Dolphins RB De’Von Achane suffers concussion vs. Patriots

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Miami Dolphins running back De’Von Achane was ruled out for the remainder of Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots after he was diagnosed with a concussion.

Achane took a handoff from quarterback Tyler Huntley and ran 12 yards before being tackled out of bounds by Patriots safety Jaylinn Hawkins. However, Hawkins’ helmet made forceful contact with Achane’s during the tackle; the running back remained quiet for a few minutes as medical trainers attended to him.

Achane was eventually led to the medical tent and locker room, where he was quickly diagnosed with concussion and ruled out.

The second-year running back leads the Dolphins in total yards and had established himself as the team’s starter while Raheem Mostert missed three games with a pectoral injury. Mostert returned to the field on Sunday and will likely share carries with rookie Jaylen Wright in Achane’s absence.

Achane has entered the NFL’s concussion protocol, but with the Dolphins’ bye week in Week 6, he has two weeks to get through it before their next game against the Indianapolis Colts on Oct. 20.
