The Miami Dolphins, trailing the Raiders by a score, could face the rest of their Week 11 matchup without star wide receiver Tyreek Hill. After snagging a touchdown pass from quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, Hill took a hit to his wrist/hand area and quickly went to the locker room.

Though the league’s receiving leader was able to return to the field, the Dolphins called him questionable to return with a hand injury. Prior to the injury, he connected with Tagovailoa just outside the 20-yard line before running it in with his Cheetah speed for a score.

Hill was able to return to action with time ticking down in the first half in Miami.

Coming into the game, Hill had 69 receptions, 1,076 yards and eight touchdowns.

De’Von Achane questionable to return

Playing in his first game back from IR on Sunday against the Raiders, running back De’Von Achane suffered a knee injury in the first quarter and he is now questionable to return for the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins activated Achane’s practice window this week leading up to the home game then put him on the active roster for game day for the first time since Week 5.

Achane also suffered a knee injury in that Week 5 game against the Giants. The injury was severe enough to require a move to IR but he returned right on schedule after four missed games.

While he was out, the Dolphins won two games and lost two games. Fellow running back Raheem Mostert has 109 carries with 605 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns.

Prior to going out with the injury, Achane ran for 151 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries in the win over New York. At the time of his injury, he had 460 rushing yards, which was second in the NFL behind only Christian McCaffrey of the San Francisco 49ers in rushing yards through five games (510). The 21-year-old has just 38 carries so far this season. However, he also has seven touchdowns, including two receiving touchdowns.

Achane exploded in Week 3 prior to injury

The rookie third-rounder missed the first week of NFL games due to a shoulder injury that he sustained during the preseason. He worked his way back into the rotation by Week 2, carrying the ball just once for a five-yard game against the Patriots. The former Aggie had a breakout game in Week 3, posting two touchdowns on 18 carries, plus another two touchdowns on four receptions.
