NFL - NEWS & NOTES

This is total nonsense.

Why don't you try an inkling of research, and see how Dez fared in 2014, when Dallas ran-ran-ran and ran some more with DeMarco Murray?

Oh, right - 88 receptions (top 10), 1320 yards (#8), and led the league in TD receptions.

 

Russell Wilson continues to play through injuries.​

After suffering through ankle and knee injuries, the Seattle Seahawks quarterback is now dealing with a right pectoral injury. Wilson downplayed the latest body damage Thursday, saying it's not "crazy, crazy bad."


Wilson has been listed as "limited" in practice this week for the first time in his career, per The News Tribune.

"Not concerned. Not concerned crazy or anything like that," Wilson said of the pec injury he suffered while getting battered by the Arizona Cardinals.

It's telling no one is fretting over a third injury for the Seahawks' franchise quarterback. The football world now expects the robotic signal-caller to play regardless of how much he's beaten up behind a leaky offensive line. If this were Tom Brady, America would be freaking out.

Wilson expects to play Sunday in New Orleans, but he won't be 100 percent.

The quarterback added that doctors told him he was supposed to be out four weeks, at least, following his Week 3 knee injury.

"I'd be lying to you if I said my mobility is a hundred percent. But I feel really good right now," Wilson admitted. (NFL.com)

Reeling Jaguars fire offensive coordinator Greg Olson​

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) ? The Jacksonville Jaguars have fired offensive coordinator Greg Olson, parting ways with him two days after an embarrassing loss at Tennessee.

The team made the announcement Saturday, saying quarterbacks coach Nathaniel Hackett will take over play-calling duties next week at Kansas City. Hackett will be quarterback Blake Bortles' third coordinator in three seasons.

Olson replaced Jedd Fisch after the 2014 season.

 

The Steelers expect to have Big Ben under center against the Ravens​

The Steelers QB is expected to participate in drills after his team's Week 8 bye...

When the Steelers return from their bye to practice this week, team officials anticipate quarterback Ben Roethlisberger participating in drills and being ready to face the Ravens in Week 9. Roethlisberger had surgery to repair a meniscus issue in his knee earlier this month, but the team's doctors expected a two-to-three week recovery time, and he is on schedule for that time frame.

Initial reports for a four-to-six week absence were not accurate, and Roethlisberger has been a quick healer throughout his career. Roethlisberger looked good throwing the ball and participating in limited activities before the bye after being inactive for the loss to New England in Week 7.

The Ravens are preparing as if Roethlisberger, and not backup Landry Jones, will start, sources said. (CBS.com)

 

Carolina got a gift. Palmer was throwing a pass and they called it a fumble.

 

I dont know whats going on this year with the officials, but it aint good.

 

Saints beat the Seahawks... 25-20.

Lions fall to the Texans... 20-13.

Cinncy and Washington in England ends in a 27-27 tie.

 

Alex Smith is ruled out after suffering concussion against Colts...

Colts CB Davis suffers concussion...

 

Chiefs wrecked the Colts... 30-14.

Jets grounded the Browns... 31-28.

 

Patriots smoked the Bills... 41-25.

 

Oakland wins in OT over the Buccs... 30-24.

 

Falcons beat Green Bay, 33-32... I like that! (sorry Packers fans)

 

2016 is the first time since 1997 there have been 2 ties in an NFL season. The Indians lost the World Series in 7 games that year.

 

Dak Prescott came alive in the fourth quarter to lead the Dallas Cowboys (6-1) to a 29-23 overtime victory over fellow rookie Carson Wentz and the Philadelphia Eagles (4-3).

 

Jamie Collins to Browns for third round pick, that's ****ed up man. I'd rather risk losing him for nothing and go for the SB. Browns will probably have to tag him to even keep him.

 

Interesting... goes for a 3rd rounder.

 

Titans wideout Andre Johnson retires after 14 seasons in NFL​

Less than a week after Arian Foster waved farewell to the NFL, another former Texans luminary is calling it quits.

Wide receiver Andre Johnson informed the Titans of his plans to retire Monday, the team announced.

Currently in Tennessee, the 35-year-old Johnson spent last season with the Colts after 12 sensational campaigns with the Texans, who made him the third overall pick of the 2003 NFL Draft out of the University of Miami.


The most important and accomplished player in Texans history, Johnson finishes his celebrated career with a whopping 1,062 regular-season catches for 14,185 yards and 70 touchdowns.

 

And reportedly a comp 3rd at that, which means it's at the end of the round instead of the beginning. Hate this deal even more than the C. Jones deal. Don't get it at all. Really makes me wonder if there isn't something else going on because as a football trade this makes zero sense. Collins has bouts of inconsistency and maybe slightly more ouchies than you'd like, but you can't coach the athletic ability he has and trading a defensive starter in the middle of a season for a mediocre draft pick when you're primed for a SB run is bizarre.
