Miami Dolphins starting running back Ollie Gordon suffered an injury during the third quarter of Sunday’s matchup against the Indianapolis Colts, forcing a concerning exit from the field. With 13:14 remaining in the third period, Gordon lost a yard on a carry and remained on the ground, prompting an immediate response from the team’s medical staff. The Dolphins trailed 21-7 at the time of the incident, and Gordon’s slow departure from the field raised immediate questions about the severity of the issue for Miami’s offensive engine.

Prior to the injury, Gordon had established a steady rhythm, accumulating 49 rushing yards on 12 carries. His departure left the Dolphins without their primary ball carrier in a critical phase of the game. Despite the setback, Miami managed to keep the offense alive, with kicker Zane Gonzalez connecting on a 53-yard field goal to put points on the board. Gordon was subsequently spotted on the sidelines engaging with teammates on the bench, suggesting he remained with the team but was no longer active in the game.
The injury to Gordon presents a significant tactical challenge for the Dolphins as they look to mount a comeback. As a second-year professional, Gordon has been a key component of Miami’s ground game, and his absence forces the coaching staff to rely on backup options or adjust their offensive scheme. Fans and analysts will be closely monitoring Gordon’s status in the coming days, as the Dolphins prepare for their next fixture and assess the long-term impact on their rushing attack.
