Overview
- Coach Jeff Hafley revealed May 27 that Achane had offseason shoulder surgery and is rehabbing, so he has been doing light drills at OTAs and will not take part in full-team work.
- Miami signed Achane to a multi-year extension this month that ranks him among the league's highest-paid young running backs and signals the new regime views him as a foundational piece.
- Achane says he expects to carry a bigger workload after the deal and the club projects him as the primary offensive weapon if he stays healthy.
- The Dolphins have added and auditioned backs, including Carlos Washington Jr. and a reported workout for free agent Zamir White, as they work to protect the roster during Achane's recovery.
- Achane's breakout 2025 season — 1,350 rushing yards, a 5.7 yards-per-carry league lead, 67 catches and a Pro Bowl nod — explains Miami's decision to extend him and means his health will shape the team's early-season plans and roster moves.
