Miami Dolphins running back De’Von Achane, who underwent off-season shoulder surgery, is ready for training camp, coach Jeff Hafley announced Tuesday.
“He’s ready to go,” Hafley said in Miami Gardens, Fla., where veterans reported for the start of training camp.
Achane, who totaled a career-high 1,838 yards from scrimmage and 12 scores in 2025, missed the final game of the season due to his shoulder issue. He underwent a clean-up procedure this off-season and was limited in spring practices.
The Pro Bowl ball carrier, who signed a four-year, $64 million contract extension in May, is now set to join his teammates for their first full-squad practice Wednesday at the Baptist Health Training Complex.
Ollie Gordon II, Jaylen Wright, Anthony Hankerson, D.J. Herman, Donovan Edwards and Carlos Washington Jr. are the other running backs on the Dolphins training camp roster.
The Dolphins had the No. 13 rushing attack in the NFL in 2025.
Hafley also said Tuesday that offensive tackle Austin Jackson is cleared to participate. Jackson was rehabbing a foot injury.
The Dolphins’ first-year coach, who told reporters that all players passed the team’s conditioning test, provided injury updates on cornerbacks Storm Duck and Darrell Baker and wide receiver Chris Bell.
Hafley said it’s “up in the air,” when asked to say if Bell — a third-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft — would be out for weeks or months. He said Duck and Baker are “a little bit further off” and expects them to return “at some point” during the season.
The Dolphins will hold joint practices this preseason with the Washington Commanders and New York Giants. They will take on the Commanders in their preseason opener Aug. 14 in Landover, Md. Hafley and the Dolphins will take on the Las Vegas Raiders in their regular season opener Sept. 13 in Las Vegas.
