I dont think he has the vision to be a viable RB in the league. If anything were to happen to Achane, the former Doak award winner Ollie Gordon would run away with the job in MIA

Officially not touching ANY Miami RB, the team is going to be a dumpster fire... and if Wright doesn't do anything this season; he's droppable

You don't want Ollie Gordon in round 13 or 14?

Wright is week to week says McDaniel
Per CBS Sports "Wright walked off the practice field slowly Thursday and then was spotted with a sleeve on his right leg and without crutches ahead of Saturday's exhibition."
No crutches is a very good sign. He might miss week 1, certainly up in the air right now
-I would be buying OG2 shares the rest of this weekend, he's like a double digit pick, if you cut him 2-3 weeks later when Achane and Wright return no big deal
But if OG2 seizes the opp and pushes Wright to the bench and can help Achane by carrying some of the load, you might have a little more than you initially thought
I would not sleep on Gordon, he's looked better than anyone thus far and could be a factor early for Miami which has a relatively soft opening schedule
@Colts, NE, then @Buf before hosting the Jets and @Carolina
4 of those 5 games are winnable for the Phins
The reason I think he's an IR candidate is after saying he was week to week he added there are things they are looking at "procedurally". The only thing that can mean to me is they are examining an injury designation for him that would keep him out the first 4 weeks.
Looked at drafts last night were I mainly play and Gordon has moved up to round 12 range, which is actually a little higher then Wright was going when it looked like he had a clear runway to the RB2 job. I think he's going to inch up higher, with a multiple round vault if any negative news on Achane playing week one comes about.

Jeff Wilson is probably a thorn in the Ollie movement.

As an Ollie owner this is likely true and makes me sad. Having said that Ollie has looked really good so lets hope he takes the job and runs with it.

Possibly but we’re talking about the same Jeff Wilson who did nothing in 2023 and 2024 with the Dolphins, then was released a few weeks ago by his other old team the Niners despite their own depth issues.
I think Wilson becomes a factor only if Gordon really struggles.
Sounds like a knee scope and could return by the end of September.
But, Ollie looks better, and of course Achane is much better. Before the injury, the local writers were saying Jaylen doesn't have good vision. And Jeff Wilson would also get carries if Achane is out, cause he plays special team. Droppable, but Wright is still only 22. Maybe he eventually returns to the form he displayed in the NE game last year when Achane was out. He's a Feldman athletic freak.

unfortunately I think so, RBs that don't really impress by their 2nd pre-season with low draft capital usually don't do much.

I would agree.

And coming off injury. Drop time for those holding.
