Achane (shoulder) gathered in all four targets during Tuesday's Pro Bowl flag football game.
EDGE Analysis
Achane didn't play Week 18 at New England due to a shoulder injury, but before his only absence of the 2025 regular season, he netted a career-high 1,838 yards from scrimmage (sixth in the NFL) and 12 total TDs (12th) on 305 touches (ninth) in 16 contests. With top WR Tyreek Hill sidelined following his gruesome knee injury from Week 4, Achane served as the centerpiece of the Dolphins offense. Miami has moved on from Mike McDaniel to Jeff Hafley as the team's head coach, but the latter likely will continue to lean on Achane as the running back enters the final year of his rookie contract in 2026.

Achane (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
As was expected after the Dolphins listed him as doubtful on their final injury report of the season, Achane will ultimately sit out Sunday while he nurses what's believed to be a minor shoulder injury. With Achane in street clothes, Miami will have Jaylen Wright, Ollie Gordon, Donovan Edwards and Jeff Wilson as its available running backs for Week 18. Achane will conclude his third NFL season with a career-high 1,350 rushing yards (5.7 per carry) to go with 67 catches for 488 yards and 12 total touchdowns over 16 games.

Achane (shoulder) is officially listed as doubtful for Sunday's season finale against the Patriots, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Achane has missed three consecutive practices due to a shoulder injury and will be considered a game-time decision for Week 18, per Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald. With the Dolphins already eliminated from playoff contention, the team may opt to err on the side of caution with the health of Achane, who arguably is the club's top playmaker on offense. He hasn't yet missed a game in 2025, and across 16 regular-season appearances the undersized ball carrier leads Miami's offense with 1,838 yards from scrimmage, which is fifth most in the NFL. If Achane is inactive Sunday, Jaylen Wright likely will start out of the backfield while Ollie Gordon and new signee Donovan Edwards contribute in depth roles. Achane's status will be made official no later than 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Achane (shoulder) will not practice Friday and will be considered a game-time decision for Sunday's season finale against the Patriots, Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Achane is seemingly trending toward receiving an official 'questionable' tag with the release of Friday's injury report, though McDaniel noted that Miami typically holds players who are unable to close the practice week with any on-field reps out of game action, per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald. Meanwhile, the Dolphins are placing TE Darren Waller (groin) on IR on Friday, while WRJaylen Waddle (ribs) will practice in a limited capacity and be listed as questionable. With Miami already well out of playoff contention, the team could simply opt to take a cautious approach and preserve Achane's health. In that case, Jaylen Wright would stand to lead the team's backfield Week 18, while rookie Ollie Gordon would step into the No. 2 role, with newcomer Donovan Edwards also potentially available to mix in.

Achane (shoulder) did not practice Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Achane is missing a second consecutive practice due to a shoulder injury, giving him just one more chance to handle on-field reps ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Patriots. If the star playmaker is unable to suit up Week 18, Jaylen Wright will figure to lead Miami's backfield on the road against New England, while Ollie Gordon will also stand to inherit an increased role on offense.

Achane missed Wednesday's practice with a shoulder injury, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
There was no clear sign of trouble during Sunday's 20-18 win over Tampa Bay, with Achane taking carries deep into the fourth quarter and ultimately finishing with 21 touches on a 74 percent snap share. He's up to 1,838 yards from scrimmage on the season, having yet to miss a game. Jaylen Wright has been Miami's No. 2 RB of late, ahead of Ollie Gordon.

Achane rushed 18 times for 83 yards and brought in all three targets for 29 yards in the Dolphins' 20-17 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Achane set the pace for the Dolphins' ground attack as usual and collected some solid gains against a stout Buccaneers run defense. The versatile back also made his customary contributions in the passing game, and Achane will look to put a stamp on what is already a career-best season in a Week 18 road matchup against the Patriots.

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.
EDGE 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.

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.
EDGE 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 against the Bengals on Sunday.

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.
EDGE 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 up the ninth-most rushing yards to running backs through 13 games this season.
