Hafley: All RBs 'going to have their roles'

NBC Sports • • sports

Key Points:

  • Miami Dolphins running back De’Von Achane suffered a serious knee injury in Week 3 and will miss the remainder of the season, leaving the team without its top playmaker amid a struggling offense ranked 31st in points per game.
  • Backup running back Ollie Gordon is expected to take on a larger role following Achane’s injury, with Jaylen Wright also a potential contributor if healthy, though the offense’s overall inefficiency limits their upside.
  • Los Angeles Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh publicly criticized quarterback Justin Herbert’s decision-making and indicated the team may simplify offensive schemes amid an 0-3 start, while affirming confidence in offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel despite struggles.
  • Philadelphia Eagles and Los Angeles Rams face multiple key player absences due to injuries, including Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert and Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson, with veteran Tyler Higbee positioned to take on a larger role for the Rams.
  • Tennessee Titans rookie guard Fernando Carmona will miss several weeks due to a sprained ankle, with backup Jackson Slater expected to start in his place as the Titans prepare for Week 4.
