The Miami Dolphins have unexpectedly placed running back Jeff Wilson Jr. on injured reserve, indicating that he will miss at least the first four games of the season. Wilson had not shown any signs of a significant injury prior to this move, with his only previous absence being due to a minor left-leg injury in early August. With Wilson sidelined, Raheem Mostert and Chris Brooks are the only healthy running backs on the roster, with Mostert likely taking the lead in the backfield for Week 1 against the Chargers. De'Von Achane and Salvon Ahmed, who are dealing with shoulder and concussion issues respectively, have a chance to be ready for Week 1. Wilson remains a viable stash option, but he is now more of an early-season waiver target rather than a draft target.
