Dolphins send rookie Jay Ajayi to I.R./return

Miami Dolphins running back Jay Ajayi has been placed on injured reserve-designated for return.

What It Means:

The I.R./return list renders players ineligible for the first eight games of the season. Ajayi cracked multiple ribs in Miami's preseason finale and won't be eligible to return until Week 10, because the Dolphins have a Week 5 bye. The Dolphins will open the season with Damien Williams and LaMichael James behind Lamar Miller.

The Dolphins ranked seventh in our schedule-adjusted Rushing Net Expected Points metric last season. Ajayi is not currently a fantasy asset.
