Touchdown in defeat Wilson rushed 10 times for 23 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Bills in the wild-card round. He also caught one of four targets for 13 yards.
Impact Wilson started with Raheem Mostert (thumb) sidelined and made it a one-score game with his one-yard touchdown during the fourth quarter. Although it otherwise wasn't a very productive performance from Wilson, he made a good impact upon joining the Dolphins midway through this season, rushing 84 times for 392 yards (4.7 per carry) and three touchdowns in eight games. He also caught 12 of 24 targets for 94 yards and another score. With Wilson an unrestricted free agent this offseason, it'll be interesting to see whether his familiarity with Miami head coach Mike McDaniel will result in the tailback returning to the team.

Set for lead role in playoff opener Wilson is set to lead Miami's backfield in Sunday's playoff game against the Bills, as Adam Beasley of Pro Football Network reports that Raheem Mostert (thumb) has been ruled out.
Impact Wilson should see the bulk of carries in Mostert's absence, and Miami will likely try to lean on its running game with third-string quarterback Skylar Thompson under center. Salvon Ahmed will back up Wilson, who mustered 52 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 14 touches against the Texans when Mostert sat out in Week 12.

Practices fully Thursday Wilson (illness) returned to a full practice Thursday, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Wilson was listed as a limited participant at practice Wednesday due to an illness, but the running back's return to a full session one day later puts him on track to be available for Sunday's wild-card round matchup against the Bills. Meanwhile, Raheem Mostert (thumb) missed his second straight practice Thursday, and if he's out this weekend, Wilson would likely be in store for an expanded workload in Miami's backfield versus Buffalo.

Logs limited practice Wilson was a limited participant at practice Wednesday due to an illness, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Wilson now has two more chances to return to a full session prior to Sunday's wild-card game against the Bills. As long as he's able to suit up this weekend, Wilson could be in line for a hefty workload, given that fellow running back Raheem Mostert is dealing with a thumb injury that clouds his status for the postseason opener.

Productive in Week 18 win Wilson rushed 16 times for 72 yards and secured both targets for two yards in the Dolphins' 11-6 win over the Jets on Sunday.
Impact Wilson and backfield mate Raheem Mostert consistently made inroads against a Jets run defense that had its share of trouble on the road most of the season. Wilson's long gain was a relatively modest 16 yards, so he consistently garnered productive gains in support of rookie starting quarterback Skylar Thompson. Wilson should once again have a key role in next weekend's wild-card road matchup against the Bills as Miami undoubtedly endeavors to keep the ball out of the hands of Josh Allen and his explosive skill-position weapons as much as possible.

Inefficient in narrow loss Wilson logged 15 carries for 45 yards and secured three of seven targets for 31 yards during Sunday's 23-21 loss to New England.
Impact Wilson was less effective than Raheem Mostert through the air, but he saw six more opportunities on the ground and just two less targets in Miami's continued backfield timeshare. His usage as a receiver was influenced by the Dolphins' quarterback situation, and coach Mike McDaniel could deploy a similar plan in Week 18 versus the Jets as both Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) and Teddy Bridgewater (finger) look to be in danger of missing the contest, leaving seventh-round rookie Skylar Thompson under center.

Gets into end zone on Christmas Wilson carried the ball nine times for 37 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Packers. He also caught one of two targets for three yards.
Impact His one-yard TD plunge early in the second quarter gave Miami a 17-10 lead, but the Dolphins' offense imploded and committed four turnovers after that. Wilson has gotten into the end zone in four of his last six games but hasn't reached 40 rushing yards in four straight, giving him limited fantasy appeal heading into a Week 17 clash with the Patriots.

Suits up Sunday Wilson (hip) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Packers.
Impact Wilson, who was able to practice this past week in a limited fashion, is thus in line to rejoin the mix after a one-game absence. In his return to action Sunday, Wilson will look to reclaim a role in a Miami backfield that was led effectively by Raheem Mostert (17 carries for 136 yards) in the team's Week 15 loss to the Bills, a potential timeshare context that makes Wilson a speculative fantasy lineup option versus Green Bay.

Questionable for Sunday Wilson (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers after practicing in a limited fashion this week, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Impact That Wilson was able to practice all week, albeit in a limited fashion, suggests the running back has a chance to return to action Sunday after being inactive this past Saturday against the Bills. If that happens, Wilson would be in line to reclaim his role in a Miami backfield that was led effectively by Raheem Mostert (17 carries for 136 yards) in Week 15, a context that would make Wilson a risky fantasy option versus Green Bay.

Another limited practice Wilson (hip) remained limited at practice Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, Wilson indicated that his hip is feeling better, but the running back isn't quite ready to commit to playing Sunday against the Packers. Friday's final injury report will add context with regard to Wilson's Week 16 status, but if he's able to return to action this weekend, he'd rejoin a backfield that was led capably by Raheem Mostert (17 carries for 136 yards) in Wilson's absence this past Saturday against the Bills.
DECEMBER 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Limited in practice Wilson (hip) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that Wilson nearly was able to play in this past Saturday's loss to the Bills -- a sign that the running back is expected back for this Sunday's matchup with the Packers. A return to full practice Thursday or Friday would confirm that expectation and allow Wilson to resume his role splitting backfield snaps with Raheem Mostert, who had season highs for rushing yards (136), scrimmage yards (156) and snap share (76 percent) in the Week 15 loss.

Impact Wilson missed his first game of the season in Week 15 due to a hip injury he suffered against the Chargers in Week 14, but it appears the running back will have a good chance to suit up against the Packers on Christmas Day. However, Miami's injury report during Week 16 prep figures to provide further clarity on Wilson's availability for that contest.
