De’Von Achane, the Miami Dolphins running back, left the Week 14 game against the New York Jets with a rib injury suffered in the second quarter.
What happened in the game
Achane was hurt at MetLife Stadium on a 29‑yard run in the second quarter, when he went down hard near the sideline and appeared to land on the ball, then headed to the blue medical tent and from there to the locker room. The team later announced it as a rib injury and listed him as questionable to return, and he did not play in the second half of Miami’s 34–10 win.
Current status and outlook
Reports after the game indicated that the Dolphins believe the rib issue is not severe and that Achane could have returned in an emergency situation, so his absence was viewed as precautionary with the team already leading comfortably. His exact availability for the next game is still uncertain, but coaches have expressed optimism that he has a good chance to be ready for Miami’s upcoming matchup if his symptoms allow.
