De’Von Achane, the starting running back for the Miami Dolphins, left the game in the first quarter with what was subsequently ruled to be a concussion. As a result, Achane will be sidelined for the remainder of Sunday’s matchup against the New England Patriots.

Achane, 22, came into the game on Sunday with 53 carries for 165 yards, making him Miami’s top rusher. Before receiving a hard hit by Patriots safety Jaylinn Hawkins by the sideline, he had gained eighteen yards on three carries against New England. Achane’s upper body seemed to stiffen up after the blow, and the back of his head struck the grass.
Achane remained on the ground as trainers took care of him. Raheem Mostert, the backup running back, replaced him with the Dolphins losing 7-3 at the time.
