Dolphins' Drake to miss Steelers game amid trade talks

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake did not travel with the team for Monday night's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Drake's absence is not injury-related, per the team, a likely sign that the 25-year-old will be shipped prior to Tuesday's trade deadline.

Multiple media outlets have reported that the Tennessee Titans and Detroit Lions have inquired about Drake, who is playing out the final season of his original rookie contract. The Dolphins are asking for a mid-round draft pick, ESPN reported. Drake leads the winless Dolphins in carries (47) and rushing yards (174) in six games this season. He also has 22 receptions for 174 yards.

In his three-plus seasons, Drake has run for 1,532 yards with nine rushing scores while also posting 116 receptions for 936 receiving yards and six touchdowns. The former 2016 third-round pick's nine total touchdowns (four rushings, five receiving) led the Dolphins in 2018. -- Field Level Media
