In his first game with the Dolphins, defensive end Mario Williams had a sack. He also, however, suffered an injury.

According to Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald, Williams has a concussion.

He’ll be required to pass an independent neurological exam before returning to practice. He then will be required to pass a separate exam before he’ll be able to play.

The Miami defense had three sacks of Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson. On one of them, Wilson injured his ankle.
