Dolphins' star RB De'Von Achane heads to locker room with knee injury
There was no immediate word on severity, and the Dolphins initially listed his return-to-game chances as questionable. Achane — a Pro Bowl selection last season — got hurt during an 11-yard run to the left side. Achane got up quickly after the tackle on the play where he got injured, then just stood still while flanked by a couple of teammates.
Miami Dolphins running back De Von Achane suffered a knee injury during the first quarter of their game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, causing him to leave the field. He was seen limping and eventually went into the locker room for further assessment. The severity of the injury was not immediately clear, and the team initially gave a questionable rating to his potential return to play.
Achane, who was a Pro Bowl selection the previous season, was hurt while attempting an 11-yard run to the left side. Despite getting up quickly after the tackle that caused the injury, he stood still for a moment, indicating discomfort. He subsequently walked to the sideline, favoring his left leg, before entering the team's injury tent.
A few minutes later, he was taken to the locker room. Prior to sustaining the injury, Achane had played 31 times this season, accumulating 110 yards on the ground, while his team's other backs combined for 16 carries and 66 yards. Throughout the season, Achane set a career-high with 1,350 rushing yards on 238 attempts, ranking first in the NFL with 5.7 yards per carry.
He earned his Pro Bowl spot and posted eight rushing touchdowns and four receiving scores, ranking fourth in the league with 488 receiving yards.
