JEFF WILSON JR. NEWS

Back to practice squad Wilson reverted to the Dolphins' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction report.

Impact Wilson was elevated to the Dolphins' active roster for a second-straight week but saw minimal work on special teams during Sunday's 33-27 loss to the Patriots. The veteran running back is eligible to be elevated from the practice squad one more time, at which point the Dolphins would have to sign Wilson to the active roster in order for him to be available for the rest of the season.

Joins active roster Wilson was elevated from the Dolphins' practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Impact The 29-year-old will now join the Dolphins' active roster for the second consecutive week, providing extra depth at running back with Jaylen Wright (knee) likely out again in the Week 2 matchup against the Patriots. Wilson played just one offensive snap in Miami's Week 1 loss, so he's likely to play a depth role in the team's backfield once again Sunday.

Returning to practice squad Wilson reverted to the Dolphins' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Wilson was elevated to the active roster to provide depth in the backfield for Week 1 against the Colts after Jaylen Wright (knee) was ruled out, but the former played just two snaps on offense without showing up on the box score otherwise. Wilson would be a top candidate to be elevated for Miami's Week 2 AFC East clash against New England if Wright remains sidelined.

Elevated for Week 1 The Dolphins have elevated Wilson to the active roster from the practice squad Saturday, in advance of Sunday's regular-season opener on the road at Indianapolis.

Impact Wilson is primed for the No. 3 role in Miami's backfield Week 1 behind De'Von Achane and Ollie Gordon, a gig he could be asked to handle as long as Jaylen Wright (knee) remains sidelined. The 29-year-old veteran suited up for 19 regular-season games with the Dolphins in 2023 and 2024.

Joining Dolphins' practice squad Wilson is signing with Miami's practice squad Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Wilson is familiar with coach Mike McDaniel's rushing scheme and gives the Dolphins some depth at running back, with De'Von Achane (calf) injured but expected to be ready for Week 1 but Jaylen Wright (leg) a candidate to miss a bit of time early in the year. If Miami's backfield health doesn't improve in time to face off against the Colts in Week 1, it's possible Wilson gets elevated from the practice squad, though if Achane is healthy he'd figure to work, at best, in a reserve No. 3 capacity behind Ollie Gordon.
