Dolphins' backup RBs must deliver on their potential

The Miami Dolphins will rely on a committee of backup running backs after De'Von Achane suffered a season-ending knee injury, forcing the offense to adapt without its Pro Bowl playmaker. Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon II, who have shown flashes but struggled with consistency, will lead the backfield. Offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik said the team is still determining the rotation, with practice squad players Carlos Washington Jr. and Jarquez Hunter also in consideration for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. Wright missed last week's game with a foot injury but has breakaway speed, while Gordon offers better pass protection. Both players acknowledge the need to step up, as Miami's rushing attack currently averages just 3.8 yards per carry.
