Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Leading RB2 competition
The Dolphins listed Wright as the No. 2 running back on the team's first unofficial depth chart that was released Tuesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Depth charts released in training camp are fluid and subject to change as the weeks progress, but it looks like Wright is ahead of 2025 sixth-rounder Ollie Gordon for the Dolphins' RB2 role behind De'Von Achane, with Donovan Edwards and Carlos Washington both fighting for a roster spot. Wright missed the first six games of the 2025 regular season due to a knee injury, but he had his moments when he was healthy, such as Week 14 against the Jets when he turned 24 carries into 107 yards and a touchdown. Friday's preseason opener against the Commanders is Wright's first in-game opportunity to separate himself from Gordon and the rest of the competition for the backup job.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Looking good at OTAs
Dolphins offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik said Thursday that Wright "has some speed" and looks comfortable this offseason, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
It sounds like Wright is off to a good start under the new coaching staff, competing with Ollie Gordon, Donovan Edwards and others for backup backfield roles behind De'Von Achane. One of the bunch could see a decent number of carries, as the Dolphins presumably won't want the sub-200-pound Achane butting heads between the tackles repeatedly. Wright was billed as a big-play threat rather than a power runner when the Dolphins took him in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, but he does have decent size (5-foot-10, 208 pounds) to go with his 4.38 speed (2024 Combine).

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Fizzles in lead role Sunday
Wright rushed 13 times for 23 yards and brought in both targets for 17 yards in the Dolphins' 38-10 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.
Wright had the opportunity to helm the Dolphins' ground attack due to De'Von Achane's absence with a shoulder injury, but the former found running room to be at a premium against New England's stout front. Wright found occasional success as a complementary option throughout the 2025 season, finishing the campaign with 288 rushing yards (4.1 yards per carry) and two touchdowns while adding five receptions for 44 yards on nine targets across 10 games. Wright figures to continue working in a reserve role in 2026, potentially in a new offensive system if Miami opts to let head coach and offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel go following a 7-10 season.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Big run in Week 17 win
Wright rushed five times for 56 yards in the Dolphins' 20-17 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
The backup running back flashed with a 32-yard run, the longest of his two-year career. Wright also had scored a touchdown in two of the previous three contests and eclipsed 100 yards in one of them, so he's delivered some deep-league, late-season utility behind De'Von Achane. Wright could be the beneficiary of some extra run if head coach Mike McDaniel opts to reduce the snaps of some of his top players in a Week 18 road matchup against the Patriots.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Scores late TD in loss
Wright rushed nine times for 35 yards and a touchdown and brought in one of two targets for 18 yards in the Dolphins' 45-21 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.
Wright saw complementary snaps behind De'Von Achane and recorded his second rushing touchdown of the season on a three-yard run with just under four minutes remaining. Despite the fact he tied his second-highest carry total of the season versus Cincinnati, Wright is likely to slot into a low-volume role in a Week 17 home matchup against the Buccaneers next Sunday unless Achane is injured or there's another blowout scenario at play.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Limited to two touches Monday
Wright rushed once for two yards and brought in his only target for nine yards in the Dolphins' 28-15 loss to the Steelers on Monday night.
One game after logging a career-high 24 carries against the Jets due to De'Von Achane's early exit with a rib injury, Wright reverted to a bit role Monday night despite Ollie Gordon exiting due to an ankle injury in the second quarter. Wright did record only the second catch of his career, but with Achane healthy and capable of playing all three downs, Wright looks likely to remain minimally involved over the final three games of the season, even if Gordon is sidelined for any period of time.
