Dolphins Expect De'Von Achane To Practice Next Week
9 months agoMiami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said that he expects rookie running back De'Von Achane (shoulder) to be ready to practice next week as the team prepares for their Week 1 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Achane was seen wearing a non-contact jersey at practice on Wednesday, and it looks like the team is taking it slow with the 21-year-old third-rounder heading into the regular season. Raheem Mostert is the starter in this backfield, but Achane just became more interesting as a late-round flier in fantasy drafts with the Dolphins putting Jeff Wilson Jr. (undisclosed) on Injured Reserve on Thursday. Salvon Ahmed (head) is also dealing with an injury, so Miami's backfield is a bit beat up to open the year.
