De’Von Achane suffered a torn left ACL early in the Dolphins’ Week 3 loss to the Chiefs on September 27, 2026, and was placed on injured reserve the next day, ending his season after just 34 carries for 127 yards and zero rushing touchdowns. The fourth-year back entered the year on the heels of a career-best 2025 campaign (1,350 rushing yards, first-team Pro Bowl) and a four-year, $64–68 million extension, with Miami’s new coaching staff planning a run-heavy approach around him and quarterback Malik Willis. With Achane sidelined, backups Ollie Gordon II and Jaylen Wright have taken over a struggling offense on an 0-3 (or worse) Dolphins team. This confirmed injury removes any realistic path to additional regular-season rushing scores, directly shaping trader consensus on his final 2026 total.
