Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane has suffered a torn ACL, ending his season, NFL Network reported Monday morning. The injury occurred during Sunday's 24-10 home loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Miami head coach Jeff Hafley expressed concern about the severity of the injury after the game, stating, "To be honest with you, it does not sound optimistic." The loss of Achane, considered the team's best offensive playmaker, exacerbates the Dolphins' already difficult start to the season.
The Dolphins currently stand at 0-3 and are slated to face the undefeated Minnesota Vikings in Week 4. The team is already facing speculation about its win-loss record, and Achane's season-ending injury is likely to intensify those discussions.
