Buffalo Bills offensive tackle Dion Dawkins was excused from practice today as he had a much more serious matter to tend to.

According to reports from TMZ, a single-engine aircraft crashed in the Pro Bowler’s yard, just feet away from his house in Aurora, New York. The crash occurred at 11:22 AM, after the plane experienced “mechanical issues.”

After crashing into the trees in Dawkins’ yard, the plane went up in flames, leaving the pilot dead. No one else in the area was injured.

The plane was said to be on its way from Michigan to New York. No further details have been released as the National Transportation safety Board investigates.

Dawkins was allowed to miss practice today to tend to the matter at his home.

Aaron Rodgers has made a statement on his past relationships that suggests he’s probably regretful.

The New York Jets quarterback has dated some famous women since making the step up to the NFL but apparently did not enjoy the scrutiny that came with the territory.

Rodgers dated actress Olivia Munn from 2014 to 2017, then hooked up with former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick before starting a relationship with another actress, Shailene Woodley.

Aaron and Woodley made it as far as engagement but eventually called things off.

While Rodgers might not have hated the actual relationships, he did not enjoy all the eyes they came with.
