Dolphins' Raheem Mostert expected to undergo thumb surgery Monday
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert is expected to undergo thumb surgery on Monday.
What It Means:
Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Mostert is dealing with a significant break in his thumb after exiting the regular-season finale against the New York Jets. Despite the description, McDaniel indicated that Mostert could still suit up for Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Jeff Wilson will likely play a three-down role in the backfield if Mostert is unavailable.
Mostert led the Dolphins with 181 carries for 891 yards and 3 touchdowns in 16 games this season. Among the 33 running backs with at least 150 attempts, Mostert is 13th in Rushing Net Expected Points per carry (0.06). Wilson ranks 10th (0.07) in that same group, so the Dolphins' offense shouldn't suffer if Mostert is unavailable.
