Why it Matters: It's uncertain if the injury is serious or not. Ollie Gordon II has taken over as the starting tailback for the Dolphins, but Wright has a chance at meaningful carries as the primary backup. If he cannot play newcomer Kaytron Allen could potentially ascend to the No. 2 role if he gets comfortable with the playbook.
