Dolphins RB Jeff Wilson to be designated to return from IR this week

The Miami Dolphins are off to a great start to their season, especially with their potent rushing attack, as Raheem Mostert and rookie De’Von Achane have rushed for 8.1 yards per attempt and 12 touchdowns on the ground.

Now, it appears Miami is adding more depth to the room.

According to NFL agent Drew Rosenhaus, the Dolphins are set to designate running back Jeff Wilson Jr. to return from injured reserve after dealing with rib and pinky injuries throughout the preseason and into the start of the 2023 campaign.

Miami will have 21 days to activate him, or he’ll be forced to miss the remainder of the season.

It’s unclear exactly how Wilson will fit in this group, but he’ll probably slot in above Salvon Ahmed and Chris Brooks on the depth chart.

UPDATE: Head coach Mike McDaniel said there’s no decision yet on whether or not Wilson will begin practicing this week.
