Pretty rare for a cart to come out of a cramp or strain.  

I am guessing they thought it could be more serious.

Looks like it was already wrapped up if its the calf. 

That's what would make me nervous if I were a bengals fan. If he was already nursing a strain, this could be a rupture. I never like to see "calf" listed on the injury report.

Since I'll be looking for a Milton Williams #93, I won't have that problem.

Probably gonna have to do a customized jersey to get him. I’m guessing the only players without customization they have are hurts, kelce, smith, brown and maybe Cox. That’s what fanatics had last year without doing customizable jerseys. I’m guessing pro shop at the stadium might have more 

probably more to this response by you but I’m tired and don’t want to really activate my brain

Clever, Matt.

On the rich Eisen show, they’re discussing who may be known as the second best QB in the world after this year. Some arguments:

Joe Burrow is the common answer right now due to back to back AFCCGs

Justin Herbert could very well be the answer next summer if he can match team success to his historic statlines, the only thing Burrow has over him

Just 1 summer ago, Josh Allen was the consensus MVP projection. Was 2022 really that bad for his ranking, or can he capture the charm this year?

And Jalen Hurts was the guy who almost took the MVP from Mahomes. What if he has back to back similar seasons?

Lamar Jackson is the other guy here with an MVP. If he wins 2, we’re getting into HoF territory already. Their offense is expected to be much improved

And then there’s Trevor Lawrence. If he can get the Jags to the AFCCG and look good doing it, is that not on par withwhat Burrow has done for the Bengals? Burrow did beat Mahomes in an AFCCG to reach a SB though, so it is a tall order. But he could be the guy by season’s end.

But I’ll add 1 more caveat: 

Let’s say all QBs in the NFL play up to their expected potential this year. That would still mean Patrick Mahomes would be in another tier above everyone else on this list. But that doesn’t mean he’s in that tier alone. How quickly people throw away a player who was performing at historic levels.

There is an argument that 2020-2021 is the greatest 2 year stretch any QB has had in NFL history. 8500 yards, 85 TDs, 9 INTs, 70% completion, 117 passer rating. What the Christ. If Aaron Rodgers has another ultra-efficient 40 touchdown season, it’ll be 1a and 1b in the HoF tier of current QBs. He’s not #2 right at this moment, but I believe he has the best chance of being #2 a year from now.

Howie restructured Barnett's contract. Another W.

That’s actually insane. I know we’ve been hyperbolizing Howie lately but the new contract is way smaller. Barnett is a legit bargain now, unbelievable job HR

This will be an interesting year for an Aaron Rodgers in my book. I saw him decline last year.  I know I was not alone. Now he is on a more talented team with very good offensive weapons and a terrific defense. His offensive line is another story.  He is also in a very competitive division. Even the Patriots will not be pushovers.  They are well coached team, even if they are not as talented as they once were.  Not to mention the competitiveness of the conference he is in.

I would not be at all shocked if the Jets still fell short of the playoffs. I would also not be shocked if they won their division. I am in complete wait-and-see mode on this one.

Hurts could be #2 just because he's not in the AFC. If he plays like he did last season then he's clearly it. Mahomes is an alien but if Hurts somehow improves again then I don't know. It feels like treason to not say Mahomes is #1 lol

Allen seems like a season injury waiting to happen

Lamar's mvp was almost 5 years ago

Lawrence needs more time with good seasons to be in discussion IMO

Please tell me some of those incentives are to not get penalties 

And then he got cut

He was likely told he’d be cut if he didn’t agree to a new deal and knew he wouldn’t get a better deal on the open market. Win-win for both. 

Marcus smith or Danny Watkins would be the only jerseys worse 

 

We are in the final years of training camp.

Was he always on the books until 2027? Sounds like they just tacked on some dummy years to spread it out more.
