Vinny Curry misses 2021 NFL Season

This Wednesday the Jets put DE Vinny Curry on the Injured Reserve / Not Related to Football list, ending his 2021 NFL Season. However, through his Twitter account, Curry revealed the reasons why not you can see action on the pitch this year. He wrote that Jets doctors diagnosed him with a rare blood disorder last July, and that discovery led to the removal of his spleen.

Doctors initially thought it could be back in action in September. However, Curry developed blood clots and had to take blood thinners that will force him to avoid physical contact for a period of three to six months.

“While I am incredibly disappointed that I cannot play with my teammates this year, I am grateful that the doctors identified my condition early,” Curry wrote. “I have been informed that I am expected to make a full recovery and return to the field next season.”

The injuries for the Jets do not stop. Following the rupture of DE Carl Lawson’s Achilles tendon, Curry will have the same fate, and both will be out for a season. The defense of those led by Robert Saleh is in serious trouble by 2021. Can they overcome these heavy casualties?

Panthers send Denzel Perryman to Raiders

During this offseason Carolina signed linebacker Denzel Perryman under a contract of 2 years and 6 MDD, however, his stay in the team did not last long. This Wednesday night, via Adam Schefter from ESPN, it was confirmed that the Panthers sent Perryman and a 2022 seventh-round pick to the Raiders in exchange for a sixth-round pick next year. The deal is pending a physical exam.

The graduate of the University of Miami played his first six seasons as a professional with the Chargers and has accumulated 349 tackles and 5 sacks in 69 games played so far. Now, he will join the Raiders with Gus Bradley, who is currently Las Vegas’ defensive coordinator, but prior to that he had the same role with Los Angeles from 2017 to 2020.

The 28-year-old Perryman is back in AFC West, and will be looking to climb rungs on the Raiders depth chart, or even fill the starting job of Nicholas Morrow, who suffered a foot injury last week in practice. jointly with the Rams, and HC Joe Gruden noted that he will be out for an indefinite period.

Buccaneers will implement their own protocols against COVID-19

Heading into the 2021 season there is one thing that is certain, the security protocols against COVID-19 that were agreed between the NFL and NFLPA are a little more flexible than those of last season. However, the HC of Tampa Bay, Bruce Arians, does not want to take any risk, so he has decided to create his own regulations on the subject.

Arians said yesterday at a press conference that for this year the Buccaneers will implement their own protocols related to the pandemic, and stressed that they will be very similar to those of 2020. The main difference against the current ones: Tampa Bay players, vaccinated or no, they will not be allowed to leave the team hotel or receive family visits during away games.

“For us, life is not normal,” Arians said. “We are practically under the same protocols as last year (…). Once we hit 53, even this weekend, our guys will make a lot of sacrifices that have to be made now. Families in the hotel, all those things are out of the question. There are league rules and then there are my rules (…). I don’t give a shit if they’re vaccinated or not. They won’t go anywhere [los jugadores]”.

This decision by Arians is probably a consequence of what happened to his kicker Ryan Succop, who was fully vaccinated, but tested positive for COVID-19 after a dinner he had with members of the Titans – his former team – last weekend week. NFL rules currently state that fully vaccinated players can interact with vaccinated family and friends during away games, however that will not apply to the Buccaneers this season.

Matt Hasselbeck and Mike Holmgren to Enter Seattle’s Ring of Honor

This Wednesday, the Seahawks announced that Matt Hasselbeck and Mike Holmgren will be inducted. in the team’s Ring of Honor during the 2021 NFL Season. Hasselbeck will be inducted at the MNF halftime on October 25 when Seattle faces New Orleans. For his part, Holmgren will be commemorated at halftime on October 31 against Jacksonville. Both were key members of the Seahawks’ appearance in Super Bowl XL.

“The Seahawks are thrilled to honor two of the most beloved individuals in our franchise history with their addition to the Seahawks Ring of Honor,” team president Chuck Arnold said in a statement. “The head coach and Matt took the organization to new heights during their decade together.

Hasselbeck came to Seattle in 2001 after serving as a backup with Green Bay for his first three seasons as a professional. During his tenure with the Seahawks, the Boston College graduate was a Pro Bowler three times and led the franchise in completions (2,559), total yards (29,434) and wins (74), until he was outscored by Russell Wilson.

So, they will see him play sometime on Sunday night (…). We are excited that he is here and he will be given every opportunity, like everyone else on the roster. “

However, Smith, who has yet to clarify how much action time Rosen will see this weekend, decided to reserve his comments on the UCLA graduate’s first practice with the team: “It was day one, he has done everything we asked him to do. up to now. We will add some more plays for him tomorrow and see how he handles it, “he concluded.

Rosen’s job with Atlanta will be to overtake Arkansas quarterback Feleipe Franks for the QB2 spot behind Matt Ryan. The Falcons are Rosen’s fifth team in his so far short and disappointing NFL career. In three years as a professional – two seasons played – he has only 2,845 total yards, 11 TDs and 14 INTs.
