Wright (quadriceps) is listed as inactive Sunday against the Lions.
After sitting out Wednesday's practice due to a quadriceps injury, Wright was able to get back to limited Thursday and maintain that activity level Friday, at which point he was tagged as questionable in advance of the weekend. On Sunday morning, however, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that Wright isn't expected to suit up, and that's now locked in. With Wright out of the lineup, Kaytron Allen (quad) and Carlos Washington will serve as the reserve RB options behind Ollie Gordon.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Not slated to play Sunday
Rotowire
Wright (quadriceps) isn't in line to play in Sunday's game against the Lions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Wright was held out of drills Wednesday due to a quad injury before capping Week 9 prep with back-to-back limited practices. That left him questionable to suit up Sunday, but assuming he's listed among the Dolphins' inactives about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, he'll be in street clothes this weekend. Kaytron Allen (quadriceps, questionable) and Carlos Washington are the other options to handle complementary reps behind No. 1 RB Ollie Gordon.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Deemed questionable
Rotowire
Wright (quad) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Averaging just 1.9 yards per carry, Wright is unlikely to get more than a handful of touches off the bench if he's active this Sunday. Ollie Gordon has been dominating Miami's backfield work.

Wright (quadriceps) will practice Friday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Averaging a miserable 1.9 yards per carry this season, Wright has no fantasy appeal other than being Ollie Gordon's ineffective backup.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Limited Thursday
Rotowire
Wright (quadriceps) was limited in Thursday's practice, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Wright has been battling various issues all season and hasn't been effective when on the field, yet he's still operating as the Dolphins' lightly-used RB2 behind Ollie Gordon. Wright is averaging a microscopic 1.9 yards per carry this season.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Returns to practice Thursday
Rotowire
Wright (quadriceps) is taking part in practice Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Wright didn't practice Wednesday, so Thursday's practice appearance is a step in the right direction, but the extent of his participation remains to be seen. Ollie Gordon has cemented himself as the lead back for the Dolphins, while Wright hasn't exceeded six touches in a game this season.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Sits out first Week 9 practice
Rotowire
Wright (quadriceps) was a non-participant in Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
In addition to a foot injury, Wright was listed with the same quad issue on the Dolphins' Week 8 injury report but proceeded to log three full practices before playing in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Patriots. Though he played just 13 total snaps before offense and special teams in Week 8, Wright apparently emerged from the contest with his quad injury still bothering him. He'll have two more chances to get back to full practice participation prior to this Sunday's game against the Lions.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Remains non-factor in Week 8
Rotowire
Wright rushed two times for five yards in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Patriots.
Wright failed to catch his lone target in the passing game and remains firmly planted behind Ollie Gordon on the depth chart. While Gordon has been one of the most productive running backs on a per-carry basis this season, Wright has seemingly been stuck in the mud as a runner, averaging a pitiful 1.9 yards per carry on 22 attempts.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Opens week with full practice
Rotowire
Wright (quadriceps/foot) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Wright exited Sunday's 28-25 win over the Jets late in the fourth quarter on account of the quad issue, but his availability for this weekend's game against the Patriots doesn't look to be in any peril. Since returning to action Week 4 against the Vikings following a one-game absence, Wright has been a clear second fiddle to Ollie Gordon out of the Miami backfield. In his last three appearances, Wright hasn't recorded any receptions and has logged no more than six carries in any contest.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Good to go
Rotowire
Wright (foot) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at the Jets, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
An upgrade to full participation Friday suggests Wright should be ready for his backup role behind Ollie Gordon, who has three of Miami's five TDs over the past three games.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Will play Sunday
Rotowire
Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley said Friday that Wright (foot) will play in Sunday's game against the Jets, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
It remains to be seen if Wright will have a designation on the final injury report, but either way, it sounds like he's ready to play. He'll likely be the team's No. 2 RB behind Ollie Gordon, who has dominated backfield work since De'Von Achane suffered an ACL tear.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Limited to begin week
Rotowire
Wright (foot) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
According to Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post, Wright looked good in practice despite having his reps managed. Wright has been battling a nagging foot issue for a chunk of the season but has been able to play in both of the last two games. Miami is coming off a Week 6 bye, so Wright should be closer to full health when the team faces off against the Jets this Sunday. He'll likely work in a complementary role behind Ollie Gordon, who averaged 7.0 yards per carry on 27 totes over the past two weeks following De'Von Achane's season-ending knee injury.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Ready to play Sunday
Rotowire
Wright (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Wright was a mid-week addition to the Dolphins' injury report, after a sore foot limited his participation in practices Thursday and Friday. He took a questionable tag into the weekend but looks to be healthy enough to contribute out of the Miami backfield. In the wake of De'Von Achane's (knee) season-ending ACL tear, Ollie Gordon led the Dolphins with 100 rushing yards and a touchdown on nine carries to go with two catches for zero yards in a Week 4 loss to the Vikings. After that strong effort, Gordon is the favorite to pace the Miami backfield in snaps and touches once again in Week 5, but it's possible Wright cuts into his workload a bit more if he isn't slowed by the foot issue.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Wright (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Wright missed Week 3 with a foot injury and stinger, before returning for Week 4 and splitting backfield work with Ollie Gordon early on. Gordon dominated snaps after breaking off a long run in the third quarter of the loss to Minnesota, and he was the favorite to take most of the carries this week even before Wright became a mid-week addition to the injury report. He's listed with a foot issue again, getting a questionable designation after limited practices Thursday and Friday. Meanwhile, the Dolphins claimed RB Kaytron Allen off waivers Friday, giving them another option in the backfield.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Limited Thursday due to foot
Rotowire
Wright (foot) showed up as a limited participant at Thursday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Wright practiced without limitations Wednesday but took a step back Thursday. He missed Miami's Week 3 loss to the Chiefs due to a foot injury but returned in Week 4 against the Vikings. Wright was outplayed by Ollie Gordon against Minnesota, and Gordon is likely in line to get the majority of rushing opportunities Sunday against the Bengals, regardless of Wright's status.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Week 5 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Wright was terrible in Week 4 at Minnesota in the first game without De'Von Achane (knee), while Ollie Gordon II was a star. Gordon had nine carries for 100 yards and a touchdown and two targets for no catches, and Wright had five carries for 7 yards and no targets. Gordon played 22 snaps compared to just 12 for Wright, and Gordon should be considered Miami's best running back heading into Week 5 against Cincinnati. That said, I'm not convinced Wright will just be an afterthought, and you can stash him on your bench for at least one more week for 1 percent of your remaining FAAB. If Gordon has another big game, then you can drop Wright in the majority of leagues.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Stuck in mud against Minnesota
Rotowire
Wright rushed five times for seven yards in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Vikings.
Wright actually started ahead of Ollie Gordon, but Gordon ended up out-snapping Wright 22 to 12 and turned his nine carries into 100 yards and a touchdown. Gordon also saw two targets to Wright's zero. Wright figures to see a handful of carries each week alongside Gordon, but the latter is the preferred back for fantasy.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Wright (foot) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
Wright was considered doubtful for this contest after missing practice Friday due to a foot issue and a stinger. His next chance to suit up will come in Week 4 against the Vikings. In the meantime, Ollie Gordon could see more involvement behind De'Von Achane.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Limited again Thursday
Rotowire
Wright (foot) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Wright is not only battling a foot injury, but he also sustained a stinger in Sunday's 35-13 loss to San Francisco. However, since he practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday and Thursday, the door remains open regarding his potential to play in Week 3 against Kansas City. While Wright hasn't held a prominent role, his absence would likely mean more work for Ollie Gordon behind De'Von Achane.

Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Minimal usage in loss
Rotowire
Wright had two kick returns for 106 yards alongside one carry for a one-yard loss in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Raiders.
Wright was an afterthought behind starting running back De'Von Achane, who had 11 carries and five targets in the loss. The No. 2 option likely will make a living as a returner -- he had a 79-yard return Sunday -- with snaps and touches looking minimal behind Achane.
