Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said at his media session on Monday that Miami Dolphins rookie running back De’Von Achan has a knee issue resulting from Sunday’s game, and he is being evaluated. McDaniel wouldn’t give a status update on his availability for this Sunday’s game vs the Panthers.
Achane has knee issue and is being evaluated. Is his status in question for Sunday? "Still being evaluated," McDaniel said.

Asked if Achane (knee) is undergoing MRI, McDaniel said there are "various things he's undergoing." Asked if he can say for sure that Achane knee isn't season ending, McDaniel said he generally doesn't like to speculate on timetables until diagnosis/evaluation are done.

Per Pro Football Talk: “After carrying 11 times for 151 yards in Sunday’s win over the Giants, Achane now has 38 carries for 460 yards this season, an absurd average of 12.1 yards per carry.
In each of his last three games, Achane has gained more than 100 rushing yards while averaging more than 10 yards per carry. That’s something that Barry Sanders, perhaps the greatest big-play threat ever to play the running back position, never did even once in his entire NFL career.”
