"Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright was back at the team's Thursday practice, going through drills for the first time in the three weeks since his knee injury. The development possibly puts Wright in play ahead of their home opener against the New England Patriots on Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium. Wright was seen, during a brief media viewing portion of practice, participating in team stretch and then going through cutting drills with a football in his arm."
"Dolphins special teams coordinator Craig Aukerman touched on the running-into-the-kicker penalty on outside linebacker Matthew Judon against the Colts punter last week. He said it was unfortunate because Judon got side-swiped to have his legs taken from underneath him and didn't even feel there was contact between Judon and the punter as Indianapolis' Rigoberto Sanchez landed on his plant foot and jumped over Judon. "We all watched it. We all talked about it," Aukerman said, "but that's not going to stop us""
Jaylen Wright returned to Miami Dolphins practice on Thursday, participating in drills for the first time since sustaining a knee injury three weeks earlier. He took part in team stretch and cutting drills while wearing a compression sleeve on his right leg after a procedure on the knee. The timing makes Wright a possible option for the home opener against the New England Patriots. The Dolphins' backfield featured De'Von Achane with seven carries, rookie Ollie Gordon II with two attempts, and Jeff Wilson Jr. called up from the practice squad. Special teams coordinator Craig Aukerman defended Matthew Judon's running-into-the-kicker penalty, noting Judon was side-swiped and contact appeared incidental.
