NFL News – Monday, November 8, 2021

In this Monday’s NFL news: Raiders sign DeSean Jackson; Terry Bradshaw Criticizes Aaron Rodgers; Harrison Smith out for Week 10; and more. Don’t miss the NFL news.

Raiders sign DeSean Jackson

After the Raiders decided to cut WR Henry Ruggs from the roster after being involved in a serious car accident, the team was in the receiver market to try to make up for the loss. This Sunday, via Josina Anderson from CBS Sports, it was announced that WR DeSean Jackson is a new Las Vegas player.

Jackson, 34, is a 14-year veteran in the NFL, and in the previous offseason he had signed with the Rams, however, last Tuesday, before the 2021 trade deadline, they decided to cut him from the roster after not finding no equipment to trade with. Jackson only recorded a total of 221 total yards and 1 TD this season in Los Angeles. However, his experience and productivity would have served Las Vegas well yesterday, which lost to the Giants 16-23.

The California graduate records 620 receptions for 10,877 yards and 57 TD throughout his professional career. He’s been a 3-time Pro Bowler, has an All-Pro nomination, and approaching the level he was once seen in Philadelphia or Washington, he can surely become a productive weapon for the offense commanded by QB Derek Carr. Will Jackson be able to make an immediate impact with the Raiders?

The 49ers have no plans to start Trey Lance yet.

The 49ers continue to leave more questions than answers in 2021. Yesterday QB Jimmy Garoppolo could not avoid an ugly 31-17 loss to the Cardinals that did not even have their starting quarterback, Kyler Murray. In the embarrassing performance Garoppolo completed 28 of 40 passes for 326 yards, 2 TDs and 1 INT, being sacked five times. However, despite this, he seems to have his job secured for at least one more week.

HC Kyle Shanahan commented that he never considered replacing Jimmy G with QB Trey Lance in the match, and that he also has no plans to make the trade for next week when they host the Rams: “Probably not,” Shanahan noted, “but I’m definitely not thinking about those things right now. I’m thinking about this game and the rest of our team ”.

When San Francisco selected Lance with the No. 3 overall pick in the draft last April, it was known that he would eventually take over the 49ers offense. However, the first half of the 2021 NFL Season is drawing to a close, and the former North Dakota State is the only one of five first-round quarterbacks in his class who has yet to become a starter for his respective team. When should Shanahan switch QB and give Lance a well deserved try?

Harrison Smith, positive for COVID-19; out for Week 10

Bad news for the Vikings. S Harrison Smith, who was out in yesterday’s game against the Ravens, will also miss the Week 10 game against the Chargers, as confirmed by HC Mike Zimmer in a press conference after Minnesota’s loss against East Baltimore Sunday.

Via Courtney Cronin from ESPN, the Vikings placed Smith in the COVID-19 Reserve just hours before the start of yesterday’s Minnesota game. The team was reportedly undergoing additional testing after offensive linemen Garrett Bradbury and Dakota Dozier were also included in the Reserve.

At the time of designation, it had not been specified whether or not Smith was vaccinated, but Zimmer has already ruled out his safety for Week 10, which is synonymous with Smith not being vaccinated and must isolate himself from the minimum team for a period. 10 days. Otherwise, I would have been eligible to return to training by returning two negative COVID-19 tests taken 24 hours apart, but this is not the case.

The Notre Dame alumnus came as a first-round pick to the Vikings in 2012, and in the previous offseason he renewed with the team under a 4-year, $ 64 million contract, so Minnesota expected him to become a biggest contributor in a secondary who allowed 34 points yesterday to finally fall in overtime to QB Lamar Jackson and company. Will the Vikings survive in Los Angeles next weekend with one of their best players out?

Terry Bradshaw on Aaron Rodgers: “you lied to everyone”

In more NFL news, last week the Packers were in the spotlight as QB Aaron Rodgers tested positive for COVID-19 without being vaccinated. The previous situation still needs to be clarified to know exactly what happened with Rodgers and why he violated the NFL protocols, however, there are already diverse opinions that revolve around the subject, and one of them comes from Terry Bradshaw, legend and former Steelers quarterback, who didn’t hesitate for a second to lash out at Rodgers:

“I’ll give Aaron Rodgers some advice,” Bradshaw said ahead of Green Bay’s game against Kansas City on FOX. “It would have been nice if he had come to the Naval Academy and learned to be honest. Learn not to lie. Because that’s what you did, Aaron. You lied to everyone. “

“I understand” immunized. ” What he was doing was taking things that would prevent him from getting COVID-19. You have COVID-19. Ivermectin [prohibida por la Administración de Alimentos y Medicamentos de Estados Unidos] it is a dewormer for livestock. Sorry folks, that’s what it is. We are a politically divided nation. We are a nation divided over COVID-19, whether we take the vaccine or not. And sadly, we have players who practically only think about themselves. And I am extremely disappointed by the actions of Aaron Rodgers, ”concluded Bradshaw.

However, this is not the only consequence that not getting vaccinated has brought for Rodgers. The previous Saturday it was announced that the current NFL MVP and Prevea Health broke up negotiations after nine years of association: “Aaron has been a partner of Prevea Health, serving as a spokesperson for and supporting the health and wellness initiatives of healthcare organizations throughout Wisconsin, since 2012, ″ the statement explains.

Prevea Health remains deeply committed to protecting its patients, staff, providers, and communities amid the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes encouraging and assisting all eligible populations to get vaccinated against COVID-19 to prevent the virus from further affecting lives and livelihoods. “

In 2019 Prevea Health had extended the partnership contract with Rodgers for 4 years. At the time, Prevea’s CEO commented: “As one of the most respected athletes in the country, Aaron is truly passionate about improving the health and well-being of our communities. His commitment to our message and his ability to add his own personal touch stems from his own passion for improving the health and well-being of Wisconsin. ”

However, this time, Rodgers’ personal view of his health and well-being does not revolve around the ideals of Prevea Health Nor Terry Bradshaw’s. However, now Rodgers only has to wait until next Saturday to finish his respective quarantine and return to the Packers while the league decides whether or not to punish him due to the multiple regulatory violations. How should the NFL act on this issue?

Kyler Murray and the most relevant injuries of Week 9

In the absence of the MNF, Week 9 of the 2021 NFL Season has almost come to an end. We had a Sunday full of emotions: the Titans surprised the Rams, the Jaguars the Bills; the Browns crushed the Bengals; and more. However, like every weekend, there were injuries everywhere and in this space we review the most important casualties.

  • QB Kyler Murray, Arizona Cardinals. Murray made the trip from Arizona to San Francisco with the team, but after not participating in any practices last week, he was finally declared inactive for the game against the 49ers. It should be remembered that Murray suffered an ankle injury on TNF’s last play of Week 8 against Green Bay, and according to Jay Glazer of Fox Sports, the mishap would put him out for 1 to 3 weeks, so the Cardinals may need to get used to playing QB Colt McCoy.
  • QB Tua Tagovailoa, Miami Dolphins. Miami’s win over Houston was commanded by QB Jacoby Brissett as Tua was declared inactive prior to the start of the game with, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN, a “small fracture” in the middle finger of his left hand. The Dolphins host the Ravens at Week 10 TNF so the former Alabama player will have less time than usual to heal from his mishap and his status for Thursday night is yet to be determined.
  • C Matt Paradis, Carolina Panthers. This Sunday was a difficult day for the Panthers as they not only lost to the Patriots, but they also lost their starting center Matt Paradis, who was ruled out in the first quarter of the game with a knee injury. Later, via Ian Rapoport from NFL Network, it was reported that Paradis suffered an anterior cruciate ligament tear and will miss the remainder of 2021. Center Sam Tecklenburg is aiming to fill in for Paradis for the remainder of the season.
  • Other notable casualties: S Jaquan johnson (hamstring), Buffalo Bills; RB Damien Harris (head), New England Patriots; LB Nick kwiatkoski (ankle), Las Vegas Raiders; CB Erick stokes (knee), Green Bay Packers; CB Darius slay (hamstring), Philadelphia Eagles; RB Chase edmonds (ankle), Arizona Cardinals.
