Dolphins RB De'Von Achane suffers concussion against Patriots

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the New England Patriots after he was diagnosed with a concussion.

Achane took a handoff from quarterback Tyler Huntley and ran 12 yards before being thrown out of bounds by Patriots safety Jaylinn Hawkins. However, during the tackle there was heavy contact between Hawkins' helmet and Achane's helmet. The running back remained lying there for a few minutes while medical trainers attended to him.

Achane was eventually led to the medical tent and locker room, where he was quickly diagnosed with a concussion and ruled out of treatment.

The second-year running back leads the Dolphins in total yards and had established himself as the team's starter while Raheem Mostert missed three games with a pectoral injury. Mostert returned to the field on Sunday and will likely share runs with rookie Jaylen Wright in Achane's absence.

Achane has entered the NFL's concussion protocol, but with the Dolphins' week off in Week 6, he has two weeks to work through it until their next game against the Indianapolis Colts on Oct. 20.
