Jeff Wilson: Joining Dolphins' practice squad
Jeff Wilson is signing with Miami's practice squad Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Wilson is familiar with coach Mike McDaniel's rushing scheme and gives the Dolphins some depth at running back, with De'Von Achane (calf) injured but expected to be ready for Week 1 but Jaylen Wright (leg) a candidate to miss a bit of time early in the year. If Miami's backfield health doesn't improve in time to face off against the Colts in Week 1, it's possible Wilson gets elevated from the practice squad, though if Achane is healthy Wilson would figure to work, at best, in a reserve No. 3 capacity behind Ollie Gordon.

Dolphins' Jeff Wilson: Works as No. 3 back again
Jeff Wilson rushed three times for five yards during Sunday's 20-3 win over the Browns.Wilson again worked as the third backfield option for Miami behind De'Von Achane and Raheem Mostert, but none of the Miami Dolphins' running backs were able to get much going on the ground versus Cleveland.
