Miami Dolphins running back Knowshon Moreno will miss the rest of the season after being placed on injured reserve with an ACL injury.

The team made the announcement:

ESPN's James Walker noted that this will end Moreno's season:

Walker added more context to just how devastating the injury is for the Dolphins back:

Ian Rapoport of NFL.com details when the injury took place:

NFL.com's Jeff Darlington noted that the injury was a surprise for Moreno:

Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel provided head coach Joe Philbin's thoughts on the injury:

Moreno returned from an elbow injury on Sunday. He gained just 10 yards on six carries, however, lacking the playmaking ability he showcased with the Denver Broncos last season. This injury could help explain that lack of explosiveness.

He signed a one-year deal with the Dolphins in the offseason. His recovery from the ACL ailment will determine what type of interest he gauges as he likely heads back to the free-agent market.
