The Philadelphia Eagles cannot catch a break in terms of injuries, as it seems things continue to go wrong for them. Defensive back Avonte Maddox left Thursday’s Week 2 game against the Minnesota Vikings with a pectoral injury, but news has come out about the severity of the injury. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport is reporting that Maddox will have surgery sometime this week to repair a torn pectoral muscle. This injury does not have a timetable for recovery, and this ending of his season is not off the table right now. https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/1703780375929970972 This is not the first major injury on…

The Colorado Buffaloes have been placed in the national spotlight, and wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter has been a huge reason why. He has been a star playing on both sides of the ball and has gotten some Heisman Trophy consideration, but will be forced to miss some time. https://twitter.com/CoachReedLive/status/1703786891303084363 Hunter was injured in the first half of the game on Saturday night against the Colorado State Rams, where he was hit by a Rams safety Henry Blackburn, after the play. He returned to the game later before being transported to a hospital, but the specific injury was not announced. This…

When Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers was not activated for Week 2 yesterday, speculation about a trade happening began to come out. Even he was not exactly understanding the decision. https://twitter.com/thereal_cam3/status/1703464511775387892 However, he is in the final year of his rookie contract, and the Rams do not seem interested in keeping him long-term.  Akers is making less than $1.5 million this season before becoming a restricted free agent after the year, so this is a great time to get a talented rusher without paying too much. Which teams should be on the phone with the Rams to get…

The Green Bay Packers have been bitten by the injury bug to begin the season as they lost a few offensive pieces during the season-opening win against the Chicago Bears. It seems as if one of their biggest stars is going to be ruled out by the time the opening kickoff against the Atlanta Falcons happens. Adam Schefter is reporting that Packers running back Aaron Jones is not expected to suit up against the Atlanta Falcons for their Week 2 matchup. https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1703254545172770902 The team is also expected to be without wide receiver Christian Watson and that will be tough…

The Pittsburgh Steelers have been an outstanding defensive program but will be without one of their best players for a couple of months. Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo are reporting that defensive lineman Cam Heyward will be undergoing groin surgery today. He will be out for around eight weeks and could be without him for a majority of the season. https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/1702305452346773580 This is a devasting blow to the Steelers, as he has been a force throughout his career. Heyward is a six-time Pro Bowler and is a three-time All-Pro. He has 78.5 career sacks in his career and has been…

The Kansas City Chiefs may have lost the opening game of the season at home to the Detroit Lions 21-20, but reinforcements could be on the way. The Chiefs played the season opener without tight end Travis Kelce with a knee injury while defensive tackle Chris Jones was holding out for a new contract. Head coach Andy Reid spoke with the media on Wednesday afternoon and provided the following updates on the two impactful players for the team. https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/1702003202424467939?s=20 With the Chiefs heading south to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 2 and already 0-1 on the season, these…
