Malik Willis and the 0-3 Dolphins aren't panicking ahead of their matchup with the unbeaten Vikings

Malik Willis said Miami will lean on its backups and his running ability after De'Von Achane went on injured reserve.

  • The winless Miami Dolphins prepare for Sunday's game at Minnesota, with quarterback Malik Willis dismissing panic about the team's 0-3 start. "We don't have a win right now, but that's not our reality," Willis said Wednesday.
  • Miami has encountered four consecutive undefeated opponents in Las Vegas, San Francisco, Kansas City, and Minnesota entering Week 4. Each of these teams holds a 3-0 record, creating a rigorous early-season test for the Dolphins.
  • Quarterback Malik Willis completed 57% of his passes for 627 yards this season, demonstrating improved decision-making during Sunday's loss to Kansas City. Coach Jeff Hafley noted Willis is releasing the ball faster, marking progress for the offense.
  • Following Pro Bowl running back Von Achane's placement on injured reserve Monday, backups Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon will split backfield duties. Wright practiced in limited capacity Wednesday as Miami adjusts its rushing attack.
  • Coach Jeff Hafley views the rigorous schedule as an opportunity for young players to gain experience against elite competition. "It makes it I think exciting for some of our young guys who are getting to play," Hafley said.
