The Miami Dolphins waived running back Carlos Washington Jr. following his absence from the Week 4 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Washington was signed to the team just two days prior and did not record any snaps during the game. With De’Von Achane on injured reserve due to an ACL tear, Ollie Gordon II is expected to take on a more prominent role at running back after a strong performance against Minnesota.
