Odell Beckham Jr. - Not practicing this week Coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that Beckham (undisclosed) isn't likely to practice this week, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Beckham has already missed two preseason games and more than three weeks of practice with an unspecified injury. It's fair to wonder whether he'll be ready for Week 1, and his role might be quite limited even if he is.

Jaylen Wright - Held out due to injury Wright was held out of Saturday's preseason contest against the Commanders due to an unspecified injury, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Impact It's not clear what injury Wright picked up during practice this week, but head coach Mike McDaniel didn't seem concerned about the severity in any facet. It seems likely the rookie running back will return to practice in short order and build upon what was an excellent preseason opener, in which the 2024 third-round pick ran for 55 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries.

Jonnu Smith - Four catches in preseason win Smith brought in all four targets for 23 yards in the Dolphins' 13-6 preseason win over the Commanders on Saturday night.
Impact The veteran offseason addition was on the receiving end of Tua Tagovailoa's second target of the night and finished second in reception for Miami overall. Smith should have a good chance of developing into the primary pass-catching option at tight end over Durham Smythe as the season unfolds, and Saturday's performance offered a glimpse of what he'll be able to bring as a complementary option to Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle (undisclosed) and Odell Beckham (undisclosed).

De'Von Achane - Efficient showing in preseason win Achane rushed twice for 10 yards and secured two of three targets for 34 yards in the Dolphins' 13-6 preseason win over the Commanders on Saturday night.
Impact The second-year back took his first carry with 7:29 remaining in the first quarter and played a total of three possessions. Achane recorded chunk gains of seven yards on the ground and eight and 26 yards through the air, flashing the signature explosiveness that made him a rookie sensation in 2023. Achane already appears in regular-season form, but it remains to be seen if he'll have a chance to garner a few more touches in Friday night's road preseason finale against the Buccaneers.

NFL preseason top moments: Patrick Mahomes goes behind-the-back, Caleb Williams shines
Week 2 of the NFL preseason resumed on Saturday. Here are some of the highlights from the 13-game slate.AUGUST 18
Raheem Mostert - Five touches in preseason win Mostert rushed five times for seven yards in the Dolphins' 13-6 preseason win over the Commanders on Saturday night.
Impact After the Dolphins opened with back-to-back passing plays on their first drive, Mostert took three straight carries and netted six yards. The veteran back would continue alternating with De'Von Achane for the remainder of the opening possession but only gained one additional yard on his final two totes, and Saturday's cameo appearance could well be the extent of Mostert's preseason action given his age and the fact there's only one exhibition remaining.

Tua Tagovailoa plays 1 series and throws TD pass in Dolphins' 13-6 win over Commanders
Tua Tagovailoa went 5 for 5 with a touchdown pass in his only series to help the Miami Dolphins to a 13-6 preseason victory over the Washington CommandersAUGUST 18 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Tua Tagovailoa - Sharp in Saturday's cameo Tagovailoa completed all five passes for 51 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in the Dolphins' 13-6 preseason win over the Commanders on Saturday night.
Impact Tagovailoa drew the start as planned, and even though he was operating without Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and Odell Beckham (undisclosed), the fifth-year signal-caller still put together a flawless drive from his perspective. The 2020 first-round pick capped off the 11-play, 61-yard march with a 13-yard touchdown pass to River Cracraft, putting an early and successful end to his night. It remains to be seen if Saturday's brief appearance will represent the extent of Tagovailoa's preseason action, but he'll have one more chance to take the field before Week 1 in Friday night's road exhibition finale against the Buccaneers.

Jeff Wilson Jr. - Not in uniform Saturday Wilson, Ahmed and Jaylen Wright aren't in uniform for Saturday's preseason game against Washington, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Impact The Dolphins are expected to play a lot of their key players, possibly including RBs Raheem Mostert and De'Von Achane. However, it'll be surprising if either of those guys plays beyond the first few drives, which means Chris Brooks should get a ton of playing time if Wilson, Ahmed and Wright are all held out.

Tyreek Hill - Not present for warmups Hill and Jaylen Waddle (undisclosed) aren't on the field for pregame warmups ahead of Saturday's preseason game against Washington, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel...
Impact Coach Mike McDaniel suggested most starters would play, but Waddle is banged up and Hill a sensible exception. Few non-QBs are more important to their teams, and no player was targeted on a higher percentage of his routes in 2022 or 2023.

Jaylen Wright - Not in uniform Wright isn't in uniform ahead of Saturday's preseason game against Washington, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Wright took 10 carries for 55 yards and a TD in Miami's preseason-opening win over the Falcons last Friday, breaking off a couple runs that allowed him to flash his impressive speed. With no injury reported, the Dolphins may just be holding the rookie out to get other players more snaps.

Jaelan Phillips - Still questionable for Saturday It's unclear whether Phillips (achilles) will play in Saturday's preseason game against Washington, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN reports.
Impact Phillips is close to a return after tearing his achilles last November, but whether that return is this Saturday or in the near future remains unknown. The 6-foot-5 linebacker looks to be preparing for a Week 1 appearance, but he may need to take the preseason off to do so.

Raheem Mostert - Likely to play vs. Washington Coach Mike McDaniel said Thursday that "guys who are starters" will handle "some action" during Saturday's preseason game versus the Commanders, Chris Perkins of the South Florida...
Impact McDaniel didn't clarify which specific starters will play in Miami's second preseason game, or how many snaps they'll handle, but it sounds like Mostert will take the field with the first-team offense alongside backfield mate De'Von Achane. Mostert and Achane were one of the NFL's most productive RB tandems last season and are now joined by rookie fourth-round pick Jaylen Wright, who David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports Mostert has been continually impressed by this offseason. Familiar faces Jeff Wilson and Salvon Ahmed have also returned as depth options.

Tua Tagovailoa - Starters to play vs. Washington Coach Mike McDaniel said "guys who are starters" will suit up for "some action" during Saturday's preseason game against the Commanders, though he didn't specify Tagovailoa by name...
Impact Tagovailoa didn't suit up for the Dolphins' preseason opener last week, but it sounds like he and the first-team offense could get some reps in versus Washington. McDaniel said further decisions on which starters will play Saturday, and for how long, will be made Thursday afternoon. If Miami follows a similar plan to last offseason, Tagovailoa will play a few series Saturday and also suit up for the team's exhibition finale versus the Buccaneers on Aug. 23.
