Dolphins offensive coordinator discusses RB rotation ahead of Vikings matchup
Summary

Miami Dolphins offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik revealed that the team will utilize a running back by committee strategy this Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. With De’Von Achane sidelined due to an ACL injury, Ollie Gordon II and Jaylen Wright are expected to share carries, but the exact distribution remains uncertain. Slowik indicated that multiple backs could see playing time, suggesting that Jarquez Hunter and Carlos Washington Jr. might also be involved. Wright, who practiced fully this week, currently holds the starting position according to the team's depth chart, following Gordon's recent performance. Analysts are divided on how the snap counts will break down between Gordon and Wright in this key matchup.
