The Dolphins have lost RB De'Von Achane for the season after he tore his left ACL in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. Ollie Gordon stepped in to play 61 snaps against Kansas City after Achane lasted just four snaps. RB Jaylen Wright was inactive with a pair of injuries.

Dolphins HC Jeff Hafley said after Sunday's loss to the Chiefs that RB De'Von Achane's knee injury looks serious. "To be honest with you, it does not sound optimistic," Hafley added. We should get an official diagnosis on Achane within the next 24 hours, but expect a lengthy absence, potentially the rest of the season. Achane's absence left Ollie Gordon as Miami's lead back. He carried 17 times for 41 yards and a score, adding 14 more yards on 3 catches. RB Jaylen Wright was inactive with stinger and foot injuries. His status going forward is uncertain. Miami has RBs Jarquez Hunter and Carlos Washington on the practice squad. Gordon is the add here but won't be more than a volume-based RB3 in an offense that will continue to struggle.

Dolphins RB De'Von Achane suffered a knee injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Chiefs. He headed back to the locker room and is officially questionable to return. Ollie Gordon is Miami's No. 2 RB with Jaylen Wright (stinger, foot) inactive today.

Update: Achane has been ruled out.

Dolphins HC Jeff Hafley confirmed that RB De’Von Achane won’t have any restrictions at the start of training camp. The 24-year-old sat out team drills in offseason practices following shoulder surgery.

Dolphins HC Jeff Hafley revealed on Wednesday that RB De'Von Achane had shoulder surgery this offseason. Achane missed last year's finale with a shoulder injury and "had to get cleaned up," Hafley said. "He did that and he’s rehabbing right now. He’s doing well." Achane was on the field for Wednesday's OTA session but not was a full participant.

The Dolphins have agreed to a four-year extension with RB De’Von Achane, according to multiple reports. The deal will pay $64 million, with a max value of $68 million, and includes $32 million in guarantees. Even the lower annual average beats what Breece Hall got on his three-year extension with the Jets ($16 million vs. $15.25 million), and both beat Kenneth Walker III’s free-agent pact with the Chiefs ($14.35 million per year). Only Saquon Barkley and Christian McCaffrey carry larger annual averages among RBs on their current contracts.

The Dolphins signed undrafted free agent RB Le’Veon Moss, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. Moss played four seasons at Texas A&M, peaking in 2024. He posted 6.3 yards per carry, scored 10 times, and churned out 4.4 yards after contact per attempt, per Pro Football Focus. That’s high-end production in the SEC. Then the injuries hit. A knee injury wiped out his final four games in 2024. And an ankle injury the next August restricted him to just 77 carries this past year. HC Mike Elko publicly backed him after the 2025 injury, calling him a “warrior.” Among the 20 RBs invited to the NFL Combine, Moss ranked 15th in 2025 rushing market share (34.7%) and ninth in yards after contact per attempt (3.47). He ranked 17th in 2025 missed tackles forced per attempt (0.16) and last in receiving yards per route run (0.05). He is currently 23 years old.

Dolphins GM Jon-Eric Sullivan said Wednesday that RB De'Von Achane is "not available for trade." Sullivan noted that he's had "some positive conversations" in recent days regarding a contract extension for the 24-year-old. Achane is scheduled to enter the final year of his rookie contract.

The Dolphins are signing QB Malik Willis to a 3-year, $67.5 million deal with $45 million guaranteed, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Willis' $22.5 million average annual salary ranks 21st among QBs. It's a reasonable deal for an unproven player who carries a wide range of outcomes.

The Dolphins announced that they will release QB Tua Tagovailoa at the start of the new league year this week. The move will cost Miami an NFL-record $99 million in dead money, split over this season and next. The Fins are hitting the 'reset' button under new GM Jon-Eric Sullivan and HC Jeff Hafley, cutting Tagovailoa and WR Tyreek Hill, among others, this offseason.

It seemed immediately after Week 18 that Miami would proceed with HC Mike McDaniel in place. But that changed Thursday when the team fired him. That move follows the in-season ouster of GM Chris Grier. McDaniel spent the past four years at the Dolphins helm after one year as 49ers OC and four others as run-game coordinator.

Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (shoulder) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Patriots. RBs Jaylen Wright, Ollie Gordon, Donovan Edwards, and Jeff Wilson are active for Miami. We’re expecting Wright to lead the backfield, but Gordon is a threat to take work.

Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (shoulder) is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game vs. the Patriots. He didn’t practice all week and is obviously a long shot to play. Achane’s absence will leave the backfield to Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon. Wright has played ahead of Gordon more often than not lately, including when Achane exited the Week 14 game against the Jets. Wright out-carried Gordon 24 to five in that one. We’ll look for any clues on Miami’s backfield plans in the finale, but consider Wright the better fantasy bet for now.
