The Miami Dolphins have been dealt a major blow after one of their star players, Reshad Phillips, suffered a season-ending Achilles tendon injury during practice. The injury occurred on the turf at MetLife Stadium, and teammate Kenny Stills has been vocal in his criticism of the playing surface.
Stills took to Twitter to express his frustration, saying that the turf was “not safe” and that it was “not up to NFL standards.” He went on to say that the team should have been practicing on a better surface.
The Dolphins have since released a statement saying that they are “looking into the matter” and that they are “taking all necessary steps to ensure the safety of our players.”
The MetLife Stadium turf has been a topic of discussion for some time now, with many players voicing their concerns about its safety. In 2017, the New York Giants had to switch to a different turf after several players suffered injuries.
It is unclear what the Dolphins will do in response to Stills’ comments, but it is clear that they are taking the matter seriously. The team is likely to take steps to ensure that their players are practicing on a safe surface.
Injuries are an unfortunate part of the game, but it is important that teams take steps to ensure that their players are not put in unnecessary danger. The Dolphins will be hoping that this incident serves as a wake-up call and that they can take steps to ensure that their players are practicing on a safe surface in the future.
