Dolphins Rule Jaylen Wright Inactive as Lions Expect Amon‑Ra St. Brown to Play

Wright’s absence forces Miami to shift kickoff-return duties and lean on thin running-back depth for today’s game.

Overview

  • The Dolphins officially listed Jaylen Wright inactive for Sunday’s game after he was ruled out with a quadriceps issue.
  • Wright had been Miami’s primary kickoff returner this season, averaging 27.6 yards on 22 returns, so his absence changes the team’s special-teams plans.
  • Miami elevated Carlos Washington Jr. from the practice squad and listed Kaytron Allen questionable to provide depth behind RB1 Ollie Gordon II.
  • The Lions expect Amon‑Ra St. Brown to be available despite a rib concern while Detroit already ruled out DJ Wonnum, Cade Mays and DJ Reed and placed Jack Campbell on injured reserve.
  • Final inactive lists are announced 90 minutes before kickoff so last-minute changes are possible and Miami’s return-game choices and Gordon’s workload are the key items to watch.
