I don't think those Pats teams were lucky...*

What are the rules for having to declare something like this on the injury report? Any draft picks at risk?

Based on the reactions after the Rams game... I'm gonna have to say for many, all signs point to not really It's so crazy how the rams game and the lions game was basically the bills being on both sides of the exact same coin/game script and it's so encouraging seeing how the team intentionally made adjustments to be that team in control against the lions by being much more aggressive early...not really hearing too many of the same people saying it was an example of self scouting and growth

High ankle sprains are a very different animal...I know he played on one last year iirc, but if they're more than very mild, playing on one can risk long term damage as I understand it...might not he his choice or just a pain tolerance situation.

My dad got diagnosed at basically the same exact age with I think the same cancer what I think would have been him being diagnosed 20 years ago this past August. Felt fine until he got jaundiced and felt really tired...he got tested and for a second they thought it was just a clogged bile duct, but then they did the actual conclusive test and it very much wasn't. He got chemo and was in a clinical trial for some immuno therapy...didn't get the surgery (it wouldn't have helped)...they had given him months, but with the immunotherapy he made it over a year and half...but yeah, basically same age of diagnosis and bile duct cancer as well. Bigger reason I'm sharing is that immunotherapy has come incredibly far since then...I often think of what would have happened if it was now instead of then...also think a lot about the fact I'm 40 now, and in seven years I'll be the same age when he got diagnosed

Instead you could never quite finish

Totally dead and I would imagine you have to do an onside, but I'm not super familiar with the rule. https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/nfl-new-kickoff-rules-onside-kicks-touchbacks-returns-2024/c0f89e14b7ea2e3f4c4eddb0

You can only do an onside kick while down and I believe in the 4th quarter now (since the new kickoff rules). Agree with everything else

Bile duct cancer will do that as well... Got my dad before he turned 50

Cancer in that area can very much cause that as well...

I played varsity lacrosse in high school...I now live in the raleigh area and go to Duke and UNC lax games, which I saw some crazy high ranked matchups, the quality of lax within a bit over half an hour from me is insane. Anyway, the speed and intensity of D1 lacrosse...it's really basically a different sport, it's insane

I want a Superb Owl so freaking bad now!!!

He's got a bunch of injury guaranteed money, so yeah I mean it was his call, but they'd be silly to risk an injury so just good gm'ing Edit: to clarify the good gm part I am referring to is the benching to avoid an injury guarantee, not the deal they signed him to. but.... didn't they also build in an out into that contract or am I remembering things wrong? Are we sure this isn't kinda part of the plan in a way? Have Jones as a bridge to get a new qb after the rest of the team got built up a bit first...if they're not fired, it could give a bit of a clue.

Anyone know if he has offset language in his contract?

Oh I want them to get this done so bad! No way he clears waivers...bring him in on the practice squad as the 4th qb
