Dolphins’ Jaylen Wright, Ethan Bonner highlight list of inactives vs. Patriots

The Miami Dolphins will be without second-string tailback Jaylen Wright as well as a depth cornerback Ethan Bonner when they battle the New England Patriots on Sunday, per the team.

Other inactives include cornerback Storm Duck, tight end Darren Waller, wideout Tahj Washington, defensive tackle Benito Jones and quarterback Quinn Ewers, the latter of whom will serve as the emergency third quarterback. Many of the players, however, including Duck (ankle), Waller (hip) and Jones (oblique) had been ruled out Friday.

Wright (knee) and Bonner (hamstring) returned to practice this week. They were initially listed as doubtful.
