With their running back room decimated by COVID-19, the Miami Dolphins worked out a number of players at the position on Monday.
According to the league transaction wire, Miami worked out Lamar Miller, who played with the Dolphins from 2012-15, Bennie LeMay, Jordan Scarlett and Dexter Williams. Williams reportedly signed with the team’s practice squad.
The former Notre Dame star joins Duke Johnson and Gerrid Doaks as backs on the Miami taxi squad.

Dolphins aren’t signing Lamar Miller at this time. They did sign former Packers RB Dexter Williams to their practice squad and elevated Duke Johnson to their active roster as a covid-19 replacement.

Williams was a sixth-round pick of the Green Bay Packers in 2019 and has spent time on the New York Giants and Cleveland Browns’ practice squads this season. He has logged seven carries for 19 yards so far in his NFL career.
While there is a chance that one or more running backs will have to be called up this weekend, Miami is still hoping that Myles Gaskin, Salvon Ahmed and Phillip Lindsay, who tested positive for COVID-19 and have been placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, are able to test out of missing Sunday’s game with the New York Jets.
The Dolphins started 1-7 but have won five in a row heading into Week 15.
