#Dolphins OLB Vince Biegel suffered a torn left achilles, sources tell @TheAthleticNFL.
He's expected to miss 2020 season, per source. An obvious blow to the defense. Biegel was one of best Miami storylines in 2019. He led Dolphins with 13 QB hits.

Last season, Biegel had the most productive season of his career, recording 59 total tackles, 2.5 sacks and one interception.
He was expected to challenge for a starting linebacker position this season.
With Biegel now out for the season, players like Elandon Roberts, Kamu-Grugier Hill, Sam Eguavoen and Andrew Van Ginkel will have a chance to earn lots of playing time for the upcoming season.
