Dolphins’ star RB De’Von Achane heads to locker room with knee injury

Miami Dolphins' star running back De’Von Achane suffered a knee injury during the team's game against Kansas City on Sunday. The incident occurred in the first quarter when Achane was running for an 11-yard gain. He continued to play despite getting hurt, making four of the Dolphins' first five offensive plays before the injury.

After the tackle, Achane initially stood still, surrounded by teammates, before walking over to the Miami sideline, favoring his left leg. He eventually made his way into the locker room for further examination, where he was evaluated and taken to the team’s injury tent later that day. At the time of the incident, no details about the severity of Achane's injury were disclosed, and the Dolphins indicated his return-to-game probability as questionable.

Achane, a Pro Bowl selection from the previous season, was rushed for 1,350 yards on 238 attempts this season, setting a career-high and leading the NFL with a 5.7-yard average per carry. He was the team's leading rusher with eight touchdowns and four receiving scores, placing him fourth among all running backs in the league with 488 receiving yards.
