Looks like major injury was avoided for Rob Ninkovich:
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Patriots DE Rob Ninkovich (triceps) is expected to miss 4-6 weeks.
This news is about as good as the Patriots could have hoped for after Ninkovich was hurt on Tuesday. By the sound of it, Ninkovich simply tore his triceps muscle, not the tendon, which would have required surgery and a likely trip to I.R. Ninkovich could be ready Week 1 at the earliest. At the very worst, he'll be back at some point in September and maybe miss just two games.
Tyler Higbee doing really well in camp after falling in the draft because he stood up for his gf who was being harassed by a black muslim. I guess it's ok for blacks to run their mouths but when a white player does it the defense wants to punch him in the face.
Sports Illustrated's Greg Bedard reports Rams fourth-round TE Tyler Higbee is having a "great" training camp.
Bedard went as far to attach a Travis Kelce comparison to Higbee, noting the rookie's "swagger, playing style, and the defense wanting to punch him in the face." Kelce plays with a noticeable edge, and Higbee seems to be in the same mold. Higbee (6'6/249) would have come off the board before the fourth round if not for some serious off-field concerns. In a Rams offense devoid of playmaking pass catchers, Higbee has a chance to play a ton of snaps right out of the gate. But it's worth noting, rookie tight ends face one of the steepest learning curves in the sport. Higbee is someone to target in Dynasty with an eye toward 2017.
I had decent hopes Hue Jackson would be a rational head coach but this comment just about sums him up:
Browns coach Hue Jackson said Monday he's "tickled pink" by Robert Griffin III's upside this season.
The Browns have armed RG3 with quietly impressive weapons and set him up for success as best they can. They drafted Corey Coleman, locked up Gary Barnidge, return Duke Johnson and one of the league's more underrated offensive lines, and are expected to get back Josh Gordon in Week 5. Currently not being selected in most fantasy drafts, Griffin could become an intriguing in-season streamer.
Hopefully the Gremlin fails again. I feel bad for McCown as Manziel beat him out of the job last year only to squander his career away and now he was not even involved in a competition because the Gremlin was once again coddled and given the job.
