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.

Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that Achane (knee) is day-to-day and hasn't been ruled out for Friday's game against the Jets, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
McDaniel confirmed that Achane is dealing with an injury to the same knee that recently caused him to spend four games on injured reserve before he was activated ahead of Sunday's 20-13 win over the Raiders, per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network. The coach added that Achane won't require surgery, but with the Dolphins facing a quick turnaround for their Week 12 game, the rookie running back may face an uphill battle to gain clearance for that contest. If Achane isn't able to play in New York, Raheem Mostert would be in line to lead Miami's backfield, with Salvon Ahmed and Jeff Wilson handling depth roles.

Coach Mike McDaniel said after Sunday's win against the Raiders that Achane's abbreviated outing was spurred by the running back's knee getting landed on, and the Dolphins exercised caution because it was the same knee that forced his recent IR stint, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Achane's Week 11 came to a close during the second quarter of Sunday's game, and while McDaniel received positive feedback from Miami's training staff regarding the rookie's knee, he didn't return despite his pleas to do so. As a result, Achane was contained to a disappointing one carry for one yard and one catch for four yards. There's a chance his activity level is impacted this week as the Dolphins prepare for Friday's road matchup with the Jets, but it doesn't appear as if he's in danger of missing that contest.

Achane was forced out of Sunday's game against the Raiders with a knee injury.
EDGE Analysis
It remains be seen if Achane's knee injury is an aggravation of the one he dealt with before coming off IR, or unrelated to that. Prior to his exit from Sunday's contest, Achane ran once for one yard and caught his only target for four yards.

Achane (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Raiders.
EDGE Analysis
Achane ended up spending the minimum four games on injured reserve with the knee issue that has sidelined him since Week 6. Following their Week 10 bye, the Dolphins cleared Achane to return to practice, and he turned in three limited sessions before taking a questionable tag into the weekend. The Dolphins ultimately reinstated Achane from IR on Saturday to formally add him to the 53-man roster, and the expectation is that the dynamic rookie will be a "full go" in his return to the lineup, per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network. The Dolphins' decision to make Jeff Wilson a healthy inactive further supports that notion, though Achane is still likely to share snaps out of the backfield with starter Raheem Mostert. Even so, Achane could make for a viable lineup option in his return after he led the NFL in yards per carry (12.1) and rushing yards per game (115) while accounting for seven touchdowns in four games prior to his absence.
