Rookie receiver Chris Bell caught four passes for a team-high 67 yards, while running back De’Von Achane left Miami’s loss to Kansas City with a knee injury. Coach Jeff Hafley said early outlooks on Achane’s knee were not very optimistic.
Bell got the opportunity with fellow rookie Caleb Douglas sidelined by an ankle injury. Bell had returned to play after tearing his ACL late last November while playing for Louisville.
Achane was injured on his third carry and did not return. For the rest of the game, Miami players other than Achane and quarterback Malik Willis totaled just 46 rushing yards. The Dolphins stayed within one score of Kansas City until Patrick Mahomes’ late touchdown pass to Travis Kelce sealed the result.
