It was a heartbreaking sight for Miami Dolphins fans on Saturday night when Daewood Davis, one of the team’s star players, was injured in a collision during the team’s preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The game was immediately halted as medical personnel rushed to Davis’ aid.
Davis, a wide receiver, was attempting to catch a pass when he collided with a Jaguars defender. The impact of the collision sent Davis to the ground and he lay motionless on the field. After several minutes of medical attention, Davis was taken off the field in a stretcher and transported to a nearby hospital.
The Dolphins organization released a statement saying that Davis suffered a neck injury and was being evaluated by medical professionals. The team also said that Davis was conscious and alert when he left the field.
The injury to Davis is a major blow to the Dolphins, who were counting on him to be a major contributor this season. He had been impressive in training camp and was expected to be one of the team’s top receivers.
The game between the Dolphins and Jaguars was halted after Davis’ injury and will not be resumed. The teams will instead move on to their next preseason games.
The thoughts and prayers of the entire Dolphins organization are with Davis and his family as they hope for a speedy recovery.
