‘It Does Not Sound Optimistic’: Dolphins’ De’Von Achane Suffers What Is Feared To Be Major Knee Injury
And Miami gets that much closer to Jeremiah Smith.
De’Von Achane, the star running back for the Dolphins, was unable to return Sunday in his team’s 24-10 defeat against the Kansas City Chiefs after suffering an injury to his knee during the opening drive.

Around the left end, Achane was on his third rushing attempt of the contest, taking it for 11 yards before being tackled awkwardly by Kansas City safety Alohi Gilman. (RELATED: 49ers’ Kyle Juszczyk Slapped With Completely Ridiculous Fine For Allegedly Imitating ‘Chugging A Beer’)
Following the tackle, Achane slowly left the field, eventually getting escorted to the blue medical tent under his own power. After a few minutes, the Pro Bowler exited the tent and went to the locker room for further testing.
He was ultimately ruled out of the game, and afterward, Miami head coach Jeff Hafley had a damning quote regarding his status.
“To be honest with you, it does not sound optimistic.”
Call me crazy, call me a tin-foil hat conspiracy theorist, but who is to say the Dolphins front office isn’t scripting this whole thing behind closed doors?
You already saw the non-contact injury; here is Achane on the sidelines after the fact. He looks fine to me.
Losing your undisputed offensive engine in Week 3, immediately dropping a somber “does not sound optimistic” quote to set the tone, and letting the losses naturally pile up without raising red flags from the league office … that’s the plan as far as I’m concerned.
