But at least he was comforted knowing his latest ailment was different from the same type of hamstring injury that bothered him in his final collegiate season and lingered in the lead-up to the NFL draft. "It was a contact injury," said Tyson, who got hurt in an Aug. 13 practice. "It's not like I was running and I just pulled it. (The) guy pushed me very, very hard — a big dude at that — and kind of just went down on the sidelines.

It was his wife, Kelli, and she was letting him know it was time to get on a plane and meet her at the hospital — doctors were going to induce her labor. Ruiz was excused by the team so he could book a ticket to Dallas and make it to the hospital in time to see his son, Caiden, born. "It's easily the greatest experience a man can (have), being there for my wife, just seeing my son," Ruiz said.
