Dolphins FB lands in concussion protocol

Dolphins Fullback Ingold Briefly Scares Team After Training Camp Injury

Miami - A scare shook the Miami Dolphins practice field Sunday as fullback Alec Ingold left many teammates and observers concerned after going down during a drill.

Ingold was motionless on the field following the play, prompting immediate action from his colleagues and coaches. The situation sparked worry as several players dropped to their knees in prayer while medical trainers rushed to Ingold's side.

Despite initial fears, Ingold eventually got back to his feet and walked off the field under his own power. However, a team spokesperson later confirmed that the 29-year-old has entered the NFL's concussion protocol as a precaution.

A Vital Piece on Offense

Ingold's impact extends far beyond his statistics, which include 25 rushing yards, 320 receiving yards, and three touchdowns in three seasons with Miami. He's been an essential part of the Dolphins' offensive line, providing crucial blocking support in both running and passing plays for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. With no other fullbacks on the roster, Ingold's absence would be a significant blow to the team.

Ingold signed with the Dolphins as a free agent in 2022 after spending several seasons with the Oakland/Las Vegas Raiders. He earned a Pro Bowl nod following his first season in Miami and subsequently signed an extension with the team in 2023.
