Dolphins Lose De'Von Achane to Torn ACL for Season
De'Von Achane is a running back for the Miami Dolphins.
He hurt his knee while running for 11 yards against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Doctors found that he tore a ligament called the ACL.
This means he will not play again this season.
Miami lost the game 24-10.
Ollie Gordon II had to handle most of the team's running plays after Achane was hurt.
Jaylen Wright was also unavailable because of a stinger.
Coach Jeff Hafley said the Dolphins still plan to run the ball with their other players.
De'Von Achane suffered a torn ACL on an 11-yard run during Miami's opening drive against Kansas City.
The Dolphins initially listed Achane as questionable before ruling him out and later confirming he would miss the rest of the season.
Miami lost 24-10 to the Chiefs despite improving defensively and keeping the game close in the second half.
Ollie Gordon II became Miami's primary available running back after Jaylen Wright missed the game with a stinger.
Achane had 34 carries for 127 yards this season and signed a four-year, $64 million extension earlier in the year.
