Coach Mike McDaniel said after Saturday's preseason game versus the Jaguars that Wright (leg) continues to be evaluated and is "week-to-week," Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

Such a comment from McDaniel indicates that Wright's status for the Dolphins' season opener Sunday, Sept. 7 at Indianapolis is up in the air. Wright walked off the practice field slowly Thursday and then was spotted with a sleeve on his right leg and without crutches ahead of Saturday's exhibition. With the second-year pro's immediate future to be determined, rookie sixth-rounder Ollie Gordon currently is the healthiest and most appealing reserve running back behind starter De'Von Achane, who currently is sidelined due to a calf injury.

Waddle recorded one catch on one target for eight yards in Saturday's 14-6 preseason win over the Jaguars.

Waddle played along with most of Miami's healthy starting offensive unit and was on the field for three possessions. He made his lone catch on the final drive on a pass delivered by Tua Tagovailoa, and Waddle will now turn his focus toward a Week 1 matchup against the Colts.

Coach Mike McDaniel said after Saturday's preseason game against the Jaguars that Achane (calf) hasn't suffered any setbacks, and the running back should return to practice ahead of a Week 1 road matchup with the Colts on Sunday, Sept. 7, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Achane has missed a week of practice sandwiched by the Dolphins' last two exhibitions due to a calf injury. Per Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com, McDaniel previously has noted that Achane's absence is "preventative in nature," so the team likely will continue to take a cautious approach with its No. 1 running back. Whether or not Achane mixes into drills this week or during Week 1 prep remains to be seen, but with top reserve RB Jaylen Wright week-to-week due to a right leg injury, rookie sixth-round pick Ollie Gordon currently is the healthiest and most fantasy-friendly of Miami's remaining options at the position.

Tagovailoa completed four of eight passes for 49 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 14-6 preseason win over the Jaguars.

Tagovailoa made his preseason debut and led three offensive possessions, the final of which ended with a touchdown. Though Jaylen Waddle also played, Tagovailoa primarily targeted Malik Washington, who did the majority of the work on Tagovailoa's 25-yard touchdown pass. Most importantly, he came from the contest healthy and will be locked in as the starting quarterback for Miami's Week 1 matchup against the Colts.

Little converted both of his field-goal attempts in Saturday's 14-6 preseason loss to the Dolphins.

Little accounted for all of Jacksonville's scoring, nailing kicks from 59 and 43 yards away. He also made a 70-yard field goal in Jacksonville's first preseason contest, so he appears more than ready to handle kicking duties in Jacksonville's regular-season opener against the Panthers. Little is coming off an impressive rookie campaign, as he converted 27 of his 29 field goals, including 13 of 15 from 40 yards or more.

Dike recorded one catch on two targets for one yard in Friday's 23-13 preseason win over the Vikings.

Dike wasn't a starter even with Calvin Ridley (soreness) sidelined, and the former appears to be working clearly behind fellow rookie Elic Ayomanor. There's little question that Dike will make the roster, but his primary role could initially come on special teams. Per Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com, coach Brian Callahan praised Dike for his work as a returner following Friday's contest, which was highlighted by a 36-yard kick return.

Martinez rushed the ball seven times for 24 yards in Seattle's 20-7 preseason loss to the Packers on Saturday. He added two receptions on two targets for 14 yards.

The Seahawks rested all of their starters and many of their top backups as well. That gave Martinez the chance to start, though it also made clear that he is fourth on the depth chart at best. That could put him on the roster bubble as cutdown day nears.

Milroe completed 13 of 24 passes for 148 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Saturday's 20-7 preseason loss to the Packers. He added seven rushes for 31 yards while also losing three fumbles.

Milroe was the only Seahawks quarterback to play, and there were plenty of positives and negatives to take away from his performance. He struggled against the Packers' better defensive personnel and managed to lead only one scoring drive that came early in the fourth quarter, while also taking five sacks and turning the ball over three times. More positively, Milroe displayed solid skills on Seattle's scoring drive, showing accuracy to all levels of the field -- including an 18-yard touchdown pass -- while also picking up 15 yards on a designed run. Milroe appears likely to open the season as Seattle's third quarterback.

Brooks recorded four carries for 15 yards in Saturday's 20-7 preseason win over the Seahawks.

Brooks was the second back into the game behind Josh Jacobs, though he did rotate carries with Emanuel Wilson for a few drives. Wilson was the more efficient back but played deeper into the game, suggesting Brooks could be either second or third on the depth chart depending on MarShawn Lloyd's (hamstring) status for a Week 1 matchup against the Lions.

Wilson rushed the ball eight times for 38 yards in Saturday's 20-7 preseason win over the Seahawks.

Wilson was interestingly the third back into the game for the Packers, behind both Josh Jacobs and Chris Brooks. Wilson also played later into the game relative to Brooks, despite being more efficient with his carries. That suggests Wilson could be as low as No. 4 on the running back depth chart to begin the regular season, depending on the status of MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring).
