Sitting out in Week 5
Wilson (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Sunday in New England.
With Raheem Mostert (chest) available for the first time since Week 1, Wilson will don street clothes while De'Von Achane, Mostert and rookie fourth-rounder Jaylen Wright man the Dolphins backfield Week 5. Miami has a Week 6 bye, so it remains to be seen if this will be Wilson's reality moving forward.

Stats not availableTurns in full practice
Wilson (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Wilson was limited to just two total snaps in Monday's 31-12 loss to the Titans after hurting his knee in pregame warmups, but his ability to put in a limited practice Wednesday followed by a full session Thursday clears up any concern about his availability heading into Sunday's game at New England. De'Von Achane remains the top option in the Miami backfield, and Wilson could soon see his modest backup role disappear if Raheem Mostert (chest) is able to put an end to his three-game absence this weekend.
Limited in practice
Wilson (knee) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Wilson took two snaps on offense and none on special teams after injuring his knee during pregame warmups for Monday's eventual loss to the Titans. His ability to play at all and then take part in a walk-through practice a few days later suggests it's a minor injury, but his chances for Week 5 involvement at New England also depend on Raheem Mostert's recovery from a chest injury. Mostert missed the past three games and also was listed as a limited participant on the Wednesday practice report.
Questionable Monday with knee injury
Wilson suffered a knee injury during pregame warmups and now is questionable to play Monday against the Titans.
With Raheem Mostert (chest) sidelined for a third consecutive contest, Wilson and Jaylen Wright were the candidates to handle RB reps behind starter De'Von Achane. Having said that, Wilson now may not get a chance to contribute Week 4. Still, he's been contained to 10 touches for 52 yards from scrimmage in three games this season, meaning he doesn't hold much sway for fantasy purposes.
Quiet in loss to Seattle
Wilson rushed three times for 14 yards during Miami's 24-3 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.
Wilson handled a similar volume to Jaylen Wright (two carries for 17 yards) behind De'Von Achane with Raheem Mostert (chest) being sidelined again, but he didn't see a gamescript capable of allowing Miami to lean much on the running game. The Dolphins' offense struggled mightily with Skylar Thompson (ribs) and Tim Boyle under center versus an aggressive Seattle defense. Wilson and the Dolphins' offense will look to improve Week 4 against the Titans on Monday Night Football.
Cleared to face Seattle
Wilson (oblique) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Seahawks and is expected to play.
With Raheem Mostert (chest) listed as doubtful, Wilson should again assume RB2 duties behind workhorse De'Von Achane. In the Week 2 loss to the Bills, Wilson played just 11 snaps to Achane's 47, finishing with two catches for 12 yards and zero rushing attempts. Rookie Jaylen Wright played 18 snaps mostly in garbage time, and he's likely to serve as Miami's RB3 Sunday.
Logs full practice Thursday
Wilson (oblique) practiced fully Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Wilson was ruled out late in last Thursday's loss to the Bills with an oblique injury, but after a limited session to begin Week 3 prep Wednesday, he was able to handle every rep one day later. Fellow running back Raheem Mostert's (chest) reps again were capped Thursday, though, so there remains a question mark in the Dolphins backfield behind No. 1 option De'Von Achane. If Mostert is inhibited or even out Sunday at Seattle, Wilson would be the top candidate to fill in behind Achane.
Limited practice Wednesday
Wilson (oblique) was limited at practice Wednesday, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Also limited Wednesday was Raheem Mostert (chest), who missed the Dolphins' Week 2 loss to the Bills. The duo's status is thus worth tracking in advance of Sunday's game against the Seahawks, with Wilson's chances of making a mark this weekend largely tied to Mostert's availability.
Oblique injury not severe
Wilson (oblique) has avoided a major injury after being forced off the field late in Thursday's 31-10 loss to the Bills, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Wilson avoiding a major injury is one bright spot for Miami's offense, which is treading uncertain waters following the placement of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa into the concussion protocol. The team could have to rely on Skylar Thompson under center Week 3 versus the Seahawks, by which time Raheem Mostert (chest) might be a candidate to retake the field. Wilson didn't log a carry before being ruled out Thursday versus Buffalo, though he did secure both of his targets for 12 yards.
