Achane (toe/ribs) doesn't have an injury designation for Saturday's wild-card game against the Chiefs, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
As anticipated, Achane will be able to play through his pair of injuries Saturday after he concluded prep for the postseason opener with a full practice Thursday. Achane shined as the Dolphins' lead back over the final two weeks of the regular season, but it's unclear if he'll remain the No. 1 option in Kansas City. Raheem Mostert (knee/ankle) was sidelined for Weeks 17 and 18 and is listed as questionable for Saturday's contest, but he may be in a better spot on the health front after he was listed as a limited practice participant Tuesday through Thursday. Even if Mostert is active for the wild-card round, Achane should at least have a path to 10-to-15 touches in a change-of-pace role.

Achane (toe/ribs) is listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's injury report, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
The same goes for Raheem Mostert, whose status is actually in question following his absences for Weeks 17 and 18 due to ankle and knee injuries. Achane took 29 touches for 198 yards and two TDs the past two weeks, and he should be ready for Saturday's wild-card game against the Chiefs, be it as Miami's lead back or coming off the bench behind Mostert. The Dolphins should hold a more strenuous practice Thursday, after not practicing Tuesday and having a walk-through Wednesday.

Achane (toe/ribs) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Both Achane and Raheem Mostert (knee/ankle) were gauged as limited participants to kick off the week of prep ahead of Saturday's wild-card game against the Chiefs, but the latter's health seems to be the bigger question mark than the former's. Mostert sat out both of the Dolphins' final two games of the regular season while managing just one limited practice apiece leading up to those contests, enabling Achane to see two of his larger workloads of the season. Achane didn't sacrifice much efficiency with the added touches, as he carried 24 times for 163 yards (6.8 average) and a touchdown to go with five catches for 35 yards and another score in losses to the Ravens and Bills. The Dolphins have optimism that Mostert will be cleared to play Saturday in Kansas City, but Achane may have earned himself a larger share of the backfield pie based on how he finished out the regular season.

Achane rushed 10 times for 56 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-14 loss to Buffalo.
EDGE Analysis
Regular starter Raheem Mostert (knee/ankle) missed his second game in as many weeks due to multiple lower-body injuries, which opened the door for Achane to continue operating as Miami's lead back while also scoring the team's lone rushing touchdown Sunday. The explosive rookie unfathomably neared 1,000 combined yards from scrimmage (936) while scoring 10 total touchdowns despite spending a good portion of his 10 active games operating in a change-of pace role behind Mostert. Achane was already an exciting prospect in fantasy, but he could really put his name out there with a couple of big runs on the national stage against the Chiefs when the playoffs begin Saturday.

Achane (toe/ribs) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bills.
EDGE Analysis
Achane has been cleared to play in the regular-season finale after he was a full participant in Friday's practice. In the absence of Raheem Mostert (knee/ankle) in a Week 17 loss to the Ravens, the rookie paced the Miami backfield with 18 touches (14 carries, four catches) for 137 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown, but Achane could settle into more of a timeshare arrangement if Mostert is able to make it back for Sunday's game. Mostert is carrying a questionable tag into the Week 18 contest after not participating in practice sessions Wednesday and Thursday before returning to the field Friday as a limited participant.

Achane was a limited practice participant Thursday due to toe and rib injuries, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The rib issue is a new concern for Achane, though Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald relays that the injury nor the lingering toe concern are expected to prevent the rookie from playing Sunday versus Buffalo. Meanwhile, fellow running back Raheem Mostert (knee/ankle) was listed as a non-participant for the second day in a row and could be at risk of missing a second straight game this weekend. The Dolphins' final Week 18 injury report will be released Friday and will reveal whether Achane and/or Mostert carry designations into Sunday, but at this stage, the former looks like the better bet to headline the Miami backfield. While Mostert was sidelined for a 56-19 loss to the Ravens in Week 17, Achane played 32 snaps and finished with 137 yards from scrimmage and one touchdown on 18 touches (14 carries, four catches).

Achane was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to toe and rib injuries, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The rib issue is new for Achane, but he's been dealing with the toe injury for weeks. With Raheem Mostert (shin) sidelined for last week's 56-19 loss to the Ravens, Achane played 48 percent of the offensive snaps and carried 14 times for 107 yards while adding four catches for 30 yards and a touchdown on five targets. Achane will have two more chances to increase his practice participation ahead of Sunday's game against the Bills, but the early expectation is that the rookie running back will head into the weekend without any restrictions.

Achane rushed 14 times for 107 yards and secured four of five targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 56-19 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Achane led the Dolphins in rushing yards in the absence of Raheem Mostert (ankle/knee), outpacing backfield mate Jeff Wilson by 11 carries. The rookie also enjoyed a solid role in the passing game on the way to his fifth game with over 100 scrimmage yards. Achane could be poised for a critical role, whether or not Mostert is available, in Sunday's Week 18 home showdown against the Bills that will decide the AFC East title

Achane appears poised to lead the Dolphins backfield Sunday in Baltimore following a report from Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network that fellow running back Raheem Mostert (knee/ankle) isn't slated to be available for the contest.
EDGE Analysis
For a third consecutive week, Achane tended to a toe injury, ramping up his activity from none Wednesday to some one day later and then a full session Friday. The development was enough for him to avoid a Week 17 game designation, while Mostert's one limited practice to end the week left him questionable to suit up. Miami will be posting its inactive list about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, and assuming Mostert's name is included, Achane should take on No. 1 RB duties for the team, with Jeff Wilson and Chris Brooks in reserve roles.

Achane (toe) was a full participant in practice Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Achane's toe injury won't keep him off the field Sunday, but there is less certainty over the availability of fellow running back Raheem Mostert (knee/ankle), whose only practice participation all week came in the form of a limited session Friday. If Mostert plays, he'll likely see the majority of touches in Miami's backfield over Achane and Jeff Wilson. Achane has logged between eight and 12 touches in each of the last three games.
