One of the most intriguing Week 2 games will take place at Jerry World as the New York Jets face off against the Dallas Cowboys. New York won on Monday Night Football last week 22-16 against the Buffalo Bills, while Dallas blanked the Giants on Sunday Night Football 40-0. The story of this game will be how the Jets look without quarterback Aaron Rodgers, but they are still full of weapons. Both defenses have the ability to be one of the best in the entire sport this season, and it will depend on which offense can get going. Will Dallas…

The Philadelphia Eagles have a short week as they play on Thursday Night Football against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 2 but will be short one-star player on the defensive side of things. It is being reported that second-year linebacker Nakobe Dean will be placed on Injured Reserve with a foot injury. https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/1701659694287192535 He suffered the injury in the Week 1 road victory over the New England Patriots on Sunday and now will miss at least four weeks. Any player can stay on Injured Reserve for as long as needed but comes with a minimum of four weeks he will…
The National Football League has a lot of incredible stories about players returning from injury, and we have another one. Former Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen is reportedly signing with the Carolina Panthers to their practice squad. https://twitter.com/nfl_dovkleiman/status/1701738749124620712?s=46&t=5w0PIeipByjOOXmrSftv7Q The team has not officially announced the signing, but his wife took to social media to show her appreciation to her husband. Cohen has not played since the 2020 season, as he suffered knee injuries that only allowed him to play in three games. While working out for a return, he suffered a torn Achilles tendon but is now completely healthy…

The 2023 New York Jets may have won the opening game of the season but lost the season as quarterback Aaron Rodgers has officially suffered a complete tear of his left Achilles tendon and will miss the entire season. https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/1701611726964416769 He suffered the injury four offensive snaps into his Jets career and was immediately helped off the field and carted to the locker room. Coach Robert Saleh stated in the post-game press conference that backup Zach Wilson will be the starting quarterback for the remainder of the season but do not be surprised if general manager Joe Douglas is working…
A lot of players have incentives in their contracts based on their performance and get down to the wire before securing it. Not safety Jordan Whitehead. He plays by a different set of rules. The New York Jets agreed to an incentive in Whitehead’s contract where he would get a $250,000 bonus if he recorded three interceptions. However, it did not take long for that to come to fruition as Whitehead intercepted three Josh Allen passes in their Week 1 overtime victory on Monday Night Football over the Buffalo Bills. https://twitter.com/ComplexSports/status/1701604430909768105 Whitehead signed a one-year, $5.25 million contract with the Jets…
The Denver Broncos are looking to get the stench of last season off the franchise, but news surrounding one of their top offensive weapons seems a bit bleak. Adam Schefter is reporting that tight end Greg Dulcich is expected to be out multiple weeks due to a hamstring injury. https://twitter.com/ZacStevensDNVR/status/1701604940773548476 This is not the first time Dulcich has dealt with a hamstring injury, as this same injury forced him to miss five games last season before recovering. The injury then re-emerged and made Dulcich have to sit out the final two games of the season. Coach Sean Payton is said…
The Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones officially ended his holdout with the team as they have agreed to a one-year contract extension. The details surrounding the contract began to come out on Tuesday morning to see what exactly it took to get him back on the field after missing the opening game against the Detroit Lions on Tuesday. Holdout over: The #Chiefs and DT Chris Jones have agreed to terms on a 1-year deal done by @KatzBrosSports. pic.twitter.com/w4pj888nJf — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) September 11, 2023 Ian Rapaport of the NFL Network and NFL.com is reporting some of the…
The New York Jets did not have the start to the Aaron Rodgers era that they anticipated, as after four offensive snaps, he left the game with an ankle injury against the Buffalo Bills. While there is no official ruling on the injury, it could be a lot of time that the veteran quarterback is forced to miss. https://twitter.com/NFL_DovKleiman/status/1701408960127844611?s=20 This Jets team is built to make a Super Bowl run when completely healthy, and if Rodgers is out for an extended time, they will look to perform similarly to the Mark Sanchez team of a decade ago. But what are…
The holdout between defensive tackle Chris Jones and the Kansas City Chiefs has officially ended, as the two sides have agreed to a one-year deal, according to Ian Rapoport. While the financial information has not been reported on as of this writing, it will be interesting to see if the relationship is fractured with no long-term extension. He has already lost $3.6 million this season as he was fined around $2 million for missing training camp, missed out on $500,000 for a workout bonus, and forfeited a $1.1 million game check for missing Thursday’s Week 1 game against the Detroit…
