Dolphins Lose De'Von Achane to a Torn ACL, Sidelining Him for the Season, Report Says
Miami will rely on Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon II after Achane’s season-ending knee injury, with two practice-squad backs also available.
- On Sunday, September 27, 2026, Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane suffered a season-ending torn ACL during a 24-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, sustaining the injury on an 11-yard run early in the game.
- The 24-year-old signed a four-year, $64 million extension this offseason and served as general manager Jon Eric Sullivan's centerpiece for the Dolphins' rebuild, representing the team's most dynamic offensive weapon through their 0-3 start.
- Kansas City safety Alohi Gilman tackled Achane awkwardly, causing his leg to twist while planted; the running back exited after three carries for 17 yards, finishing the season with 127 rushing yards on 34 attempts.
- Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley will turn to backups Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon II to lead the running game, while the team waived defensive tackle Keith Cooper Jr. and released edge defender Clelin Ferrell and defensive lineman Jordan Miller from the practice squad.
- The 2026 season remains difficult for the rebuilding Dolphins, though the organization hopes Achane returns for 2027 as Hafley continues to evaluate his roster in his first season with the team still searching for its first win.
