The Miami Dolphins activated rookie running back De’Von Achane off injured reserve Saturday ahead of their Sunday game against the Las Vegas Raiders, according to various reports.
Achane missed the last four games with a knee injury sustained Oct. 8 against the New York Giants and got an extra week to recover with the team’s bye week following its Nov. 5 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said Friday he was optimistic about activating Achane when he spoke ahead of the day’s practice, but he wouldn’t commit on the decision until he saw the rookie make it through Friday drills.
Achane provides a boost to Miami’s run game, as he can work in with Raheem Mostert in the backfield. In four games, Achane averaged a whopping 12.1 yards per carry with 460 rushing yards.
Miami doesn’t need to make a corresponding move as it had an open roster spot after waiving wide receiver Robbie Chosen on Thursday.
