Reports: De’Von Achane to miss season with torn ACL

Miami Dolphins running back De’Von Achane is reported to have torn an ACL and to be out for the rest of the season, according to reports published September 28 citing NFL Network or multiple reports. The reports followed his first-quarter exit from Miami’s September 27 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The Dolphins have not directly confirmed the diagnosis in the supplied material. Achane left the game with a knee injury and was ruled out after initially being listed as questionable to return. He had three carries for 17 yards. Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley said after the game that the outlook did not sound optimistic, but declined to give a diagnosis before medical tests were completed. The injury occurred during Miami’s 24-10 home loss to Kansas City. Achane exited on the team’s first possession, and rookie Ollie Gordon II took over as the lead ballcarrier. Gordon finished with 17 rushing yards and a touchdown on 17 carries, according to one game report. The Dolphins also had running back Jaylen Wright inactive because of injuries, while Hafley said the team felt comfortable using receiver Malik Washington in a third spot.
