AFTER four games out, star running back De’Von Achane could soon be in line to make his long-awaited comeback for the Miami Dolphins.
The electrifying rookie out of Texas A&M has missed the Dolphins‘ last four games after suffering a knee injury in their 31-16 Week 5 win against the New York Giants.
But having had five weeks to recover, Achane could be back in time for their Week 11 game against the Las Vegas Raiders, according to Bleacher Report’s Jordan Schultz.
In a tweet on Thursday, Schultz said that Achane should be back for the game at Hard Rock Stadium “barring a setback.”
The Dolphins officially listed Achane as limited on their injury report on both Wednesday and Thursday.
Speaking to the media on Thursday, Dolphins offensive coordinator Frank Smith confirmed that Achane looks just as he had prior to his injury, as per Omar Kelly.
After missing their 36-34 win over the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 1, Achane made his debut the following game against the New England Patriots, rushing for just five yards on one carry as they won 24-17.
His breakout came in Week 1 when he rushed for 203 yards and two touchdowns as they demolished the Denver Broncos 70-20.
Achane went on to rush for another 101 and 151 yards in the next two games – losing 48-20 to the Buffalo Bills and beating the Giants 31-16 respectively – while adding another three touchdowns to his tally.
His incredible outing against the Broncos remains the best-rushing game in the NFL to date this season.
