Miami Dolphins running back De’Von Achane suffered a concussion in the team’s Week 5 game against the New England Patriots and was ruled out for the remainder of the game.
Achane, 22, went down after picking up a first down with a 12-yard run late in the first quarter. After staying down on the sideline, Achane was helped to the blue medical tent on the sideline and eventually exited to the locker room.

The Dolphins have relied heavily on Achane early in the year with veteran running back Raheem Mostert sidelined for the last three games due to a chest injury. Mostert made his return to the lineup Sunday and will presumably get the majority of the workload if Achane misses significant time. The Dolphins also have rookie fourth-round pick Jaylen Wright, who had nine carries for 32 yards in Week 4.
Achane was a breakout star as a rookie in 2023 with 800 rushing yards, 197 receiving yards, and 11 total touchdowns. But about a month into his second season, Achane has just 183 yards on 56 carries (3.3 yards per carry).
