Dolphins return man Braxton Berrios left today’s game with a knee injury that is being described as potentially serious. His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, informed Miami sportscaster Josh Moser that Berrios is scheduled for an MRI on Monday to assess the extent of the injury. The early indications suggest it could be significant.
Berrios serves as the Dolphins’ primary punt and kickoff returner and also plays as a wide receiver, although he has not made any receptions this season.
The 29-year-old is in the second year of a one-year contract with the Dolphins and is set to become a free agent in March. He has previously played for the New York Jets and the New England Patriots.
Braxton Berrios’s girlfriend, social media sensation Alix Earle, has addressed the situation after the Miami Dolphins player was diagnosed with a torn ACL, confirming that his season is officially over.
He sustained the injury during a recent game, and the diagnosis followed tests conducted on Monday. Earle’s response likely reflects her support for Berrios during this challenging time as he faces recovery and rehabilitation from the injury.
“It’s crazy how things can change in a matter of seconds… especially seeing how much work you put into this game not only physically but mentally,’ the 23-year-old shared to her 3.7 million Instagram followers.
Braxton Berrios expressed his devastation over the season-ending injury news on social media Monday afternoon. In his post, he likely shared his feelings about the diagnosis and the impact it will have on his season and career.
Absolutely heartbroken,’ he began in an Instagram post. ‘Due to an injury yesterday [Sunday] my season is over, the road ahead is measured in months and not days, but I find comfort in knowing I’ve been here before.
‘If you’re lucky like me, adversity has become a close friend. It means you’re chasing something not easily attainable and through all the failures and setbacks you’ve persevered. There’s pain along the way, but what’s on the other side makes it all worth it.
‘Initially all I want to do is play victim and question everything, but I know God and I know he makes no mistakes. After the dust settles the choice each day is going to be pretty straightforward- have this be a part of my story or have it be the end of my story. Well like Kobe once said, “If you see me in a fight with a bear, pray for the bear.”‘
