Patrick Laird injury: Dolphins RB exits game in first quarter

The running back will miss the remainder of the game.

The Miami Dolphins and New York Giants finished their first quarter tied 0-0, but Brian Flores’ team suffered another loss at one of their thinnest positions.

Late in the first quarter, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was sacked inside his 10-yard line to make it fourth down. On the play, Dolphins running back Patrick Laird was injured and remained down for some time.

The team announced on social media that Laird’s injury is to his knee, and he will miss the remainder of the Week 13 matchup.

Miami came into this game without newly-acquired back Phillip Lindsay who is dealing with an ankle injury. They’ll have to complete this game against the Giants with Myles Gaskin and Salvon Ahmed at the position.
