The Miami Dolphins have signed running back Alexander Mattison to a one-year contract to bolster their backfield, which currently includes De'Von Achane and Jaylen Wright. Coach Mike McDaniel expressed confidence in the team's running back room, anticipating more additions as they prepare for the upcoming season. Mattison, who previously played for the Raiders and showed promise despite average performance in 2024, is expected to support the team in short-yardage situations, addressing a noted area of struggle from the previous season.
"Right now, I feel extremely strong about who is in the room knowing it will grow by two to three people... That tandem of De'Von and Jaylen gives us an opportunity to really be effective."
"Mattison could slot in as a short-yardage back this season -- an area in which Miami struggled in 2024."
