TheMiami Dolphinswill be without rookie receiver Caleb Douglasfor the second straight week but running back Jaylen Wrightis healthy and will play Sunday at the Minnesota Vikings.
Douglas continues to heal from a sprained ankle suffered during the Week 2 loss at San Francisco. Wright, who missed last week's loss to Kansas City with a stinger and foot injury, was a full participant at Thursday's practice. He and Ollie Gordon II will be counted on to replace De'Von Achane, who is out for the season with a torn ACL.
The Dolphins (0-3) play at the Minnesota Vikings (3-0) on Oct. 4.

Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley said on Friday that Wright is "ready to go."
To help fill the void of Achane's absence, Hafley said either Carlos
Washington Jr. or Jacquez Hunter will be activated from the practice squad.
"Carlos and Hunter have had good weeks," he said of the running backs. "They feel an opportunity is close and they are doing everything in their power to seize that. I know the competition has brought out the best in them."
Dolphins center Aaron Brewer (hand) was limited at practice on Thursday. Hafley said he'll play against the Vikings.
Meanwhile, Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson has not practiced all week after suffering a sprained ankle early in the win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last Sunday.
