Chris Brooks Could Miss Extended Time

Chris Brooks Could Miss Extended Time

Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said on Monday that running back Chris Brooks (ankle) is week-to-week due to an ankle injury he suffered in Week 6's 42-21 win over the Carolina Panthers, per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network. In an elevated role without De'Von Achane in the lineup, Brooks took six carries for 28 yards in the blowout victory. If Brooks is indeed facing a potentially multi-week absence, expect the Dolphins to focus on getting Jeff Wilson Jr. (ribs/finger) activated from injured reserve in time for Week 7's heavyweight battle with the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football. Salvon Ahmed would likely work as the clear-cut No. 2 back behind Raheem Mostert if neither Brooks nor Wilson is able to go on Sunday.
