Matt Breida - Page 7 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Practicing Wednesday Breida (hamstring) is participating in Wednesday's practice, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Breida, who managed to practice in a limited capacity last week, has missed back-to-back games due to his hamstring injury. If he's able to get healthy in time for Sunday's game in Denver, Breida could see his first chance of the season to handle significant work out of the backfield. Myles Gaskin (knee) will need to remain on injured reserve for at least one more week, and the Dolphins recently released a potential challenger for reps in Jordan Howard.

Inactive in Week 10 Breida (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's Week 10 tilt against the Chargers.

Impact Breida was reported to be unlikely to play early Sunday, and despite a week of limited practice participation, that prognosis has come to fruition. The speedy fourth-year pro's second straight absence leaves the Dolphins with a backfield committee consisting of Salvon Ahmed, DeAndre Washington and Patrick Laird, as both Jordan Howard and Lynn Bowden are healthy scratches.

Not expected to play Sunday Breida, who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers due to a hamstring injury, "may be a week away from going," Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Rapoport's report essentially matches the one provided Saturday by Adam Schefter of ESPN, who noted that Breida will likely miss a second straight game this weekend. In the event that Breida is unable to go, the Dolphins' top Week 10 backfield options would include Jordan Howard (team-high 10 carries for 19 yards and a touchdown Week 9) and Salvon Ahmed (seven carries for 38 yards). Additionally, the Dolphins will also have recent trade acquisition DeAndre Washington available to make his team debut.

Impact The 25-year-old is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's contest, but it appears he hasn't progressed well since injury designations were announced Friday. Breida could step into the starting role if able to play since Myles Gaskin (knee) is sidelined, but he instead seems likely to miss his second straight contest due to the hamstring injury. If Breida is indeed unable to play against Los Angeles, Salvon Ahmed is poised to lead the backfield while Jordan Howard handles short-yardage and goal-line work.

Draws questionable tag Breida (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Breida's hamstring injury kept him from facing the Cardinals last weekend, but it seems like he has at least a fair shot to return versus Los Angeles. The former 49er has worked as the No. 2 back in Miami for most of the season, and he boasts a similar skillset to Myles Gaskin (knee), who was a three-down starter before suffering an MCL sprain. As such, it's possible that Breida could start for the Dolphins if he can prove his full health, but this backfield could also be one of the most clustered units in the league. Jordan Howard has proven effective as a short-yardage specialist, undrafted rookie Salvon Ahmed flashed in limited attempts Week 9, and recent trade acquisition DeAndre Washington should be available to make his team debut. Plus, third-round rookie Lynn Bowden recently came off the reserve/COVID-19 list, and Patrick Laird is always a candidate for limited change-of-pace work.

Another limited practice Breida (hamstring) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Breida's back-to-back limited sessions are certainly emblematic of recovery progress, given that he couldn't practice in any capacity last week. He can't yet be considered a lock to suit up against the Chargers on Sunday, though it does seem like Breida could be trending in the right direction. Health permitting, Breida will work to rejoin a backfield that was led by Jordan Howard and Salvon Ahmed last week.

NOVEMBER 12, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as limited in walk-through Breida (hamstring) is listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Breida wasn't able to suit up against the Cardinals this weekend due to a hamstring injury, but it looks like he's making progress toward a return. Wednesday's report is only an estimation, however, so how much Breida is able to do Thursday could provide a more accurate indication of his health.

Ruled out for Week 9 Breida (hamstring) won't suit up against the Cardinals on Sunday, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

Impact Breida's hamstring issue popped up at a truly inopportune time, as he may have gotten a chance to lead Miami's backfield if healthy. Instead, with Myles Gaskin (knee) on IR, the Dolphins will roll with a combination of Jordan Howard, Patrick Laird and Salvon Ahmed in Arizona. Breida missed a trio of practices this week, per Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site, so it seems like his status for Week 10 could also be up in the air.

Not at practice Thursday Breida (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Breida's Week 9 status gains more import with Myles Gaskin (knee) now on IR. With that in mind, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald relays that coach Brian Flores noted Thursday that Breida has a "chance" to suit up Sunday against the Cardinals. If he's unavailable this weekend, however, the Dolphins would turn to the the likes of Jordan Howard, Patrick Laird (ankle), Lynn Bowden and Salvon Ahmed to handle the team's rushing duties.

Uncertain for Sunday Coach Brian Flores said Thursday that Breida (hamstring) has a "chance" to suit up Sunday against the Cardinals, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact It's not the most convincing of endorsements, as Flores also noted in the interview that "hamstrings are tough." This would have been a prime week for Breida to win back a big part of the role he was expected to have at the start of the season, as Myles Gaskin (knee) was officially placed on IR Thursday morning. If Breida cannot suit up in Week 9, look for a backfield committee to potentially be led by the likes of Jordan Howard, Patrick Laird (ankle), Lynn Bowden and Salvon Ahmed.

Dealing with hamstring injury Breida didn't practice Wednesday due to a hamstring injury, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Assuming he's able to move past his hamstring injury before Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Breida could be positioned to headline the Miami backfield after top option Myles Gaskin (knee) was placed on injured reserve earlier this week. Meanwhile, position mate Patrick Laird (ankle) was limited Wednesday, while trade-deadline pickup DeAndre Washington hasn't yet passed requisite COVID-19 protocols to suit up. With that in mind, Jordan Howard, Lynn Bowden and Salvon Ahmed are left as Miami's only fully healthy running backs to begin the week.

NOVEMBER 4, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Absent from Wednesday's practice Breida wasn't spotted at practice Wednesday, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.

Impact The Dolphins will release their first Week 9 injury report later Wednesday, at which point the nature of Breida's absence will be known. Assuming he's ultimately cleared to play Sunday in Arizona, Breida should be in store for an increased workload with starting back Myles Gaskin (knee) moving to injured reserve earlier this week and recent trade acquisition DeAndre Washington having yet to pass COVID-19 intake testing protocols. In the event Breida is unable to play or is limited Sunday, Miami would rely on some combination of Patrick Laird (ankle), Lynn Bowden and Jordan Howard in the backfield.

Just four touches versus Rams Breida had four carries for 13 yards during Sunday's 28-17 win over the Rams.

Impact Breida was once again relegated to a minor role while Myles Gaskin carried the rock 18 times while logging a team-high three catches on six targets. Given that he's only averaging five carries per game on the year, it seems safe to assume that Breida won't be a focal point on offense versus Arizona in Week 9.
