Top Jaylen Wright News

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

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

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: 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.
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.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: 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.
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.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Limited again Thursday
Wright (foot) remained limited at Thursday's practice, Marce Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
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.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Limited to begin week
Wright (foot) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
According to Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post, Wright looked good in practice despite having his reps managed. Wright has been battling a nagging foot issue for a chunk of the season but has been able to play in both of the last two games. Miami is coming off a Week 6 bye, so Wright should be closer to full health when the team faces off against the Jets this Sunday. He'll likely work in a complementary role behind Ollie Gordon, who averaged 7.0 yards per carry on 27 totes over the past two weeks following De'Von Achane's season-ending knee injury.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Ready to play Sunday
Wright (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Wright was a mid-week addition to the Dolphins' injury report, after a sore foot limited his participation in practices Thursday and Friday. He took a questionable tag into the weekend but looks to be healthy enough to contribute out of the Miami backfield. In the wake of De'Von Achane's (knee) season-ending ACL tear, Ollie Gordon led the Dolphins with 100 rushing yards and a touchdown on nine carries to go with two catches for zero yards in a Week 4 loss to the Vikings. After that strong effort, Gordon is the favorite to pace the Miami backfield in snaps and touches once again in Week 5, but it's possible Wright cuts into his workload a bit more if he isn't slowed by the foot issue.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: 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.
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.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Limited Thursday due to foot
Wright (foot) showed up as a limited participant at Thursday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Wright practiced without limitations Wednesday but took a step back Thursday. He missed Miami's Week 3 loss to the Chiefs due to a foot injury but returned in Week 4 against the Vikings. Wright was outplayed by Ollie Gordon against Minnesota, and Gordon is likely in line to get the majority of rushing opportunities Sunday against the Bengals, regardless of Wright's status.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Stuck in mud against Minnesota
Wright rushed five times for seven yards in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Vikings.
Wright actually started ahead of Ollie Gordon, but Gordon ended up out-snapping Wright 22 to 12 and turned his nine carries into 100 yards and a touchdown. Gordon also saw two targets to Wright's zero. Wright figures to see a handful of carries each week alongside Gordon, but the latter is the preferred back for fantasy.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Turns in full practice Thursday
Wright (foot/stinger) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Emily Leiker of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Wright wasn't available for the Dolphins' Week 3 loss to the Chiefs while he tended to a pair of injuries, but after turning in a limited practice Wednesday and then upgrading to full activity Thursday, he looks like he'll be good to go for Sunday's game against the Vikings. With De'Von Achane (knee) out for the season, Wright and Ollie Gordon should both be in store for expanded opportunities out of the backfield, but it's not immediately clear which of the two will rank as the Dolphins' preferred option. Miami also plans to elevate one of Jarquez Hunter or Carlos Washington from the practice squad to give the team a third running back in Sunday's contest.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Officially limited Wednesday
Wright (foot) officially was limited at Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Wright didn't play in Week 3 against the Chiefs due to a stinger and foot injury, but stinger has been axed from the practice report to begin Week 4 prep, meaning only the foot issue is bothering him at the moment. If he's able to put all health concerns behind him and return to action Sunday at Minnesota, he'll be in line for a significant bump in playing time in the aftermath of De'Von Achane's torn ACL. Moving forward, Wright and Ollie Gordon are expected to pace the Dolphins backfield.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Taking part in practice Wednesday
Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley said that Wright (foot/stinger) will practice Wednesday, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.
Wright sat out the Dolphins' Week 3 loss to the Chiefs while tending to a foot injury as well as a stinger, but the running back is now being viewed as day-to-day and seemingly has decent odds of making it back in action for Sunday's game against the Vikings. The third-year player earned just three touches over the first two contests of 2026, but with lead back De'Von Achane (knee) out for the season, both Wright and Ollie Gordon should be in store for added opportunities moving forward. Following Achane's early departure in Week 3, Gordon finished the game with 20 touches (17 carries, three catches), but he totaled just 55 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown. Prior to sitting out against the Chiefs, Wright had been working ahead of Gordon, so the former could end up being the Dolphins' preferred option once he gets back to full health.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Remains 'day-to-day'
Head coach Jeff Hafley said Monday that he considers Wright (stinger/foot) to be "day-to-day," Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Wright's health is notable considering the Dolphins lost No. 1 RB De'Von Achane to a torn ACL during Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. Having said that, Hafley also called Wright "day-to-day" last Monday after he emerged from Week 2 at San Francisco with a stinger and foot injury, which didn't allow him to play Week 3. Wright likely will need to get through this week without a DNP to put himself in the running to help cover for the absent Achane. Currently, Ollie Gordon is the only healthy RB on Miami's active roster.
