LOOK: Cleveland Browns’ Mack Wilson gets good news regarding injury

To celebrate the good news, Mack Wilson posted on Instagram with the caption, “See y’all soon.”

Earlier this month, former Alabama and current Cleveland Browns’ linebacker Mack Wilson suffered a hyperextended knee during a practice with the second team. Wilson was demoted to the second team after injuring Browns’ running back Nick Chubb during a practice which left Chubb with a concussion.

Wilson’s injury occurred during seven-on-seven drills while breaking up a pass at training camp.

When the injury was first reported, many feared the injury to be season-ending. Instead of it being a second ending injury, Wilson might be out four to six weeks, ESPN reported, after it was determined the injury would not require surgery. Which is great news for both Wilson and the Cleveland Browns.

Wilson also sought out a second opinion from orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews, who stated the injury would heal on its own without surgery.

To celebrate the good news, Wilson posted on Instagram with the caption, “See y’all soon.”

In his career at Alabama, Wilson recorded 92 total tackles (47 solo), 1 sack, 5 interceptions.

Wilson was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in the fifth round (155th overall pick) of the 2019 NFL Draft.

Last season, Wilson recorded 82 tackles (57 solo), 1 sack, 1 forced fumble, 1 interception, 7 passes defended, and 4 stuffs.

Roll Tide Wire will keep you up to date with Wilson’s recovery.

Former Chiefs WR Cody White, OG Jovahn Fair sign with new teams

Two recently released Chiefs have found new teams.

A pair of players who were previously on the Kansas City Chiefs’ offseason roster have signed with new teams.

The New York Giants have added WR Cody White, while OG Jovahn Fair has signed with the Cleveland Browns. Both White and Fair were among the 18 undrafted free agents that Kansas City signed after the 2020 NFL Draft. Fair was waived by the Chiefs in late July, along with five other players in an effort to trim the roster down to 80 players, which is the new offseason limit agreed upon by the NFL and NFLPA. White was waived with a non-football injury designation along with Javaris Davis, who briefly caught on with the Dolphins but was waived with the same designation.

White was atypical compared to the receivers that the Chiefs usually have on the team. He’s long and tall but doesn’t create much separation with his speed and route-running. That made him expendable in Kansas City when the changes to the offseason roster were first announced.

Fair also wasn’t the average offensive lineman that you see in Kansas City. While he started all four years at guard at Temple, at 6-2 and 310 pounds, he’s a bit undersized for what the Chiefs usually like at the position. That too made him expendable in the offseason altered by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The players are both late additions for their respective teams, so that means they’ll have be fighting an uphill battle to make the 53-man roster. It’s possible that both are in line to earn a practice squad spot for the 2020 season.

Look: Former Saints center Max Unger sheds 60 pounds in retirement

Max Unger started every game he played in 10 years with the New Orleans Saints and Seattle Seahawks, and has dropped 60 pounds in retirement

[jwplayer cgsDcENq-ThvAeFxT]

It’s not easy to maintain the bodies NFL offensive linemen work with every day. Between constant workouts and diets that reel in 5,000 calories at a minimum, more and more players have started looking forward to retirement as a time to cut back and drop the excess muscle mass their jobs demand.

One example is longtime Cleveland Browns left tackle Joe Thomas, who transformed his body after retiring back in 2017. Prominent Baltimore Ravens guard Marshal Yanda lost 45 pounds in three months after hanging up his cleats earlier this offseason. And while he hasn’t documented his own weight loss journey on social media, retired New Orleans Saints center Max Unger has also worked his way down to 240 pounds from his 300-pound playing weight:

Unger spoke with the New Orleans media in a Monday teleconference call, where he talked about his adjustment to life after football. He was eager to get a more-manageable weight for the personal health benefits.

He also credited the player who replaced him, top 2019 draft pick Erik McCoy, and added that he’d chatted with Saints offensive line coach Dan Roushar a few times about the rookie’s progress. Whether or not McCoy holds onto the starting job with first-round prospect Cesar Ruiz pushing him, Unger’s confident that things are in good hands up front in New Orleans.

Acquired in a 2015 trade with the Seattle Seahawks, Unger started all 142 games he played professionally (including the playoffs; 67 of those games were with the Saints) before retiring in 2019, citing injuries that had worn down his body after a decade in the NFL. Having gone out on his own terms, he’s now happy to kick back and watch his former teams chase Super Bowl rings like any other fan.
