In this story:

Running back De'Von Achane indeed will be active for the Miami Dolphins' Week 2 game against the Buffalo Bills.

Achane was listed as questionable on the week's Dolphins' final injury report.

He will be one of the three running backs active against the Bills, along with veteran Jeff Wilson, Jr. and rookie fourth-round pick Jaylen Wright, who will be in line to make his NFL debut after being inactive for the 20-17 victory against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Fellow running back Raheem Mostert already had been ruled out because of his chest injury, and he'll be joined on the inactive list by rookie sixth-round pick Malik Washington, along with CB Ethan Bonner, LB Channing Tindall, LB Mohamed Kamara, and OL Andrew Meyer.

The only change on the inactive list from Week 1 is Wright being in the lineup instead of Mostert.

It's disappointing for Bonner and Tindall, the Dolphins' top 2022 draft pick. Meanwhile, Kamara will have to wait another week to make his NFL debut.

BUFFALO INACTIVE INFO

The Buffalo inactive list included the two players who were ruled out Wednesday, DB Taron Johnson and DE Dawuane Smoot, along with DE Javon Solomon, who was listed as doubtful on the week's final injury report.

The other Bills inactive were LB Joe Andreessen, T Ryan Van Demark, and LB Edefuan Ulofoshio.
