Dolphins' De'Von Achane undergoing evaluation for knee injury - ESPN

MIAMI — Dolphins running back De'Von Achane is being evaluated for a knee injury, coach Mike McDaniel said Monday.

The severity is yet to be determined, and McDaniel declined to say whether the rookie would miss time or was undergoing an MRI. Achane suffered the injury during Sunday's victory against the New York Giants, although the coach declined to specify exactly when it occurred.

«When I don't know, I literally don't spend any time forecasting either way,» McDaniel said. «It's just because we're getting more information. But I find it trivial to even forecast until I get all the information. So I really don't know.»

Achane ran for 151 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries against the Giants, his third straight game with at least 100 rushing yards and a TD.

«It's just something we're treating that we'll get more information on,» McDaniel said. «He was in and out of the game, a standard rotation.… He thought he might have something but he's such a tough kid. It was kind of tough to read, so we needed to evaluate more and that's what we're doing today.»

The 2023 third-round pick has been sensational through his first four games with the Dolphins. His 460 rushing yards rank second in the NFL behind Christian McCaffrey and his 12.1 yards per carry is nearly 5 yards more than No. 2 Breece Hall (7.2).

Achane's per-carry average is the highest in NFL history through a team's first five games of a season, according to ESPN Stats & Information.

After being a healthy scratch in Week 1 and getting one carry in Week 2, Achane received an expanded role in Week 3 following an injury to Salvon Ahmed. He took advantage of the opportunity, compiling 233 total yards and four total touchdowns in a historic 70-20 win over the Denver
