- The Miami Dolphins left Sunday with two competing truths: they were beaten by the Kansas City Chiefs, 24-10, and they also turned in what was described as their best unified effort of the 2026 season.
- De’Von Achane, who went down four plays into the game on a non-contact first-quarter run, is headed to injured reserve after tearing his ACL and will miss the rest of the season.
- The injury changes the shape of Miami’s offense immediately.
- Achane’s absence leaves a much different backfield picture, and the Dolphins are expected to move either Carlos Washington, Jr. or Jarquez Hunter to the active roster to help replace him.
- The Dolphins finished with 119 total rushing yards, and Gordon is going to become the featured runner in the offense.
- Kansas City was held to just 17 points deep into the fourth quarter, but the Dolphins still lost by two touchdowns, 24-10, after their own mistakes helped decide the game.
Dolphins’ Week 3 fight now has to survive without De’Von Achane
