Overview
- ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Sunday that Achane and Waddle are not expected to suit up for the regular-season finale in New England.
- Achane sustained a shoulder injury in Week 17, missed all practices this week, and was listed as doubtful on Friday.
- The absence effectively ends Achane’s breakout 2025 campaign, which included a Pro Bowl nod and significant production as a runner and receiver.
- Jaylen Wright, Ollie Gordon II, Donovan Edwards, and Jeff Wilson are slated to handle Miami’s backfield duties.
- The Patriots need a win to keep a path to the AFC’s No. 1 seed, raising the stakes as Miami enters short-handed.
