Jason Babin, a defensive end for the Jacksonville Jaguars came away from a tackle with a fistfull of hair during Sunday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals. After going after rookie running back Andre Ellington, Babin got up from the pile with a clump of Ellington’s dreads.
Ellington tweeted afterwards that all was fine.
Hair is all good. Nothing serious. Look worse than it really was. S/o to the dread heads! Will get it stitch back in. Birdgang got the win!

He also clarified that his hair was not ripped out, but rather was torn and could be sewed back in.
