This Is WAY WORSE Than We Thought... | Daily Dolphins News & Rumors

Let's talk about the Dolphins.

Well, we were hoping for better news, and Devon Achan is officially out for the season with a torn ACL.

We knew that was a possibility yesterday.

We mentioned it was either meniscus or ACL.

We were fingers crossed for meniscus, and unfortunately we didn't get that.

So he w- of course, will miss the rest of the season.

I did mention the slight silver lining, if there is one.

Him getting hurt now means he has essentially the full season and full off-season to come back.

I imagine you will see him in OTAs next year being pretty good to go.

Like about June, July next year, he should be on the field full speed again.

So we really shouldn't have a worry about whether he's gonna play next year given when he got injured and his age.

But devastating to the season.

I mean, he, again, our number one player, number one fantasy performer, the person that we were supposed to build the offense around.

That's why we gave him the extension, and now that is gone.

And it sucks [chuckles] because it was such a, like, not...

I guess innocuous is the best way to describe it, but it was a regular play and a lot of ACL tears, you could-- it's non-contact, whatever.

This wasn't a non-contact, but it just was a really weird tackle and him leg planted, rotational kind of thing.

Like this was-- That's why I was more leaning toward meniscus because most ACLs, when you take a step, that leg comes off the ground, you see them fall and grab the knee and you know they're out of there.

That's not what this was like.

He was down for a little bit.

He walked off.

This kinda reminds me...

This happened, oh my God, this is years.

Rajon Rondo was still in the league, so this is probably 10 to 12 years ago.

But Rajon Rondo had a knee injury in one game and they were playing back to backs like the NBA does.
