The Miami Dolphins announced Tuesday morning that RB Knowshon Moreno will be placed on season ending IR with a torn ACL. Moreno just returned Sunday against the Green Bay Packers, after an extended rest with a dislocated elbow. Now the Miami Dolphins will rely on Lamar Miller in the running game for the rest of the season.

Moreno was an important part of Miami’s rushing attack. He was second on the team in carries (31) and rushing yards (148). Moreno also averaged 4.8 yards per carry. Moreno only signed a one-year contract with the Dolphins last offseason and will go into 2015 free agency as an unrestricted free agent. Moreno’s Dolphins career could be over before it even really got started.
