Achane said Friday he's fully cleared the NFL's concussion protocol and is in line to suit up for Sunday's road matchup against the Colts, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Achane has been a full participant in practice coming off a Week 6 bye, and he's now on track to play Week 7 after having gained clearance from an independent neurologist. Including a Week 5 performance in which he handled just three carries before being forced off the field versus New England, the second-year pro has amassed just 63 rushing yards while averaging 2.3 YPC in his last three appearances. Now having shed his injury designation, Achane will have a chance to bounce back as the leader of Miami's backfield versus Indianapolis. While Raheem Mostert and Jaylen Wright represent threats to Achane's overall workload, Achane remains the No. 1 option in the Dolphins' talented running back room, a group that could see substantial work with Tyler Huntley still under center in place of Tua Tagovailoa (concussion).
