Will Robert Hunt and De'Von Achane be able to play in Friday's game against the New York Jets?

Miami Dolphins starting right guard Robert Hunt has been sidelined for the past two games with a right hamstring injury. Hunt, who has never missed a game before this season, is eager to get back on the field. He has been working with a trainer during practice sessions and is hoping to be cleared to play in Friday's game. However, coach Mike McDaniel is cautious with injuries and wants to ensure the best players are available and healthy for the final stretch of the season. The decision to clear Hunt to play will depend on his progress and the medical staff's assessment of his injury.

In addition to Hunt, rookie running back De'Von Achane is also listed as questionable to play in Friday's game. Achane aggravated his knee injury in the previous game against the Las Vegas Raiders. He has been a limited participant in practice, and coach McDaniel has emphasized the importance of Achane's confidence and readiness to play.

If Hunt is not cleared to play, Liam Eichenberg will likely start as right guard. Eichenberg has held his own in previous games and will be called upon again if needed. The Dolphins have also elevated running back Darrynton Evans from the practice squad to provide depth at the position in case Achane is unable to play.

It remains to be seen whether Hunt and Achane will be able to take the field on Friday, but their availability will have a significant impact on the Dolphins' offensive lineup.
