The Miami Dolphins suffered a potential blow before their Monday Night Football game against the Tennessee Titans, as running back Jeff Wilson Jr. sustained a knee injury during pregame warmups and was listed as questionable.
The Dolphins were already short-handed at the running back position, with Raheem Mostert inactive for the third consecutive game due to a chest injury. The team is also without key players Terron Armstead and Kendall Fuller, who did not clear concussion protocols.
With Wilson Jr.’s status uncertain, the Dolphins were left with only Jaylen Wright and De’Von Achane available at running back. Fullback Alec Ingold may see an increased workload if Wilson Jr. is unable to play or is limited.
The Dolphins are hoping to secure their first win of the season after two consecutive losses. The Titans, meanwhile, are looking to snap a losing streak that dates back to last season.
Miami’s defense, which struggled in the fourth quarter of last week’s loss, will be crucial in containing the Titans’ offense. Wilson Jr.’s potential absence looms large, as he is a valuable asset in both the running and passing games, and his experience and pass protection skills would be missed.
