Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel revealed his expectation for running back De'Von Achane when it comes to him playing in Week 15 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The NFL has fined Dolphins running backs De'Von Achane and Jaylen Wright for a "violent gesture" following Achane's first-quarter, 13-yard touchdown run against the Jets. Achane was fined $8,238; Wright was fined $6,388.

Achane suffered a ribs injury in the team's Week 14 victory against the New York Jets after falling on the football. While the running back exited to the locker room in the second quarter and didn't play in the remainder of the game, McDaniel said that Achane was available to return, if needed.
