With Achane sidelined for at least the next week, and Alexander Mattison out for the season with a neck injury, the battle for the primary backup role shifts into focus. Ollie Gordon and Jaylen Wright are competing for snaps there, and they will get a lot of work in the meantime.

Dolphins running back De'Von Achane likely will miss this week of practice as he nurses a calf injury, coach Mike McDaniel said Monday. Achane was sidelined for Miami's preseason game against the Lions on Saturday and was held out of the second day of joint practices at Detroit.

“Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said Dolphins RB De’Von Achane is dealing with a calf injury and likely will not practice this week/ McDaniel said this is ‘preventative in nature’ especially because of how explosive of an athlete Achane is,” Louis-Jacques wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
