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

The Miami Dolphins have placed Alexander Mattison on injured reserve after he suffered a season-ending neck injury
AUGUST 12, 2025 • Associated Press
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.

Motivated to carve out larger role Wright has added six pounds of muscle this offseason and faces the opportunity to earn a larger backfield role Year 2, beginning with the start of mandatory minicamp Tuesday, Chris...
Impact Wright entered the NFL as a 2024 fourth-round pick anticipated to join De'Von Achane as a big-play threat out of the backfield, courtesy of his 4.38 speed, but he wrapped an uneventful rookie year with just 68 carries for 249 yards (3.7 YPC) and zero touchdowns, with just one rush of 20-plus yards. Achane remains Miami's clear No. 1 tailback but is limited by a small frame and handled 281 touches in 2024, so the Dolphins should be eager for another playmaker capable of handling consistent carries to emerge. Wright still faces clear opportunity if he can impress this offseason, and coach Mike McDaniel talked up his effort during OTAs, but he'll have to compete with two larger backs in the form of experienced veteran Alexander Mattison (5-11, 220 pounds) and rookie sixth-round pick Ollie Gordon (6-1, 226 pounds), both of whom are better suited for power concepts.
