De'Von Achane Out for Season with Torn ACL
Miami is weighing veteran free agents after De'Von Achane's torn ACL left Jaylen Wright, Ollie Gordon and two practice-squad backs as the main options.
- On Monday, the Dolphins confirmed star running back De'Von Achane suffered a torn ACL during Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, sidelining him for the remainder of the 2026 season.
- The injury occurred during Miami's opening drive on an 11-yard run when Kansas City safety Alohi Gilman tackled Achane by the helmet, causing his body to twist while his left leg was planted.
- General Manager Jon Eric Sullivan signed Achane to a four-year, $64 million contract extension earlier this year, positioning the running back as a key part of the team's rebuild.
- Backup running backs Ollie Gordon and Jaylen Wright now handle Miami's workload; Gordon recorded 17 carries for 41 yards and a touchdown against the Chiefs on Sunday.
- Miami must attempt to salvage the remainder of their campaign using current roster depth, particularly after missing out on veteran free agent Austin Ekeler, who signed with the Commanders on Monday.
