De’Von Achane suffered a torn ACL in Week 3 against the Chiefs on September 27, 2026, and was placed on injured reserve, ending his participation for the remainder of the 2026 regular season. The Dolphins’ lead back had managed just 127 rushing yards on 34 carries and zero touchdowns across his first three games before the injury, with the offense already struggling under new head coach Jeff Hafley and quarterback Malik Willis. Miami has since shifted carries to Ollie Gordon II and Jaylen Wright while adding depth via waivers. Achane’s absence removes any realistic path to additional rushing scores this year, aligning trader consensus with a near-certain zero total for the season-long market. Recovery timelines point to a potential return in 2027.
