Found some replays on Twitter where you can clearly see his knee pop. What that means, I have no clue. But there is clear video of it and it certainly can’t be a good thing.

I think he’s cooked.

You are the same guy who said Tracy was done after he went down. You are worthless

The new slow-mo video shows his knee pop inwards. Hopefully it is not serious but sure looks bad.

Winston was my first thought, but the Browns let Huntley go so I guess they will keep him. Huntley is PS so would essentially be free - correct? Not sure if they can make a move until the next league week though

I believe teams can protect 4 players on their player squad each week. They added that clause during the 2020 COVID season and was on the books last year. If that is the case, the Browns could hold on to Huntley and try to get something for him in a trade. I think you’re right that the current slate of games has to be completed before new roster moves can take place.

Huntley signed with the Ravens.

I was holding my breath all night due to so many players slipping.

Not to go down the rabbit hole too much, but the NFL needs to look at these converted field conditions when converting fields that are not made with NFL football in mind.

I can think of 4-5 international games since the Mexico City debacle (game was moved to L.A. because the field conditions were unacceptable) which have had dangerous conditions.

from r/DetroitLions today:

International games should be punishment for teams that finish at the bottom of their division/conference.

Playoff bound or teams that have done well the previous years shouldn’t be made to play games in poo stadiums halfway across the world.

Owners don't care about this, NFLPA has to grow a pair.

They signed him to their practice squad, so everything I posted applies to him on the Ravens. BAL could opt to protect him or let another team sign him for nothing.

Going to also need opinions from his 5 hockey-playing brothers before I believe him.

I hope for an MCL and ankle sprain—or just one of the two. It just feels like he will be out for a while, regardless.

I guess I should say I hope he is completely fine, and it felt and looked worse than it was.

PJ Walker?? He is on the streets.
 
Not excusing the NFL for setting up games in less than ideal conditions, but I am not sure the turf was the issue on the Love injury. It looked like Carter was rolling over the ankle as he was being taken down. I hope it is nothing serious and he can return soon.

Flacco. He can still get the ball down the field and with the GB receivers that’s a good thing.

He’s backing up Richardson and I doubt they’ll want to give up insurance given ARich’s vulnerability.

That’s the question.

Does Indy want Flacco as insurance or willing to part with him for a pick? I can’t imagine it would take much.

I agree, but clearly, there was a field issue. I was hoping the game would end for all the players. I do not think Love's injury had to do with field conditions, but constant issues with players slipping and how it looked when Hurts and Love were planting to throw had me worried that there would be a major injury.

Listening to NFL players comment on it (J Watt, etc) the consensus was that a field like Brazil’s soccer field would lead to fewer, not more injuries.

With a slippery field, the field gives. The fields that cause injury are ones where cleats get stuck.

Watching Jordan Love’s injury he had a defender around his lower legs while another defender took out his upper half. No field in the world world contribute or prevent such an injury. That was just 2 dudes breaking another dude. Not intentionally, of course, but more of a flukey hit. Can’t really blame this one on the field.

It's week 1...everyone but the Ravens and Pack are 0-0 right now...no one is in a rush to give up their backup QB this early in the season...gotta believe Tannehill is on the short-list due to experience and availabilty....probably not a bad preemptive pick-up if you do Super-Flex and have a roster spot.

Current NFL Practice Squad QBs

There are no solutions here but you probably want two QBs so Willis....has someone to compete with.
  • ARI - Desmond Ridder
  • ATL - Nathan Peterman
  • BAL - Tyler Huntley, Devin Leary
  • BUF - Mike White

    My apologies if those first 5 triggered anyone

  • CAR - Jack Plummer
  • CHI - Austin Reed
  • CIN - Logan Woodside
  • DET - Jake Fromm Legit would hate for the Lions to lose him, he was impressive in P3 on no prep, Campbell was pleased
  • HOU - Kedon Slovis on name alone this has to be The One
  • IND - Jason Bean
  • JAX - John Rhys Plumlee why do they always refer to assassins and serial killers by all 3 names?
  • LV - Carter Bradley this guy should be on a ballot somewhere
  • MIA - Tim Boyle triggered
  • NYJ - Adrian Martinez OK for real this guy can play if you want a dual threat
  • PHI - Will Grier
  • SF - Tanner Mordecai as with Slovis and Modecai, the name is intriguing. by that I mean the name, not the quarterback
  • SEA - Jaren Hall missed him upthread, he wasn't on the Seahawks original squad; saw him last year, I think he should have went on mission
  • TB - Michael Pratt
  • WAS - Sam Hartman

Nice list

Big fan of Martinez too.
The guy has fun. We're always talking poise or calmness in the pocket and umm well loving life having fun will work too.
UFL MVP, caught Aaron Rodgers eye all summer and he's a fan too, good stats thus far regardless of league.

Green Bay had McGough in camp and on their team last year. He's firey fun and IIRC he was the great in the UFL too. He's often been a camp darling in the NFL and never plays. No idea where McGough is. GB fans enjoyed his antics last summer.

Clifford is there and he had more shine to him his rookie year. He struggled this summer inviting the Willis trade really.

Pratt had an up n down summer and yet another a lot of fans liked.

Tannehill was the year after Lafleur in TEN. Arthur and Titans were concerned of Mariota learning a millionth offense so he kept Lafleur's verbage and chose the best plays from prior OCs (including Lafleur) to create his base offense. Tannehill would probably be a quick study to get ready. He hasn't been that good in a couple years. He's been waiting on $ and starting opportunity and received zero offers to get those and has said how he's loving life in retirement. Tennessee had two of the worst OCs, worst lines, and worst WR corps so it's possible there's an argument he can do far better again. With 16 mil available, that's not near his 30ish mil he made last year. Plus the Pack would surely like to have some available for whatever arises in-season and not spend it all

Malik (other thread) great guy even better learner but nerves are obvious to everyone. Elite elite talent. The arm, the speed...he's as good as anyone on like Maddenish or RAS ratings. Real life is very inexperienced and nervous and it's tough to get him over those without playing time so it's a trap of sorts. His college WRs were all speedy lil buggers so he didn't even have a normal college experience. He's been coached by an who's who list of QB gurus on his own dime. Every QB on X comments instantly how noticably his form is better or whatever. The training is there but he has "no experience" anywhere near this level of play.

Jordan Taamu is my longtime favorite that can't get a fair shake in the NFL. He's been OPOY or MVP of a spring league like four times and gets two weeks in a camp where he barely gets any reps. He's AJBs BFF and has practiced with a lot of NFL WRs. He's who Heinicke backed up. Everyone comments he's way better than he was in college so I guess he had issues. This is 💯 just me throwing a name out there, zero GB connection.

You can be king if you're a real good or fun QB in Green Bay.

I would go with a former UFL guy. They're each "keep plays alive" types. The new guy is going to have communication issues and mistakes so having one that can buy time and overcome that would be big. It's crushing to morale when the new QB just gets flattened by a sack over n over. All of them have an IT factor too and the team needs to latch on to the new guy and believe in him
 
Ahh the internet- track their plane stuff

x.com

x.com x.com

I'm guessing we all expect an update when they land yet Lafleur will be like umm we've been on a plane not at a doctor's office or hospital

I think it would make a big difference.

The team has plenty of weapons.

Malik vs. say...Tannehill?

I think you move the needle from non functional offense to more than functional with that kind of add.
 
I forgot Logan Woodside. He's not a player but a future coach really.
He hasn't done well in preseason or spring leagues but Lafleur years ago really liked him and Arthur would too and brought him to ATL.

He's an intelligent QB room guy.
If GB wanted him they could have had him this offseason.

I could see the Packers adding a QB and then oh btw add Woodside to help the new guy learn quickly but not as a player.

If its long term…does Tannehill make them a contender? I think not. So, most likely they roll out Clifford IMO with Willis still the backup.

What he said
Plus they adore their soccer stars and surely have had a zillion conversations just like we do about turf and grass and injuries.
Love was excited to play there and called it once in a lifetime and...he wanted to be there.
 
Apparently they ruled out an ankle injury, which is sort of bad news as it means it’s his knee. They’d pretty much know if he had an ACL injury though, don’t hear anyone saying that.

Agreed...they are probably in deep **** no matter what but Tannehill is at least functional and worthy of a roster spot even if they believe in Clifford...it's just too early to throw in the towel and while they have a ton of talent on offense they are still very young, and you want to make sure they don't have a wasted year and they are still developing correctly.

Functional QBs are already on rosters. The idea that Tannehill is a savior that can just show up and perform in a new system with no off-season training and plug and play is wishful thinking.

Yes...but your first sentence is why you look at Tannehill...your other options are pretty limited...and I think anyone throwing Tannehill's name out there is saying functional not savior...no one could seriously be thinking that...very best case scenario would be Flacco with Cleveland last year and that would probably be a reach.
 
Tannehill's better than literally any other available option. So it's either him and, selling a sliver of a glimmer of hope, or some QB scrub and telling the fans to wait until next year.

Okay, if the bar is set at "functional" then yes Tannehill is the best option.

But it's not going to make a difference in terms of a team that had playoff and/or championship aspirations once again dreaming big.

Is it better for your fantasy teams? I guess.
Is it going to salvage the Packers' season? Not a chance.

All of this is assuming Love is done for the year. If he can come back mid way, for example, then yeah you go find anyone who can play decently.

I think this is good news. Most of the medical community were expecting a knee+ankle. Effectively, if there is no ankle injury—and if he somehow avoided an ACL tear (which Dr. Sutterer thought was unlikely—he was more in the fully torn MCL and ankle injury camp)— it seems to me that an outcome could be that Love escaped with a severely or fully torn MCL. While that still sucks, that would be more like a 4-8 week type of thing. Rumors are that Deandre Hopkins might be playing this season on a torn MCL.

Don't disagree as far as wins and losses but with their young group on offense I think it is important they don't simply waste a year if Love is done...they still need to play functional football (whether it is with Clifford or someone like Tannehill) and continue developing.
