As it appeared when it happened, #Dolphins RB Knowshon Moreno has a dislocated elbow. He’ll have tests to see how long he’s out
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) September 14, 2014 Moreno, who ran for 134 yards and a touchdown in his Miami debut last week, went down on his first carry of the game after his elbow bent in an unnatural angle. He was clutching the elbow in pain as he came off the field and was promptly taken into the locker room. He was declared out shortly thereafter.
Lamar Miller will now carry the load for Miami. Despite being listed as the starter, Miller had only 11 carries to Moreno's 24 last week during the upset win over the New England Patriots. Rookie Damien Williams, who did not have a carry last game, will step into the primary backup role.
Moreno had a breakout season last year with the Denver Broncos, rushing for 10 touchdowns and over 1,000 yards. That earned him a free agent contract with the Dolphins this offseason.
