Dolphins' Achane injures knee one day after return from IR
Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane suffered a knee injury in Sunday's 20-13 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders.
"He kind of got landed on, and it was a little painful," Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel told the media, including ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques. "He was politicking trying to come back in the game, but I was a little worried with the rust."
Achane handled two touches in the first half before the injury. McDaniel confirmed that the ailment occurred in the same knee that had held the rookie rusher out of action since Week 5.
The Dolphins coach added that he got good feedback about the injury from the team's medical staff, per Safid Dean of USA Today.
The speedster was making his return after missing the last four games. The Dolphins officially activated their fourth-round pick Saturday.
Across three games from Weeks 3 to 5, Achane amassed 455 total rushing yards and seven total touchdowns.
