The Miami Dolphins are trying to keep some of their key players fresh for when the regular season starts. De'Von Achane was big for the Dolphins last season, and he's currently dealing with a calf injury, which has led the team to sit him out of practice this week, according to ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques.
“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.
This is a good idea from the Dolphins, and the hope is that he's ready when the season starts in the next few weeks.
