MIAMI GARDENS — Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright was back at the team’s Thursday practice, going through drills for the first time in the three weeks since his knee injury.

Wright was seen, during a brief media viewing portion of practice, participating in team stretch and then going through cutting drills with a football in his arm. He was wearing a compression sleeve on his right leg.

Coach Mike McDaniel previously said Wright had a minor procedure done on the knee
