INJURY UPDATE: Veteran “Iron Heart” of the Defense Suffers Biceps Injury – Bills Face Their Biggest Concern of the Season Despite Win Over Panthers

November 8, 2025 Miami, Florida – When the Dolphins injury report was released, many believed Rasul Douglas would miss the matchup against the Buffalo Bills due to issues with his leg and ankle. But according to a close source revealing to ESPN, the real reason is not in physical condition or tactics, but in emotions – something football sometimes cannot hide. Douglas, who was once a pillar of the Buffalo defense, shared with a close friend that he could completely play if he wanted. However, he chose not to take the field because “I don’t want to face the team that was once my family.” After two seasons wearing the Bills jersey, Douglas left in peace, but it seems a part of his heart still remains in Buffalo. “I went through the best years of my career there,” Douglas shared privately. “They are not just teammates – they are brothers. I still remember the cold mornings in Orchard Park, remember the ‘Bills Mafia’ chant ringing out every time we took the field. I just can’t imagine myself standing on the other side of the line, looking at them as opponents.” The source said Douglas felt healthy enough to play, but the Dolphins still respected his personal decision. HC Mike McDaniel is said to have “completely supported” this choice, viewing it as a human action rather than professional. In the Dolphins locker room, teammates showed respect for Douglas, as he dared to put emotions and loyalty above reputation. For Bills fans, this news leaves not a few people moved. Rasul Douglas was once a symbol of resilience and loyalty in Buffalo, and though now wearing another team’s jersey, he still keeps full love for the old colors. Perhaps in a deep corner of his soul, Douglas is still a part of Bills Mafia – and the decision not to play this time only makes that affection deeper.
