Achane (toe) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
After sitting out the Dolphins' first Week 17 practice session Wednesday, Achane took a step forward in terms of activity a day later. The Dolphins haven't suggested that Achane's lingering toe injury is anything that will seriously threaten his availability for Sunday's game against the Ravens, but fellow running back Raheem Mostert's (knee/ankle) status may be a little more uncertain. Mostert is still expected to play this weekend, but he was a non-participant in practices Wednesday and Thursday and could take a designation into Sunday if he doesn't return to the field Friday as a full participant.

Achane (toe) is participating in Thursday's practice, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Achane missed practice Wednesday due to a toe injury that's lingered in recent weeks, but which didn't keep him out of last Sunday's win over the Cowboys. Still, it's worth noting that Achane wasn't spotted working with his position group Thursday, per David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, meaning he likely won't take a full slate of reps. Raheem Mostert (ankle) scored versus Dallas but handled only 19 offensive snaps versus Achane's 35, so the health of Miami's backfield will be key to monitor heading into Sunday's road matchup against the Ravens.

Achane (toe) did not practice Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie running back has been dealing with the toe issue the last few weeks but has played through it. Achane paced the Miami backfield in playing time last week, seeing action on 55 percent of the snaps while Raheem Mostert missed time with a shin problem. Achane has handled single-digit carries in each of the last three contests, posting 7-47-0, 9-32-0 and 7-24-0 rushing lines in that span. Achane hasn't found the end zone since Week 12.

Achane (toe) rushed seven times for 24 yards and caught one of three targets for seven yards in Sunday's 22-20 win over the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
Achane didn't take part in a full practice at any point this week while nursing a toe injury, but he was healthy enough to get clearance prior to kickoff Sunday. The explosive rookie finished with eight touches to starter Raheem Mostert's 12, but the latter scored Miami's only offensive touchdown Sunday and finished with the better fantasy line. Assuming he didn't aggravate his toe, Achane figures to hover around double-digit touches in a road matchup against the Ravens on Dec. 31.

Achane (toe) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Cowboys, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Achane never took part in a full practice this week, but the Dolphins evidently came away encouraged enough from what they saw from the rookie in limited sessions Thursday and Friday to clear him for Sunday's contest. Since returning to action Week 13 following a one-game absence due to a knee issue, Achane hasn't played more than 59 percent of snaps in any of the ensuing three contests, but he's still produced 152 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 33 carries (4.6 average) to go with 11 catches for 84 yards during that stretch. Even though Raheem Mostert remains Option 1A out of the Miami backfield, the explosive Achane still sees enough touches to make for a high-upside weekly fantasy play.

Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Friday that he expects Achane (toe) to play Sunday gainst the Cowboys, Hal Habib of the Palm Beach Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
McDaniel mentioned that Achane has been playing through injuries in recent weeks, so there's a still a decent chance that the rookie running back will carry an injury designation into Sunday's game. Before the Dolphins decide whether or not Achane takes a questionable tag into the weekend, the coaching staff will see what he's able to do in Friday's practice. Regardless, Achane looks poised to play Sunday, as does Raheem Mostert (knee/ankle), whose absences from practices Wednesday and Thursday were deemed precautionary, according to McDaniel.

Achane (toe) was a limited participant Thursday in his return to practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Achane played through the same injury last week, taking 12 touches for 62 yards in a 30-0 win over the Jets. He's on the right track to play again this Sunday against the Cowboys, having returned to practice Thursday after what was seemingly a precautionary absence Wednesday. The rookie figures to continue mixing in behind Raheem Mostert, whose absences from practice Wednesday and Thursday don't seem especially concerning given that the Dolphins have often held him out this season and are listing 'rest' as one of the reasons for the veteran back missing practice this week.

Achane (toe) was on the field for practice Thursday, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Achane's presence at practice Thursday perhaps suggests that the running back's absence Wednesday may have been maintenance-related. The extent of Achane's participation in Thursday's session will be known when Miami releases its second Week 16 injury report later in the day.

Achane (toe) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice report, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Achane approached this past Sunday's 30-0 win over the Jets listed as questionable after having worked in a limited fashion Friday and ended up logging nine carries for 32 yards and three catches for 30 yards in the contest. With no reported setbacks since then, there's a decent chance that both Achane's and Raheem Mostert's (knee/ankle/veteran rest) listed DNPs to start the practice week ahead of this weekend's game against the Cowboys were maintenance-related.

Achane (toe) rushed nine times for 32 yards and caught all three of his targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 30-0 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Achane ceded goal-line opportunities to Raheem Mostert, who scored twice to raise his season rushing touchdown total to 18. Mostert had just 43 scrimmage yards on 17 touches, so neither speedy running back broke off many big plays. Achane's longest gain came on a 13-yard catch, though he also had a key play on the ground, converting on fourth-and-2 with a four-yard carry on the final play of the third quarter. Mostert has settled in as the top option in Miami's backfield heading into a Week 16 home game against the Cowboys, but Achane has handled a substantial complementary role when available.
