Will Injuries Haunt the Miami Dolphins With Key Losses in Both Offense & Defense Ahead of Commanders Clash?

With multiple injuries littering the Miami Dolphins camp, will it prove to be damaging to their Super Bowl dreams? With back-to-back victories and an 8-3 record, they are currently leading the AFC East division. A key offensive weapon, De’Von Achane, had just returned from being sidelined for 5 weeks. But in the last game, he injured himself again. Will he be able to return to the Sunday game?

The injury list now seems to be longer than a grocery shopping list. But will they mange to power through all the gloom and doom, and in the upcoming game manage to beat the Washington Commanders?

De’Von Achane set to return to the Gridiron

Achane had missed the Sunday win over the New York Jets due to an aggravated knee injury in the game against the Las Vegas Raiders. His knee has a history of being the proverbial pebble in his shoe. In Week 5, when he suffered his first knee injury, the rookie had to be placed on the injured reserve for 5 weeks.

De’Von Achane has emerged as the team’s second-best running back with 461 yards and 7 touchdowns in the 5 games that he has played. The 22-year-old holds the NFL record for his 11.8  yards per carry statistic. Now with him back on the gridiron, he and Raheem Mostert can partner up once again to become the feared “double trouble” for the Commanders.

On the offensive side, WR Tyreek Hill was limited in practice for two consecutive days but hasn’t been stated as “questionable”. Raheem Mostert also similarly avoided the “questionable” tag. The two have mostly dominated the Dolphins’ offense. The duo account for 48.3% of the total yards from scrimmage and 59.5% of offensive TDs.
