Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Efficient in two-way role Monday
De'Von Achane rushed 12 times for 60 yards and brought in all six targets for 67 yards in the Miami Dolphins' 28-15 loss to the Steelers on Monday night.Achane led the Dolphins in both rushing and receiving yards on the night, with his pass-catching work taking center stage in the second half due to Miami's deficit. His rushing workload bumped up by five carries over Week 14 against the Jets, a contest that he left early due to a rib injury, and his receiving yardage total was his second highest of the season behind only his 92-yard effort Week 2 against the Patriots. Achane should remain virtually game-script-proof in a Week 16 home matchup against the Bengals on Sunday.

Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Clear of injury designation for MNF
De'Von Achane (ribs) does not have an injury designation for Monday's Week 15 game against Pittsburgh, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.Miami coach Mike McDaniel said earlier Saturday that he expected Achane to play Monday, and the star running back's lack of an injury designation on the team's final practice report makes that expectation a reality. In fact, Achane was able to practice in full Saturday after being limited the previous two days, so he may not have any restrictions (aside from possibly wearing some extra padding to protect his ribs). Achane could be primed for a big game against a Steelers defense that has given up the ninth-most rushing yards to running backs through 13 games this season and will be without star player T.J. Watt (lung).

Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Expected to play Monday
Head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Saturday that he expects De'Von Achane (ribs) to play against the Steelers on Monday, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.Achane was a limited practice participant Thursday and Friday while donning a red non-contact jersey in both sessions. Per Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post, Achane is testing out different forms of equipment to protect his ribs, and while Saturday's injury report has yet to come out, the expectation is that the third-year running back suits up for Monday night's game. If Achane is unable to play or operates on a snap count, then Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon would be in line for expanded roles out of the backfield.

Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Another limited practice
De'Von Achane (ribs) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.Achane wore a red non-contact jersey at practice Friday, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports, but he appeared to be running at full speed without signs of discomfort. Per Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post, the standout running back is testing forms of protective equipment he could use to guard his ribs during Monday's road matchup against the Steelers, while Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports that the Miami Dolphins do expect Achane to be available Week 15. That said, after the impressive showing Jaylen Wright logged Week 14, Miami could opt to assign Achane less touches than his workhorse role usually entails, even if he's active. He'll have one final chance to handle contact reps at Saturday's practice.

Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Slated to be limited Thursday
De'Von Achane (ribs) will be limited at Thursday's practice, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.Per Louis-Jacques, Achane will wear a red (non-contact) jersey during Thursday's session, with coach Mike McDaniel noting that "it'll be a gradual increase in activity and physicality" for the running back as the week progresses, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Achane has two more chances to upgrade to full participation before Miami assigns Week 15 game statuses Saturday. If Achane ends up limited or out Monday night against the Steelers, however, Jaylen Wright would be next in line for added backfield touches, with Ollie Gordon also mixing in.

Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Practice this week TBD
De'Von Achane (ribs) could be held out of some practice sessions this week, according to C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald.Achane underwent an MRI after sustaining a rib injury in Sunday's victory over the Jets. Although it was determined the running back is not dealing with a serious setback, head coach Mike McDaniel revealed that Achane "needs treatment," which could affect his practice participation this week. Miami will face Pittsburgh on Monday night in Week 15, so while that will afford Achane more rest, it will also likely delay the next official update on the running back's status until Thursday.

Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Could have returned Sunday, per coach
Coach Mike McDaniel noted after Sunday's 34-10 win over the Jets that De'Von Achane (rib) was available to return to return to the contest in an emergency, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.McDaniel acknowledged that Achane was hurting after exiting the game with a rib issue, but it looks like the running back has a chance to avoid missing further game action, given that he did not suffer a fracture, per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network. That said, we'd expect Achane's name to appear on Miami's injury report ahead of the team's Nov. 15 game against the Steelers. With Achane logging just seven carries Sunday, Jaylen Wright saw added work, carrying 24 times for 107 yards and a TD, while Ollie Gordon mixed in with five carries for 17 yards and a TD.

Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Over 100 yards again Sunday
De'Von Achane rushed 22 times for 134 yards and a touchdown while failing to bring in his only target in the Miami Dolphins' 21-17 win over the Saints on Sunday.Achane finished with his second-highest rushing yardage total of the campaign with the help of three double-digit-yardage runs, including a 29-yard scoring scamper to cap off the opening possession of the contest. Achane's rushing volume has unsurprisingly ticked up over the course of the season as the Dolphins manage the absence of Tyreek Hill (IR, knee), and the explosive back now has three straight games with 21 or more carries heading into a Week 14 road matchup against the Jets.

Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Eclipses century mark in OT win
De'Von Achane rushed 21 times for 120 yards and brought in all five targets for 45 yards in the Miami Dolphins' 16-13 overtime victory over the Commanders in Madrid on Sunday.Achane put together a signature two-way performance, repeatedly picking up meaningful yardage on the ground while recording a game-long run of a relatively modest 23 yards. The speedy third-year pro did get evaluated for a possible back injury in the fourth quarter, but he was able to return to the game and handled all three carries on the Dolphins' game-winning drive to set up Riley Patterson's 29-yard field goal. Achane now has back-to-back 100-yard efforts on the ground for the first time this season, and he's recorded at least five catches in four consecutive contests heading into a Week 13 home matchup against the Saints on Sunday, Nov. 30.
