Dolphins Jay Ajayi out with hamstring injury

Aug 09, 2015

Dolphins running back Jay Ajayi, a highly hyped fifth-round draft pick, is out with a hamstring injury.

It wasn’t immediately known who long he will be out.

Ajayi, who is competing for the No. 2 running back job, had just one carry for 12 yards in Friday’s scrimmage.

He was expected to emerge as the primary backup to Lamar Miller, but he’s been in a hotly-contested battle with Damien Williams and LaMichael James.

While it wouldn’t be a surprise for the Dolphins to keep four backs, VP Mike Tannenbaum said last week that Ajayi needs to work on his pass protection if he wants to be active on Sundays.

Fantasy Impact:

It may open the door for LaMichael James or Damien Williams who are both having good camps for the Dolphins.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
