Miami Dolphins head coach <a href="https://www.on3.com/rivals/coach/mike-mcdaniel-133671/">Mike McDaniel</a> gave an injury update on running back <a href="https://www.on3.com/rivals/devon-achane-36314/">De’Von Achane</a> on Saturday. <a href="https://x.com/CameronWolfe/status/1956829075495964884">Per Cameron Wolfe of the NFL Network,</a> Achane has a soft tissue lower-body injury that will keep him out between “days and weeks.” McDaniel told reporters he’s not worried about Achane missing the Dolphins’ season opener against the Indianapolis Colts next month.



De’Von Achane did not play in Saturday’s 24-17 preseason win over the Detroit Lions. The former <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/texas-am-aggies/">Texas A&M </a>star is entering his third season with Miami and is coming off a 2024 season in which he tallied 907 rushing yards, 592 receiving yards and 12 total touchdowns. 



Earlier this year, Mike McDaniel talked about Achane having a bigger role in 2025. “Year 3, I see a guy that understands a broader picture of not only how to be successful independently, but your independent success is helped by the collective success,” McDaniel said of Achane in May, per <a href="https://dolphinswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/dolphins/2025/05/28/devon-achane-dolphins-year-3-mike-mcdaniel-captain-leader/83906521007/">Jason Sarney of Dolphins Wire</a>. “Understanding the type of player he is and competitor, you hear his voice on the field.”

McDaniel added, “I think being a professional football (player) and ascending as a player, you understand that there’s a lot of different layers to that and development in that.  “We’ve seen who appeared on the surface as a quiet kid from Texas as a rookie find confidence and develop different ways that he can impact the game.”



The Dolphins selected Achane in the third round (No. 84 overall) in the 2023 NFL Draft. In his rookie season, Achane rushed for 800 yards and eight touchdowns in 11 games. He also caught 27 passes for 197 yards and three touchdowns. 



In his final season at Texas A&M, Achane was one of the top running backs in the country. The 23-year-old registered 1,102 and eight touchdowns in 10 games, while also catching 36 passes for 196 yards and three touchdowns in 2022. His production that season led to him being named to the All-SEC First Team.
