers: Who's in and out? The Dolphins have running back Jaylen Wright inactive at the Carolina Panthers.

OCTOBER 5, 2025 • 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, 2025 • 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, 2025 • 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.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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, 2025 • 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, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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, 2025 • 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.

Spotted at practice Thursday Wright (knee) is participating in the early portion of Thursday's practice open to the media, asgdag reports.

Impact Wright's participation level for Thursday is still to be determined, but he could be in line to upgrade to 'limited' activity for the first time since undergoing right knee surgery late August. The second-year pro was sidelined Week 1 and is working to gain clearance in time for Sunday's divisional matchup against New England.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sits out practice again Wright (knee) did not practice Wednesday, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Impact Wright has yet to practice since undergoing right knee surgery late August, and he appears an unlikely candidate to gain clearance in time to return Sunday against the Patriots. The Dolphins haven't yet, however, offered an expected timetable for the 2024 fourth-round pick's return. If Wright is sidelined again Week 2, Ollie Gordon and practice-squad man Jeff Wilson will remain the backups to undersize workhorse De'Von Achane.

SEPTEMBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play in Week 1 Wright (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's season opener against the Colts, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Impact Per Marcel Louis-Jacques, coach Mike McDaniel revealed Aug. 28 that Wright had a "small procedure" done to address a lower leg injury, with the Dolphins' official injury report subsequently having clarified that the 2024 fourth-rounder is dealing with a knee issue. In any case, Wright will be sidelined this weekend, at a minimum, while the Dolphins haven't yet outlined a timetable for when the running back might return to practice. In his absence, Ollie Gordon is slated to handle complementary snaps behind De'Von Achane, with JaMycal Hasty and Jeff Wilson candidates to be elevated from Miami's practice squad ahead of Week 1 action.

Darren Waller out for Dolphins' season opener with hip strain

Dolphins tight end Darren Waller is dealing with a hip strain and will not play in Miami's season opener Sunday against the Colts

SEPTEMBER 5, 2025 • Associated Press

Impact Wright is expected to miss time after undergoing surgery to address a right leg injury late August, with coach Mike McDaniel saying the second-year running back is likely to sit out multiple weeks. Official clarity on Wright's status for Week 1 will arrive with Friday's practice report, at the latest, but fantasy managers should expect him to be unavailable Sunday at Indianapolis.
