Miami Dolphins and Jacksonville Jaguars Cancel Game Due to Injury
An unfortunate scene led to the Dolphins and Jaguars canceling the remaining 8 minutes and 32 seconds of Saturday night’s preseason game. The game was called after Dolphins rookie receiver Daewood Davis suffered an injury. Both coaches agreed to suspend the game with the Jaguars leading 31-18.
Update on Davis
The Dolphins posted an update on Davis via social media after the game was called.
“We’re just hoping for a full recovery. Have had some good news and hope to have even better news going forward,” Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel told reporters after the game about Davis.
“He’s a great spirit, first and foremost. He’s magnetic. He’s got a full personality to him. … His teammates really root for (him). That tells you everything you need to know about a human being.”
About Daewood Davis
Davis was signed by the Dolphins as an undrafted free agent. He played collegiately at Oregon and Western Kentucky. During his two years at Western Kentucky, Davis caught 15 touchdowns during his final two college seasons while averaging 15.4 yards per catch.
“Doug (Pederson) and myself made the right call in that the two teams agreed that football shouldn’t be played anymore tonight,” McDaniel said.
“Without a shadow of a doubt, I know that was the right call.”

We’ll have more information on Davis’ condition as soon as it becomes available.
