Story summary

De'Von Achane, Miami Dolphins star running back, suffered a season-ending knee injury during their game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. The 24-year-old left with what later turned out to be a torn ACL, which he sustained after being tackled early in the first quarter. His absence significantly impacted the Dolphins' performance; they lost 24-10 and now sit at 0-3 for the season. Achane, who signed a four-year, $64 million extension earlier this year with $32 million guaranteed, was instrumental to the team's rebuilding phase. His injury leaves Miami heavily reliant on backups like Ollie Gordon and Jaylen Wright, as he is seventh on the Dolphins' all-time rushing list despite only playing in 47 games prior to his latest setback.
