Dolphins' Salvon Ahmed: Begins week with missed practice

Ahmed didn't practice Wednesday due to a shoulder injury, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

Ahmed briefly left last week's loss to the Broncos with the injury before returning to action. He'll have two more chances to resume practicing before the Dolphins decide whether to assign him with an injury designation for Week 12, but Miami's backfield situation will warrant close monitoring even if Ahmed gains clearance for Sunday's game against the Jets. Myles Gaskin (knee) was designated for return from injured reserve Wednesday, and offseason trade acquisition Matt Breida could take on an expanded role in Week 12 now that he's further removed from a hamstring injury that sidelined him for two games.
