Hill had been working through an oblique and calf injury, while Achane had a calf injury.

Miami head coach Mike McDaniel said on Friday that both players are “absolutely” on track to play in this game.
This was to be expected, with both players having been ramping up over the last week.
As Colts‘ defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo described recently, there is a ton of speed on this Miami offense. Hill posted back-to-back 1,700-plus seasons in 2022 and 2023, while Achane totaled nearly 1,000 rushing yards in 2024, along with averaging over 7.0 yards per attempt in 2023.
“Speed, speed, and more speed,” Lou Anarumo said of the Miami offense. “With the featured players that they have, everybody knows, Tyreek and certainly Jaylen Waddle, Achane, the back, you put those three together, you got a heck of a 4×1 team. I don’t care who the fourth element of it would be. They’re going to be far ahead. So they’re great players. They’ve put up big numbers in this league.”

While the Dolphins will have Hill and Achane, tight end Darren Waller is unlikely to play on Sunday, according to Cameron Wolfe, after sustaining a hip strain this week.
