De’Von Achane is officially done for Sunday’s Week 3 showdown against the Kansas City Chiefs, going down with a knee injury early in the first quarter. The Dolphins dropped the tough news in the third, confirming their star running back wouldn’t return. Talk about a punch to the gut for Miami right when they needed him most!
The Backfield Is Banged Up, Big Time
This isn’t just an Achane problem, either. The Dolphins’ run game was already limping into this Week 3 matchup. Jaylen Wright, another key piece of their backfield, was ruled out *before* the game even started, sidelined with both a stinger and a foot injury. So, yeah, it’s not looking great when your top two guys are out within hours of each other.
Who’s Stepping Up?
With both Achane and Wright out, it’s now Ollie Gordon II’s show. He’s slated to lead the Dolphins’ run game for the rest of this Week 3 clash against the Chiefs. That’s a huge ask, taking on the load on the fly in a crucial game. Everyone’s watching to see if he can carry the mail for Miami.
