De'Von Achane ruled out with knee injury in Dolphins-Chiefs game
Key Points:
- Miami Dolphins star running back De'Von Achane left their Week 3 game against the Kansas City Chiefs early due to a knee injury sustained on a non-contact cut, and was ruled out for the remainder of the game.
- Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley indicated the injury may be serious, though further details are pending; Achane was able to walk off the field but did not return to play.
- Achane had 34 carries for 117 yards and seven receptions for 49 yards so far this season but is still seeking his first touchdown.
- Backup running back Ollie Gordon II also left the game with cramps, leaving Miami with limited and inexperienced options at running back.
- The Dolphins' depleted running back depth could hinder their offensive effectiveness moving forward without Achane's versatile presence.
