The Dolphins’ injury report remained the same Tuesday as it was estimated Monday. That’s not good news for the running back position.
Running backs De’Von Achane (ankle) and Raheem Mostert (chest) did not participate. Wide receiver Malik Washington (quad) also was a non-participant.
As the story pointed out, neither Achane nor Mostert left the game with their injuries, though the Dolphins gave Jeff Wilson Jr. five rushing attempts in the fourth quarter with Achane getting four and Mostert two. Achane played 37 total snaps and Mostert 31 in the victory over the Jaguars. On a short week, this will need to be monitored leading up to Thursday night.
Marvin Harrison was missing for much of Sunday’s opener against the Bills, although he appeared to be open near the end zone on a play when Kyler Murray threw elsewhere near the end of the 34-28 loss.
On Tuesday, offensive coordinator Drew Petzing said “the plan” is to get the ball in Harrison’s hands more often.
We may see an over-correction in Week 2 where Harrison gets fed the ball early and often in an effort to get him going, but that remains to be seen. Harrison was targeted with three passes and caught one pass for three yards in Week 1.
Atlanta Falcons receiver Drake London darted over the middle, his arms away from his body, his hands corralling a seven-yard reception from quarterback Kirk Cousins early in the second quarter in Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
The play marked London's third target and second catch of the game. Over the final 42 minutes Sunday, it proved to be his last of each.
"We didn't get the ball to Drake enough," Falcons coach Raheem Morris said after the game.
London was shadowed by Steeler CB Joey Porter Jr. and QB Kirk Cousins struggles both factored into London collecting just two passes. While it doesn't help owners now, the good news is things like this can often get corrected the following week, so the hope is the Falcons design some plays early on for London which hopefully gets the entire offense going.
