Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa has cleared concussion protocol and will start this weekend's game vs. the Cardinals, HC Mike McDaniel said Friday. Miami has totaled just 40 points without Tagovailoa over the last four games. They averaged 27.9 points per game with Tua last year and are implied for 25 points against Arizona this week. Dolphins players are back to their early-season spots in our Week 8 Rankings.
Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is expected to practice next week, according to The Athletic's Dianna Russini. "As long as there are no setbacks, the hope is for Tagovailoa to play in the Week 8 game against the Arizona Cardinals," Russini adds. Tagovailoa has not had any lingering issues from his latest concussion, and Russini intimates that he's already cleared protocol. We'll track Tagovailoa's practice participation next week, but his return would obviously be excellent news for RB De'Von Achane, WR Tyreek Hill, and WR Jaylen Waddle. We'd take a crack at trading for those guys right now.
Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (concussion) put in a full week of practice and is not listed on the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Colts. Achane will be available for a full workload. He’s struggled to 2.6 yards per carry in three games without QB Tua Tagovailoa, but this is a get-right spot against an Indianapolis defense sitting 26th in adjusted fantasy points allowed to RBs.
Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Barring a setback, he'll be cleared to play vs. the Colts this weekend. Achane has struggled to 2.6 yards per carry in three games without QB Tua Tagovailoa, but this is a get-right spot against a Colts defense sitting 26th in adjusted fantasy points allowed to RBs.
Dolphins RB De'Von Achane left in the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Patriots for a concussion check. He's officially questionable to return. Stay tuned for an update.
Update: Achane has been ruled out. It's his first documented concussion. Raheem Mostert and Jaylen Wright will handle backfield duties the rest of the way.
There's a "real possibility" that Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is back for the Week 8 game against the Cardinals, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. That's when he's first eligible to come off IR after his latest concussion. Tagovailoa is reportedly symptom-free and has no plans to retire. RB De'Von Achane, WR Tyreek Hill, and WR Jaylen Waddle need Tua back to save their seasons. There's still no guarantee that Tagovailoa makes it back (or stays on the field if he does), but it's not a bad idea to make buy-low offers for Miami's skill guys right now.
Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel said Tuesday that QB Tyler Huntley will start this weekend's game vs. the Patriots. The Fins managed just 12 points with Huntley at the controls of Monday night's loss to the Titans. Huntley finished 14-of-22 (64%) for 96 yards (4.4 YPA), 0 TDs, and 0 INTs -- although Dolphins receivers dropped two passes. Huntley also ran for 40 yards and Miami's only TD.
Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert (chest) is inactive for tonight's game vs. the Titans. He's been limited in practice the past two weeks but evidently isn't ready for game action yet. Miami figures to continue using De'Von Achane in a feature role, with RBs Jaylen Wright and Jeff Wilson picking up scraps.
Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert (chest) is not expected to play vs. the Titans tonight, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. That'll again leave RB De'Von Achane in a workhorse role. He's totaled 33 carries and 12 targets with Mostert out the last two games. RBs Jaylen Wright and Jeff Wilson will be active behind Achane but are only in play as fliers in one or two-game DFS contests.
Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert (chest) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Seahawks. He put in three limited practices this week, so he should have a good chance of making it back for Week 4. RB De’Von Achane racked up 22 carries and seven targets with Mostert out last week and should be busy again today. RBs Jaylen Wright and Jeff Wilson are active behind Achane but aren’t fantasy options.
Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert (chest) is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game vs. the Seahawks. He put in three limited practices this week but evidently isn’t ready for game action. His absence should again leave workhorse duties to RB De’Von Achane, who racked up 22 carries and seven targets last week. RBs Jaylen Wright and Jeff Wilson will be active behind Achane but aren’t fantasy factors.
Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel said Friday that he's "pessimistic" RB Raheem Mostert (chest) will play vs. the Seahawks this weekend. Mostert has put in two limited practices so far this week and hasn't been ruled out yet. But fantasy owners should start preparing to be without him again in Week 3. We'll see how he's listed on the final injury report later today.
Dolphins QB Tua Tagaovailoa will meet with neurologists this week after sustaining another concussion in Thursday night's loss to the Bills, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. "Tagovailoa will be seeking their input into the severity of his latest concussion and the cumulative effect of the ones he has suffered in the past to make the most informed decision about his future," Schefter writes. Tagovailoa contemplated retiring after suffering multiple concussions in 2022, so we have to believe that's on his mind now. At a minimum, he's likely looking at a multi-game absence. The Dolphins will turn to QB Skylar Thompson at least for Week 3. We'll see what they add to the position. Free-agent QB Ryan Tannehill seems like the easiest short-term fix.
Dolphins RB De'Von Achane entered Thursday night's game vs. the Bills as questionable with an ankle injury. You wouldn't have known it watching the game. Achane was as explosive as ever -- and handled a big workload. He carried 22 times for 96 yards (4.4 YPC) and caught all seven of his targets for 69 yards and a score. The TD came from five yards out in the first quarter on a well-designed play. Achane ran a swing pattern to QB Tua Tagovailoa's right and had FB Alec Ingold swing out in front of him to block. Achane surprisingly remained in the game deep into the fourth quarter -- after Tagovailoa had exited with his concussion and WRs Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle had been pulled. It was a curious decision from HC Mike McDaniel, but Achane seemingly came out of the game without suffering a setback.
Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel didn't even want to talk about a potential timetable for return for QB Tua Tagovailoa after his latest concussion. "The furthest thing from my mind is what is the timeline," McDaniel said after the loss to the Bills. "We just need to evaluate and just worry about my teammate, like the rest of the guys are. We will get more information tomorrow and take it day by day from there." Tagovailoa was able to walk off the field under his own power, has movement in all extremities, and was "in good spirits" afterward, McDaniel said.
After being limited in practice all week with a Questionable tag, Dolphins RB De'Von Achane is active and starting tonight's game. With RB Raheem Mostert out for the game, RBs Jeffery Wilson and Jaylen Wright (both are also active) will also be included, but Achane should lead the way with no restrictions.
There's "optimism" about Dolphins RB De'Von Achane's availability for tonight's game against the Bills, according to NFL Network. Achane is listed as questionable after only getting in a limited practice on Wednesday. But Miami media noted that Achane didn't seem to be hobbled in the open portion of that Wednesday practice.
Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel announced Wednesday that RB Raheem Mostert will miss Thursday night's game against the Bills because of a chest injury. That leaves the backfield to De'Von Achane (if he plays) and Jeff Wilson Jr. -- and likely means Miami will activate rookie RB Jaylen Wright.
