Its not easy to play in Seattle and all eyes were on San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy. Purdy finished the first quarter 9-for-9 as the Niners lead the Seahawks 7-0.

The cherry on top was this 28-yard touchdown to tight end George Kittle.

----

The 49ers went on to beat Seattle, 21-13, clinching the division title.

Purdy was efficient in his first road start, completing 17-of 26 passes for 217 yards and two touchdowns.

more Qb news:

  • The Cincinnati Bengals are playing Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this weekend, so people will be comparing the two quarterbacks. Joe Burrow doesn't have time for that, though. "I don't pay attention to it. He's Tom, and I'm Joe. I really just think that I play the game my own way."
  • Desmond Ridder is the new starting quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons, and he's giving all the credit to the team for preparing him, even though he's a rookie. "I'm prepared for this. This is what they've been preparing me for. They didn't want to baby me. It means going about the game plan how a 12-year vet, an eight-year vet, whatever it may be, would."
  • Despite having a talented roster, the Las Vegas Raiders are about to miss the playoffs again. And on top of that, it's looking like quarterback Derek Carr may be on the move this offseason. Carr says he doesn't think about his future during the season (yeah, right). "I've always tried my best to - as I've gotten older in my career - just eliminate all of those things."
  • The Tennessee Titans have lost three straight and fired their general manager. But they aren't dead yet. Quarterback Ryan Tannehill acknowledged that they have to turn things around fast. "Everything we want is still right in front of us. You want to get hot at the right time. This is the end of the year. This is the point where we want to start getting hot as the season finishes."
  • Lamar Jackson did not practice on Thursday. Tyler Huntley practiced in full.
    • John Harbaugh said Huntley cleared concussion protocol on Thursday, but did not name him the starter for Saturday's game. (Hint: He'll likely be the starter.)
    • Jackson was officially ruled out for Saturday's game. Huntley has no injury designation.
    • Cleveland Browns defender Myles Garrett had some high praise for Huntley.

Myles Garrett on Tyler Huntley: "God damn, he's fast. It felt like you were trying to chase down a chicken doused in honey. This guy is athletically one of the top guys in the league."

— Jamison Hensley (@jamisonhensley) December 15, 2022
  • Trevor Lawrence's emergence is upon us, and he says he's focused on playing this way moving forward and, of course, proving the haters wrong. "Honestly, I have a little bit more of a chip on my shoulder now just because of the last year and a half. I don't really forget what's been said and what people have written. Now, you see people change their mind after a couple weeks."
    • Lawrence returned to practice on Thursday as a limited participant.
  • Drew Brees accepted a temporary coaching position at Purdue.
  • Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson wants to see Mason Rudolph start at QB if Kenny Pickett can't play. A bold denouncement of Mitch Trubisky? "Yeah, I wanna see him play. I know he's ready to play."
    • Pickett was limited in Thursday's practice.
  • Russell Wilson returned to practice for the Denver Broncos on a limited basis.

Russell Wilson will be limited in practice today. Dre’Mont Jones seeing a hip specialist. Not practicing today. #9sports

  • Justin Fields returned to practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's practice with an illness.
  • Mike White was limited in practice on Thursday with a ribs injury. Joe Flacco practiced at full strength, thanks for asking.
    • White says he has "no doubt" he will play on Sunday.

more qb news:

  • The Seattle Seahawks are taking on the Carolina Panthers this weekend, and it's a must-win should the Seahawks want to stay active in the playoff race. Offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo spoke about Seahawks QB Geno Smith's Cinderella-story comeback this year in the NFL. "You're seeing that with Geno, and that's just a part of playing the game. These guys go through a lot as they come up through the ranks, and they get a chance to play in this league. Sometimes they just need to get in the right situation, and certainly, that's where Geno is right now."
  • The last time Mike White played the Buffalo Bills didn't go so well. And that's putting it nicely. White says he's not thinking about that, though. "You can't go in there thinking, 'I want revenge for what happened last year.' What happened last year is over with. It's a different scenario, different team."
  • Even though he's unlikely to return this season with a broken foot, the San Francisco 49ers won't put Jimmy Garoppolo on injured reserve, according to GM John Lynch. "I think we're just going to carry him on our roster, and we're going to kind of see how the rehab process goes. There's a natural healing process that has to take place."
  • Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett was a teammate of Baker Mayfield's for four seasons, and said he was not at all surprised by his big comeback win on Thursday night with just hours of preparation. "I mean, it was impressive. And going back to watch it, he was putting some dimes out there for guys to go get early on in the game and it was just that time until it clicked. So I have nothing against the guy now. I'm hoping for his success wherever he's at."
  • Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said QB Matthew Stafford will not need an offseason neck procedure at this time.
  • The Baltimore Ravens elevated QB Anthony Brown for Sunday's game.
  • Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott were fined $13, 261 for their Salvation Army kettle celebration in Week 14.

QB INJURY UPDATES:

  • Lamar Jackson is listed as doubtful with a knee injury.
  • The Jacksonville Jaguars list Trevor Lawrence as questionable with a toe injury.
  • Tua Tagovailoa is off the Miami Dolphins' injury report.

Falcons make a QB change

12/9/2022

Picture
The Atlanta Falcons are on a bye this week but come Week 15; they'll have a new quarterback. The team is benching starter Marcus Mariota in favor of rookie QB Desmond Ridder, a move that came too late, in my opinion.

Sources: The #Falcons are looking to the future, making a QB switch to rookie Desmond Ridder as the starter. pic.twitter.com/x5GDff5VFx

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) December 8, 2022
Ridder was selected in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft after being a standout at Cincinnati. Ridder has not taken any regular season snaps yet, but he'll have extra time to prepare.

More importantly, Ridder's performance over the last quarter of the NFL season should give the team some clarity on if he is their QB of the Future.

More QB news:

  • First, they lost Trey Lance. Then they lost Jimmy Garoppolo. So now, in the thick of a playoff race, the San Francisco 49ers are forced to turn to rookie Brock Purdy at quarterback. Usually, I would be panicking, but offensive lineman Trent Williams sees a tough player who doesn't necessarily act like a rookie. "You would think he's been in the league 15 years. If you're talking, he'll say, 'Shut your ass up.' He ain't no timid rookie feeling his way around. He will get on your ass."
    • Head coach Kyle Shanahan spoke about the change from Garoppolo to Purdy and how it wasn't as difficult as it was to switch from Lance to Garoppolo. "Jimmy and Brock aren't necessarily running threats, so you don't sit there and design stuff like that, but they're definitely both mobile enough to make plays with their legs."
  • The Detroit Lions, surprisingly, are playing really good football right now. More specifically, Jared Goff is playing really good football right now. He acknowledged his play, pointing to it as the best of his career thus far. "I've played a lot of good football in my career, but I feel as comfortable as I've ever felt."
  • As expected, Lamar Jackson did not practice for the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday. Jackson exited last week's game with a knee injury. Backup Tyler Huntley should be the presumed starter for the next week, perhaps longer.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson did not practice for a second straight day on Thursday. He's dealing with a knee injury.

— Jamison Hensley (@jamisonhensley) December 8, 2022
  • Amid a strong 2022 for Tua Tagovailoa, he had a head-scratching performance in Week 14. He was later pulled late in the fourth quarter for an ankle injury. But head coach Mike McDaniel says the Miami Dolphins' poor performance was more than just Tagovailoa's shortcomings. "From a football perspective, everything that went wrong wasn't a direct result of the quarterback. It never is exactly like that. However, we all know that he wants to play as well as he can, and he thinks he could have done better in that game."
    • Tagovailoa remained limited in Thursday's practice.
  • Trevor Lawrence did not practice on Thursday with a toe injury.
  • The Dallas Cowboys are the current favorites to land free agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., but questions have been raised about his availability coming off an ACL injury. QB Dak Prescott said it's a plus if he ends up signing, but they're good with what they have if not. "We like our guys," if you will.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott on free agent WR Odell Beckham Jr.: “I felt like the visit went well. I know us meeting, having lunch with a couple of guys, I know it well.” Knows it’s a business. “If we get him, hell yeah it’s going to help. And if not, I’m confident in what we have.”

— Michael Gehlken (@GehlkenNFL) December 8, 2022
  • Geno Smith was added to the Seattle Seahawks injury report on Thursday with a shoulder injury. It's unclear at the moment of the severity, but it is his throwing shoulder. So, it's something to keep an eye on.

Seahawks injury report --- still no Walker or Deejay Dallas. And certainly noteworthy that Geno Smith suddenly shows up as limited with a right shoulder injury. He was not listed with that earlier in the week. Smith did take a hard shot or two against the Rams. pic.twitter.com/VyXcJxw3Z2

Good news so far for Josh Allen's elbow

11/10/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture
Mystery has surrounded Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen after he suffered an elbow injury in Sunday's game. While rumors swirled that he had a UCL injury that may end his season (and, therefore, potentially the Bills' season), the team got good news on Wednesday that Allen is considered day-to-day and will be questionable for Week 10's game.

Head coach Sean McDermott said Allen will not practice today (Wednesday), and while it doesn't seem promising for this week, at least his season isn't over. Day-to-day is definitely better than week-to-week.

Bills HC Sean McDermott on QB Josh Allen's elbow injury "He's day to day. And the next question is, 'is he going to play?' We'll see."

— Joe Buscaglia (@JoeBuscaglia) November 9, 2022

more qb news:

  • Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll is in the running for Coach of the Year, as he's lead QB Geno Smith and the rest of the team in a direction no one thought they were going. It might come down to the details, as Smith makes it easier on the coordinator by wearing a wristband. "If you notice, Geno's going off the wristband, and that's a big help... We never did that before. There was resistance to that, so we didn't do that before." A soft shot to Russell Wilson, perhaps?
  • Tennessee Titans QB Ryan Tannehill says he's still dealing with his ankle injury and that it's mostly a pain-tolerance issue. It sounds like it may be rookie Malik Willis again in Week 10.

#Titans' Tannehill: Going to be dealing with pain tolerance for a while. It's definitely testing my patience, doing everything I can to help it heal.

— John Glennon (@glennonsports) November 9, 2022
  • Amongst the dumpster fire that has been the Indianapolis Colts this season, former coach Frank Reich  benched QB Matt Ryan earlier this season, opting to go with Sam Ehlinger. Once a head coaching change was made, could they go back to Ryan, hoping for a different outcome (fat chance)? "If we decide to make a change, we'll make a change. It's not something we're locked into."
  • Justin Fields was named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week for Week Nine.

  • New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson tossed three interceptions last week in a loss, so what's he planning to do differently going forward? "The mindset is you've got to be aggressive.

New England Patriots starting quarterback Mac Jones was promptly benched after throwing an interception in the second quarter, and was replaced by Bailey Zappe who, you guessed it, immediately threw a touchdown pass. Zappe took the Pats' offense right down the field, going 3-for-3 for 54 yards and capped off by a touchdown to Jakobi Meyers.

NOTES:

  • Bears lost center Lucas Patrick in the first quarter, where he was declared doubtful to return with a foot injury. He was carted to the locker room.
  • Jones got away with a Diqq Kiqq right to the balls of Bears DB Jaquan Brisker. Brisker left the game for a play, and then returned to promptly catch the interception that got Jones benched. Taylor Swift sings about karma, and it exists.
  • Patriots safety Kyle Duggar limped to the locker room in the second half, where he was ruled questionable to return with an ankle injury.
  • Bears defensive lineman Mike Pennel was ejected after a blindside block on Pats David Andrews.

more:

  • It has finally happened. Through years of pain and anguish, quarterback Matt Ryan has been benched for the Indianapolis Colts, meaning Sam Ehlinger will start for the remainder of the season.
  • New York Jets rookie running back Breece Hall was confirmed on Monday to have torn his ACL in Week 7. Right tackle Alijah Vera-Tucker will also miss the remainder of the season with a triceps injury.
    • To replace Hall, the Jets are acquiring RB James Robinson from the Jacksonville Jaguars for a conditional sixth-round pick in return. Robinson gives them some much-needed help at the position.
  • Speaking of injuries teams being decimated by injuries, the Los Angeles Chargers are also down two players. Cornerback JC Jackson will miss the season with a ruptured patellar tendon. Wide receiver Mike Williams will miss some time with a high-ankle sprain.
  • Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said wide receiver DK Metcalf, who left Sunday's game with a knee injury, will not need surgery and will rehab the knee. That's good news considering.
  • TIP: Keep an eye on Denver Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett, who many think could be fired if they do not come out of London with a win.

It's never good when the most exciting thing during a game is a controversial roughing the passer call. After what happened to Tom Brady on Sunday, this call was somehow worse. Chris Jones was called for roughing Carr, who didn't even possess the ball. I'm not going to rant about this because it will take me all night, but the NFL has to do something about this. It's been two days in a row that the game has been affected by this.

Despite a shaky start, the Chiefs came away with the win. Travis Kelce ended the night with a career-high four touchdowns.
QUICK HITS:
  • TE Darren Waller exited the game in the first quarter with a hamstring injury and was listed as questionable to return. He went to the locker room in the second quarter after being on the sideline. Waller was finally ruled out in the third quarter.

  • The first head to roll: The Carolina Panthers fired their head coach, Matt Rhule, on Monday after a 1-4 start. The roster is putrid, so this isn't entirely on him, but his inability to create at least some sort of 'oomph' and desire to actually win was the nail in the coffin. Passing game coordinator and secondary coach Steve Wilks (who was one-and-done with the Arizona Cardinals) will take over as interim head coach.

Mayfield left the game just before halftime, and while he did finish the game, he was seen in a walking boot afterward. More tests will be conducted to determine how long Mayfield will be sidelined, but PJ Walker is set to start in Week Six. Don't even ask about Sam Darnold.

A new QB in Carolina

It finally happened. The Carolina Panthers traded for quarterback Baker Mayfield for a Cleveland Browns conditional fifth-round pick.

A new QB in Carolina: The #Panthers are acquiring former No. 1 overall pick Baker Mayfield from the #Browns for a 2024 conditional 5th-round draft pick, sources tell me and @TomPelissero. Deal is pending a physical. All parties split the financials to make it happen. pic.twitter.com/xuTLqosmZm

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) July 6, 2022

The Panthers only pay $5 million of Mayfield's 2022 salary, while the Browns will pay more than twice that to get him out of town ($10.5 million). As a result, Cleveland will go into September with Jacoby Brissett as their starting quarterback, assuming Deshaun Watson will be suspended at the start of the season.

And to make things more interesting? The Browns and Panthers play each other in Week One.

Demariyus Thomas had Stage Two CTE

Former Denver Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas unexpectedly passed away at age 33 last December. Doctors at Boston University have now determined that the star WR had stage two CTE at his time of death.

Breaking: Beloved #NFL WR Demaryius Thomas had Stage 2 #CTE when he died at 33. I arranged his brain donation to the VA-BU-@ConcussionLF Brain Bank where @annmckeemd @bu_cte made the diagnosis. He struggled with erratic behavior, memory loss, & paranoia. https://t.co/7t8x4Q7WQV

— Chris Nowinski, Ph.D. (@ChrisNowinski1) July 5, 2022
Thomas was known to suffer from seizures in the last years of his life, one of which caused a 2019 car accident. One of the more disturbing quotes stated in the doctors' report was regarding these seizures. "His behavior became increasingly erratic in the last year of his life, which was marked by the memory loss, paranoia, and isolation that are hallmarks of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, the degenerative brain disease linked to repeated head hits."

While an official cause of death has not yet been determined, it has been stated that Thomas suffered a seizure while in the shower.

Thomas spent eight seasons with the Broncos, where he won a Super Bowl and had four Pro Bowl seasons.

  • NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported on The Pat McAfee Show Tuesday that the Seattle Seahawks "have never really been that interested" in Baker Mayfield for the starting quarterback position. I'm not buying this one -- way too many reports have suggested otherwise. It's also possible Seattle is trying to push the Cleveland Browns into thinking they're no longer interested in lowering the price, aka make the Browns responsible for more of Mayfield's salary to get rid of him.

dk metcalf a no-show at seahawks minicamp

6/9/2022

According to several reports, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf was not present at the team's mandatory minicamp this week. Metcalf is currently in the Los Angeles area rehabbing from offseason foot surgery, but his absence is unexcused, costing him more than $90,000 in fines.

Metcalf is in the last season of his current rookie deal, with only a $4.3 million cap hit. Translation: WAY less than what he's worth, and he knows it. The Seahawks have reiterated that getting a new deal done with Metcalf is a priority, but talks between sides are currently at a standstill. Additionally, with the recent departures of both Russell Wilson and Bobby Wagner (two of the faces of the franchise), it makes you wonder if Seattle wants to go into Full Rebuild Mode and deal Metcalf for draft picks.

While both sides seem confident they will reach a deal before the 2022 season begins, this is something to monitor closely.

Can confirm D.K. Metcalf's absence from Seahawks camp is unexcused, per source. Subject to fines of up to $93K over three-day camp. Seattle has maintained that it wants to extend Metcalf but no major traction on that front yet.

  • The Cleveland Browns and quarterback Baker Mayfield have mutually decided that he will be excused from the team's mandatory minicamp. Mayfield has stated all offseason that he wants to move on, and Cleveland made the move to acquire the disgrace that is Deshaun Watson. However, even with a decision on a suspension up in the air, hell will likely freeze over before Mayfield puts on a Browns jersey again.

The Browns and QB Baker Mayfield have decided that he will be excused from minicamp next week, per sources.
