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.

Achane (toe) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Achane approached the contest listed as questionable after having been estimated as a non-participant Wednesday and Thursday, before working in a limited fashion Friday. Now that the dynamic rookie's active status has been confirmed, Achane will be available to continue to work in tandem with fellow RB Raheem Mostert. Even in a context in which the two work in some form of a time-share scenario, Achane has enough playmaking ability to yield fantasy dividends in Week 15, assuming no in-game limitations or setbacks.

Achane (toe) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets after logging a limited practice Friday, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
After having been estimated as a non-participant Wednesday and Thursday, Achane was able to work in a limited fashion Friday, which gives him a chance to suit up this weekend. Ideally, added context regarding Achane's Week 15 status will arrive as Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff approaches, but if he ends up limited or out versus New York, Jeff Wilson would be in line to log added backfield work behind Raheem Mostert (knee).

Achane (toe) was listed as a non-participant for Thursday's walk-through practice, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Achane now has been estimated as a non-participant on both of the Dolphins' first two Week 15 injury report, and head coach Mike McDaniel noted prior to Thursday's session that the rookie running back is an "unknown" for Sunday's game against the Jets at this stage of the week, per Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald. The Dolphins are likely to hold a more traditional practice Friday, and if Achane is able to get back on the field in some capacity, he could clear up some of the concern about his status heading into Sunday. If Achane ends up sitting out against the Jets, starter Raheem Mostert (knee) could handle a larger share of the snaps out of the backfield, while Jeff Wilson would likely be in store for an expanded role as the No. 2 option.

Achane was estimated as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice report due to a toe injury.
EDGE Analysis
Achane appeared on the Dolphins' Week 14 injury report due to a rib issue, though he was listed as a full practice participant Thursday through Saturday before he played 31 snaps and finished with 71 yards from scrimmage on 12 touches (seven carries, five receptions) in a 28-27 loss to Tennessee on Monday. The rookie running back is tending to a new injury Week 15, and unlike last week, he'll end up missing some practice reps as a result. If Achane is able to get back on the field in some capacity Thursday or Friday, it would assuage some of the concern about his health heading into Sunday's game against the Jets.

Achane rushed seven times for 47 yards while catching five of nine targets for 24 yards in Monday's 28-27 loss to the Titans.
EDGE Analysis
Achane played second fiddle on the ground to Raheem Mostert, who rushed 21 times for 96 yards and two touchdowns. The rookie running back actually led Miami in targets as star receiver Tyreek Hill was in and out of the game with an ankle injury, but Achane wasn't nearly as effective at getting into the open field without a healthy Hill on hand to divert the defense's attention. This was the first time in seven NFL appearances that Achane finished with double digits in yards from scrimmage, as he previously had two games with fewer than 10 and four with over 100. He'll likely continue to work in a prominent change-of-pace role behind Mostert in Week 15 against the Jets.

Achane rushed 17 times for 73 yards and two touchdowns and brought in three of four targets for 30 yards in the Dolphins' 45-15 win over the Commanders on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Making his return from a near two-game absence due to a reoccurrence of the knee injury that had led to a four-game stint on injured reserve, Achane was sparingly used early but saw his opportunity ramp up as the Dolphins expanded their lead. Achane ultimately garnered eight more touches than backfield mate Raheem Mostert, although that appeared to be the byproduct of game script. Nevertheless, Achane's electric speed is difficult to keep off the field, so he'll enjoy a solid complementary role, at minimum, in a Week 14 Monday night home matchup against the Titans on Dec. 11.

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.
