Dolphins added Jake Funk to the practice squad, where he'll replace Darrynton Evans, who the Bears signed to the 53-man roster
The Miami Dolphins backfield lost one of its speedsters to another NFL team, then added his replacement.
To replace Evans on Miami's practice squad, which serves as a 16-player developmental unit, the Dolphins signed Jake Funk, a 2021 seventh-round pick of the Los Angeles Rams. Funk, who is 5-10, 205 pounds, played in four games this season, gaining 10 yards on two carries. He also caught one pass for 12 yards. He's previously served as a kickoff returner during his 2021 tenure with the Rams.
Raheem Mostert, who leads Miami with eight touchdowns in five games, will likely continue to serve as the Dolphins' lead tailback, and it's likely that Salvon Ahmed will become his complementary back, unless Jeff Wilson is taken off injured reserve and uses this week's practices to prove he's ready to contribute five weeks after a ribs injury and broken finger he was nursing throughout training camp forced him to begin the season on injured reserve.
