Dolphins Sideline De’Von Achane in Final Preseason With Calf Injury

Coach Mike McDaniel calls the move preventive with plans to reassess Achane after the team returns to Miami

Overview

  • Achane will likely miss practice this week as a precaution against aggravating his calf strain.
  • McDaniel specified the issue as a calf injury after initially calling it a lower-body soft-tissue concern.
  • The Dolphins aim to evaluate Achane’s progress upon returning to Miami with hopes he plays in the Sept. 7 opener.
  • Miami’s running-back depth has been tested further by Alexander Mattison’s season-ending neck surgery.
  • Jaylen Wright and rookie Ollie Gordon II are set to receive expanded workloads as they vie for secondary back roles.
