Dolphins Training Camp Primer: Running Backs

Dolphins Training Camp Primer: Running Backs highlights the Miami Dolphins’ relatively settled outlook at the position as key names compete for roles behind De’Von Achane. Achane is the established lead, coming off 1,350 rushing yards, eight rushing touchdowns, and 488 receiving yards with four receiving scores on a four-year, $64 million deal. The team acknowledged he has dealt with an injury during training camp, but head coach Jeff Hafley said it should not be a concern. Jaylen Wright added 288 rushing yards and two touchdowns plus 44 receiving yards in 2025, though he had two fumbles. Ollie Gordon II contributed 199 rushing yards and three touchdowns, along with 32 receiving yards. Carlos Washington Jr. offers depth after appearing in one game from 2023 to 2025 with the Atlanta Falcons, and Donovan Edwards joined Miami in January after time on practice squads in 2025. Anthony Hankerson, an undrafted free agent for 2026, is competing for a potential practice squad spot.
