Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Status hinges on pregame workout

Achane (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Bills, will have his availability determined based on how he fares in a pregame workout, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

After logging 17 touches in the Dolphins' Week 1 win over the Jaguars this past Sunday, Achane was listed as a non-participant on Miami's first two practice reports released Monday and Tuesday. He returned to the field for Wednesday's walk-through practice, albeit as a limited participant. Head coach Mike McDaniel termed Achane as a game-time decision prior to the practice session, but Rapoport relays that Dolphins came away encouraged by how the running back looked Wednesday and have optimism that he plays. Official word on Achane's status -- one way or the other -- won't arrive until the Dolphins release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Thursday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. If Achane gets the green light to play, he should draw the start with Raheem Mostert (chest) already ruled out, though the Dolphins may not be keen on having Achane handle a heavy workload on a short week. Jeff Wilson and Jaylen Wright are on hand as depth options in the backfield and are likely to take on elevated roles Thursday.
