The Dolphins claimed running back Phillip Lindsay off waivers Wednesday, his agent, Mike McCartney announced on social media. The Texans waived Lindsay on Tuesday.
Myles Gaskin leads the Dolphins with 123 carries for 433 yards and a touchdown, with Malcolm Brown contributing 33 carries for 125 yards and a score.
Lindsay appeared in all 10 games for the Texans this season after signing as a free agent in the offseason. He has 130 yards on 50 carries and three receptions for 37 yards. He has two touchdowns, one rushing and one receiving.
