The Story in 60 Seconds

The Miami Dolphins fell to 0-3 on the season following a 24-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in their home opener. During the defeat, Pro Bowl running back De'Von Achane suffered a torn ACL that will cause him to miss the remainder of the season. Following the game, Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley provided a positive update, stating that running back Jaylen Wright and wide receiver Caleb Douglas are now considered day-to-day.

Wright missed the Week 3 matchup due to a stinger, while Douglas sat out with an ankle injury that had previously been classified as week-to-week. With Achane and Wright sidelined, Miami relied heavily on third-string running back Ollie Gordon, who totaled 41 yards on 17 carries. The potential return of Wright and Douglas offers crucial depth as Miami adjusts its offensive lineup following Achane's season-ending injury.
