Chris Gragg tore his ACL on the play many thought was a cheap shot by DeAngelo Hall
Chris Gragg was one of the bright spots of the Buffalo Bills pre-season so far, but his season is now over. The former Arkansas tight end was upended by DeAngelo Hall last night and injured his knee. Bills head coach Rex Ryan revealed that Gragg would miss the rest of the 2016 season with a torn ACL.
Bills fans went off on Hall for the low hit calling it a cheap shot, but Hall does not care, he responded to the critics.
It’s so funny how I got people that have never played football telling me how to tackle. #JumpOffABridge I’m 5’11 200lbs I’m hitting LOW

I’m playing within the rules. If that hit was so dirty tell the league the fine me or throw a flag. And the one flag the whistle didn’t blow

Gragg, meanwhile, had this to say on social media:
