Miami Dolphins running back De’Von Achane is set to make a triumphant return to the field after being activated from injured reserve for the upcoming clash against the Las Vegas Raiders. The talented rookie, selected in the fourth round of the 2023 draft, had showcased an impressive performance in Weeks 3 through 5, accumulating 460 rushing yards and scoring seven touchdowns. His standout display in Week 3, amassing 233 total yards and four touchdowns, earned him the prestigious title of AFC Offensive Player of the Week.
Unfortunately, Achane’s promising run came to a temporary halt after Week 5 when he was placed on injured reserve due to a knee injury. Described by Coach McDaniel as more of a sprain than a tear, the decision to prioritize caution over immediate return was made, showcasing the team’s commitment to the long-term well-being of their talented rookie. McDaniel praised Achane’s work ethic and dedication to the team, qualities that are expected to significantly contribute to the AFC East-leading Dolphins in the latter part of the season.
Despite his rookie status, Achane has seamlessly integrated into the team’s dynamics, earning the respect of the locker room. His return brings anticipation and excitement for the Dolphins as they aim to further solidify their position in the division.
In addition to Achane’s return, the Dolphins bolstered their roster by signing wide receiver Robbie Chosen to the practice squad. This strategic move aims to enhance the team’s depth and options as they prepare for the upcoming challenge against the Las Vegas Raiders. Chosen, swiftly elevated to the active roster, adds further dynamism to the team’s offensive arsenal, creating additional possibilities for success in the upcoming game.
