Raheem Mostert injury update: Miami Dolphins RB injured vs Dallas Cowboys

During the highly anticipated matchup between the Miami Dolphins and the Dallas Cowboys, Miami Dolphins’ running back Raheem Mostert suffered an apparent ankle injury. The injury occurred on the team’s second red-zone drive when Mostert was tackled low by Dallas safety Malik Hooker, resulting in Mostert reaching for his ankle in discomfort​​​​.

Mostert, a key figure in the Dolphins’ offense, had to leave the field after the incident. He was assisted by the medical staff and exited the field under his own power. This incident was particularly concerning given Mostert’s history of managing ongoing ankle and knee issues throughout the season​​.

Despite the initial concern, the Dolphins did not provide a specific injury update for Mostert during the game. However, he made a notable return in the first half’s final drive, catching a touchdown pass from quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. This return was a significant boost for the Dolphins, though it was uncertain whether Mostert’s participation would continue or if he would be limited in his play​​.

Mostert’s participation in the game was already under scrutiny due to his knee and ankle issues, which had been a recurring theme throughout the season. He had missed several practices in the weeks leading up to the game as part of a strategic rest and management plan by the Dolphins. Despite these challenges, Mostert had been one of the NFL’s most productive running backs, appearing in every game of the season up to that point​​​​.
