The Dolphins ruled running back Jaylen Wright out for Week 1 because of a leg injury earlier this week and he’s set to miss more time than that. Head coach Mike McDaniel said on Thursday that Wright had a surgical procedure to address the injury. Wright is not at risk of missing the season, but will need some time to recover. McDaniel said he could return to action before the end of September and shared that the team has added JaMycal Hasty to their practice squad for more backfield depth. Jeff Wilson is also joining the practice squad, which gives the team further insurance against anything happening to De’Von Achane or Ollie Gordon early in the regular season.
With Achane a little banged up, i have to believe he will be on a pitch count Week 1. Gordon could really see a decent workload Week 1 and I'm all for it.
Gordon has been the better back of the two. I haven't been all that impressed with Wright. I'm fine with this. Give the ball to Gordon and let him go.
