An unfortunate scene resulted in the Dolphins and Jaguars canceling the remaining 8 minutes and 32 seconds of Saturday night’s preseason game. The game was canceled after Dolphins rookie receiver Daewood Davis suffered an injury. Both coaches agreed to stop the game as the Jaguars led 31-18.
The Dolphins posted an update on Davis via social media after the game started.
“We’re just hoping for a full recovery. We’ve had some good news and hope there’s even better news in the future,” Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel told reporters about Davis after the game.
“He’s a great spirit first and foremost. He has a magnetic attraction. He has a distinct personality. … His teammates are really excited about him. That tells you everything you need to know about a person.”
Davis was signed by the Dolphins as an undrafted free agent. He played college in Oregon and western Kentucky. During his two years at Western Kentucky, Davis caught 15 touchdowns in his last two collegiate seasons, averaging 15.4 yards per catch.
“Doug (Pederson) and I made the right decision when the two teams agreed that no more football was to be played tonight,” said McDaniel.
“I know without a shadow of a doubt that it was the right decision.”
We will have more information on Davis’ condition as it becomes available.
