Miami Dolphins wide receiver Brice Butler suffered a leg injury at Tuesday’s mandatory minicamp practice, per Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald. Butler, who suffered the right lower leg injury during a muggy and rain-soaked day on the Dolphins practice field in Davie, was attended to by a trainer before heading inside.
Nicks, bruises, and minor injuries are inevitable when it comes to offseason practices. Players are taking the practice field and doing drills in “real world” football conditions with fellow teammates for the first time in months, and football, as we all know, is an inherently dangerous sport in general, whether pads are being worn or not.
