The Dolphins should enter their Monday night game against the Jets with a healthy backfield.

Daniel Thomas told the Miami Herald Saturday that he will suit up against New York, barring a setback to his nagging hamstring injury.

The Jets have been vulnerable to the run this year, so we wouldn’t be surprised to see a healthy dose of Thomas on Monday night in Matt Moore’s first start for Miami.

Reggie Bush has been a big disappointment, but Thomas has more or less looked as advertised with 4.9 yards-per-carry on the season.
