Mostert rushed 19 times for 80 yards and brought in both targets for 18 yards in the Dolphins' 15-10 win over the Patriots on Sunday. Mostert, making his return from a three-game absence due to a chest injury, wasn't expected to walk back into a full workload, but De'Von Achane's first-half exit due to a concussion scuttled those plans. The veteran responded in impressive fashion, consistently grinding out solid gains while splitting work with rookie Jaylen Wright, who stood out with a 13-86 line on the ground. Achane should have plenty of time to clear concussion protocol during the Week 6 bye, but Mostert should have a complementary role at minimum in a Week 7 road battle against the Colts on Sunday, Oct. 20.

Mostert rushed 19 times for 80 yards and brought in both targets for 18 yards in the Dolphins' 15-10 win over the Patriots on Sunday. Mostert, making his return from a three-game absence due to a chest injury, wasn't expected to walk back into a full workload, but De'Von Achane's first-half exit due to a concussion scuttled those plans. The veteran responded in impressive fashion, consistently grinding out solid gains while splitting work with rookie Jaylen Wright, who stood out with a 13-86 line on the ground. Achane should have plenty of time to clear concussion protocol during the Week 6 bye, but Mostert should have a complementary role at minimum in a Week 7 road battle against the Colts on Sunday, Oct. 20.
Mostert (chest) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game in New England, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Mostert hasn't played since Week 1 due to a chest injury, which has sidelined him the last three contests. He was able to return to practice as of Sept. 18, but he also was listed as limited on every Dolphins injury report in the meantime until Friday, when he finally logged a full practice. Coach Mike McDaniel told Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald on Friday that the team is "going to modify how much he plays in general" if he's able to suit up Sunday. As a result, Mostert likely will be operating with a cap on his reps this weekend and perhaps until McDaniel feels he can handle a normal workload. Expect Mostert to play second fiddle to De'Vone Achane out of Miami's backfield for the time being.
Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Friday that Mostert (chest) could suit up Sunday versus New England on modified reps, depending on how much he's able to do in practice Friday, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports. Mostert has practiced in a limited capacity since his return to on-field activities Sept. 18, so it sounds like the veteran running back may need to handle a full session Friday in order to be cleared for Week 5. Even if given the green light to play in New England, though, it sounds like Mostert would remain on a snap count. McDaniel said the same for wide receiver Odell Beckham (knee), who resumed practicing Wednesday but has yet to be fully activated from the reserve/PUP list.
Mostert (chest) remained limited at practice Thursday, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports. Mostert, who has missed three straight games, continues to practice in a limited fashion as Sunday's game against the Patriots approaches. He'll presumably need to upgrade to full participation Friday in order to avoid an injury designation heading into the weekend.
Mostert (chest) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Mostert was also limited last week, but ended up inactive for Monday's loss to the Titans and has now missed three straight games. The running back has two more chances to increase his practice participation level in advance of Sunday's game at New England. If Mostert remains sidelined this weekend against the Patriots, De'Von Achane would continue to lead Miami's backfield.
Mostert (chest) is inactive for Monday night's game against the Titans. After logging three straight limited practices, Mostert -- who last played Week 1 -- was listed as questionable ahead of the contest, but he'll remain out Monday and target a potential return to action Sunday, Oct. 6 against the Patriots. In Mostert's continued absence, De'Von Achane is in line to lead Miami's Week 4 backfield, with Jeff Wilson and Jaylen Wright also available to mix in.
Mostert (chest) isn't expected to play Monday night against the Titans, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Mostert is listed as questionable for the contest, but if he is indeed unavailable versus Tennessee, De'Von Achane, Jeff Wilson and Jaylen Wright would be in line to handle Miami's Week 4 backfield duties. Official confirmation of Mostert's status will arrive when the Dolphins' inactives are posted ahead of Monday's 7:30 ET kickoff.
Mostert (chest), who is listed as questionable for Monday night's game against the Titans, "is trying" to be ready for the contest according to coach Mike McDaniel, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports. Mostert, who has missed the Dolphins' last two games, logged limited practices this past week before being deemed questionable ahead of Week 4 action. At this stage, however, his status for Monday remains uncertain, with McDaniel having noted of Mostert, "We are not going to prematurely put ourselves out there if we are going to take steps back and not protect ourselves. He wants to [play] in the worst way." If Mostert is unavailable for Monday's 7:30 ET kickoff, De'Von Achane, Jeff Wilson and Jaylen Wright would handle backfield duties against Tennessee.
Mostert (chest) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Titans, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports. Mostert was a limited participant in practice all week, so it stands to reason the veteran could make a return after missing the past two games. It's worth noting the 32-year-old had a similar practice cadence last week, but there's been a bit more optimism this go-around about his playing time status. Expect to hear more information from one of the national reporters before the primetime contest starting at 7:30 p.m. ET.
