SALVON AHMED NEWS

Tops century mark in return Ahmed carried the ball 23 times for 122 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 22-12 win over the Patriots. He also caught one of three targets for five yards.

Impact Ahmed hugely rewarded fantasy managers who trusted him in their playoff matchups, as he returned to a workhorse role with Myles Gaskin (illness) still on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Despite coming off a three-game absence due to a lingering shoulder injury, Ahmed managed an impressive 5.3 yards per carry, becoming the first Dolphins' running back to record a 100-yard rushing day in two years, as Tom Pelissero of NFL Network notes. If Gaskin remains sidelined against the Raiders on Dec. 26, Ahmed will once again be poised to serve as the Dolphins' top back.

Chance to head backfield in return ESPN's Cameron Wolfe indicates that Ahmed (shoulder), who is back after after missing three games with a shoulder injury, is in line to lead Miami's backfield Sunday against the Pa...

Impact He re-enters the mix with Myles Gaskin on the reserve/COVID-19 list and the Dolphins' pass-catching corps without key cogs DeVante Parker (hamstring), Mike Gesicki (shoulder) and Jakeem Grant (hamstring). In that context, the Dolphins will need all they can get from Ahmed, Matt Breida and DeAndre Washington, while Patrick Laird is on hand in a reserve role.

Back in the mix Sunday Ahmed (shoulder) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Impact Ahmed is back, but it remains to be seen how heavily he'll be used in his return, even with Myles Gaskin (illness) still on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Also on hand are DeAndre Washington, Matt Breida and Patrick Laird, which could lead to a committee/hot hand backfield approach in Week 15.

Deemed questionable for Sunday The Dolphins list Ahmed (shoulder) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact After the shoulder injury sidelined him for the past three games, Ahmed turned in a trio of limited practices this week en route to receiving the questionable designation. Prior to getting hurt, Ahmed had been working as Miami's lead back, but his role for Week 15 is unsettled for now, given his uncertain status for the contest in addition to the fact that he's been sidelined for much of the past month. Myles Gaskin (illness) isn't on track to return from the reserve/COVID-19 list this week, so the Dolphins would be forced to rely on the trio of DeAndre Washington, Matt Breida and Patrick Laird if Ahmed is forced to miss a fourth straight game.

Repeats limited showing in practice Ahmed (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant in Thursday's walk-through practice.

Impact Ahmed has missed three consecutive games with a shoulder injury, but he's demonstrated some good progress this week by practicing in a limited fashion Wednesday and Thursday. He'll likely need to upgrade to full activity Friday to avoid carrying a designation into Sunday's game against the Patriots, but even another limited showing wouldn't close the door on him suiting up this weekend. If cleared to play, Ahmed would likely be contending with DeAndre Washington, Matt Breida and Patrick Laird for backfield reps, as Myles Gaskin (illness) isn't expected to be activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list ahead of Sunday's contest.

DECEMBER 17, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Starts week limited Ahmed (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Ahmed wore a red non-contact jersey at practice Wednesday, per Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com, so it still looks like he has a few hurdles to surpass before gaining full clearance. Matt Breida (illness) has managed to return from the reserve/COVID-19 list, so it could be difficult to determine how Miami's backfield reps will be divvied out during Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Missing another contest Ahmed (shoulder) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Ahmed will be forced to miss his third straight game due to a lingering shoulder injury. DeAndre Washington (hamstring) could thus be primed to serve as the No. 2 option behind Myles Gaskin (knee), assuming that both backs gain clearance to face the Chiefs. The Dolphins also have Patrick Laird and Lynn Bowden around as depth options.

Not seen at practice Friday Ahmed (shoulder) wasn't spotted during Friday's practice, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.

Impact Ahmed appears to be a non-participant for the third straight practice and is likely to be sidelined for the third consecutive game due to the shoulder injury. Myles Gaskin (knee) and DeAndre Washington (hamstring) are also banged up but have been able to practice with limitations, putting the pair on track to lead the backfield Sunday against the Chiefs.

Misses another practice Ahmed (shoulder) didn't practice Thursday, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Ahmed appears to be trending toward sitting out a third straight game due to his lingering shoulder injury. With Myles Gaskin (knee) only practicing in a limited capacity, another absence by Ahmed would be a notable blow to the Dolphins' backfield depth. He'll have one more chance to take the practice field prior to Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

DECEMBER 10, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Sits out Wednesday's practice Ahmed (shoulder) wasn't spotted on the field during the portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Ahmed has missed consecutive games due to his shoulder injury, and his absence from practice to begin Week 14 isn't a positive early sign for his chances of returning to action Sunday against the Chiefs. Matt Breida (illness) and Malcolm Perry (chest) are also missing practice to start the week.

Not suiting up Week 13 Ahmed (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Impact Ahmed will be one three Dolphins running backs sidelined for Week 13 with DeAndre Washington (hamstring) also inactive and with Matt Brieda (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Fortunately for Miami, it will get some reinforcement at the position in the form of Myles Gaskin (knee), who was activated from injured reserve after practicing for the second week in a row. Considering Gaskin had handled a three-down role for Miami prior to suffering his injury Week 8, he'll likely operate as the team's top option moving forward, leaving fewer opportunities available for Ahmed once he overcomes his own health concern.

DECEMBER 6, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful to face Bengals Coach Brian Flores said Friday that Ahmed (shoulder) will be listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Ahmed looks on track to miss his second straight game due to a lingering shoulder injury, though he hasn't yet been ruled out. With DeAndre Washington (hamstring) also doubtful and Matt Breida (illness) dealing with an ailment, Patrick Laird and Lynn Bowden are currently the Dolphins' only healthy running backs. However, Myles Gaskin (knee) could come off IR in time for Sunday's contest against the Bengals.

DECEMBER 4, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Not spotted at practice Ahmed (shoulder) wasn't present at the portion of Friday's practice open to the media, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Ahmed began the week with back-to-back limited practices, so he would be taking a notable step in the wrong direction if he ends up missing Friday's session entirely. The Dolphins' final practice report of the week will be released later Friday and will shed more light on Ahmed's situation heading into Sunday's game against the Bengals.

DECEMBER 4, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Another limited practice Ahmed (shoulder) remained limited at practice Thursday, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Meanwhile, fellow running back DeAndre Washington (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday, with added clarity on the duo's Week 13 status set to arrive upon the release of Friday's injury report. Another moving part in Miami's backfield is the status of Myles Gaskin (knee), who the club could opt to activate from injured reserve in advance of Sunday's game against the Bengals.

DECEMBER 3, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Manages limited practice Ahmed (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Ahmed wasn't able to practice leading up to last weekend's win over the Jets, so it's encouraging to see him back on the field in some capacity. The Dolphins could also activate Myles Gaskin (knee) from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals, so this backfield may not have much clarity until later in the week. For what it's worth, coach Brian Flores was non-committal Wednesday when asked about Ahmed's chances of suiting up Week 13, according to Josh Tolentino of The Athletic.
