Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has been dealing with a shoulder injury for over a month, but it didn't look like it hindered him much in the NFC Championship Game. Hurts said Thursday that he's still working through it but expects to play.

Jalen Hurts on how he is feeling with his injured shoulder:

“I’m getting there. I’ve made it clear this whole time it’s something I’m dealing with.”

Says it is getting better with time #Eagles

more Qb news:

  • It was drilled into our brains yesterday, but yes, Tom Brady retired (again). Aside from the most obvious question - will it last? - another question emerged: Will he retire a New England Patriot or a Tampa Bay Buccaneer? Patriots owner Robert Kraft said he's hoping it's the former. "Not only do I want it, our fans are clamoring for it, and to us, he always has been and always will be a Patriot. We'll do everything we can in our power to bring him back, sign off as a Patriot, and find ways to honor him for many years to come." Oh yes, all we need is ~more~ ways to honor him.
  • Despite looking pretty hobbled after the game, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes says he didn't experience any setbacks with his ankle injury after the AFC Championship Game.

Tom Brady is retiring, for real this time (maybe)

On the one-year anniversary of his retiring for the first time, Tom Brady has retired again. And this time, it seems like it's for real (maybe). Brady wanted to announce his decision via video rather than the lengthy, drawn-out statement he put out last February. He said it's for good this time, but I'll believe that when I see it.

Truly grateful on this day. Thank you □□❤️ pic.twitter.com/j2s2sezvSS

— Tom Brady (@TomBrady) February 1, 2023

There were plenty of rumors about Brady playing elsewhere in 2023 - Las Vegas and San Francisco being the two favorites - and then a return to Tampa Bay was also floated as a possibility. It came down to a return to the Buccaneers and retirement. The Bucs found out about his decision around the same time we did.

Tom Brady informed Bucs today at 6 am he’d be retiring. One aspect I’d been mentioning for a bit now: Brady for months implied to many close to him that it was going to be either a return to Tampa or retirement. Tough for many to believe, including those close, but he meant it.

  • The Carolina Panthers have a new coach in Frank Reich, who has been on the losing end of quarterback battles since Andrew Luck. General Manager Scott Fitterer stated their preference in drafting and developing a quarterback in this year's draft. "If there's a guy in this class that you like, you got to go up and get him. We're in a position now where we have a defense; we have an offensive line. We built around this for this opportunity."
  • While the team has not begun contract talks with QB Daniel Jones, New York Giants General Manager Joe Schoen said the club is interested in bringing him back. Jones had the best season of his career under Brian Daboll and earned respect around the league. Unless they can find an upgrade, I'd expect them to re-sign Jones.

  • Trey Lance was supposed to be the starting quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers this season before he broke his ankle at the start of the season. Then the same thing happened to Jimmy Garoppolo, which left the rookie third-stringer in Brock Purdy. Lance spoke highly of Purdy and how he handled everything. "I was just super excited for him. He worked his butt off, all OTAs, since the first day he got here, since the day he got drafted. So he deserved everything he got this year and more."
    • Purdy is still considering options for his UCL, while most are recommending surgery.
  • The Atlanta Falcons enter the 2023 off-season with Desmond Ridder as their quarterback. Ridder took over for Marcus Mariota after their bye week and would be the favorite for the starting position heading into 2023. However - with a ton of cap space and a lot of veteran QBs on the move, the Falcons are an interesting spot to keep an eye on. General Manager Terry Fontenot said they're open to bringing someone in. "We're excited about where we are, but yet, we are going to add players... we always want to keep adding to the group."
  • Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott is signed through the 2026 season, and vice president Stephen Jones said the team is committed to him long-term. Prescott will be without offensive coordinator Kellen Moore this year, meaning he'll likely be learning a new offense with head coach Mike McCarthy likely to call plays.

Stephen Jones said the Cowboys are committed to Dak Prescott long term and are open to extending his contract.

  • Finally, some good news regarding Tua Tagovailoa's health. He has been cleared from the NFL's concussion protocol and should be ready to go in time for football season. The Miami Dolphins remain adamant that they are committed to Tagovailoa moving forward. However, the amount of concussions he has had in such a short time is still concerning.

#Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa has cleared the NFL’s concussion protocol, sources say. He met with several medical professionals in the process. They are confident he’ll be 100% when the time comes for football.

  • Justin Fields came close to breaking Lamar Jackson's single-season rushing record (and probably would have, had he been active in Week 18), but the Chicago Bears want him to do less running moving forward, as it took a toll on his body. "It's got to be a part of who you are, but in the NFL, it's hard for it to be who you are - you just don't last... So we've got to make sure we just tap into each one of those things, but running, for sure, has to be a part of who we are going forward."
  • Patrick Mahomes was estimated as a full participant in Wednesday's practice, as the Kansas City Chiefs did not hold a full practice.

On Tuesday, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Trey Lance told reporters he'd be cleared soon after undergoing two surgeries on his broken ankle. Lance is expected to be a full-go by OTAs. This is good news for the Niners, who are expected to be rid of Jimmy Garoppolo soon and have Brock Purdy out for at least six months.

Speaking of 49ers QBs, rookie Brock Purdy is currently awaiting second opinions on his injured UCL - a repair vs. reconstruction surgery will determine the time he will be able to return to football activities. Purdy told reporters on Tuesday that he will make a final decision soon.

more QB news:

  • The Pittsburgh Steelers opened the season with QB Mitch Trubisky before turning to rookie Kenny Pickett in Week Four. It took Pickett a bit to warm up, but he emerged from the 2022 season almost in the postseason and is getting better every week. Tight end Pat Freiermuth agrees. "He was just so much more confident and so much more urgent and knew what he was gonna do. So it took him a little bit to get going, but showed that he's the real deal."
  • Trevor Lawrence will replace Patrick Mahomes on the Pro Bowl roster, as Mahomes has something more important to take care of.
    • Jared Goff will replace Jalen Hurts in the Pro Bowl, as he's also playing in the Super Bowl.
  • If you weren't sure if the Pro Bowl was a joke yet, you will now. Baltimore Ravens backup QB Tyler Huntley is heading to the Pro Bowl in place of Josh Allen. At the time voting closed, Huntley had thrown zero (as in, none) touchdowns on the season.
  • It's not a secret that the Buffalo Bills made Josh Allen put it all out on the field. General Manager Brandon Beane says Allen took too many hits in 2022. "The only thing I'd get on to him is he's got too many bruises on him. And we've got to work on taking less hits. That's the only reason I'm ever going to criticize Josh is just take less hits." Maybe that's something Beane can work on this offseason; just saying.
  • Frank Reich has been through the wringer regarding quarterbacks - it started with Andrew Luck and went downhill. Reich is now with the Carolina Panthers and basically has a blank slate. Reich explained how his time with all different kinds of quarterbacks could help him decide which direction to go with Carolina. "I've had to work with the young, the old, the pocket passer, the guy who moves. And I think even though it wasn't always an ideal scenario, like in Indy having a different quarterback every year, I did learn a lot through it because you're forced to adapt and evolve your offense around different styles of quarterbacks."
  • Derek Carr will also attend the Pro Bowl, which should be renamed to Mid Bowl, at this point.
  • The Denver Broncos hired their next head coach Sean Payton, and one of his biggest tasks is to fix Russell Wilson. In 2022, Wilson had one of the worst seasons of his career, and his new coach is already somehow convinced he can be the one to resurrect the old Russell Wilson. "Russell is a hard worker and has played at a high level and won a lot of games in this league. The pressure is on us to put a good run game together and reduce the degree of difficulty on his position. I'm excited about him." Let's ride, indeed.

San Francisco 49ers rookie QB Brock Purdy suffered a complete tear of his ulnar collateral ligament, as was confirmed by an MRI on Monday. Purdy is crossing his fingers that he'll need surgery to repair it and be out for six months. If he needs an entire reconstruction, it may take up to a year for him to be fully recovered.

more qb news:

  • One of the biggest questions heading into Championship Weekend was how Patrick Mahomes would be able to move around on his injured ankle. Mahomes practiced all week through the pain and, while a little hobbled at times, brought home the win for the Kansas City Chiefs. "I just tried to do whatever I could to win, and obviously, there were times where you could see that it wouldn't let me do what I wanted to. But I was able to do enough on that last play to get the first down and get myself out of bounds and try to give Harrison [Butker] the chance to win." Mahomes will have two weeks to rest up before the big game.
  • The San Francisco 49ers officially need to sage the quarterback room - the bad luck didn't stop on Sunday. Rookie QB Brock Purdy left the game early with an elbow injury and was visibly having trouble throwing the ball on the sidelines. In comes veteran Josh Johnson, who played for like five minutes before he got bounced from the game with a concussion, forcing an injured Purdy to re-enter the game and play on a minimal basis. If it were one week later, they could have had a recovered Jimmy Garoppolo as the savior. "I wish I had a helmet," he said. Garoppolo will have a helmet next season, but it likely won't be with the Niners.

One of the biggest stories this week will be the availability of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes noticeably rolled his ankle in this weekend's game, took a drive off, and then came right back into the game. Mahomes was not his usual self, as he couldn't move around as much, but he still pulled off a win. Head coach Andy Reid said Mahomes is planning to play next week.

#Chiefs coach Andy Reid told reporters that QB Patrick Mahomes "worked hard on the treatment and is doing OK." Asked about his status, Reid says he's "gonna play" and that this isn't as serious as the one Mahomes suffered in 2019.

After the game, Prescott took responsibility for his decisions, saying they should never have happened. "Those are throws you can't have, not in the playoffs. Not when you're playing a team like that and on the road. No excuses for it. Those are 100 percent on me."
  • Brock Purdy is running the show for the San Francisco 49ers, but quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is supposed to be returning from his broken foot soon. However, head coach Kyle Shanahan said he'd be surprised if Garoppolo is ready to play this week.

Lamar Jackson finally broke his silence to address his knee issue that's been plaguing him all season.

Unwritten in this tweet is that Jackson doesn't sound like he'll be back anytime should, should the Baltimore Ravens advance to the next round.

Jackson was not present at Ravens practice on Thursday. Tyler Huntley appears to be in line to be the starter for Baltimore this weekend; he threw during Thursday's session, something he didn't do last week.

Thank you everyone for your support and concerns regarding my injuries. I want to give you all an update as I am in the recovery process. I’ve suffered a PCL grade 2 sprain on the borderline of a strain 3. There is still inflammation surrounding my knee and my knee

  • When I think of Joe Burrow, I think of one word: confidence. Confidence can sometimes be mistaken for arrogance, the vibe Burrow sometimes gives off (primarily to opposing fans). However, Burrow says you need to be a little arrogant sometimes. "You can't go out there scared in the moment. You have to be a little arrogant to go out there in that moment and make plays you need to make. In those moments is where I kind of make my best plays."
  • San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy has had a storybook start to his rookie year - coming in for Jimmy Garoppolo when he broke his foot and being able to keep it rolling despite never playing in the NFL before. Purdy says he's not thinking about that and is focused on their next opponent, knowing they'll go home if they don't win. "Yes, it's the playoffs, but for myself, I've got to do my job. I'm not trying to think about this storybook ending or anything like that."
    • Brock Purdy was named the NFL offensive rookie of the month for the month of December.
  • As we all assumed, the Las Vegas Raiders will begin looking at trade options for quarterback Derek Carr. The team is under a time crunch, as Carr is owed a lump sum of $40.4 million if he's still on the team on February 15th. Another thing to keep in mind - Carr has a no-trade clause in his contract, meaning he'll have to approve the team and location before being traded. Jim Irsay is salivating at the mouth.

Sources: The #Raiders will begin the process of evaluating the trade market for QB Derek Carr, as they prepare for a decision on their QB for the future.

Tom Brady-Mike Evans connection heating up

  • Mike Evans and Tom Brady haven't had the best connection this season, but things are coming together at just the right time for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Evans had this to say about his QB: "Tom was just dropping dimes. Those were some really, really good balls. This was one of the best games I've seen Tom play since he's been here." The Bucs clinched the NFC South title this week and have a chance to continue the connection in the postseason.
    • With Week 18 being pretty meaningless for the Bucs, Brady says it would "bother" him if he did not play.

"Sometimes you've got to fool yourself a little bit into believing a little bit more. But I definitely had faith I was going down scrapping, for sure. I do believe in the power of manifestation, and I do believe in momentum, and I believe very strongly in the force of the mind." Sounds like a quote straight out of a Disney movie.

We're not going to get that anywhere else." I understand, but I hope Eberflus crossed his fingers TIGHT that Fields wouldn't get seriously injured.

NFL says Tua Tagovailoa concussion was handled properly

1/1/2023

For the second time this season, the NFL and the NFLPA investigated whether concussion protocol was properly carried out with Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.

The NFL issued a statement on Saturday afternoon.

“The review established that symptoms of a concussion were neither exhibited nor reported until the following day.”

On #Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa, via the NFL and NFLPA: pic.twitter.com/BtKDEQ3IjG

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) December 31, 2022

Tagovailoa's head hit the turf in the second quarter of last week's game, and everyone missed it. It wasn't until the game concluded that a Twitter user posted the video on social media, questioning if Tagovailoa's three interceptions were a product of his slamming his head into the turf.

Head coach Mike McDaniel said he saw the hit on film the following Monday morning and pointed Tagovailoa in the doctor's direction, where it was determined he had suffered a concussion. Tagovailoa was shortly ruled out for Week 17 when it was confirmed.

The NFL, the Dolphins, and the NFLPA all seem to do the right things in saying that no concussion symptoms were immediately present (or they're trying to cover their asses). Still, a few questions remain: Why didn't someone see this sooner and allow him to continue playing in this game? Will Tagovailoa be shut down for the season? Will Tagovailoa ever play again?

Mike Tomlin said if QB Kenny Pickett (concussion protocol) is "able to work, we'll work him. If not, we'll get Mitch and Mason ready." He said when dealing with concussion protocol, you take it day-to-day.

  • Mac Jones was famously seen on camera visibly frustrated with New England Patriots offensive coordinator Matt Patricia's playcalling. Was Patricia offended by this (no pun intended)? He says no. "We're trying to win, so I love all that... I know [Mac Jones] wants to win, and he's doing everything he can just like we all are. So, that stuff's great."

  • It's not a secret that Matt Ryan is nearing the end of his NFL career. It's also not a secret that this year has been particularly hard on Ryan, as it seems he's constantly slammed into the turf at alarming rates. Ryan says he's not focused on if he'll continue playing after 2022. What will happen to my content?

Matt Ryan turns 38 next May and is under contract for 2023.

  • Brock Purdy remained limited in practice on Sunday as he tries to play through his injury. Purdy stated earlier in the week that he expects to play.
    • For an official "ok" to play, head coach Kyle Shanahan says it will be "probably" Thursday.

Kyle Shanahan said #49ers QB Brock Purdy (oblique/rib) will be limited in practice today.

The 49ers aren't going to do much on the practice field, but the guys listed as "limited" will be more limited than the others, Shanahan said.
