Haynes sustained the injury during scrimmage action and needed to be helped off the field by teammates Brian Burns and Matt Ionannidis. He was immediately taken to a cart and transported indoors to the training facility. He will undergo further testing to fully diagnose what happened.

“I have no update on Marquis. We have to get all the testing and all that. We’ll get you something as soon as we know.”
