Julio Jones, Ndamukong Suh leave Dolphins-Falcons game after injuries
Tony Romo wasn't the only NFL star to give his team's fans a scare on Thursday night.
Miami Dolphins defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh and Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones both limped off the field in their preseason game with ankle injuries, though they are expected to be fine.
Both were kept out as a precaution after leaving the game.
Jones tweaked his ankle after going up for a deep pass against Miami corner Brice McCain, who was called for pass interference on the play. Jones had a limp after the play and was kept out after halftime as a precaution.

Suh was off to a dominant start against the Falcons when he left late in the first quarter and was helped to the locker room by a trainer.
He was later seen on the sideline without any apparent limp, and head coach Adam Gase said afterward "He's OK."

And yes, both should be fine, but it didn't stop some from freaking out a little.
