Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Practicing in non-contact jersey

Achane (shoulder) is taking part in practice Wednesday while sporting a red non-contact jersey, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

The fact that Achane hasn't been cleared to take contact isn't ideal but at least puts the rookie a step ahead of Jeff Wilson (undisclosed) and Salvon Ahmed (head), both of whom missed Wednesday's practice entirely. All three still have a week and a half to get ready for the Dolphins' Sept. 10 season opener against the Chargers, though it's difficult to discern what the backfield roles will look like apart from Raheem Mostert serving as the starter. Achane, a third-round pick, was deemed week-to-week with a shoulder injury following his early exit from an Aug. 19 preseason game against Houston. Wilson has been out for even longer, since Aug. 9, while Ahmed's injury is much more recent.
