Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert has been ruled out for the upcoming Thursday matchup against the Buffalo Bills due to a chest injury sustained in Week 1. Coach Mike McDaniel confirmed that Mostert will not participate, which may lead to increased roles for Jeff Wilson and rookie Jaylen Wright in the backfield. Additionally, De'Von Achane is a game-time decision due to an ankle injury. Mostert recently restructured his contract, extending his stay with the Dolphins through 2025 after a career-best season in 2023.
- Mostert's absence opens up opportunities for other running backs on the Dolphins roster.
- His contract extension indicates the Dolphins' confidence in his abilities despite the injury.
