  • Long rushing TD in loss

    Achane rushed 15 times for 81 yards and a touchdown and brought in all three targets for nine yards in the Dolphins' 45-21 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.

    Analysis: The highlight of Achane's afternoon came on his 48-yard scoring scamper late in the first quarter, which served as his third-longest run of the season. Achane's touchdown was his eighth on the ground in 2025, with five of those coming within the last six contests. Achane also now has multiple catches in consecutive contests heading into a Week 17 home matchup against the Buccaneers next Sunday.

  • Efficient in two-way role Monday

    Achane rushed 12 times for 60 yards and brought in all six targets for 67 yards in the Dolphins' 28-15 loss to the Steelers on Monday night.

    Analysis: Achane led the Dolphins in both rushing and receiving yards on the night, with his pass-catching work taking center stage in the second half due to Miami's deficit. His rushing workload bumped up by five carries over Week 14 against the Jets, a contest that he left early due to a rib injury, and his receiving yardage total was his second highest of the season behind only his 92-yard effort Week 2 against the Patriots. Achane should remain virtually game-script-proof in a Week 16 home matchup…read more

  • Clear of injury designation for MNF

    Achane (ribs) does not have an injury designation for Monday's Week 15 game against Pittsburgh, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Miami coach Mike McDaniel said earlier Saturday that he expected Achane to play Monday, and the star running back's lack of an injury designation on the team's final practice report makes that expectation a reality. In fact, Achane was able to practice in full Saturday after being limited the previous two days, so he may not have any restrictions (aside from possibly wearing some extra padding to protect his ribs). Achane could be primed for a big game against a Steelers defense that has given…read more

  • Expected to play Monday

    Head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Saturday that he expects Achane (ribs) to play against the Steelers on Monday, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Achane was a limited practice participant Thursday and Friday while donning a red non-contact jersey in both sessions. Per Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post, Achane is testing out different forms of equipment to protect his ribs, and while Saturday's injury report has yet to come out, the expectation is that the third-year running back suits up for Monday night's game. If Achane is unable to play or operates on a snap count, then Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon would be in line for expanded roles…read more

  • Another limited practice

    Achane (ribs) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Achane wore a red non-contact jersey at practice Friday, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports, but he appeared to be running at full speed without signs of discomfort. Per Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post, the standout running back is testing forms of protective equipment he could use to guard his ribs during Monday's road matchup against the Steelers, while Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports that the Dolphins do expect Achane to be available Week 15. That said, after the impressive…read more

  • Slated to be limited Thursday

    Achane (ribs) will be limited at Thursday's practice, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Per Louis-Jacques, Achane will wear a red (non-contact) jersey during Thursday's session, with coach Mike McDaniel noting that "it'll be a gradual increase in activity and physicality" for the running back as the week progresses, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Achane has two more chances to upgrade to full participation before Miami assigns Week 15 game statuses Saturday. If Achane ends up limited or out Monday night against the Steelers, however, Jaylen Wright would…read more

  • Practice this week TBD

    Achane (ribs) could be held out of some practice sessions this week, according to C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald.

    Analysis: Achane underwent an MRI after sustaining a rib injury in Sunday's victory over the Jets. Although it was determined the running back is not dealing with a serious setback, head coach Mike McDaniel revealed that Achane "needs treatment," which could affect his practice participation this week. Miami will face Pittsburgh on Monday night in Week 15, so while that will afford Achane more rest, it will also likely delay the next official update on the running back's status until Thursday.

  • Could have returned Sunday, per coach

    Coach Mike McDaniel noted after Sunday's 34-10 win over the Jets that Achane (rib) was available to return to return to the contest in an emergency, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: McDaniel acknowledged that Achane was hurting after exiting the game with a rib issue, but it looks like the running back has a chance to avoid missing further game action, given that he did not suffer a fracture, per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network. That said, we'd expect Achane's name to appear on Miami's injury report ahead of the team's Nov. 15 game against the Steelers. With Achane logging just seven carries Sunday, Jaylen Wright saw added work, carrying 24 times for 107 yards and a TD, while…read more

  • Sustains rib injury Sunday

    Achane exited Sunday's game against the Jets with a rib injury.

    Analysis: Prior to leaving Sunday's contest, Achane carried seven times for 92 yards and a TD and caught his only target for 13 yards. In his absence, Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon are available to handle Miami's backfield duties.

  • Over 100 yards again Sunday

    Achane rushed 22 times for 134 yards and a touchdown while failing to bring in his only target in the Dolphins' 21-17 win over the Saints on Sunday.

    Analysis: Achane finished with his second-highest rushing yardage total of the campaign with the help of three double-digit-yardage runs, including a 29-yard scoring scamper to cap off the opening possession of the contest. Achane's rushing volume has unsurprisingly ticked up over the course of the season as the Dolphins manage the absence of Tyreek Hill (IR, knee), and the explosive back now has three straight games with 21 or more carries heading into a Week 14 road matchup against the Jets.

  • Eclipses century mark in OT win

    Achane rushed 21 times for 120 yards and brought in all five targets for 45 yards in the Dolphins' 16-13 overtime victory over the Commanders in Madrid on Sunday.

    Analysis: Achane put together a signature two-way performance, repeatedly picking up meaningful yardage on the ground while recording a game-long run of a relatively modest 23 yards. The speedy third-year pro did get evaluated for a possible back injury in the fourth quarter, but he was able to return to the game and handled all three carries on the Dolphins' game-winning drive to set up Riley Patterson's 29-yard field goal. Achane now has back-to-back 100-yard efforts on the ground for the first time…read more

  • Standout performance in upset win

    Achane rushed 22 times for 174 yards and two touchdowns and brought in all six targets for 51 yards in the Dolphins' 30-13 win over the Bills on Sunday.

    Analysis: Achane was a central figure in the Dolphins' jaw-dropping upset victory, spearheading the offense with 59- and 35-yard touchdown runs on his way to a season-high tally on the ground. The versatile third-year back also notched a second straight six-catch effort, and he's recorded at least 67 rushing yards in five consecutive contests after a season-low 16-yard effort versus the Panthers in Week 5. Achane remains a must-start option in all formats heading into the Week 11 matchup against the…read more

  • Over 100 total yards in loss

    Achane rushed 14 times for 67 yards and secured six of 10 targets for 39 yards in the Dolphins' 28-6 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Achane gained exactly 67 rushing yards for the second straight game, although he was more efficient Thursday with an average of 4.8 yards per carry than he had been against the Falcons on Sunday (3.7 YPC). Achane was also once again heavily involved as a pass catcher, tying his third-highest reception total of the campaign. The versatile back continues to boast a safe floor irrespective of the inconsistencies of the Dolphins offense, and he'll be teed up for a favorable matchup in a Week 10…read more

  • Records receiving TD in win

    Achane rushed 18 times for 67 yards and brought in five of seven targets for 24 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 34-10 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

    Analysis: Achane crossed the goal with a three-yard touchdown reception late in the first quarter to cap off a marathon 13-play drive that absorbed over eight minutes of clock. The speedy running back was generally contained on the ground while recording a long run of just 12 yards, and he also saw rookie backfield mate Ollie Gordon log a career-high 10 carries. Nevertheless, Achane's workload on the ground qualified as his second highest of the season, and he now has at least Sunday's yardage tally in…read more

  • Only bright spot in ugly loss

    Achane rushed 13 times for 82 yards and brought in three of five targets for 16 yards in the Dolphins' 31-6 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

    Analysis: The Dolphins' point total and the fact Tua Tagovailoa managed only 100 passing yards while throwing three interceptions essentially tells the tale of the type of day it was for Miami's offense as a whole. Therefore, Achane's solid numbers served as the one bright spot for Mike McDaniel's squad, and the speedy running back gained well more than half his total on a 46-yard run late in the first quarter. Achane has rattled off 210 rushing yards and a pair of Week 6 rushing touchdowns on 29 carries…read more

  • Breaks out as runner in loss

    Achane rushed 16 times for 128 yards and two touchdowns while bringing in four of six targets for 22 yards in the Dolphins' 29-27 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Achane had been uncharacteristically bottled up by the Panthers in Week 5, but the electric back set an early tone Sunday with a 49-yard breakaway touchdown run with just over four minutes remaining in the first quarter. He'd go on to add a four-yard scoring scamper with just under eight minutes left in the contest, a score that narrowed a 26-13 deficit. Achane eclipsed the century mark for the first time this season with Sunday's production, and his carry total was his second highest through…read more

  • Records receiving TD in loss

    Achane rushed 10 times for 16 yards and brought in six of seven targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 27-24 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Achane came into the interconference battle with elevated expectations, considering the struggles of the Panthers against the run and the fact Tyreek Hill's (IR, knee) absence was expected to open up even more pass-catching opportunities for the versatile back. The latter partly did come to fruition, as Achane recorded his third-highest reception and target tallies of the season and salvaged his fantasy day with an impressive 10-yard touchdown catch on the first play of the second quarter.…read more

  • Just over 100 total yards in win

    Achane rushed 20 times for 99 yards and a touchdown and brought in one of two targets for two yards in the Dolphins' 27-21 win over the Jets on Monday night. He also committed a fumble recovered by Miami.

    Analysis: Achane rattled off several chunk gains against the Jets defense, particularly on a key fourth-quarter drive as the Dolphins looked to ice their first victory of the season. The speedy third-year back's carry and yardage totals were both season-high figures, as the combination of Tyreek Hill's early exit due to a gruesome knee injury and a game script favorable to the ground game helped Achane's cause. With Hill presumably sidelined the rest of the season, Achane will be looked at to provide…read more

  • Accrues 91 total yards in loss

    Achane rushed 12 times for 62 yards and brought in seven of nine targets for 29 yards in the Dolphins' 31-21 loss to the Bills on Thursday night.

    Analysis: After being held to 2.7 yards per carry by the Patriots in Week 2, Achane bounced back with an efficient effort on the ground that included two double-digit-yardage runs. He also followed up an 8-92-1 receiving line against New England with another busy night as a receiver, albeit in much more of a short-area role. Achane also saw rookie backfield mate Ollie Gordon convert a red-zone carry into a two-yard touchdown in the first quarter and log just three fewer carries, so the division of labor…read more

  • Stands out as receiver in loss

    Achane rushed 11 times for 30 yards and brought in eight of 10 targets for 92 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 33-27 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

    Analysis: The Dolphins were already down 12-0 at the end of one quarter, which immediately put Achane in catch-up mode when it came to consistent rushing opportunities. As his final line indicates, those remained relatively sparse overall, but game script did work in his favor when it came to his pass-catching role. Achane finished as the Dolphins' leader in both receptions and targets, while finishing second to only Tyreek Hill in receiving yards. Achane also went in for his second receiving touchdown…read more

  • Saves fantasy day with receiving TD

    Achane rushed seven times for 55 yards and brought in three of four targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 33-8 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

    Analysis: Achane was certainly efficient on the ground, but his opportunities were capped by a surprising game script that saw the Colts already ahead by a 20-0 margin at halftime. The speedy back did offer underwhelmed fantasy managers some solace with his fourth-quarter 11-yard touchdown reception, and more opportunities on the ground should be available in a Week 2 home matchup against the Patriots.

  • Cleared for Week 1

    Achane (calf) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Colts, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

    Analysis: Achane participated without limitations in practice Friday and avoided a Week 1 injury designation after limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday. He'll be backed up by rookie sixth-round pick Ollie Gordon against the Colts, as fellow running back Jaylen Wright (knee) was ruled out Friday. Gordon could be better suited for short-yardage work, but the speedy Achane should get the majority of touches in Miami's backfield.

  • On track to face Colts

    Coach Mike McDaniel said Friday that Achane (calf) is "absolutely" on track to play in Sunday's season opener against the Colts, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: That aligns with Achane's previous assertion that he feels 100 percent healthy and that his recent practice limitations were precautionary. Friday's final injury report will reveal whether the running back carries a Week 1 injury designation, but at this stage it looks like he'll be available to lead Miami's backfield this weekend.

    Achane (calf) was limited in practice Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Achane has now officially been limited in back-to-back practices, though he said Wednesday that he feels 100 percent healthy and that the recent cap on his reps has simply been an effort not to aggravate his calf injury. The third-year pro appears on track to suit up for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Colts, though Furones reports that the Dolphins may opt to lean on big-bodied rookie Ollie Gordon in Week 1, and relegate the undersized Achane to a smaller workload than usual as he…read more

    Analysis: Achane said at practice Wednesday that he feels back to 100 percent health, per David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, so the Dolphins may simply still be taking a cautious approach to the undersized playmaker's recovery. With Mike McDaniel having said Monday that he still expects Achane to suit up Sunday on the road against Indianapolis, it sounds like the 23-year-old will be on track to play Week 1 even if he's officially listed as "questionable" on Friday's injury report.

Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that he expects Achane to play this Sunday at Indianapolis, even though the 23-year-old missed the final two weeks of August with a calf injury.

    Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that Achane (calf) will practice and remains on track for Sunday's regular-season opener on the road against Indianapolis "if he doesn't have any setbacks," Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Achane will practice for the first time since he sustained a calf injury Aug. 16, a notable step in the right direction even if he's limited in his return to on-field work. McDaniel has consistently indicated that Achane is on track to play Week 1, though Miami has taken a cautious approach to his recovery and prioritized avoiding any setbacks.

    Analysis: Achane remained absent from practice Tuesday as he continues to manage a calf injury, but all signals from Miami have been that the team is simply taking a cautious approach to the starting running back's recovery and that he should be back in action in advance of the regular-season opener at Indianapolis on Sunday, Sept. 7. On the other hand, Jaylen Wright (leg) may not be ready to go versus the Colts, so no matter how much confidence rookie sixth-rounder Ollie Gordon has earned after his…read more

    Analysis: Achane has missed a week of practice sandwiched by the Dolphins' last two exhibitions due to a calf injury. Per Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com, McDaniel previously has noted that Achane's absence is "preventative in nature," so the team likely will continue to take a cautious approach with its No. 1 running back.

Wright was stuffed twice from the 1-yard line to end that possession, though the speedy backup bounced back with a seven-yard touchdown run in the second quarter.

  • Early standout at training camp

    Achane has impressed during the early portion of training camp, making several big plays at practice Tuesday, Hal Habib of the Palm Beach Post reports.

    Analysis: Achane opened 11-on-11 team drills Tuesday with an impressive run, and he logged a pair of big plays to close out the day, including a deep pass from Tua Tagovailoa. It's encouraging to see Achane meshing well with Miami's revamped offensive line, and he remains the Dolphins' clear lead back after a stellar sophomore season in which he tallied career-high totals across the board with 203 carries for 907 yards (4.5 YPC) and six scores, plus an outstanding 78-592-6 receiving line on 87 targets.…read more

  • Stars on offense Sunday

    Achane took 11 carries for 121 yards and a touchdown without recording a reception in Sunday's 32-20 loss to the Jets.

    Analysis: Achane was the standout on offense in an otherwise forgettable performance by the Dolphins to close out the 2024 schedule. It was also oddly the sterling sophomore's first professional game without recording a target or a reception. Achane capped off a strong fantasy year by setting new career highs in rushing (907) and receiving yards (592) with six rushing and six receiving touchdowns.

  • Produces dud against CLE

    Achane rushed 10 times for 25 yards while bringing in both of his targets for 13 receiving yards in Sunday's 20-3 win over the Browns.

    Analysis: Achane struggled in a matchup with a game script that should have benefited the winning side's starting running back. Despite the underwhelming performance, the sophomore standout remains a fantasy presence with 1,378 combined yards yards from scrimmage with 11 total touchdowns in 16 games this season. Achane will certainly be a focal point of the Dolphins' offensive attack in a matchup against the Jets next Sunday that could help push Miami into the playoffs with a victory.

  • Explodes for 190 yards Sunday

    Achane took 17 carries for 120 yards and a touchdown while corralling six of seven targets for 70 yards in Sunday's 29-17 win over the 49ers.

    Analysis: Achane took full advantage of San Francisco's porous rush defense en route to his first 100-plus yard rushing game of the season. In addition to his gaudy rushing total, the explosive back also led the Dolphins in receiving yardage Sunday. Achane had failed to eclipse the 4.0 yards per carry barometer of success for rushers in each of his last four appearances, but he absolutely crushed that mark with a 7.1 yard average against the 49ers. Backup Raheem Mostert remained involved with 10 touches,…read more

    Achane rushed 12 times for 41 yards and brought in all seven targets for 35 yards in the Dolphins' 20-12 loss to the Texans on Sunday. He also fumbled once but possession remained with Miami.

    Analysis: Achane doubled up Raheem Mostert in carries and finished with his highest rushing yardage total since Week 11. While Achane failed to average even 4.0 yards per carry for the fourth straight contest, he was once again heavily involved as a receiver. He's recorded at least six catches in three straight games, but he'll aim to get back on track on the ground in a Week 16 home matchup against a 49ers defense that's had trouble against the run on occasion.

    Achane rushed 14 times for 24 yards and a touchdown while catching six of seven targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 32-26 overtime win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Achane finally opened the scoring with a two-yard touchdown run after mustering just one yard on three previous rushing attempts inside the 3-yard line. He later went to the medical tent to be evaluated for a concussion after taking a big hit, per CBS sideline reporter Melanie Collins, and Achane spent a significant chunk of the first half on the sideline before checking back in on Miami's final drive before halftime. He failed to find much running room but remained heavily involved as a pass…read more

  • Productive as receiver in loss

    Achane rushed seven times for 14 yards and brought in eight of nine targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 30-17 loss to the Packers on Thursday.

    Analysis: Achane's final rushing line speaks to both how difficult it was to find running room and how little an opportunity he got in that regard due to game script. The Dolphins were down 24-3 by halftime, so Achane's biggest contributions were as a receiver. The versatile back finished second on the Dolphins in receptions and tied for second in targets, with the latter figure also setting a new season high. Achane's workload on the ground marked the end of a six-game streak of double-digit carries,…read more

  • Two receiving TDs in win

    Achane rushed 10 times for 32 yards and brought in three of four targets for 24 yards and two touchdowns in the Dolphins' 34-15 win over the Patriots on Sunday.

    Analysis: Achane surprisingly found running room at a premium against a Patriots team that had struggled against opposing ground attacks all season, but he made up for it with the second multi-TD receiving effort of his career. Achane found the end zone from nine and 11 yards out exactly six minutes apart in the second quarter, his fourth and fifth touchdowns over the last four games. Achane figures to be in for another busy workday when the Dolphins travel to Lambeau Field to face off with the Packers…read more

  • Eclipses 100 total yards in win

    Achane rushed 17 times for 73 yards and a touchdown and brought in all four targets for 32 yards in the Dolphins' 34-19 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

    Analysis: Achane once again served as the clear lead back and also held down a solid pass-catching role, netting another productive afternoon for the explosive second-year back. Achane's two-yard rushing touchdown early in the fourth quarter was his third score on the ground this season and sixth overall, and he now has a robust 24 receptions in his last four games alone. Achane will next do battle with a vulnerable Patriots run defense in a Week 12 home matchup.

  • Garners 52 total yards in win

    Achane rushed 12 times for 37 yards and secured all five targets for 15 yards in the Dolphins' 23-15 win over the Rams on Monday night.

    Analysis: Achane was stymied on the ground by a Rams defense that had frequently struggled stopping the run, and although he remained a big part of the air attack, his receiving yardage total was his lowest in any game this season with at least five receptions. His backfield mate Raheem Mostert notably did not log any carries Monday night while Jaylen Wright recorded a modest five rush attempts, further confirming that Achane seems to be in control of the ground game heading into a Week 11 home matchup…read more

  • Scores twice in Week 9 loss

    Achane rushed 12 times for 63 yards and a touchdown while catching all eight of his targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Achane gave the Dolphins a 10-3 lead with a 14-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter, and he added an eight-yard rushing score in the fourth. He finished with 20 touches to Raheem Mostert's 12, as Achane was much more active as a pass catcher. Achane has at least 100 scrimmage yards and a touchdown in all four games started by Tua Tagovailoa this season, so the second-year running back profiles as a strong Week 10 fantasy option against the Rams on MNF.

  • Shines in QB's return

    Achane rushed 10 times for 97 yards while catching six of eight targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Achane got 47 of his 147 scrimmage yards on an explosive third-quarter run, and he fittingly capped that drive with a 12-yard touchdown catch. He finished with 16 touches while Raheem Mostert and Jaylen Wright combined for 12, but Mostert's nine carries included a pair of short touchdown runs. Achane and Mostert coexisted effectively in Achane's 2023 rookie season, and the return of Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) under center raises the ceiling for Miami's entire offense heading into a Week 9 trip…read more

  • Leading rusher in Week 7 loss

    Achane carried the ball 15 times for 77 yards and caught two of three targets for eight yards in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Colts.

    Analysis: The Dolphins' offense struggled once again with Tyler Huntley (shoulder) and then Tim Boyle under center, but Achane was still able to accumulate solid yardage and led the team in rushing. With Boyle potentially set for the start in Week 8 against the Cardinals if none of Huntley, Skylar Thompson (ribs) or Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) are able to suit up, Achane and Raheem Mostert (11 totes for 50 yards Sunday) could be in line for even bigger volume out of the backfield.

    Achane said Friday he's fully cleared the NFL's concussion protocol and is in line to suit up for Sunday's road matchup against the Colts, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Achane has been a full participant in practice coming off a Week 6 bye, and he's now on track to play Week 7 after having gained clearance from an independent neurologist. Including a Week 5 performance in which he handled just three carries before being forced off the field versus New England, the second-year pro has amassed just 63 rushing yards while averaging 2.3 YPC in his last three appearances.

  • Optimism for Week 7

    Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said he's "optimistic" that Achane (concussion) will fully clear the NFL's concussion protocol after Friday's practice, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Achane still needs to gain clearance from an independent neurologist, but he's otherwise practiced in full this week and seems to be trending in the right direction coming out of a Week 6 bye. Assuming he indeed gains full clearance in time for Sunday's road matchup in Indianapolis, he'll figure to lead Miami's speedy backfield, in which Raheem Mostert and Jaylen Wright also are pushing for touches.

  • Another full practice

    Achane (concussion) was a full practice participant Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Achane has now logged back-to-back full practices without a non-contract jersey, seemingly putting him in the final stage of concussion protocol, at which point he needs clearance from a neurologist before playing in Sunday's game at Indianapolis. Assuming that happens, he'll step in as the leader of a speedy, talented backfield in which Raheem Mostert and Jaylen Wright loom as threats to take a portion of the snaps/carries.

    Analysis: Per David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, Achane shed his non-contact jersey at Wednesday's practice, and the running back's listed full participation indicates that he's trending toward being available Sunday against the Colts, barring any setbacks. Assuming Achane officially clears the NFL's concussion protocol within the next couple of days, he'll be in line to head into the weekend without an injury designation.

    Achane is in the final stage of the concussion protocol and isn't wearing a non-contact jersey at practice Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Coming out of a Week 6 bye, Achane sported a red, non-contact jersey at Monday's practice. He's apparently made progress since then and now has four days to gain clearance ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Colts, which will take place 14 days after Achane suffered a concussion in the Week 5 win at New England.

    Analysis: It's encouraging that Achane was on the practice field with his teammates Monday coming out of Miami's Week 6 bye, but he still has a few hurdles to clear in order to pass the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. He will need to upgrade to full practice participation at some point prior to Sunday's game against the Colts to have a chance to suit up.

    Achane won't return to Sunday's game against the Patriots after suffering a concussion.

    Analysis: Achane thus finished the contest with three carries for 18 yards and one catch for minus-1 yard. In Achane's absence for the rest of the Week 5 contest, the Dolphins will lean on Raheem Mostert and Jaylen Wright to handle snaps out of the backfield.

  • Stymied in Week 4 loss

    Achane rushed 10 times for 15 yards and brought in all three targets for 14 yards in the Dolphins' 31-12 loss to the Titans on Monday night.

    Analysis: Achane's forgettable numbers were essentially a microcosm of the type of night it was for the Dolphins offense as a whole. The speedy back had a long run of only five yards and was repeatedly stymied, and both his rushing and receiving yardage totals were season lows. Achane logged just one more carry than rookie backfield mate Jaylen Wright, who played more than expected due to Raheem Mostert's (chest) inactive status and the fact Jeff Wilson suffered a knee injury in pregame warmups.

    Achane rushed 11 times for 30 yards and secured three of five targets for 28 yards in the Dolphins' 24-3 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday. He also returned one kickoff for 32 yards.

    Analysis: Achane once again served as the lead back due to Raheem Mostert (chest) being sidelined, but the speedy back was frequently stymied by Mike Macdonald's aggressive defense. Naturally, it didn't help Achane's cause that the Dolphins opened the game with Skylar Thompson at quarterback and finished with Tim Boyle after the former was knocked out of the contest with a rib injury.

    Achane rushed 22 times for 96 yards and secured all seven targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 31-10 loss to the Bills on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Achane was the biggest part of the Dolphins offense on a troublesome night overall that saw Tua Tagovailoa exit with a concussion late in the third quarter. Miami struggled to move the ball all night even when Tagovailoa was in the contest, with the notable exception of the majority of times it was in Achane's hands. The explosive second-year pro scored his team's only touchdown on a five-yard reception in the first quarter, and he handled a career-high 22-carry workload well in the absence of…read more

As a result, the duo's status will need to be monitored ahead of Thursday night's game against the Bills.

    Analysis: Achane was the Dolphins' team leader in rush attempts, outpacing backfield mates Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson by four and five carries, respectively. However, while running room was at a premium as clearly indicated by Achane's final line, he put in highly productive work in the passing game and finished tied with Tyreek Hill for the team lead in receptions.

    Analysis: The second-year back took his first carry with 7:29 remaining in the first quarter and played a total of three possessions. Achane recorded chunk gains of seven yards on the ground and eight and 26 yards through the air, flashing the signature explosiveness that made him a rookie sensation in 2023. Achane already appears in regular-season form, but it remains to be seen if he'll have a chance to garner a few more touches in Friday night's road preseason finale against the Buccaneers.

Even in a crowded backfield that also houses Raheem Mostert, rookie fourth-round pick Jaylen Wright and veteran Jeff Wilson, it's difficult to ignore Achane's positive offseason momentum, especially coming off a rookie campaign in which he averaged 7.8 YPC on 103 carries during the regular season, including four games with over 100 rushing…read more

Both backs should have significant roles after the impressive work they did in 2023, while fourth-round pick Jaylen Wright is a wild card to earn occasional carries.

Both should still enter the 2024 season as Miami's clear top backfield options, but Wright brings blazing speed (4.38-second 40-yard dash time) to the table, and neither Achane or Mostert boast the size to hold up to extreme workloads.

It's his second offseason bulking up for football without also considering track and field, though at this point it's unclear how much muscle he's added relative to his weight from the 2023 NFL Combine, where he ran a 4.32-second 40-yard dash at 188 pounds.

    Achane was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to toe and rib injuries, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The rib issue is new for Achane, but he's been dealing with the toe injury for weeks. With Raheem Mostert (knee/ankle) sidelined for last week's 56-19 loss to the Ravens, Achane played 48 percent of the offensive snaps and carried 14 times for 107 yards while adding four catches for 30 yards and a touchdown on five targets. Achane will have two more chances to increase his practice participation ahead of Sunday's game against the Bills, but the early expectation is that the rookie running back…read more

  • Impressive in ugly loss

    Achane rushed 14 times for 107 yards and secured four of five targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 56-19 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

    Analysis: Achane led the Dolphins in rushing yards in the absence of Raheem Mostert (ankle/knee), outpacing backfield mate Jeff Wilson by 11 carries. The rookie also enjoyed a solid role in the passing game on the way to his fifth game with over 100 scrimmage yards. Achane could be poised for a critical role, whether or not Mostert is available, in Sunday's Week 18 home showdown against the Bills that will decide the AFC East title

  • Looks set for lead back role Sunday

    Achane appears poised to lead the Dolphins backfield Sunday in Baltimore with Raheem Mostert (knee/ankle) considered unlikely to be available for the Week 17 contest, Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network report.

    Analysis: For a third consecutive week, Achane tended to a toe injury, ramping up his activity from none Wednesday to some one day later and then a full session Friday. The development was enough for him to avoid a Week 17 game designation, while Mostert's one limited practice to end the week left him questionable to suit up. Miami will be posting its inactive list about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, and assuming Mostert's name is included, Achane should take on lead back duties for the…read more

  • Will be available in Baltimore

    Achane (toe) was a full participant in practice Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

    Analysis: Achane's toe injury won't keep him off the field Sunday, but there is less certainty over the availability of fellow running back Raheem Mostert (knee/ankle), whose only practice participation all week came in the form of a limited session Friday. If Mostert plays, he'll likely see the majority of touches in Miami's backfield over Achane and Jeff Wilson. Achane has logged between eight and 12 touches in each of the last three games.

    Achane (toe) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: After sitting out the Dolphins' first Week 17 practice session Wednesday, Achane took a step forward in terms of activity a day later. The Dolphins haven't suggested that Achane's lingering toe injury is anything that will seriously threaten his availability for Sunday's game against the Ravens, but fellow running back Raheem Mostert's (knee/ankle) status may be a little more uncertain. Mostert is still expected to play this weekend, but he was a non-participant in practices Wednesday and…read more

  • Returns to practice Thursday

    Achane (toe) is participating in Thursday's practice, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Achane missed practice Wednesday due to a toe injury that's lingered in recent weeks, but which didn't keep him out of last Sunday's win over the Cowboys. Still, it's worth noting that Achane wasn't spotted working with his position group Thursday, per David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, meaning he likely won't take a full slate of reps. Raheem Mostert (ankle) scored versus Dallas but handled only 19 offensive snaps versus Achane's 35, so the health of Miami's backfield will be key…read more

  • Misses practice Wednesday

    Achane (toe) didn't practice Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: The rookie running back has been dealing with the toe issue over the last few weeks but has played through it. Achane paced the Miami backfield in playing time in the team's 22-20 win over Dallas on Sunday, seeing action on 55 percent of the snaps while Raheem Mostert's role was reduced as he managed an ankle injury. Achane has handled single-digit carries in each of the last three contests, but he hasn't found the end zone while averaging 4.5 yards over his 23 totes during that stretch.

  • Turns eight touches into 31 yards

    Achane (toe) rushed seven times for 24 yards and caught one of three targets for seven yards in Sunday's 22-20 win over the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Achane didn't take part in a full practice at any point this week while nursing a toe injury, but he was healthy enough to get clearance prior to kickoff Sunday. The explosive rookie finished with eight touches to starter Raheem Mostert's 12, but the latter scored Miami's only offensive touchdown Sunday and finished with the better fantasy line. Assuming he didn't aggravate his toe, Achane figures to hover around double-digit touches in a road matchup against the Ravens on Dec. 31.

    Achane (toe) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Cowboys, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Achane never took part in a full practice this week, but the Dolphins evidently came away encouraged enough from what they saw from the rookie in limited sessions Thursday and Friday to clear him for Sunday's contest. Since returning to action Week 13 following a one-game absence due to a knee issue, Achane hasn't played more than 59 percent of snaps in any of the ensuing three contests, but he's still produced 152 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 33 carries (4.6 average) to go with 11…read more

    Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Friday that he expects Achane (toe) to play Sunday gainst the Cowboys, Hal Habib of the Palm Beach Post reports.

    Analysis: McDaniel mentioned that Achane has been playing through injuries in recent weeks, so there's a still a decent chance that the rookie running back will carry an injury designation into Sunday's game. Before the Dolphins decide whether or not Achane takes a questionable tag into the weekend, the coaching staff will see what he's able to do in Friday's practice.

He's on the right track to play again this Sunday against the Cowboys, having returned to practice Thursday after what was seemingly a precautionary absence Wednesday.

With no reported setbacks to any Miami running backs since Sunday's game, the absences of both Achane and Raheem Mostert's (knee/ankle/veteran rest) to begin Week 16 prep look to be mostly precautionary.

  • Outplayed by Mostert again in win

    Achane (toe) rushed nine times for 32 yards and caught all three of his targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 30-0 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Achane ceded goal-line opportunities to Raheem Mostert, who scored twice to raise his season rushing touchdown total to 18. Mostert had just 43 scrimmage yards on 17 touches, so neither speedy running back broke off many big plays. Achane's longest gain came on a 13-yard catch, though he also had a key play on the ground, converting on fourth-and-2 with a four-yard carry on the final play of the third quarter. Mostert has settled in as the top option in Miami's backfield heading into a Week 16…read more

Now that the dynamic rookie's active status has been confirmed, Achane will be available to continue to work in tandem with fellow RB Raheem Mostert.

    Analysis: After having been estimated as a non-participant Wednesday and Thursday, Achane was able to work in a limited fashion Friday, which gives him a chance to suit up this weekend. Ideally, added context regarding Achane's Week 15 status will arrive as Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff approaches, but if he ends up limited or out versus New York, Jeff Wilson would be in line to log added backfield work behind Raheem Mostert (knee).

    Achane rushed seven times for 47 yards while catching five of nine targets for 24 yards in Monday's 28-27 loss to the Titans.

    Analysis: Achane played second fiddle on the ground to Raheem Mostert, who rushed 21 times for 96 yards and two touchdowns. The rookie running back actually led Miami in targets as star receiver Tyreek Hill was in and out of the game with an ankle injury, but Achane wasn't nearly as effective at getting into the open field without a healthy Hill on hand to divert the defense's attention.

    Achane rushed 17 times for 73 yards and two touchdowns and brought in three of four targets for 30 yards in the Dolphins' 45-15 win over the Commanders on Sunday.

    Analysis: Making his return from a near two-game absence due to a reoccurrence of the knee injury that had led to a four-game stint on injured reserve, Achane was sparingly used early but saw his opportunity ramp up as the Dolphins expanded their lead. Achane ultimately garnered eight more touches than backfield mate Raheem Mostert, although that appeared to be the byproduct of game script. Nevertheless, Achane's electric speed is difficult to keep off the field, so he'll enjoy a solid complementary…read more

    Analysis: The Dolphins made it official a few hours after coach Mike McDaniel announced Achane was ready to return. The rookie had a setback with his knee in his first game back from a stint on injured reserve, but the Dolphins don't seem too worried about a significant aggravation occurring. Achane figures to share backfield work with Raheem Mostert and possibly Jeff Wilson as well.

Achane has missed five of the past six games due to a knee injury, but he preceded this stretch of unavailability with 518 yards from scrimmage and seven touchdowns over a three-game span.

In Achane's absence, Raheem Mostert is in line to lead Miami's backfield Friday, with Jeff Wilson on hand to provide support and Darrynton Evans available as a third option out of the backfield.

    Coach Mike McDaniel said after Sunday's win against the Raiders that Achane's abbreviated outing was spurred by the running back's knee getting landed on, and the Dolphins exercised caution because it was the same knee that forced his recent IR stint, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Achane's Week 11 came to a close during the second quarter of Sunday's game, and while McDaniel received positive feedback from Miami's training staff regarding the rookie's knee, he didn't return despite his pleas to do so. As a result, Achane was contained to a disappointing one carry for one yard and one catch for four yards.

    Analysis: In terms of Achane returning this weekend, McDaniel is "very optimistic about that" on the heels of the running back logging back-to-back limited practices Wednesday and Thursday. Assuming Achane is activated ahead of Saturday afternoon's deadline to do so, the 2023 third-rounder would presumably reenter a timeshare with Raheem Mostert (ankle/knee), though even in that context Achane has enough playmaking ability to merit fantasy lineup consideration Week 11.

    Analysis: That aligns with previous reports suggesting that Achane wasn't expected to miss more than the necessary four games on his IR stint, though McDaniel did acknowledge that the Dolphins plan to take things "one day at a time" with the rookie back ahead of the team's Nov. 19 contest against the Raiders. Once he's ready to rejoin the lineup, Achane figures to reenter a timeshare with Raheem Mostert, though given how explosive the 2023 third-rounder looked before his injury, we'd expect the Dolphins…read more

  • Eyeing Week 11 return

    Achane (knee) is expected to miss the minimum four games while on injured reserve and will likely be activated ahead of the Dolphins' Week 11 game against the Raiders on Nov. 19, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Though the Dolphins haven't provided many details regarding the knee injury that forced Achane to IR on Wednesday, the rookie running back appears to have avoided a season-ending injury and looks to be on pace for a return following the Dolphins' Week 10 bye. While Achane's timeline could change if he endures any hiccups in the rehab process over the next month, fantasy managers in redraft leagues are advised to continue stashing the 22-year-old, given the immense upside he displayed through…read more

  • Officially moves to IR

    The Dolphins placed Achane (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday.

    Analysis: Achane will miss at least four games while on IR, and with the Dolphins on bye Week 10, the soonest the running back will be able to return to action is Week 11 versus the Raiders. While Achane is sidelined, Raheem Mostert is likely to lead Miami's backfield, with Jeff Wilson (ribs) slated to practice this week and a candidate to settle in as the No. 2 option once he's activated from IR. For now, Chris Brooks and Salvon Ahmed are the depth options behind Mostert on the Dolphins' 53-man roster.

  • Pending IR move confirmed

    Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel confirmed Wednesday that Achane (knee) will be placed on injured reserve, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: The Dolphins haven't yet made the transaction official, but whenever Achane lands on IR, he'll be forced to miss at least four games. The rookie running back would then be eligible to return the field after the team's bye, meaning the Dolphins' Week 11 matchup versus the Raiders will be his earliest chance to play. Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports that McDaniel declined to reveal whether Achane's knee injury could require surgery, but said the issue is "not grave."

In Achane's looming absence, Raheem Mostert is slated to lead Miami's backfield, with Chris Brooks and Salvon Ahmed tentatively in line to serve in depth roles behind him.

  • Likely out multiple weeks

    Achane is expected to miss multiple weeks due to the knee injury he sustained in Miami's win over the Giants on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Achane's injury isn't believed to be season-ending, but it could sideline the electric rookie for a significant stretch. If the Dolphins end up placing him on IR, Achane will be forced to miss at least four games. The expected return of Jeff Wilson (ribs) to practice will at least do something to alleviate Achane's loss, but replacing the 2023 third-round pick -- who is averaging 151.7 rushing yards per game over the last three weeks -- will be easier said than done.

  • Knee injury being evaluated

    Coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that Achane is being evaluated for a knee injury sustained during Sunday's win over the Giants, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Achane rushed 11 times for 151 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 31-16 win over the Giants while also securing his only target for 14 yards, but he was forced off the field in the fourth quarter. If the electric rookie is forced to miss any time, Salvon Ahmed and/or Chris Brooks would have a chance to handle increased carries behind Raheem Mostert, who would stand to operate as the clear No. 1 option without Achane present. Meanwhile, Jeff Wilson (ribs) also appears slated to come off IR…read more

  • Strikes for big plays Sunday

    Achane rushed 11 times for 151 yards and a touchdown and brought in his only target for 14 yards in the Dolphins' 31-16 win over the Giants on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

    Analysis: Achane's blazing speed once again manifested itself against a helpless opponent, with the rookie taking a pitch and exploding up the left side for a 76-yard touchdown early in the second quarter. While that play accounted for just over half of Achane's rushing yardage tally for the day, he also averaged 7.5 yards per carry on his other 10 totes, a testament to his elite efficiency. Achane has now eclipsed the 100-yard mark in three consecutive games, gaining an astounding 455 yards and scoring…read more

  • Two more touchdowns in Week 4 loss

    Achane rushed eight times for 101 yards and two touchdowns and brought in three of five targets for 19 yards in the Dolphins' 48-20 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

    Analysis: The standout rookie recorded his fifth and sixth touchdowns in the last two games via three- and 10-yard scoring runs in the first and second quarters, respectively. Achane finished with one more carry and the same amount of targets as lead back Raheem Mostert, who committed two fumbles, but that also could have been partly a byproduct of game script. Nevertheless, Achane was easily the more effective of the two backs, so the division of labor in the ground attack will be one to watch in a Week…read more

  • Could get increased work

    Achane is expected to receive an increased workload in Sunday's game against the Bills while the Dolphins attempt to use him more frequently, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Schefter doesn't go into specifics regarding what exactly Achane's workload will look like or if starter Raheem Mostert will lose snaps as a result, but the two backs may operate in more of a timeshare Week 4 after the rookie turned in a breakout performance in his second NFL game in last Sunday's 70-20 win over the Broncos. Though Mostert turned in a strong effort in his own right with four touchdowns and 142 yards on 20 touches (13 carries, seven receptions), Achane outdid him with four…read more

    Achane rushed 18 times for 203 yards and two touchdowns and brought in all four targets for 30 yards and two more scores in the Dolphins' 70-20 win over the Broncos on Sunday.

    Analysis: Tasked with No. 2 running back duties as a result of Salvon Ahmed's absence due to a groin injury, Achane ended up making the most of a larger-than-expected workload that he had a role in creating by helping the Dolphins jump out to an insurmountable lead. The explosive rookie scored via both the run and air in the first half, recording an eight-yard first-quarter touchdown rush before finding the end zone on a nifty shovel pass from Tua Tagovailoa from four yards out in the second quarter.…read more

  • Could be No. 2 back Week 3

    Achane could serve as the top backup to starting running back Raheem Mostert in Sunday's game against the Broncos with Salvon Ahmed (groin) looking unlikely to play and with Jeff Wilson (ribs/finger) on injured reserve for at least two more games, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

    Analysis: After sitting out Week 1 while getting extra time to recover from a preseason shoulder injury, Achane made his NFL debut in the Dolphins' Week 2 win at New England. Though he handled only a limited role, Achane made the most of his five snaps on offense, carrying once for a five-yard gain and reeling in his lone target for a four-yard gain. Ahmed currently sits directly behind Mostert on the depth chart, but after missing practices Wednesday and Thursday, he appears to be trending toward…read more

    Head coach Mike McDaniel said Achane could serve as the top backup to starter Raheem Mostert in Sunday's game against the Broncos with Salvon Ahmed (groin) set to miss the Dolphins' first two practices of Week 3, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: McDaniel said Achane "did well with his opportunities" in his NFL debut Week 2 at New England, carrying once for a five-yard gain and reeling in his lone target for a four-yard gain across five snaps on offense. With Achane's preseason shoulder injury behind him, the rookie third-round pick could be in store for more touches Week 3 if Ahmed joins Jeff Wilson (abdomen) on the sideline.

  • Quiet pro debut

    Achane (shoulder) had one carry for five yards and caught his lone target for four yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Patriots.

    Analysis: Achane was able to make his NFL debut after missing the Dolphins' first game due to a shoulder injury sustained in the preseason. The third-round rookie was used sparingly as starter Raheem Mostert carried the offense with 121 rushing yards and two scores. Fellow backup Salvon Ahmed suffered a groin injury in Sunday's win, so Achane may see his role increase against the Broncos next Sunday.

    Analysis: Achane sat out Miami's Week 1 win over the Chargers, but the 2023 third-round pick is suiting up on SNF against the AFC East rival Patriots. Raheem Mostert -- who doesn't carry an injury designation after battling a knee injury earlier in the week -- is expected to lead Miami's backfield, but Achane's speed could allow him to find success in a change-of-pace role for an offense that remains without Jeff Wilson (abdomen).

Now that he's had some more time to practice, Achane should be ready to make his NFL debut this weekend at New England.

    Analysis: The rookie third-round pick out of Texas A&M doesn't approach the season opener with an injury designation after putting in full practices Wednesday through Friday, but the Dolphins will push back his NFL debut at least one week after Achane missed extensive time in the preseason after injuring his shoulder in an Aug. 19 exhibition against the Texans. With Achane on the sideline for Week 1, Salvon Ahmed should be locked in as the clear top backup to starting running back Raheem Mostert.

Raheem Mostert is expected to start and veteran backup Salvon Ahmed (back) also managed full practice participation Wednesday.

  • Sheds non-contact jersey

    Achane (shoulder) is practicing Monday without a red non-contact jersey, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Achane taking contact again represents a significant step forward in his recovery from a lingering shoulder injury. The rookie third-round pick will continue to do all he can to gain clearance for Sunday's game against the Chargers, as, with Jeff Wilson (abdomen) on IR, he would face significant opportunity if healthy. If Achane can't go Week 1, however, Salvon Ahmed (neck) could get a chance to work as the top backup to Raheem Mostert.

All three still have a week and a half to get ready for the Dolphins' Sept. 10 season opener against the Chargers, though it's difficult to discern what the backfield roles will look like apart from Raheem Mostert serving as the starter.

    Achane carried the ball 10 times for 25 yards and caught all four of his targets for 41 yards in Friday's preseason loss to the Falcons. He also gained 38 yards on one kickoff return.

    Analysis: The 2023 third-round pick flashed his elite speed and elusiveness on the opening kickoff, but Achane then had to watch veteran Myles Gaskin handle the lead role in the backfield into the second quarter. When he finally began to mix into the offense, Achane struggled on the ground, with his longest run going for only six yards, but he wound up leading Miami in catches and receiving yards.

    Achane (undisclosed) returned to practice Tuesday, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

    Analysis: Achane missed a few days of practice due to an undisclosed injury sustained Saturday, but he was back on the field in full uniform a couple days later. The undersized rookie has made a handful of highlight plays in training camp already, so it will be interesting to see what he's able to accomplish in preseason action. His first chance could come as early as Friday's contest against Atlanta.

    Head coach Mike McDaniel listed Achane as "day-to-day" after the running back didn't suit up for Saturday's practice due to an undisclosed injury, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

    Analysis: Achane has made an early impression with the Miami coaching staff even though the rookie third-round pick has yet to separate himself from veterans Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson. An absolute speed merchant, Achane projects to see a limited workload immediately and could grow into a larger role in the event Mostert and/or Wilson struggle to create explosive plays with their combined touches.

Of course, non-padded drills are exactly where the undersized speedster ought to dominate, but taking Achane's success with a grain of salt doesn't mean it should be ignored entirely.
