Is Raheem Mostert playing this week? Injury update for Dolphins RB ahead of Week 4 vs. Titans image

Injuries have taken a toll on the Dolphins offense less than one month into the NFL season,

While QB Tua Tagovailoa was placed on IR after sustaining a concussion in Week 2, RB Raheem Mostert has been out since Week 1 with a chest injury. Mostert, 32, is coming off of a career year in Miami and played a key role in the team's multifaceted offensive attack.

Through three weeks of action, the Dolphins have a 1-2 record and have not led at all during regulation, with their lone win coming thanks to a game-winning field goal as time expired. In Week 4, Miami will take the field Monday night for a primetime meeting with a struggling Tennessee team.

Will Raheem Mostert play this week? Injury update on Dolphins RB

Mostert is listed as "questionable" for Miami's Week 4 matchup with Tennessee.

He was a limited participant during practices in the lead-up to the game and told reporters Friday that it is a "toss-up" if he plays on Monday. 

Hours before the game, it doesn't seem like Mostert will return to action. He's not expected to play Monday night, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

In his lone appearance of the season, Mostert carried the ball six times for nine yards in a win over Jacksonville. Last season, Mostert had 209 carries for 1,012 yards and a league-leading 18 rushing touchdowns.
