Jay Ajayi to lead Dolphins' Week 5 backfield if Arian Foster (groin) can't go
The Miami Dolphins plan to abandon their four-headed running back committee, head coach Adam Gase said.
What It Means:
"Going forward, hopefully we can target a couple of guys a game or one guy a game and let that guy get in the flow of it," said Gase. He also mentioned that using it the past two weeks was "some bad coaching by me." With Arian Foster (groin, hamstring) still sidelined at Tuesday's practice, it sounds like could Jay Ajayi lead the backfield against the Titans, with rookie Kenyan Drake mixing in behind him. Ajayi is averaging 4.2 yards per carry, while Drake is at 4.9. The Dolphins will remain a pass-happy team, whoever leads the charge.
Foster is not yet declared out, and our models project him for 44 rushing yards and 0.31 touchdowns on 12 carries, along with 16 receiving yards on two receptions if healthy.
