Jeff Hafley jokes about De'Von Achane's workload; clarifies comments

Miami Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley discussed running back De'Von Achane's expected workload earlier this week, suggesting he could handle 40-45 touches in a game, which he later clarified was a joke. Hafley's initial comments were met with surprise, leading him to emphasize his intent to lighten the mood instead. Achane performed well in his preseason opener against the Washington Commanders, recording seven carries for 39 yards and a touchdown. The high touch expectations underscore Achane's important role in the Dolphins' offense this season, with Hafley likely leaning on multiple touches per drive.
