Overview

  • Achane was held out of Miami’s preseason win over the Detroit Lions after suffering a soft-tissue lower-body injury that McDaniel said will require an unspecified “days to weeks” recovery.
  • McDaniel indicated he isn’t concerned about Achane’s availability for the regular-season opener on Sept. 7 against the Colts.
  • Alexander Mattison’s season-ending neck injury has left the Dolphins with limited depth behind Achane.
  • Jaylen Wright and rookie Ollie Gordon II are expected to assume larger roles in the backfield while Achane recovers.
  • Achane entered the preseason aiming for 1,000 rushing yards and 500 receiving yards to anchor Miami’s offense.
