RB De’Von Achane

(How are you feeling? Have you had any symptoms at all, concussion symptoms through the process?) – “No, I’m good. I haven’t had any symptoms really since Day 2, for real. Ever since it happened, I hadn’t had no symptoms then. I’ve been feeling good, feeling great, feeling back to normal.”

(Are you going to play on Sunday?) – “I’m hoping so. I should. I just, like you said, cleared protocol so I’m good to go.”

(You did? You cleared protocol officially?) – “Yeah.”

(What is that process like? Being able to practice but still not being back until the doctors say so?) – “Yeah, basically. You do a lot of brain stuff, so it’s basically like you’re back in school going through steps and a lot of memorization stuff. But it isn’t too intense, it’s just regular.”

(It’s not like you got wires and stuff…) – “Yeah, it ain’t all that. (laughter)”

(Are you going to miss at all the heavy workload you had against Buffalo now that RB Raheem Mostert is back? It’s going to be more of a split-carry thing I would guess.) – “I wouldn’t say I would miss it, I mean, it doesn’t matter who’s out there. I feel like whoever goes out there can do for this team, so like you said, it’s good to have him back. It’s just more bodies and more talent on the field.”

(What would it mean to have a full stable of running backs, all healthy for the first time since Week 1?) – “It’s good. So that means a defense can’t just kill one of us because like you said, all of us are healthy now. So any one of us can go in there and make plays and do what’s best for the team.”

(Has RB Jaylen Wright ever picked your brain about, “you were able to do this as a rookie, what are some tips on how to make an impact in Year 1?”) – “I feel like we all do that. Even though we’re not a rookie like him, I feel like we all still ask each other questions about what you’ve seen or what I could do. Everybody’s different, everybody sees different things. So I feel like just because he’s a rookie, I ask him stuff, he asks me stuff, we ask ‘Heem’ (Raheem Mostert), ‘Heem’ asks us. It’s not like, ‘oh, he’s a rookie so he’s just the one that asks us,’ I feel like as a group, we ask each other.”

(What was your impression on how they played after you left the New England game?) – “I feel like they played great, him (Jaylen Wright) and ‘Heem’ (Raheem Mostert). Like you said, we ran the ball 40-something times, so that tells you a lot that we are able to run the ball and even get our fullback (Alec Ingold) involved because he was out there doing a lot. So for him to score the touchdown, that meant a lot for us.”
