Should You Be Concerned About These NFL Player Injuries?

let's separate the impactful from the insignificant with one simple question news or noise let's start in Cleveland here Michael where Brown's quarterback Deshawn Watson was limited at practice yesterday with arm soreness of course his season last year was cut short due to season ending shoulder surgery he has not been the same quarterback with the Browns that he was with the Houston Texans is this news or noise that he's dealing with some preseason soreness oh it's definitely news I mean when a quarterback has arm soreness that's a concern you know and when You' coming off a shoulder injury with arm shortness that's a concern so yeah I think this is something to Monitor and you know look they have jamus Winston they have Tyler Huntley they're trying to trade Dorian Thompson Robinson we'll see how that works out but for me I think this is news I think you have to be concerned DeShaun Watson's only started 12 games he threw for 1116 yards last year or 14 you know in six games so he has not been very good playing quarterback and this is a team that needs him to play well to be an effective team and make the run as they open up the season as a two and a half Point favorite against the Cowboys and I think a lot of people are going to lean towards taking the brownies because of all the negativity but I'm not sure that it's at the point now where it's a little contrarian and you might think about Dallas because there's nothing that's happened in Cleveland with their offensive line with their quarterback that leads you to believe that this offense is going to score more than 20 points yeah had a flip of favorites in that game lots of money coming in on the Cleveland Browns because of what's been going on in Dallas to your point deshun Watson also a 40 to1 shot for comeback Player of the Year this next one Michael I feel like nobody's talking about for some reason Joey Bosa held out of practice again dealing with a wrist hand injury has not been on the field since a joint practice with the Rams on August 4th is this news or noise cuz I think it's news I think it's news because he's always hurt one of the things that bothers you about Joey is he can't seem to stay healthy he's a really good player an effective player he he's even been a role player but he's not been a full-time healthy player and so when he has a Nick whether it's a pain tolerance Nick or whether it's a legitimate injury you have to be concerned it is noise it is news yeah back to back injury riddled Seasons list limited to just 14 out of 34 possible games in 2022 limited to just five as he had surgery to repair an injured groin uh again big news in my opinion that he's still dealing with another thing here Tyreek Hill also skipped some team drills during joint practices with the Bucks this week we saw he had a brace on his hand the other day dealing with the thumb issue the star wide receiver favorite for offensive player of the year news or noise well I think it's news anytime a receiver has something wrong with his hands wrist you know arm shoulder you have to be concerned so I think it is news and he sat out look one thing about Tyreek H is a tough guy he wants to participate he's not going to run away from competition so for him to sit out it's News 7 to one favorite for offensive player of the year he was on Pace last year to break the record for single season receiving before dealing with a little bit of an injury Kyle Shanahan Michael says he's not worried about Christian McCaffrey's calf I got to tell you I am though because we know in his history with the Carolina Panthers one thing would kind of lead to another lead to another while the workload was very different in Carolina than it is in San Francisco and they've talked about potentially limiting his touches a little bit this year I don't like the sound of a preseason calf injury and what that could lead to news or noise I think it's noise because I think one thing I've learned about Christian mcaffrey he's you know he's been on teams that both my sons have coached for is this guy is diligent and I mean diligent he will spare uh no time and nor expense to make sure he's 100% healthy and I have full confidence that he will be 100% healthy Shanahan said he is obsessed with his regimen trying to get back to full health but fellow running backs Elijah Mitchell and rookie Isaac gendo were also dealing with a couple injuries they returned to practice yesterday which is a positive side but pretty dinged up running back room right now the Lions have been dinged up all over the place but Dan Campbell says his plan is to get jir Gibbs and Sam leaport back going next week but then I saw a report that pan Su left practice yesterday with a foot injury limp to the bench headed to the locker room news or noise I think it's news but I'm not sure it's real big news because they said he should be fine it's a spr and the big fell is pretty tough and he's really good and I think for sure he'll play in a game opening weekend on Sunday night when we get to see Al tie again which we're all looking forward to to see how that knots perfectly tied uh I fully expect Su to be there opening weekend there's no boot there's no cat there's none of that so that to me it's news that he had the injury but it's almost noise that he's not going to play yeah and I think it's news too that Gibbs and leaport are expected to be back very important weapons on that offense for the Buffalo Bills they have been racking up injuries themselves but head coach Shan mcder said wide receiver Curtis Samuel could play week one against the Cardinals he's been dealing with turf toe news or noise uh I think it's news I definitely think it's news because look you know when when you deal with these turf toe injuries they're problem you know it's not easy to come back from him I I I think you have to be really careful how you handle turf toe because with turf toe so it it it really is it becomes you know it becomes a an issue and it it lingers and it lingers and it lingers and if you don't get it handled it's a real problem how about this last one Mike Tomlin says Jaylen Warren's out this week with a hamstring that was suffered in the week 2 preseason game but it's quote not anything that's a long-term concern we saw reports from Jordan Schultz who said he could out be out multiple weeks Jerry duac said the expectation be he'll be ready for the season opener so we're getting a lot of conflicting things here news or noise well I think this is news because I do think you can't predict what hamstrings are going to do right hamstrings are so dependent on the player depending on the severity we don't know that you know the fact that schz has him out multiple weeks is probably true but look waren needs to extend himself and needs to burst and if that's if there's no power in the hamstring then he's not going to play we know he's important as we have seen in the preseason these quarterbacks for Pittsburgh really struggling so far they're starting center is expected to be sidelined with a torn rotator cuff for a good amount of time so this offense wants to get things clicking got to get healthy along the way as well
