Head coach Mike McDaniel said Achane could serve as the top backup to starter Raheem Mostert in Sunday's game against the Broncos with Salvon Ahmed (groin) set to miss the Dolphins' first two practices of Week 3, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
McDaniel said Achane "did well with his opportunities" in his NFL debut Week 2 at New England, carrying once for a five-yard gain and reeling in his lone target for a four-yard gain across five snaps on offense. With Achane's preseason shoulder injury behind him, the rookie third-round pick could be in store for more touches Week 3 if Ahmed joins Jeff Wilson (abdomen) on the sideline.
