The Facts: The Dolphins have placed Moreno on season-ending injured reserve with an ACL injury, the team announced Tuesday.
Diehards Line:
Moreno’s injury might explain why he only had one carry for five yards in the second half of Sunday’s 27-24 loss to Green Bay although on Monday coaches didn’t offer his injury as a reason he hardly played. The former Broncos running back, who signed a one-year deal in Miami worth a little over $1 million in guarantees, was also battling elbow issues this season and played in just three games for the Dolphins. His final two appearances yielded just seven attempts for 14 yards. The Dolphins will continue to ride Lamar Miller as their primary back. Daniel Thomas and Damien Williams will also likely take on a bigger role. Currently, Miller leads the team with 63 touches for 330 yards and three touchdowns.
