Dolphins RB De'Von Achane exits with knee injury
Livemint··28 Sept
Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane will not return against the Kansas City Chiefs after hurting his knee on his third carry Sunday. He took the ball 11 yards before an awkward tackle by safety Alohi Gilman. The 0-2 Dolphins ruled him out after halftime imaging as Ollie Gordon II became the only healthy back.

What It Means For You
- Achane had 159 yards from 38 touches through two weeks before Sunday's injury.
- Jaylen Wright was inactive with a stinger, leaving Miami with only Achane and Gordon active.
- Gordon scored a short first-season touchdown to tie the game 7-7 after Kansas City led early.
What's Happening
