After two straight days of missing practice, Achane played in Week 15, showing that the injury isn't too serious.


When will De'Von Achane return?

At this point, De'Von Achane will likely play in the Miami Dolphins Week 16 game against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.

UPDATE: Mike McDaniel told reporters Achane will suit up against the Cowboys this weekend.

Although Achane didn't practice on Wednesday, it's likely for maintenance, as he also missed practice last week on Wednesday and Thursday. After he missed two practices last week, Achane had nine carries for 32 yards while adding 30 receiving yards on three receptions.

De'Von Achane has had a great rookie season, which has also caught the attention of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who said:

“I think the entire NFL can see it. Dude’s a special player. He understands ball like the back of his hand, and I think that is one of the coolest characteristics that I can say about someone like him, is he’s very soft-spoken, but he’s very smart, very intellectual when it comes to the X’s and O’s of understanding where to line up, where he needs to be in the timing of the play and things like that.

"I think that’s something that needs to be said because it’s hard, especially being in this offense. So he’s done a tremendous job, and I know he’ll continue to work hard and continue to do all he can to help us try to win games.”

If Achane can't go for some reason it will mean more carries for Raheem Mostert.
