Achane injury outlook unclear after Hafley’s pessimistic assessment
The Miami running back left the Dolphins’ 24–10 loss to Kansas City in the first quarter. Coach Jeff Hafley said the outlook was not optimistic, but no diagnosis or recovery timeline was provided.
De’Von Achane left Miami’s 24–10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs with a knee injury in the first quarter and did not return. Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley later said the outlook “does not sound optimistic”, according to Fox Sports, citing NFL Network.
Achane was assessed during the game and ruled out for the remainder. He finished with 17 yards on three carries. Ollie Gordon took over as Miami’s lead ball-carrier.
The supplied report gives no diagnosis or recovery timeline. Hafley’s assessment does not establish whether Achane will miss future games.
Achane missed five games as a rookie in 2023 with a knee injury. Last season, he recorded 1,350 rushing yards and 1,838 yards from scrimmage, according to Fox Sports.
The report says Achane signed a four-year, $64 million extension this off-season. Miami is due to visit Minnesota in Week 4.
