Miami Dolphins' Jaylen Wright Undergoes Surgery Ahead of NFL Kickoff

Jaylen Wright, the 22-year-old running back for the Miami Dolphins, underwent a minor leg surgery on Thursday night, following an accident earlier this week. Head coach Mike McDaniel confirmed the procedure's modest nature, alleviating fears about Wright’s prospects for the upcoming NFL season. While concerns about him missing Week 1 were addressed, the Dolphins have reinforced their roster by re-signing Wright and bringing in Jamycal Hasty. Wright was selected as the 120th pick in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, having previously accumulated 69 rushing yards during the last season with the New England Patriots. McDaniel, familiar with the 205-pound player from their time together at the San Francisco 49ers, is optimistic about Wright's future. Additionally, Tyreek Hill may return for the Dolphins’ September 7 match against the Indianapolis Colts, providing a glimmer of hope for fans as they navigate early season challenges.
