LET’S HEAR YOUR STORY
For the second time in seven days, an NFL preseason game was suspended due to a player injury.
On Saturday, it was a game between the Miami Dolphins and Jacksonville Jaguars that got called in the fourth quarter. Dolphins rookie wide receiver Daewood Davis sustained the injury on a catch attempt with 8:32 remaining in the fourth quarter.
Davis was removed from the game on a stretcher, with members of both teams surrounding him while athletic trainers attended to him. He was released from the hospital on Sunday morning to return to Miami with the rest of the team, according to an announcement from the Dolphins.
It's unclear exactly what kind of injury Davis sustained, but the Dolphins mentioned he was conscious with movement in all extremities while announcing he was taken to Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville.
The situation was similar to what happened in a game between the New England Patriots and Green Bay Packers last weekend, with Patriots cornerback Isaiah Bolden leaving on a stretcher after a hard hit to the helmet. If you count Damar Hamlin's cardiac arrest that ended a regular-season game between the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals in January, the same thing has happened three times in the NFL this year alone.
Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel was emotional after the game, praising Davis' character:
"He's a great spirit, first and foremost ... He did a rookie event, he sang a little song, told a story, and you could see the rest of the offense from that point on — he's magnetic, he's got a cool personality to him and guys really saw that from then on. The receivers already knew it. He's a guy his teammates really root for. That tells you everything about a human being.
"He's a popular guy amongst our team because of how he works. I had such a pleasure in his development process and was excited for a couple opportunities he was going to get. More than anything, we're hoping for a full recovery and have had some good news."
McDaniel also said suspending the game was the right decision "without a shadow of a doubt" and said "our guys are hurting but relieved."
Davis is a rookie who went undrafted out of Western Kentucky in the 2023 NFL Draft. He had 37 catches, 555 receiving yards and four touchdowns in 2022 with the Hilltoppers.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
