Walton carried the ball 12 times for 52 yards while catching his only target for six yards in Thursday's preseason win over the Saints.

EDGE Analysis

With Kenyan Drake and Kalen Ballage both getting the night off, Walton started at running back in the preseason finale and led Miami in rushing, although Myles Gaskin (6.0 YPC) was more efficient on fewer totes. The duo remain the prime candidates for the No. 3 spot on the depth chart, and while Walton appears to have the edge, the possibility of a suspension from the league as a result of multiple offseason arrests could render the battle moot.

Walton had six carries for three yards during Thursday's preseason win over Jacksonville, in addition to four catches for 20 yards and a touchdown.

EDGE Analysis

With Kenyan Drake (foot) sidelined, Walton saw work with the starters behind Kalen Ballage and made the most of his opportunity. The second-year pro brought in all four of his targets, and looks to have improved his chances of making the 53-man roster and locking up the No. 3 tailback job in Miami. It remains to be seen whether Walton will be suspended by the NFL due to his three 2019 arrests, in which case his chances at securing the reserve gig behind Ballage and Drake could be diminished.

Walton won't serve any jail time for his three 2019 arrests, but he may be suspended by the NFL, Charles Trainor of The Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

The possibility of a suspension could impact Walton's bid for the No. 3 job in the Miami backfield. He actually got the start in Friday's preseason game against Tampa Bay, with Kenyan Drake (foot) unavailable and Kalen Ballage held out as a precaution. Any NFL discipline for Walton could help the roster odds for Myles Gaskin, Patrick Laird or Kenneth Farrow.

Walton rushed six times for 12 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's preseason game against the Falcons.

EDGE Analysis

Walton saw work after starters Kalen Ballage and Kenyan Drake left the field, lending reinforced credence to his apparent position as the team's No. 3 running back. The second-year pro and Miami product found the end zone on a two-yard run, and is making an argument for a depth spot on the 53-man roster.

Walton is the front-runner to be the Dolphins' third-string running back, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walton signed with the Dolphins in May after being waived by the Bengals in the wake of multiple arrests, and he appears to be on track to secure a roster spot. Kenyan Drake and Kalen Ballage are the clear top two backfield options in Miami, which likely leaves a limited role for Walton, assuming he maintains his current standing on the depth chart.

Walton signed a contract with the Dolphins on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Walton was waived by Cincinnati on April 6 after being arrested a few days earlier for the third time this year -- including felony charges of carrying a concealed weapon, marijuana possession and reckless driving all stemming from an incident near Miami on March 12. The Miami product will join a crowded backfield, already populated by Kenyan Drake, Kalen Ballage, Myles Gaskin and Kenneth Farrow. Walton saw an extremely limited role with the Bengals last season, logging just 75 scrimmage yards off 19 touches over 14 games.

Walton was waived by the Bengals on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Walton was arrested Thursday for the third time this year following felony charges of carrying a concealed weapon, marijuana possession and reckless driving driving stemming from a March 12 incident near Miami. It seems likely Walton will need to put his legal issues in the past before he'll be able to resume his football career.

Walton surrendered Thursday to face felony charges of carrying a concealed weapon, marijuana possession and reckless driving stemming from a March 12 incident near Miami, Fl., David Ovalle of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walton is, reportedly, already facing two other criminal cases in the form of a misdemeanor battery charge from February and a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge from January. The former Hurricanes running back is coming off a disappointing rookie campaign in which Walton averaged just 2.4 yards over 14 rushing attempts, and these legal issues are doing him no favors in advance of his second season.

Walton is potentially facing misdemeanor battery charges after being arrested Friday in Miami, David Orvalle of The Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walton apparently got into a scuffle outside his condo with the police indicating the incident began due to the fact his vehicle was blocking the building's parking garage. The 21-year-old is currently free on bond, while the league office is likely to do their own investigation to see if the incident warrants any further action.

Walton earned one 10-yard carry during Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Broncos

EDGE Analysis

The carry snapped a three-game streak in which the rookie had not recorded a single touch. Part of that can be attributed to the fact that the Bengals started a first-time starter on Sunday and, relatedly, that the running game was what was working for them. Walton figures to continue to get a little more action with Jeff Driskel under center for the remainder of the season, but as he's behind both Joe Mixon and Giovani Bernard, it is unlikely that he'll get too much opportunity to enjoy Sunday's matchup against a middle-of-the-road Chargers run defense.
