De'Von Achane has been one of the NFL's best stories this season. The Miami Dolphins rookie running back has seven touchdowns the past three games and a 12.1-yard average per rushing attempt, which should not be possible in the NFL.
Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said he didn't know how Achane was injured in Sunday's game and apparently tried to play through it, and the team was evaluating him Monday. McDaniel wouldn't speculate on whether Achane could miss some time.
One reason the speedy Achane fell to the third round of the draft was his size. He was just 5-foot-8 and 188 pounds at the NFL scouting combine, and backs of his size rarely can handle a big workload as an NFL running back. Achane dealt with injuries in the preseason and now has a knee injury after three games in which he split time with Raheem Mostert.
Achane has added an exciting element to an already-fast Dolphins offense. He has 460 rushing yards on just 38 carries, which is unheard of. He also has 67 receiving yards, including a couple of touchdowns catching the ball. The Dolphins will hope Achane's injury doesn't cost him any time, or very little. Considering how quickly Achane has helped boost the Dolphins offense to historic levels, it's something Miami will monitor closely.
