Dolphins’ De’Von Achane active for ‘Thursday Night Football’ against the Bills

A key part of the Miami Dolphins offense is in play, with running back De’Von Achane set to play on “Thursday Night Football” against the Buffalo Bills. Achane was initially questionable for Thursday with an ankle injury.

The sophomore running back was seen warming up for the TNF game, having dealt with his injury before the game. Achane’s ankle injury was reportedly a sprain, according to NFL Network.

Achane, a versatile running back who can also play as a receiver, was limited in practice on Wednesday after sitting out Monday and Tuesday. He suffered the injury during the Dolphins’ Week 1 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. During Sunday’s game, Achane rushed for 24 yards and a touchdown while also catching seven targets for 76 yards.

The 22-year-old was selected by Miami in the third round of the 2023 draft and played in 11 games last season, including four as a starter. Achane missed a month of last season with a knee injury, but returned in November to help the Dolphins reach the playoffs.
