De'Von Achane's injury status

De'Von Achane enters the 2025 season as the Miami Dolphins starting running back. The Texas A&M Aggies product is proficient as a rusher and pass catcher on Mike McDaniel's team.

According to CBS Sports, Achane has been cleared to play on Sunday against the Colts. The pacey running back has shaken off a calf issue and doesn't carry an injury designation for Week 1.

Achane started the week on the injury report. He was a limited participant in Wednesday and Thursday's sessions, but featured fully on Friday. He's poised to get the bulk of the rushing workload in Week 1.

Darren Waller's injury status

Darren Waller came out of retirement to sign with the Miami Dolphins ahead of the 2025 regular season. However, Waller will not make his debut for the Dolphins in Week 1. According to CBS Sports, Waller has been ruled out of action due to a hip injury. The report adds that he suffered a hip strain this week.

Waller's absence opens the door for fellow tight ends Julian Hill and Tanner Conner to feature in Week 1. Both players could serve as interesting options for Tua Tagovailoa in the Colts showdown.

Jaylen Wright's injury status

Backup running back Jaylen Wright will not feature in Week 1's showdown with the Colts. Wright is dealing with a knee injury.

According to the Miami Dolphins website, Wright did not participate in any training sessions this week. That means he'll watch the season opener from the bench alongside other inactive players.
