Miami Dolphins

Chris Bell

WR

The Dolphins kept Bell's reps in check for the second day in a row, but the team hasn't indicated that he's dealing with a setback with his surgically repaired right knee. As long as he can practice in some fashion Friday, Bell should be in good position to suit up Sunday against the Vikings. Through his first three NFL games, the rookie third-round pick out of Louisville has put together a 5-92-0 receiving line on 11 targets.

Jaylen Wright

RB

Wright wasn't available for the Dolphins' Week 3 loss to the Chiefs while he tended to a pair of injuries, but after turning in a limited practice Wednesday and then upgrading to full activity Thursday, he looks like he'll be good to go for Sunday's game against the Vikings. With De'Von Achane (knee) out for the season, Wright and Ollie Gordon should both be in store for expanded opportunities out of the backfield, but it's not immediately clear which of the two will rank as the Dolphins' preferred option. Miami also plans to elevate one of Jarquez Hunter or Carlos Washington from the practice squad to give the team a third running back in Sunday's contest.

Aaron Brewer

C

questionable

Caleb Douglas

WR

Douglas didn't practice last week prior to sitting out this past Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. Head coach Jeff Hafley provided some optimism earlier in the week by labeling Douglas day-to-day, but the rookie wide receiver has yet to resume practicing ahead of Sunday's game against Minnesota. Douglas will likely have to practice in at least some capacity Friday to avoid being ruled out on Friday's injury report.

Storm Duck

CB

Duck was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. The Dolphins have until Oct. 21 to return the cornerback to the active roster, or the team will need to keep the 25-year-old on the reserve/PUP list for the remainder of the 2026 season.

Tucker Addington

LS

questionable

Jordyn Brooks

LB

Brooks led Miami in tackles while playing all 49 of the team's defensive snaps in the contest. The weak-side linebacker also played five special-teams snaps.

Jacob Rodriguez

LB

Rodriguez played all 49 defensive snaps for the Dolphins in the contest. The second-round rookie intercepted Patrick Mahomes in the second quarter on a deep throw intended for Rashee Rice and ran it back 18 yards to Miami's 47-yard line. The 24-year-old's first career interception did not lead to Dolphins points, but he's up to 28 total tackles (12 solo) over his first three career games.

Malik Washington

WR

Washington became the focal point of the Dolphins offense after De'Von Achane suffered a season-ending torn ACL in the first half. On the season, Washington has recorded 12 catches for 152 yards on a team-high 23 targets. He's also handed three rushing attempts for nine yards.

Robert Beal Jr.

DE

questionable

Greg Dulcich

TE

Dulcich had far and away his best performance of the season, seeing seven targets in the defeat. The tight end's next-closest number of targets was three in Week 2. The 26-year-old received over double the attention in Week 3 after De'Von Achane (knee) suffered a serious injury.

Riley Patterson

PK

Patterson finished off the Dolphins' first possession of the second half, converting a 37-yard field-goal try to narrow the deficit to 14-10. He didn't attempt another kick during the contest, making it the first game this year during which he did not have multiple field-goal tries. Through three games, the kicker has gone 5-for-7 on field-goal attempts, including 0-for-1 from 50-plus yards, and he may not get many opportunities when Miami squares off with Minnesota's impressive defense in Week 4.

De'Von Achane

RB

Achane's move to injured reserve was merely a formality after head coach Jeff Hafley confirmed earlier Monday that the running back would be lost for the season after sustaining an ACL tear in his left knee during Sunday's 24-10 loss to Kansas City. With Achane out of the mix for the rest of 2026, the Dolphins are left with Jaylen Wright (foot) and Ollie Gordon as the lone running backs on the 53-man roster.

Marcellas Dial Jr.

CB

DJ Campbell

G

Brady Cook

QB

Chukwuebuka Godrick

OT

Malik Willis

QB

Willis led the team in rushing yards in a game starting running back De'Von Achane (knee) left in the first quarter. Achane could be facing a lengthy absence, which would further deplete a Dolphins offense that already lacks playmakers and entered Sunday's loss without wide receiver Caleb Douglas (ankle) and backup running back Jaylen Wright (foot). Willis has yet to exceed 220 passing yards or produce a multi-touchdown performance for the Dolphins, though he has rushed for at least 39 yards twice in three games ahead of a Week 4 road game at Minnesota.

Ollie Gordon II

RB

Gordon capitalized on his added opportunities after De'Von Achane (knee) exited the game in the first quarter. The 2025 sixth-round pick capped Miami's 17-play, 91-yard opening drive with a three-yard touchdown run, one play after Gordon converted a third-and-9 with an 11-yard run. Miami's offense produced just three points the rest of the way and Gordon exited briefly due to cramps but returned. Achane is feared to have a major injury, and if Jaylen Wright (foot) is also unable to play against the Vikings in Week 3, Gordon would be in line to handle a substantial workload again in the Dolphins' struggling offense.

Ryan Miller

WR

Miller was questionable ahead of the meeting with Kansas City due to hip and back injuries. However, the wideout is good to go. With Caleb Douglas (ankle) ruled out, Miller, who had a touchdown in Week 2 against the 49ers, could be more involved.

JuJu Brents

CB

Chop Robinson

LB

The defensive end likely suffered the concussion in Week 1 against the Raiders and then missed the Dolphins' Week 2 clash with the 49ers. Robinson has suffered three concussions in the last two seasons and told reporters he would wear the Guardian Cap on his helmet this week versus Kansas City, per Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post. The Miami Herald's Barry Jackson reported that Robinson has suffered "at least" five concussions in this three-year NFL career.

Kevin Coleman Jr.

WR

Coleman played 46 percent of the Dolphins' offensive snaps in the blowout loss. The fifth-round rookie appears to have taken a back seat to Malik Washington, Caleb Douglas (ankle) and Chris Bell. Coleman could see an uptick in usage in the team's Week 3 game against the Chiefs if Douglas cannot play due to his ankle injury.

Jalen Tolbert

WR

Justin Joly
