De'Von Achane Won't Need Surgery, Listed As "Day-To-Day"

12 months ago

Miami Dolphins rookie running back De'Von Achane (knee), who aggravated his knee injury in the Week 11 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, will not need surgery, according to head coach Mike McDaniel. The Dolphins haven't ruled out Achane for this Friday's Week 12 contest against the New York Jets, but the team said he is "day-to-day." The Dolphins were exercising caution by removing the 22-year-old from Sunday's game, but on a short week, he's no lock to be active this Friday. Achane was playing in his first game since going on Injured Reserve after getting hurt in Week 5. His explosiveness and top-end speed give him plenty of fantasy upside when healthy, but his knee injury continues to cloud his rest-of-season outlook. Salvon Ahmed and Jeff Wilson Jr. will serve as complements to Raheem Mostert on Friday against the Jets if Achane is ruled out.
