The Miami Dolphins are set to play the Pittsburgh Steelers in primetime of Week 15.

Miami is looking to make a playoff push with arguably their best player, running back De'Von Achane, having been cleared to play on "Monday Night Football."

Achane has been leading the Dolphins offense alongside several other playmakers like Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill throughout his career.

While he received some great news on his availibility for the "Monday Night Football" game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, De'Von Achance was also recently hit with a major fine.

After the NFL league office reviewed previous film from the prior week, they released the gameday operations fines for several players across the league.

Achane received an $8,238 fine for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty against the New York Jets. The Miami Dolphins running back received the fine for a "violent gesture" which happened in the first quarter of the 34-10 victory.

De'Von Achane is one of the three Miami Dolphins player to receive a penalty for his involvement in an illegal act against the New York Jets.

Ashtyn Davis and Jaylen Wright also received fines. Davis was dealt a $13,611 fine for unnecessary roughness while Wright was dealt a $6,388 fine also for violent gesture.

These players will have a chance to appeal their fines ahead of their matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 15.
