Dolphins’ De’Von Achane Avoids Rib Fracture, Week 15 Status Trending Positive

An MRI showed no fracture, leaving Miami optimistic for his availability on Monday night in Pittsburgh.

Overview

  • Coach Mike McDaniel said Achane will receive treatment and likely limited practice, calling his availability for the Steelers game “looks good.”
  • Team officials said the injury occurred when Achane fell on the ball after a 29-yard run, and he could have returned in an emergency but was held out.
  • NFL Network and team reports indicate no fracture on the MRI with a day-to-day plan, and McDaniel described Achane as highly motivated to play.
  • Miami beat the Jets 34-10 for a fourth straight win behind a run-first approach that produced 239 rushing yards, with Jaylen Wright posting a career-high 107 yards and a touchdown after Achane exited.
  • The Dolphins’ defense has fueled the surge with six sacks and three takeaways against New York, strengthening a late-season playoff push as Miami moves to 6-7.
