Dolphins' Raheem Mostert out for TNF; De'Von Achane game-time call

The Miami Dolphins will be without running back Raheem Mostert for their Thursday night matchup against the Buffalo Bills due to a chest injury. Coach Mike McDaniel confirmed that Mostert missed all practices this week, which included walk-through sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday. This absence is significant as Mostert was the team's leading rusher last season. His injury occurred during the Dolphins' narrow 20-17 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1, where he managed only 19 total yards on eight touches. In addition to Mostert's injury, fellow running back De'Von Achane also faced challenges, missing practices earlier in the week due to an ankle injury. However, he returned to practice on Wednesday, leaving his status for the game uncertain. Achane had a notable performance against the Bills last season, rushing for 157 yards and scoring three touchdowns in two games. His potential absence would further strain the Dolphins' backfield options. If Achane is unable to play, the Dolphins may rely on veteran Jeff Wilson Jr. and rookie Jaylen Wright to fill the void. Wilson led the team in rushing yards during Week 1, while Wright was inactive for that game. The short week has limited the team's practice time, impacting their preparation for this crucial divisional matchup. The Dolphins are facing a tough challenge against the Bills, and the injuries to their key running backs could significantly affect their offensive strategy. The team will need to adapt quickly to ensure they remain competitive in this important game.
