The Miami Dolphins have lost one of their key defensive lineman for the season. William Hayes will be shut down with a torn ACL after he registered a sack against Derek Carr on Sunday. Apparently Hayes was trying not to put all his body weight into the hit to protect Carr from any major injury. Turns out by doing that, Hayes somehow tore his ACL as he was trying not to get penalized for sacking the quarterback.
You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.
