Overview
- De'Von Achane suffered a season-ending torn ACL in Week 3, prompting the Dolphins to place him on injured reserve and start a multi-month rehab and surgical plan.
- Miami plans to split the immediate running-back workload between Ollie Gordon II and Jaylen Wright while the team evaluates which player can emerge as the lead option.
- Jaylen Wright, who was inactive in Week 3 with a foot issue, is expected to return to availability this week and factor into the carry split.
- The team brought four free-agent backs — Hassan Haskins, Kenny McIntosh, Damien Martinez, and Elijah Tau-Tolliver — in for workouts but had not signed any of them as of Wednesday morning.
- With the Dolphins 0-3 and Achane on a recent multi-year extension, the club is prioritizing younger in-house options and practice-squad depth (Jarquez Hunter and Carlos Washington Jr.) while monitoring performance and roster moves for near-term reinforcement.
