Football players are tough, and Miami Dolphins fullback Alec Ingold is no exception.
On Thursday, running backs coach Eric Studesville told the media that after suffering a thumb injury during their Christmas Day matchup against the Green Bay Packers, Ingold underwent surgery before playing with a club on his hand against the New England Patriots on New Year’s Day.
Ingold has been an integral part of Miami’s offense this year, serving in both blocking and play-making roles. He may have only played a season-low 16 snaps, but he was out there trying to make a difference and help his team win.
