An unusual situation is unfolding in Miami, where Dolphins right tackle Jonathan Martin has left the team after suffering an "emotional breakdown" this week.

NFL Media's Jeff Darlington reported Wednesday that Martin is currently seeking help with his family after an incident at the team's cafeteria, according to team sources.

Martin is listed on the team's injury report with an illness, and is doubtful to play Thursday against the Cincinnati Bengals. Fox NFL insider Jay Glazer reported that Martin was the victim of a prank at the cafeteria, becoming enraged enough to "smash his food tray on the ground."

The second-year pro has not been with the team since that time. Darlington reports that Martin immediately sought treatment at a local hospital. He has since left the hospital and is now spending time with his family, according to team sources.

Martin opened the season as the Dolphins' replacement for Jake Long at left tackle. He was moved to right tackle when the team acquired Bryant McKinnie via trade last week. Tyson Clabo is expected to start in Martin's place on Thursday.

UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones Says He Would "Kill" Richie Incognito

Add UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones to the list of people who are not overly impressed with Richie Incognito, the Miami Dolphins player currently embroiled in a bullying scandal.

In a radio interview Tuesday with The Junkies on Washington, D.C.'s 106.7 The Fan, Jones told interviewers he would "kill" Incognito if given the chance.

"I’d kill him,” Jones said, according to a transcript of the exchange. “Someone tweet him, let him know I’d smoke him. Easy."

Though Jones was obviously joking, he did seem aware of and agitated by the public accounts of the drama surrounding Incognito, who was suspended indefinitely by the Miami Dolphins after accusations surfaced that he had bullied teammate Jonathan Martin, who abruptly left the team two weeks ago.

The case has made national headlines and added fuel to an ongoing discourse over bullying in the workplace.

Incognito, an offensive lineman who was named to the Pro Bowl in 2012, has a long history of behavioral issues and personal problems.

While playing football in college, he was dismissed from the University of Nebraska despite his star potential following a litany of personal problems, including multiple fights and spitting on an opposing player.

Incognito then transferred to the University of Oregon, but was kicked off the team a week after joining it because of unspecified issues.

Despite this baggage, he was drafted into the NFL, where he acquired a reputation for dirty play and confrontation with players and coaches. In the wake of Martin’s departure from the Dolphins, a now-well-publicized voicemail from Incognito surfaced. In the call, Incognito hurled brutal insults at Martin, including a racial slur for African-Americans.

Jones, 26, won the UFC light heavyweight title in 2011 and has since defended it six times. His older brother, Arthur, is a defensive lineman for the Super Bowl-champion Baltimore Ravens. His younger brother, Chandler, is a defensive lineman for the New England Patriots.

Ok fine but line Jones up across as a tackle and he'd eat dirt.

He'd rape Mitrione, a former NFL 3 tech (IIRC).

First, Jon Jones is a pussy and an attention whore! Second, I doubt he'd get very far with RI unless he brings something more than his fists!

LOL, Jones is just playing the game of any publicity is good publicity. He's a bitch-ass punk at best. Hell, I'm sure the girls in MMA can take his goofy pussy ass 19 times out of 20!

Hey Jon Jones, YOU'RE a pussy! Bitch!

See, all tough talk that the Internet doesn't make you backup!

Kinda... I'm just not impressed with what he says... And telling people you'd kill them on the Internet is pretty weak..

He said it (jokingly) in an interview, not 'on the internet', and I have real doubts he pulled it out of his butt. Someone went fishing and then got something they could use.

Besides, he quite literally could probably kill Richie.

Yeah, I'm sure he would be scared to face Richie in the octagon or on the street. Obviously he was clowing around, but if he wasn't I'm pretty sure he can back up those words.

I bet he'd be more than willing to fight him if he got paid for it. I doubt Incognito would.
