One of the low spots (among oh so many) in the Miami Dolphins 2015 season came during a Thursday night game in late October against the New England Patriots. Late in the third quarter, defensive end Cameron Wake was rushing around the left edge when he suddenly and noticeably began favoring his left leg. He continued rushing towards quarterback Tom Brady for several seconds until the ball was thrown, then fell to the turf.
And didn’t get up.
Fans felt their heart cringe, as all were well aware that one of the league’s toughest players doesn’t stay down on the field unless something is seriously wrong.
