Jaylen Wright - Page 3 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Not practicing Monday Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that Wright (leg) will not practice, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

Impact Wright appears to be trending in the wrong direction to suit up Week 1 versus the Colts on Sunday, though De'Von Achane (calf) returned to practice Monday and remains on track to play, barring any setbacks. If Wright indeed misses time while recovering from right leg surgery, rookie Ollie Gordon figures to operate as the No. 2 running back behind Achane, and potentially to secure that role for himself long-term if he can impress early. Wright struggled this preseason, averaging just 1.5 YPC across two appearances.

Recovering from surgery Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Thursday that Wright (leg) is recovering from surgery and is expected to miss multiple weeks, including the regular-season opener against Ind...

Impact McDaniel said Wright only underwent a "small procedure" and that his injury isn't season-ending, per Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com, and that he's expected to return to action "Septemberish," per C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald. As such, it sounds like the Dolphins don't consider Wright a candidate for IR, as that would force him to miss at least four games and return Oct. 5 against the Cardinals at the earliest. De'Von Achane (calf) remains on track for Week 1, but it sounds like rookie sixth-rounder Ollie Gordon will be in position to kick off the year as the clear No. 2 backfield option versus Indianapolis with Wright unavailable. The team also signed Jeff Wilson and JaMycal Hasty to the practice squad.

Not likely to play Week 1 Coach Mike McDaniel acknowledged Monday that Wright (leg) isn't likely to be available to play in Week 1, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Though Wright is trending toward being unavailable Sept. 7 against the Colts, the report suggests that the running back's absence shouldn't linger much beyond Week 1. While Wright is sidelined, Ollie Gordon is in a position to see added opportunities behind De'Von Achane (calf), plus we'd expect the Dolphins to add backfield depth in the coming days.

Deemed 'week-to-week' by McDaniel Coach Mike McDaniel said after Saturday's preseason game versus the Jaguars that Wright (leg) continues to be evaluated and is "week-to-week," Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post repo...

Impact Such a comment from McDaniel indicates that Wright's status for the Dolphins' season opener Sunday, Sept. 7 at Indianapolis is up in the air. Wright walked off the practice field slowly Thursday and then was spotted with a sleeve on his right leg and without crutches ahead of Saturday's exhibition. With the second-year pro's immediate future to be determined, rookie sixth-rounder Ollie Gordon currently is the healthiest and most appealing reserve running back behind starter De'Von Achane, who currently is sidelined due to a calf injury.

Not slated to play Saturday Wright (leg) isn't suited up for Saturday's preseason contest against the Jaguars, Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Wright walked slowly off the practice field Thursday due to an undisclosed injury. While he isn't slated to play Saturday, he was wearing a compression sleeve on his left leg without crutches, indicating that the health concern isn't a serious one. With No. 1 RB De'Von Achane also sidelined at the moment with a calf injury, rookie sixth-rounder Ollie Gordon and veterans Mike Boone and Aaron Shampklin are the Dolphins' health options at the position.

Rough showing in preseason win Wright rushed four times for three yards during Miami's 24-17 preseason win over the Lions on Saturday.

Impact Wright also fumbled once, though it was recovered by the Dolphins' offense. While Wright struggled to get anything going Saturday, rookie Ollie Gordon impressed with 10 carries for 50 yards, with a long scamper of 19 yards. With Alexander Mattison (neck) done for the year, Wright is competing for a potentially significant role behind starter De'Von Achane (lower body), but unless he can close out the preseason strong during Miami's preseason finale against the Jaguars on Sat., Aug. 23, he could lose tangible ground to Gordon. With Achane now managing a lower body soft-tissue injury, both Wright and Gordon figure to benefit from increased first-team reps at practice next week.

Dolphins place Alexander Mattison on season-ending injured reserve, sign two veteran running backs

Mixed results in Sunday's game Wright rushed nine times for 16 yards and a touchdown while finishing without a target in Sunday's 24-24 preseason tie against the Bears.

Impact Wright got two chances from the 1-yard line on Miami's opening drive but failed to punch either in. He made amends with a seven-yard rushing touchdown in the second quarter but still finished with an ugly average of 1.8 yards per carry Sunday. Wright is competing with Alexander Mattison (neck) and Ollie Gordon for the backup role behind De'Von Achane. All three of the contenders for the No. 2 spot scored touchdowns Sunday, though Mattison subsequently exited due to an injury. The competition will continue Saturday in Miami's second preseason game against the Dolphins.
