De'Von Achane Sees Just Two Touches In NFL Debut
one year ago

Miami Dolphins rookie running back De'Von Achane didn't do much in his first NFL game in the Sunday night win over the division-rival New England Patriots, even with backup Salvon Ahmed (groin) getting injured in the contest. Achane finished the 24-17 victory with just one carry for five yards while catching his only target for a four-yard gain. He played just 10 percent of the offensive snaps, which was behind Raheem Mostert (73%), Alec Ingold (60%) and Ahmed (19%). The 21-year-old didn't play in the season opener due to a shoulder injury, but he's healthy now and could see a bigger workload in Week 3 against the Denver Broncos if Ahmed is unable to suit up. Even then, Achane is nothing more than a deep-league handcuff for Mostert as he eases his way into Miami's backfield.
