Cedrick Wilson Jr. Targeted Four Times Sunday

Myles Gaskin Gets Involved In Week 5

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin rushed four times for nine yards on the ground against the New York Jets in Week 5. He also hauled in three of his five targets for an additional 24 yards through the air. Gaskin was a healthy scratch from Weeks 2 to 4 and had yet to log […]

Chase Edmonds An Afterthought In Week 5

Teddy Bridgewater Ruled Out Sunday

Miami Dolphins quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (elbow, concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 5 versus the New York Jets.

Terron Armstead Questionable To Return Sunday

Miami Dolphins left tackle Terron Armstead (toe) is questionable to return against the New York Jets in Week 5. The talented lineman initially exited the contest in the first quarter.
