Dolphins' Jeff Wilson: Oblique injury not severe
Jeff Wilson (oblique) has avoided a major injury after being forced off the field late in Thursday's 31-10 loss to the Bills, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Wilson avoiding a serious health concern is one bright spot for Miami's offense, which is treading uncertain waters following the placement of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa into the concussion protocol. The team could have to rely on Skylar Thompson under center Week 3 versus the Seahawks, by which time Raheem Mostert (chest) might be a candidate to retake the field. Wilson didn't log a carry before being ruled out Thursday versus Buffalo, though he did secure both of his targets for 12 yards.

Dolphins' Jeff Wilson: Exits late in Thursday's loss
Jeff Wilson exited Thursday's game with an oblique injury and was ruled out from returning, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.Wilson was expected to see an expanded role in the absence of Raheem Mostert (chest), though he ultimately managed only two catches for 12 yards with no rushing attempts. It's unclear if the injury caused his limited workload, though Wilson will now have 10 days to recover until Miami's Week 3 matchup against Seattle.

Dolphins' Jeff Wilson: Could get expanded workload
Jeff Wilson may be in line to handle increased backfield work Thursday against Buffalo with Raheem Mostert (chest) ruled out for the contest and De'Von Achane (ankle) considered a game-time decision, Chris Brown of the Bills Radio Network reports.Wilson was already involved in Miami's running back rotation during the team's Week 1 win over Jacksonville, as his five carries for 26 yards ranked a close third on the team behind Achane and Mostert. For Week 2, Wilson should at the very least handle expanded reps with Mostert out, but if Achane also ends up unable to play or is limited, the bulk of the Miami Dolphins' backfield reps may fall on the veteran's shoulders. Rookie fourth-round pick Jaylen Wright is also likely to have a role after having been a healthy inactive Week 1, but this early in the season, Miami may want to lean on more experienced options.

Dolphins' Jeff Wilson: Involved in rotation Week 1
Jeff Wilson rushed five times for 26 yards during the Miami Dolphins' 20-17 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.Wilson finished third in terms of carries behind De'Von Achane (ankle) and Raheem Mostert (chest) in Week 1, but he led Miami's backfield in rushing yards. Achane and Mostert are both nursing injuries heading into a Thursday night divisional matchup against the Bills, so there's a chance Wilson tends to a more significant workload Week 2. Rookie fourth-round pick Jaylen Wright could also get a chance to make his NFL debut if one or more of Miami's backfield starters is limited or inactive Thursday.

Dolphins' Jeff Wilson: Back from broken nose
Jeff Wilson rushed four times for minus-1 yard and caught two of three targets for 21 yards in Friday's 24-14 preseason loss to the Buccaneers.It was revealed during the game that Wilson broke his nose earlier in August, per Alain Poupart of Sports Illustrated, which explains his absence from Miami's second preseason game. Wilson didn't do much in this preseason finale, but he scored a touchdown in the preseason opener against the Falcons. Miami will definitely keep Raheem Mostert, De'Von Achane and rookie fourth-round pick Jaylen Wright on the roster at running back, so Wilson's at risk of being a surprise cut prior to the Sept. 8 regular-season opener against the Jaguars.

Dolphins' Jeff Wilson: Not in uniform Saturday
Jeff Wilson, Ahmed and Jaylen Wright aren't in uniform for Saturday's preseason game against Washington, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.The Miami Dolphins are expected to play a lot of their key players, possibly including RBs Raheem Mostert and De'Von Achane. However, it'll be surprising if either of those guys plays beyond the first few drives, which means Chris Brooks should get a ton of playing time if Wilson, Ahmed and Wright are all held out.

Dolphins' Jeff Wilson: Finds end zone in preseason win
Jeff Wilson rushed five times for seven yards and secured three of four targets for 18 yards and a touchdown in the Miami Dolphins' 20-13 preseason win over the Falcons on Friday night.Wilson drew the start with both Raheem Mostert and De'Von Achane sitting out, but as his final line implies, the veteran back could barely get anything going on the ground. However, Wilson showed off his trademark pass-catching acumen with solid work through the air, and he recorded Miami's first touchdown of the night on a six-yard reception early in the second quarter. Wilson did see rookie fourth-round pick Jaylen Wright, who entered the game after him, impress with 55 rush yards and a score on the ground, and the talented Tennessee product represents Wilson's biggest threat to a roster spot.

Dolphins' Jeff Wilson: Not assured of roster spot?
Jeff Wilson is part of a crowded backfield alongside Raheem Mostert, De'Von Achane and rookie fourth-round pick Jaylen Wright, Omar Kelly of The Miami Herald reports.Wilson may be a favorite of coach Mike McDaniel, but the 28-year-old nonetheless faces a difficult path to earning a roster spot if the three aforementioned RBs stay healthy this summer. With those three being roster locks, the Miami Dolphins may end up having Wilson, Salvon Ahmed and Chris Brooks competing for one or two spots on the practice squad. Wilson agreed to a contract restructure in March, dropping his base salary to $1.12 million while guaranteeing him $400,000, per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald.

Dolphins' Jeff Wilson: Quiet in wild-card loss
Jeff Wilson secured one of two targets for six yards during the Miami Dolphins' 26-7 wild-card loss to Kansas City on Saturday.Wilson had a quiet end to an underwhelming 2023 campaign in which he racked up 188 rushing yards on 41 carries (4.6 average) across 10 regular-season appearances, plus 14 catches for 85 yards on 17 targets. Despite missing the first six games of the season to rib and finger injuries and seeing a substantial downtick in total production, Wilson's end-of-year efficiency metrics still stand out, and his versatility makes him a valuable depth piece for Miami behind Raheem Mostert and De'Von Achane. Wilson's set to make $3 million in 2024 on the final season of his current contract, but the Dolphins could cut him loose this offseason while only incurring a $782,500 dead-cap hit, meaning that in order to stay with the team he will likely have to negotiate a restructure.

Dolphins' Jeff Wilson: Season-high snap count in finale
Jeff Wilson rushed nine times for 45 yards in Sunday's 21-14 loss to Buffalo.Wilson worked as the No. 2 option out of the backfield behind De'Von Achane (toe) while Raheem Mostert (knee) was sidelined Sunday. He was efficient in limited action, though not to the extent that Mostert and Achane have proven this season, and the Miami Dolphins appear optimistic that their top two tailbacks will be available for Saturday's wild-card game in Kansas City. Mostert's availability looks the most up in the air, but if either he or Achane is sidelined for the playoff opener, Wilson will again be in line for an elevated role. Across 10 regular-season appearances, Wilson accrued 188 rushing yards on 41 attempts (4.6 average), plus 14 catches for 85 yards on 17 targets.
