...The Texans will not have Mixon’s backup, Dameon Pierce, again as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury.

Cam Akers carried the load last week but rushed for only 21 yards on nine carries against the Vikings.

The Texans also ruled out receiver Tank Dell (chest) and safety Jimmie Ward (groin)...

The Buccaneers will play Sunday’s game against the Eagles without defensive lineman Calijah Kancey (calf) and safety Antoine Winfield Jr. (foot). Coach Todd Bowles said both players are ruled out.

Offensive tackle Luke Goedeke still has not passed concussion protocol after missing two games and is questionable. Defensive lineman Vita Vea (knee), running back Bucky Irving (hamstring), tight end Ko Kieft (ankle) and wide receiver Kameron Johnson (ankle) also are questionable...

Cleveland gonna Cleveland. Firing AVP and not bringing back Flacco were two unforced errors:

The 2023 Comeback Player of the Year almost didn’t have a spot to come back to in 2024.

Quarterback Joe Flacco, who reiterated in a post-game call to PFT that he plans to play as long as he can, came off the bench and got a win in relief of starter Anthony Richardson.

Flacco explained that he was interested in the Colts because of his shared time in Philly with Indy coach Shane Steichen. More importantly, and as Flacco said, the phone wasn’t exactly ringing off the hook.

It definitely didn’t ring from Cleveland. He said they made him no offer to return for 2024...

Joe Flacco: Browns never made me an offer for 2024

Given the way the Steelers want to play, this is a big loss:

The Steelers have sustained a major injury along their offensive line.

Per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, right guard James Daniels has suffered a torn Achilles and will be out for the rest of the 2024 season...

The league wide problem continues to be a problem league wide:

The Chargers slumped to a 17-10 home loss to the Chiefs on Sunday afternoon and head coach Jim Harbaugh focused on the team’s pass protection when talking about why the team fell short.

Quarterback Justin Herbert played on an injured ankle and was sacked twice while being pressured 12 times over the course of the afternoon. Several of those pressures led to throws while Herbert was being hit and the quarterback ended the day 16-of-27 for 179 yards.

“We’ve got to get Justin another half-second, second, we really do,” Harbaugh said, via Kris Rhim of ESPN.com. “I mean, he’s trying to get the ball out as fast as he possibly can, and he is. And like I said, some of those throws that he made, I mean I don’t have the adjective for it. It’s warrior-like; it’s everything within his human power, and then some, is the way I look at it. It’s incredible what he can do. We do need to get him more [time], just another second.”..

Jim Harbaugh: We need to give Justin Herbert more time to throw



For the Chargers, things should get better, as they should have both starting OTs returning at some point. But team after team after team is having major problems with the OL.

Flacco > Watson

Watson's collapse as a player is something I'm not sure we've ever seen before.

Panthers head coach Dave Canales’s press conference on Monday featured a lot of injury news, including confirmation that linebacker Shaq Thompson will miss the rest of the season.

Canales confirmed that Thompson tore his Achilles during Sunday’s loss to the Bengals. Thompson has been with the Panthers since being drafted in the first round in 2015 and also missed most of last season with a fractured fibula...

I can’t think of another quarterback who lost a year to suspension in his prime. Most of the time, it’s injuries. And, as we saw with Brady, it can take a year or more to get back what you lost.

Yeah.... He missed all of 2021 because of the situation the Texans (trade demand and lawsuits). He's since played in 6,6 and 4 games in the following seasons, including that 2022 season where he sat out the 11 game suspension, and he hasn't good in any of those stints. And, while he did have shoulder surgery last season, that's obviously not the whole of it.

Whispers no louder than a meme that Bekichick could end up in Philadelphia.

Maybe already discussed. Just gossip ATM I suppose but I think that would be .

I don’t root for the Eagles or care at all if they win or lose most times, but I like the team and their fanbase more than any other Non-Patriot team in the league just based on franchise, interaction, and laundry.

I think a certain element of the unique gung-honess with Boston and Philadelphia that lit the fuse of the War for Independence is a little evident in each region’s fanbase, so I like Philly.

If Belichick went there I’d root for them. I honestly don’t think Belichick would go to a warm-climate football team. I think he would want to reemerge in his hoodie for NFL films & History with a storied cold weather blue-collared fanatical-fanbase team and do some fucking damage.

Wouldn’t root for him as hard as I rooted for Tom, who I rooted for to whip our fucking asses, but if we’re chasing draft picks a Belichick championship with the Eagles would be fucking dope.

just a tiny dose of the karma overdue for that team

I think the league would love for the Chiefs to be a three time champion and "dethrone" the Patriots. I think they can make it happen.

I despise the Eagles but am fine if BB goes there as he will tank them even more ...
