NFL Rumors: Dolphins Lead RB Suffered Broken Thumb, Doubtful For Playoffs
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert reportedly suffered a broken thumb during his club's 11-6 victory over the New York Jets on Sunday in Week 18 and is doubtful to suit up in Week 1 of the playoffs against the Buffalo Bills, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Sources: #Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert suffered a broken thumb in the playoff-clinching win over the #Jets. He gained 71 yards on 11 carries and was explosive. Now, status is in doubt against the #Bills.

Mostert, who rushed for an impressive 71 yards with 11 carries on Sunday, was a vital part of Miami's run game this season, especially due to the recent loss of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion). Now with his availability in severe doubt, the Dolphins will have to look to lean on their rushing depth of Jeff Wilson Jr,. and Ahmed Salvon to make up for the void that Mostert leaves behind.
The wounded Dolphins are set to faceoff against their division rival on Sunday Jan. 15, at 1:00 p.m. EST.
