Achane (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Washington, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE 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.

Coach Mike McDaniel said Friday that Achane (knee) will play Sunday against the Commanders, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It remains to be seen whether Achane is given an injury designation when Miami's Week 13 injury report comes out later Friday, but even if he winds up getting a questionable tag, the team plans for the rookie running back to make his return Sunday. 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.

Achane (knee) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
After sitting out the Dolphins' 34-13 win over the Jets last Friday, Achane has opened Week 13 prep with a pair of limited practices. Though the aggravation his knee injury doesn't look to be anything that will put him at risk of another stint on injured reserve, Achane may need to put in a full practice Friday to avoid a second straight missed game this Sunday in Washington. If Achane can't play, Jeff Wilson would likely be in line to work in a supporting role behind lead back Raheem Mostert (ankle/knee).

Achane (knee) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Achane also was listed as limited each day last week, after aggravating his knee injury in the first quarter of a Week 11 win over the Raiders. He ended up missing the Dolphins' 34-13 win over the Jets last Friday, but a return for this Sunday's game at Washington is possible given that the Dolphins reportedly aren't expecting him to be headed for another long-term absence. Jeff Wilson will likely serve as the top backup to Raheem Mostert (knee/ankle) again in the event Achane misses another game.

Achane (knee) is inactive for Friday's game against the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Achane approached the contest listed as questionable, but he'll sit out on a short week after the knee issue flared up just three snaps into his return from a four-game absence in this past Sunday's win over the Raiders. 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. Achane will now target a potential return to action Dec. 3 against the Commanders.

Achane (knee) isn't expected to play Friday against the Jets, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Achane is officially listed as questionable, but Pelissero indicates that the running back is trending toward missing the Week 12 contest after tweaking his knee in this past Sunday's 20-13 win over the Raiders in his return from a four-game absence. Assuming Achane is officially ruled out when Miami releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Friday's 3 p.m. ET kickoff, Raheem Mostert would be in line to lead Miami's backfield, with Jeff Wilson and Darrynton Evans also available to mix in.

Achane (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Jets, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site, Achane remained listed as limited on Thursday's practice estimate, and with the official questionable listing, the rookie running back's status for Friday's 3:00 pm ET kickoff is uncertain. If Achane is unavailable for the contest, Jeff Wilson and Darrynton Evans would be candidates to log complementary snaps behind Raheem Mostert (ankle/knee), who doesn't carry a Week 12 injury designation.

Achane (knee) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
For the second day in a row, Achane appears on Miami's injury report as a limited practice participant, though the running back was actually able to get on the field Wednesday after Tuesday's practice report was merely an estimate. According to Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald, head coach Mike McDaniel said earlier Wednesday that the team is comfortable with Achane from a medical standpoint after he played just a handful of snaps in this past Sunday's win over the Raiders before exiting with a knee issue, but the rookie running back still needs to regain more confidence in his health. To that end, McDaniel noted that Wednesday's practice was a "big day" for the Dolphins to assess Achane's status for Friday's game against the Jets, but the team won't determine whether Achane carries a Week 12 designation until Thursday.

Achane (knee) is slated to practice Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per Rapoport, head coach Mike McDaniel suggested that how Achane fares during Wednesday's session will determine how much (if at all) the running back will play Friday against the Jets. If Achane ends up sitting out Week 12 or is available only in a limited capacity, Raheem Mostert (ankle/knee) would likely remain busy as the Dolphins' lead back. Jeff Wilson, who was a healthy inactive in the Week 11 win over the Raiders, would also be a candidate to re-enter the backfield mix in a complementary role behind Mostert.

Achane (knee) was listed as limited on Tuesday's practice estimate, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
In his first game action since Week 5 this past Sunday versus the Raiders, Achane made an early exit after his knee was landed on. Coach Mike McDaniel told Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network that Achane was held out thereafter as a precaution because it was the same knee that forced the running back's stint on IR. On Monday, McDaniel called Achane "day-to-day" and wouldn't rule him out for Friday's game at the Jets, per Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel. With a limited walkthrough under his belt to begin Week 12 prep, Achane seems to have a chance to play later this week, but his activity level Wednesday and Thursday likely will have much sway on the Dolphins' upcoming decision. If Achane is limited or out Friday, Raheem Mostert will serve as Miami's top running back, with Jeff Wilson the likely main reserve after the team placed Salvon Ahmed (foot) on injured reserve Tuesday.
