Raheem Mostert Totals 98 Yards In Return
2 months agoMiami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert rushed 19 times for 80 yards in Sunday's 15-10 win over the New England Patriots. He added two receptions and 18 yards on two targets. It was the 32-year-old's first action since Week 1, and he appeared to be over the chest injury that kept him out of the prior three contests. It's unclear whether or not the plan was to give Mostert 20+ touches, but after running back De'Von Achane (concussion) was forced from the outing in the first quarter, he split the workload with rookie RB Jaylen Wright. Both backs were productive for the Dolphins, but Mostert was out-rushed by the rookie despite racking up six more carries. With Miami heading into their Week 6 bye, Achane will be afforded a larger window to clear the NFL's concussion protocol and will likely be ready to suit up when the team lines up against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 7. Presumably, the former undrafted free agent will split most of the backfield touches with the Texas A&M product in that one. However, Wright may have worked himself into the backfield rotation with his efficient outing.
