Rhode Island defensive lineman Mike Rinaldi took a helmet square to the face from his teammate while making a tackle in the red zone against Marshall on Saturday night. When Rinaldi emerged from the pile-up, he had a huge gash in his forehead and his face was covered in blood.
In the video below, you can see Rinaldi dragging down Marshall running back Devon Johnson when another RIU player comes flying in to help with the tackle. Unfortunately, for Rinaldi, his helmet flew off during the play, and his face collided with his teammate's face mask.
Marshall won 42-7. But RIU might want to at least give a game ball to Rinaldi for his effort and another to the equipment manager — for the extra cleanup.
