The Miami Dolphins announced Saturday the elevation of practice squad running back Duke Johnson for Sunday’s game against the New York Jets. Johnson will be part of the active roster for the game, joining Myles Gaskin, Salvon Ahmed, and Patrick Laird as rushers available for the game. Malcolm Brown remains on injured reserve.
Gaskin, Ahemd, and Laird were not listed on the injury report for the week, meaning the Dolphins could either be planning to go into Sunday’s game with four active running backs, or the game plan has one of the top three options headed to the inactive list.
