The Miami Dolphins acquired running back Jeff Wilson, Jr., from the San Francisco 49ers on Tuesday, sending a fifth-round daft pick back in the deal. The move comes after Miami traded for linebacker Bradley Chubb from the Denver Broncos earlier in the day, a move that included running back Chase Edmonds moving from South Florida to Colorado. Wilson immediately plugs into the depth chart behind starter Raheem Mostert.
The move also reunites Wilson with Mostert and Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel, both of whom moved to Miami in the offseason. Wilson will now compete with Myles Gaskin and Salvon Ahmed to be the primary backup behind Mostert, who has 101 rushing attempts this season for 452 yards and a touchdown.
