It appears Dolphins running back De'Von Achane is likely to be available for Sunday's game against the Colts.
Achane (concussion protocol) has been a full participant at practice on Wednesday and Thursday. Head coach Mike McDaniel expressed optimism when asked about Achane in his Friday press conference.
"Would I say I’m optimistic? Absolutely," McDaniel said, via Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald. "But I do not have a crystal ball. Something can happen today."
Achane has rushed for 183 yards with a touchdown and caught 21 passes for 186 yards with a touchdown in five games so far this season.
McDaniel also noted that safety Jevon Holland (hand) is day-to-day and therefore may not play this week.
“You are trying to get work without making a vulnerable situation worse,” McDaniel said, via Kelly. “We will be very responsible with the long-term vision.”
In his fourth season, Holland has recorded 22 total tackles with a pair of passes defensed and a forced fumble so far this season.
Miami’s full injury report with game statuses will be released later on Friday.
