The Miami Dolphins will be without starting running back De’Von Achane for the rest of Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots as Achane exited in the first quarter with what was later determined to be a concussion.

Achane, 22, entered Sunday as Miami’s leading rusher with 165 yards on 53 carries. He had 18 yards on three carries against New England before taking a heavy hit from Patriots safety Jaylinn Hawkins by the sideline. After the hit, the back of Achane’s head hit the turf and his upper body appeared to go stiff.

Achane stayed down on the ground as he was attended to by trainers. Backup running back Raheem Mostert entered in his place with the Dolphins trailing 7-3 at the time.
