Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Inactive in Week 9
Wright (quadriceps) is listed as inactive Sunday against the Lions.
After sitting out Wednesday's practice due to a quadriceps injury, Wright was able to get back to limited Thursday and maintain that activity level Friday, at which point he was tagged as questionable in advance of the weekend. On Sunday morning, however, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that Wright isn't expected to suit up, and that's now locked in. With Wright out of the lineup, Kaytron Allen (quad) and Carlos Washington will serve as the reserve RB options behind Ollie Gordon.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Not slated to play Sunday
Wright (quadriceps) isn't in line to play in Sunday's game against the Lions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Wright was held out of drills Wednesday due to a quad injury before capping Week 9 prep with back-to-back limited practices. That left him questionable to suit up Sunday, but assuming he's listed among the Dolphins' inactives about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, he'll be in street clothes this weekend. Kaytron Allen (quadriceps, questionable) and Carlos Washington are the other options to handle complementary reps behind No. 1 RB Ollie Gordon.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Deemed questionable
Wright (quad) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Averaging just 1.9 yards per carry, Wright is unlikely to get more than a handful of touches off the bench if he's active this Sunday. Ollie Gordon has been dominating Miami's backfield work.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Will practice Friday
Wright (quadriceps) will practice Friday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Averaging a miserable 1.9 yards per carry this season, Wright has no fantasy appeal other than being Ollie Gordon's ineffective backup.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Limited Thursday
Wright (quadriceps) was limited in Thursday's practice, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Wright has been battling various issues all season and hasn't been effective when on the field, yet he's still operating as the Dolphins' lightly-used RB2 behind Ollie Gordon. Wright is averaging a microscopic 1.9 yards per carry this season.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Returns to practice Thursday
Wright (quadriceps) is taking part in practice Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Wright didn't practice Wednesday, so Thursday's practice appearance is a step in the right direction, but the extent of his participation remains to be seen. Ollie Gordon has cemented himself as the lead back for the Dolphins, while Wright hasn't exceeded six touches in a game this season.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Sits out first Week 9 practice
Wright (quadriceps) was a non-participant in Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
In addition to a foot injury, Wright was listed with the same quad issue on the Dolphins' Week 8 injury report but proceeded to log three full practices before playing in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Patriots. Though he played just 13 total snaps before offense and special teams in Week 8, Wright apparently emerged from the contest with his quad injury still bothering him. He'll have two more chances to get back to full practice participation prior to this Sunday's game against the Lions.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Remains non-factor in Week 8
Wright rushed two times for five yards in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Patriots.
Wright failed to catch his lone target in the passing game and remains firmly planted behind Ollie Gordon on the depth chart. While Gordon has been one of the most productive running backs on a per-carry basis this season, Wright has seemingly been stuck in the mud as a runner, averaging a pitiful 1.9 yards per carry on 22 attempts.

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.
