The strange saga of Miami Dolphins defensive end Dimitrius Underwood recently took yet another unusual twist when the 22-year-old checked into a mental-health clinic following his release from a Lansing, MI, hospital where he was treated for self-inflicted knife wounds.
Police say the 6-foot-6, 276-pound Underwood slashed his neck with two steak knives afar pacing around the home of Chastity Dyer, the mother of his twin 17-month-old children, chanting "I am not worthy of God" during a Sept. 27 visit.
No one in the home saw him cut himself, but several people in the neighborhood saw him running down the street afterward. Police found Underwood covered with blood on a downtown street after getting calls that a man was yelling for help.
"He was somewhat despondent," police spokesman Lt. Ray Hall said.
