The Hard Rock Stadium will be soaring with the voice of 65,000 fans in just a few hours. A lot has transpired since the start of this season and the tension has led up to the Miami Dolphins and the Las Vegas Raiders match today. However, the Miami Dolphins have an extensive injury list that raises a lot of questions and is indicative of the amount of pressure on Tua Tagovailoa. The offense is in shambles and the presence of Tyreek Hill and De?Von Achane is in question.

The week 11 injury list couldn?t come at a worse time, especially when the team is so deep into the season. As for the Raiders, it looks like they are back in the game. With a changed management, the team is showing promise again. Maybe they will do the impossible against the fastest offense in the league.

In the massive injury list, Achane and Hill have become the point of interest. There was a lot of buzz around Achane when he got his knee injured in the week 5 game against the Giants. It was the same game that gave Daniel Jones a neck injury. The good news is that the RB might just return in time to play against the Raiders, per some sources. The Dolphins decided to activate him for the practice window on Monday and he has shown limited participation since then. The rookie RB is committed to making an impact and can?t wait to be back on the field.

Achane is an offensive powerhouse and has the highest carries in the NFL, which is 40 yards over 4 carries. The running back managed to maintain 12.1 yards per carry till the point he got injured. Knee injuries are hard to cope with and his return might not be as promising as it is expected to be. Mike McDaniel also gave his 2 cents on the situation, as Cameron Wolfe asked him what everyone wanted to know.
