Mostert was a limited participant in the Miami Dolphins' practice session on Tuesday. This is a massive boost for the franchise before they travel to face the Kansas City Chiefs in the first round of the playoffs.

Mostert sat out the last two games of the regular season for Miami. He was expected to feature in Week 18 against the Buffalo Bills, but Miami opted to give him some more recovery time since it had already qualified for the playoffs.

Nonetheless, Mostert is expected to return to full training later this week. Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel is also optimistic that the running back will be able to play in the Wild Card match against the Chiefs.
