Dolphins Work Out Veteran RB Jamaal Williams After Mattison Injury

The Miami Dolphins are working out veteran running back Jamaal Williams following a season-ending neck injury to Alexander Mattison in the preseason. Williams, who spent the last two seasons with the New Orleans Saints and previously had a breakout year with the Detroit Lions in 2022, could provide the Dolphins with much-needed short-yardage and veteran depth in the backfield. Despite a limited role last season with the Saints, Williams has a history of productivity including leading the league in rushing touchdowns in 2022. The Dolphins currently rely on De’Von Achane and Jaylen Wright, but both have struggled in short-yardage situations, highlighting the team's need for a more experienced runner. Miami has the cap space to potentially sign Williams, who also recently worked out for the Chicago Bears. The team is expected to evaluate Williams' fit as they look to bolster their rushing attack ahead of the regular season.
