Continue reading →: Falcons lose Brent Grimes for season
The Falcons came away with a huge win week 1, beating the Chiefs 40-24 to start the season. I know the Chiefs were missing their top two defenders, but the Falcons’ new offense was as advertised and it was a good win for them on the road, where they’ve had…

Continue reading →: It’s an issue of pain tolerance for Redskins’ Pierre Garcon
Pierre Garcon got off to a hell of a start to his season, catching 4 passes on Robert Griffin’s first 5 attempts, for 104 yards and a touchdown, looking like Kendall Wright tearing up the Big 12 with Robert Griffin last season. However, he got hurt after that and left…

Continue reading →: Bills lose David Nelson for season, Fred Jackson for at least 4 weeks
The Bills didn’t just lose the opener in embarrassing fashion, 48-28; they also lost two players for an extended period of time. Wide receiver David Nelson tore his ACL and was placed on season ending IR. Nelson is a largely underwhelming talent, who caught 61 passes for 658 yards and…

Continue reading →: Panthers expect Steve Smith and Jonathan Stewart to play, Greg Hardy questionable
Jonathan Stewart missed the opener against the Buccaneers and yet he has more rushing yards than DeAngelo Williams, who ended up for -1 rushing yards last year as the Buccaneers, owners of the league’s 31st ranked run defense in 2011, held them to 10 yards on 13 carries, even though…

Continue reading →: Giants list Marvin Austin as probable, Prince Amukamara as questionable, and Keith Rivers as doubtful
The Giants lost two key defensive players, Chris Canty and Terrell Thomas, before the season started and in the opener, they were without their replacements, Marvin Austin and Prince Amukamara respectively. Both are, however, expected to play this week, though the latter is listed as questionable. The two players were…

Every team has injuries, but the Bengals are one of those teams that may have more than anyone. After putting two starters on the offensive line on IR before the season, Travelle Wharton and Kyle Cook (though the latter can be reactivated later this season), the Bengals were without 4…

Rashard Mendenhall did some work in practice for the 2nd straight week, just 9 months removed from a torn ACL, but he is once again very unlikely to play this week. When they first activated him off the PUP, the plan was for him to sit for the first 3…

Continue reading →: Cardinals will start Kevin Kolb this week
With John Skelton nursing a high ankle sprain that could keep him out 2-4 weeks, it appears Ken Whisenhunt has had his quarterback controversy solved for him as Kevin Kolb will start this week and possibly into the future. Kolb was actually the superior of the two quarterbacks last season.…

Continue reading →: Titans’ Jake Locker and Kenny Britt to play this week, Nate Washington, Colin McCarthy unlikely
Jake Locker went down with an injury to his non-throwing shoulder last week against the Patriots, but he’s been practicing all week and will start. As he returns, he gets Kenny Britt back from suspension, but loses Nate Washington, likely, with an injury of his own. Britt is an incredibly…

Continue reading →: Steelers to be without James Harrison, probably Troy Polamalu this week
When the Steelers play the Jets this week, the Jets will be without a key defensive player, Darrelle Revis, but the Steelers will also be without a key defensive player and maybe even two. James Harrison, who was supposed to play last week, will miss his 2nd straight week after…
