The Miami Dolphins host the Buffalo Bills tonight, but may be without their two best running backs. Raheem Mostert has already been ruled out and De’Von Achane entered the team today with a questionable rating, although he began light practice again on Wednesday.
In the Dolphins’ season-opening win over the Jaguars, Mostert played until the fourth quarter. His last possession came on the second-to-last drive of the game. Achane, on the other hand, was on the field for the last drive. While Achane’s ankle issue may not be as bad, Mostert’s chest injury is apparently that bad. The question is, would he have played if he had a full week to recover? We’ll find out when the Dolphins return to practice early next week.
Last week, the Dolphins added only Robbie Chosen to the active roster, and talented rookie Jaylen Wright remained on the inactive list. Will he play against the Bills?
The inactive list will be released soon, but it’s hard to believe Wright will be on it.
The inactives will be announced at 6:45 p.m. ET. This will be updated.
The Dolphins will be without Raheem Mostert, and Malik Washington will miss his second game of the 2024 season. Washington is battling a quadriceps injury, while Mostert has a pectoral injury that has kept him out of practice this week. Tonight’s game is important, and the Dolphins will have depth issues at running back and wide receiver.
With Mostert out, Jaylen Wright is likely to make his first appearance of the 2024 season. Wright is expected to start behind Jeff Wilson, who could have a lot of work to do tonight.
The inactives will be announced at 6:45 p.m. ET. This will be updated.
The Bills have ruled out Dawuane Smoot with a toe injury. Cornerback Taron Johnson will also miss the game with a forearm injury.
