Achane (concussion) wore a red non-contact jersey in practice Monday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's encouraging that Achane was on the practice field with his teammates Monday coming out of Miami's Week 6 bye, but he still has a few hurdles to clear in order to pass the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. He will need to upgrade to full practice participation at some point prior to Sunday's game against the Colts to have a chance to suit up. Raheem Mostert and Jaylen Wright would likely take on larger roles should Achane sit out due to the head injury that he sustained in the Week 5 win over the Patriots.

Achane won't return to Sunday's game against the Patriots after suffering a concussion.
EDGE Analysis
Achane thus finished the contest with three carries for 18 yards and one catch for minus-1 yard. In his absence versus New England, Raheem Mostert and Jaylen Wright are available to handle Miami's backfield duties. Achane will target a return to action Oct. 20 against the Colts, following the Dolphins' Week 6 bye.

Achane is being evaluated for a possible concussion during Sunday's game against the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
Prior to his exit, Achane carried three times for 18 yards and caught one pass for minus-1 yard. In his absence, Raheem Mostert and Jaylen Wright are available to handle Miami's backfield duties versus New England.

Achane rushed 10 times for 15 yards and brought in all three targets for 14 yards in the Dolphins' 31-12 loss to the Titans on Monday night.
EDGE Analysis
Achane's forgettable numbers were essentially a microcosm of the type of night it was for the Dolphins offense as a whole. The speedy back had a long run of only five yards and was repeatedly stymied, and both his rushing and receiving yardage totals were season lows. Achane logged just one more carry than rookie backfield mate Jaylen Wright, who played more than expected due to Raheem Mostert's (chest) inactive status and the fact Jeff Wilson suffered a knee injury in pregame warmups. Achane does have a favorable Week 5 matchup against the equally hapless Patriots this coming Sunday, but with Miami's quarterback situation also shaky irrespective of who's under center, it remains to be seen if he'll have enough running room to contribute meaningful numbers.

Achane rushed 11 times for 30 yards and secured three of five targets for 28 yards in the Dolphins' 24-3 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday. He also returned one kickoff for 32 yards.
EDGE Analysis
Achane once again served as the lead back due to Raheem Mostert (chest) being sidelined, but the speedy back was frequently stymied by Mike Macdonald's aggressive defense. Naturally, it didn't help Achane's cause that the Dolphins opened the game with Skylar Thompson at quarterback and finished with Tim Boyle after the former was knocked out of the contest with a rib injury. Achane will look for better results alongside whomever he shares the backfield with in a Week 4 Monday night home matchup against the Titans.

Achane rushed 22 times for 96 yards and secured all seven targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 31-10 loss to the Bills on Thursday night.
EDGE Analysis
Achane was the biggest part of the Dolphins offense on a troublesome night overall that saw Tua Tagovailoa exit with a concussion late in the third quarter. Miami struggled to move the ball all night even when Tagovailoa was in the contest, with the notable exception of the majority of times it was in Achane's hands. The explosive second-year pro scored his team's only touchdown on a five-yard reception in the first quarter, and he handled a career-high 22-carry workload well in the absence of Raheem Mostert (chest). Achane also has encouragingly drawn 14 targets over the first two games and caught all of them while averaging 10.4 yards per grab. Irrespective of who's under center, the heavy usage should continue for arguably the Dolphins' best all-around offensive player in a Week 3 road matchup versus the Seahawks on Sunday, Sept. 22.

Achane (ankle) is listed as active for Thursday night's game against the Bills.
EDGE Analysis
Achane was listed as a non-participant on the Dolphins' first two posted practice reports following the team's 20-17 win over the Jaguars this past Sunday, but he was able return to the field for Wednesday's walkthrough and deemed a limited participant. With his active status versus Buffalo confirmed and fellow RB Raheem Mostert (chest) inactive, Achane -- who carried 10 times for 24 yards and a TD and had seven catches for 76 yards against Jacksonville -- should have an opportunity to play a key role in Miami's Week 2 game plan in the absence of any limitations or in-game setbacks. Also in the team's backfield mix Thursday are Jeff Wilson and speedy fourth-round rookie Jaylen Wright, with both players likely to mix in as Achane works through his ankle issue.

Achane (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Bills, will have his availability determined based on how he fares in a pregame workout, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
After logging 17 touches in the Dolphins' Week 1 win over the Jaguars this past Sunday, Achane was listed as a non-participant on Miami's first two practice reports released Monday and Tuesday. He returned to the field for Wednesday's walk-through practice, albeit as a limited participant. Head coach Mike McDaniel termed Achane as a game-time decision prior to the practice session, but Rapoport relays that Dolphins came away encouraged by how the running back looked Wednesday and have optimism that he plays. Official word on Achane's status -- one way or the other -- won't arrive until the Dolphins release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Thursday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. If Achane gets the green light to play, he should draw the start with Raheem Mostert (chest) already ruled out, though the Dolphins may not be keen on having Achane handle a heavy workload on a short week. Jeff Wilson and Jaylen Wright are on hand as depth options in the backfield and are likely to take on elevated roles Thursday.

Achane was a limited participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice and is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Bills, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
After being listed as a non-participant on Miami's first two Week 2 practice reports, Achane was back on the field Wednesday. Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post relays that the second-year running back was moving around well during the portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, but head coach Mike McDaniel still labeled Achane a game-time decision for Thursday, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Meanwhile, Raheem Mostert (chest) has already been ruled out for Thursday, so Miami would be down its top two backs if Achane is included on the Dolphins' inactive list, which will be released 90 minutes prior to the game's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. Jeff Wilson and Jaylen Wright both look likely to have expanded roles Thursday in any case, though the extent of their involvement will depend heavily on whether Achane is out or limited.

Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Wednesday that Achane (ankle) is considered a game-time decision for Thursday's matchup against the Bills, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
McDaniel ruled out Raheem Mostert (chest) but was more guarded with respect to Achane's availability for Week 2. The second-year back was listed as a non-participant on the Dolphins' estimated practice reports for Monday and Tuesday, so much could hinge on how much activity he's able to handle during Wednesday's session. Though Mostert's absence would theoretically open up more reps for Achane if the latter is cleared to play, the Dolphins could instead choose to expand the roles of veteran Jeff Wilson and rookie fourth-round pick Jaylen Wright in order to keep Achane's workload in check.
