Rookie RB Jay Ajayi focused on helping Dolphins in practice

DAVIE, Fla. -- It’s been a long road back for Miami Dolphins rookie running back Jay Ajayi. The fifth-round pick suffered a rib injury in the preseason and was put on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list with the designation to return.

Ajayi was eligible to practice for the first time on Wednesday but still has to wait two more games before he can play games with his teammates. Practicing this week was a good step in the right direction for Ajayi.

“It was great. Not being out there for six weeks now, it’s been a while,” Ajayi said.
