Hamstring Injury Forces Freeny from Week 11 Game

Thursday, Nov. 13

Freeny exited the team's game against the Buffalo Bills and was unable to return.

James Walker of ESPN.con noted the injury for Freeny:

The injury occurred during a kickoff as Freeny remained down after the play. Freeny had just one tackle on the night and has amassed 13 total on the season. He's also credited with a sack and a blocked kick this year.

Freeny has been asked to step up in special situations this season, as Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel notes:

In his third season with the Dolphins, Freeny has maintained a limited role on the team. However, the special teams and depth of the defense will likely suffer without his presence.
