"One of the less exciting aspects of the preseason is the risk of injuries and the growing list of those who are unable to suit up in Week 1. Patriots' rival Miami Dolphins were hit with the injury bug in a big way, and second-year running back Jaylen Wright is one of those who will miss time due to a leg injury."
"Mike McDaniel hasn't brought as much success to the Dolphins organization as some may like, but he has helped develop Tua Tagovailoa and company into a very strong offense. One underrated aspect of what he's been able to accomplish is forming a strong run game, where the name of the running back matters less, which is essential given starter De'Von Achane's injury history."
Preseason injuries have increased the list of Dolphins players unavailable early in the season, with second-year running back Jaylen Wright sidelined by a leg injury and expected to miss several weeks. Head coach Mike McDaniel has built a potent offense and a resilient run game that limits dependence on any single back, which matters because starter De'Von Achane has a history of injuries. Achane had 68 carries for 249 yards last season and produced season highs against New England with 13 touches for 86 yards. With Wright out, Miami will rely on Ollie Gordon II, Jeff Wilson, and JaMycal Hasty for depth, while the passing attack featuring Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, Darren Waller, and Malik Washington remains a major strength.
