Gaskin also established new high-water marks in carries and rushing yards in the contest, but his status for the Week 17 finale against the Patriots is now firmly in question.Gaskin was carted off the field after suffering a left ankle injury. It appears as though Gaskin could remain in a reserve role even if Ballage is forced to miss significant time.Gaskin's workload appears to be ramping up following the recent release of Mark Walton, and with Kalen Ballage's continued inability to reliably produce, the Gaskin has now gained zero yards on both of his 2019 touches. Laird has shown well as a pass catcher in recent weeks, and he outpaced Gaskin in the Week 13 win over the Eagles, playing 43 offensive snaps (60 percent) to the latter's 16 (20 percent). The running back returning the favor first on Friday was Myles Gaskin. Analysis: In the wake of Kenyan Drake getting shipped to the Cardinals and later Kalen Ballage landing on IR due to a leg injury, Gaskin slowly but surely increased his reps in the second half of the campaign. Gaskin seemingly probes too long for a big play, often times losing yards instead of hitting the hole, and has struggled to shake off would-be tacklers even at the second level, instead relying on his athleticism to run around people.

"He’s a kid who has really improved over the course of last season. Myles Gaskin Position: RB 5-10, 200lb (178cm, 90kg) Team: Miami Dolphins. NFL Draft Lead Writer April 27, 2019 Comments. Newcomers Jordan Howard and Matt Breida are expected to handle the bulk of the work at running back for the Miami Dolphins during the 2020 season if everything goes according to plan.But the Dolphins will need for a third running back to step up and deliver at some point, and the reality is there's no clear-cut picture yet as to who that player will be.The Dolphins currently have six running backs on their roster, though rookie seventh-round pick Malcolm Perry has been working as a slot receiver, meaning there are three legitimate options behind Howard and Breida.Those three are third-year back Kalen Ballage, and second-year players Patrick Laird and Myles Gaskin.While Ballage is the most physical imposing of the three, with great size and straight-away speed, Gaskin might be the one to watch here.A seventh-round pick in 2019, Gaskin had to bide his time before he finally got his shot at playing time as a rookie, but he was highly productive at the University of Washington and has looked impressive in the training camp practices open to the media.It's entirely possible, of course, that the Dolphins will choose to acquire a veteran running back at some point to supplement the Howard-Breida combination, but Gaskin sure looks like someone who could contribute in 2020.“I think Myles has done a very good job," head coach Brian Flores said Saturday morning. RB Myles Gaskin, Washington — stats (2015-18) "I tell him like I tell all the other players: their role is going to be what they make it, so if you go out there and you continually make plays and handle your responsibility and you’re someone we can depend on, we’re going to find a role for you.I think Myles has done a good job of doing everything he can off the field, on the field to make himself the best player he can be and that’s showing up a little bit in practice.
