Mandatory Credit: Gregory Fisher-Imagn Images Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright is expected to miss multiple weeks after a minor procedure, coach Mike McDaniel said Thursday.
Wright, 22, has been dealing with a leg injury and the team hopes to have him back before the end of September.
Starting running back De'Von Achane is recovering from a calf injury and remains on track for the Sept. 7 season opener against the host Indianapolis Colts.
The Dolphins also have sixth-round rookie Ollie Gordon II in the backfield and they signed veteran running backs JaMycal Hasty and Jeff Wilson to the practice squad. Alexander Mattison will miss the season with a neck injury.
Wright ran for 249 yards and caught three passes in 15 games (one start) as a rookie last season after being selected in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft.
