Miami Gardens - The Miami Dolphins are facing concerns over the availability of their running backs as they prepare to take on the Buffalo Bills in a Thursday night showdown. De'Von Achane has been nursing an ankle injury, while Raheem Mostert recently suffered a chest injury.

During a press conference on Wednesday, Dolphins' head coach Mike McDaniel provided updates on the situation. Unfortunately for the Dolphins, Mostert has been ruled out for the upcoming game. Despite playing through considerable pain, Mostert's determination and perseverance served as an inspiring example for his teammates, according to McDaniel. While the timeframe for Mostert's recovery remains uncertain, it could potentially extend beyond a week.

As for Achane, the team will closely monitor his progress before making a final decision on his availability for the game. During Wednesday's practice, he appeared to be moving well, offering a glimmer of hope for Dolphins' fans.

Should Achane be unable to suit up, the Dolphins possess a formidable backfield with options like veteran Jeff Wilson, who played an integral role in securing a victory against the Jaguars last Sunday, and talented rookie Jaylen Wright, who has yet to make his NFL debut.

In addition to Achane and Mostert, the Dolphins' injury report includes Malik Washington (quadricep), Liam Eichenberg (shoulder), Jaelan Phillips (Achilles), Jalen Ramsey (hamstring), and David Long (finger). According to McDaniel, Eichenberg's injury is not a major concern.

On the other side of the field, the Bills are also dealing with their fair share of injuries. Cornerback Taron Johnson is expected to miss the game due to a forearm injury, while quarterback Josh Allen, who suffered a non-throwing hand injury, is reportedly fine and expected to play.

The Dolphins will be hoping for a positive outcome as they face a resilient Bills team. Despite the injury setbacks, the depth of the Dolphins' running back position offers some reassurance, while the team remains hopeful for Achane's return in time for the game.

As the Thursday night clash approaches, both teams will need to rely on their depth and adaptability to overcome the challenges posed by injuries. The Dolphins, in particular, will be eager to maintain the momentum gained from their successful Week 1 outing.

Stay tuned for more updates on the Miami Dolphins and their preparations for Thursday night's game against the Buffalo Bills.
