The Miami Dolphins are gearing up for their Week 15 showdown against the Houston Texans at NRG Stadium. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is set to receive a significant boost on offense with the return of running back Raheem Mostert.
Mostert has been dealing with a hip injury that caused him to miss the Dolphins’ Week 14 win against the New York Jets. However, according to Pro Football Talk, he is expected to be available for Sunday’s game against the Texans.
Despite sitting out the Jets game, Mostert has been active for most of the season. However, his touchdown production has been limited, with just two rushing touchdowns through nine games. His most recent performance came during Miami’s loss to the Green Bay Packers, where he managed only 19 rushing yards on five carries.
Mostert’s best rushing performance this season came in Week 5 against the New England Patriots, where he tallied 80 yards. The running back signed a two-year, $5.6 million deal with the Dolphins, which includes an extension through 2025.
The Dolphins have several running back options to support Tagovailoa in the running game. These include Jaylen Wright, Jeff Wilson Jr., and De’Von Achane. Achane has been a standout with four touchdowns and 600 rushing yards this season.
With Mostert’s return, the Dolphins will be looking to build on their Week 14 win against the Jets. They will face a Texans team that is struggling to find consistency this season. The game is set to be a crucial matchup for both teams as they look to make a push for the playoffs.
