Dylan Moses reveals that he played through torn meniscus last season

Former Alabama linebacker Dylan Moses revealed on Monday that he played most of the 2020 season with a torn meniscus.

Dylan Moses did not have his best season in 2020. After flirting with entering the draft following the 2019 season, he ultimately decided to return for his senior year to improve his draft stock.

Something wasn’t quite right, however, and his play suffered as a result. Well, we now know what that something might be.

According to the former Alabama inside linebacker, he played through most of the 2020 season with a torn meniscus that he suffered in the third game of the season. Michael Casagrande with AL.com — in addition to several others on social media — shared the revealing news.

At one point, people thought Moses would be a top-10 pick. Absolutely no one predicted that he could fall out of the first round, but it looks like that is a strong possibility.

In fact, the former five-star prospect might slide to Day 3, which would be a turn of events similar to fellow Alabama linebacker Mack Wilson. After being considered a potential first-round pick, Wilson fell to the Cleveland Browns in the fifth round (No. 155) of the 2019 NFL draft.

Hopefully that won’t be the case for Moses. He’s obviously got plenty of talent. At 6-foot-3, 235 pounds, he possesses great length, speed and overall athleticism for the position. The coverage ability is there, as is instincts.

At this point, it’s all about Moses getting fully healthy — and confident. Something I’m sure he’s working diligently on as he prepares for next month’s draft.

Browns LB Mack Wilson sent well wishes to Patrick Mahomes, who cleared concussion protocol

This is pretty cool.

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes status for this weekend’s AFC Championship game was up in the air for most of the week.

Last weekend during the Cheifs’ Divisional Round game against the Cleveland Browns, Mahomes was hit by linebacker Mack Wilson and suffered a concussion.

It was a clean hit, but Mahomes ended up hitting his head on the turf badly enough to keep him out of the game. Luckily for them, though, Mahomes was cleared by team doctors on Friday to play in this weekend’s game against the Bills.

And with that news, Wilson sent his own well-wishes to Mahomes as he prepares to play on Sunday.

This is pretty nice to see. Especially after Wilson was called out by Mahomes mother last week after the hit. Of course, he explained that there was no disrespect and he was just playing hard.

They peaced everything up.

Shouts to Wilson for being a great sport. It’s good to see Mahomes back and healthy again. Football is better when he’s at his best.

Browns LB Mack Wilson’s reaction to Patrick Mahomes being cleared to play is everything

A football is family moment personified between Mack Wilson and Patrick Mahomes.

Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes has officially been cleared to play in the AFC Championship Game. Mahomes spent the week in the NFL’s concussion protocol after a hard hit from Cleveland Browns LB Mack Wilson in the divisional round left him woozy.

Mahomes was a runner on the play and the hit was entirely legal, they simply got tangled up going to the ground. It was yet another reminder of the risks associated with playing a contact sport. Many attacked Wilson after Mahomes was knocked out of the game, calling him a dirty player.

Mahomes’ own mother Randi implied that Wilson was evil, but they eventually came to an understanding. Wilson said: “No disrespect mom I’m just playing hard… I just want to win and be great like your son.”

But Wilson showed genuine remorse for his hit following the game, praying for Mahomes to be able to come back and play in the AFC Championship Game. Mahomes didn’t seem to hold the situation against Wilson at all.

Once Mahomes officially cleared the protocol on Friday afternoon, Wilson sent out a final tweet on the matter: “Prayer has been answered.. Go ball out 15! @PatrickMahomes”

There’s no response from Mahomes yet, but he did like the tweet.

The truth is players never like to see other players hurt. They know the risks involved with the game and that the roles could just as easily be reversed in any injury situation. Wilson’s response leaves no doubt in my mind that football is family. Most of these guys genuinely care about each other’s well-being regardless of their jersey colors. It’s clear that’s the case with both Wilson and Mahomes.

Browns LB Mack Wilson responded to Patrick Mahomes’ mom after she called him ‘evil’ for hit

“I just want to win and be great like your son.”

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes suffered a concussion in the second half of Kansas City’s AFC Divisional Round win over the Cleveland Browns following a hit from linebacker Mack Wilson.

Mahomes sustained the concussion despite not taking a blow to the head from Wilson. It did appear that Mahomes’ head hit the turf following the initial contact, but it was overall a clean hit from the Browns linebacker.

That didn’t stop Mahomes’ mother from calling out Wilson on social media, though.

In the moments after the hit that injured her son, Randi Mahomes took to Twitter and called Wilson “evil” for the tackle.

Wilson and Patrick Mahomes had a classy social-media exchange after the game, but word of Randi’s tweet made its way to Wilson. And come Monday, the Browns linebacker responded to Randi Mahomes to explain that he wasn’t a dirty player.

“I just want to win and be great like your son,” Wilson wrote.

She would later respond to Wilson’s tweet, squashing any ill feelings.

Mahomes is currently in the NFL’s concussion protocol and must pass a five-step process in order to play in Sunday’s AFC Championship Game against the Bills. If he can’t go, backup Chad Henne will start with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line.

LOOK: Patrick Mahomes’ mom & Mack Wilson exhange words on Twitter

Following a hit that led to Patrick Mahomes being placed into the NFL’s concussion protocol, Mac Wilson has apologized to Mohomes’ mom …

Following yesterday’s AFC Divisional playoff game between the Cleveland Browns and the Kansas City Chiefs, star quarterback Patrick Mahomes and former Alabama linebacker Mack Wilson exchanged words on Twitter after Wilson tackled Mahomes, which led to the 2019 MVP being placed into NFL’s concussion protocol.

Wison had expressed apologies to Mahomes on social media, and also defended his name after many fans claimed he was a dirty player. Mahomes responded, seemingly dismissing the whole thing and accepting the apology.

Mahomes’ mom, Randi, also took to Twitter to call out Wilson. Stating “evil never wins,” and included Wilson’s jersey number.

The tweet seemed to be a direct call-out of Wilson’s hit on Mahomes.

Wilson, who has taken every opportunity possible in order to let it be known the hit was not intentional and that he is not a ‘dirty player,’ responded directly.

Browns inactives and lineup changes for Sunday Night Football vs. Giants

Denzel Ward is back while the Giants make Daniel Jones inactive

The Cleveland Browns announced their pregame inactive list for tonight’s Sunday Night Football matchup with the New York Giants.

Starting linebacker Mack Wilson headlines the list of three starters that will not play at MetLife Stadium. Wilson is a healthy scratchy after not being previously listed on the injury report. Rookie Jacob Phillips will start in his place.

Chris Hubbard will start at right guard for Wyatt Teller (ankle) and Sheldrick Redwine is set to fill in at free safety for Andrew Sendejo (concussion). Wide receiver Marvin Hall, defensive end Joe Jackson and cornerback Robert Jackson are also inactive for tonight’s prime time matchup.

The Browns get back cornerback Denzel Ward, tight end Austin Hooper and wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge. Ward (calf) missed the last three games and Hodge (hamstring) has been out the last two contests. Hooper did not play last week with a neck injury.

David Njoku (knee) will also play after previously being ruled questionable.

Head coach Kevin Stefanski has named Baker Mayfield for tonight’s game against former head coach Freddie Kitchens. Giants offensive coordinator Jason Garrett was placed on the COVID-list earlier this week, resulting in Kitchens taking over play-calling duties.

The Giants will officially be without starting quarterback Daniel Jones. Former Browns quarterback Colt McCoy is set to start in his place.

Former Cleveland right guard Kevin Zeitler (shoulder) will play after a questionable designation. Tight ends Evan Engram and Kaden Smith — who were also both listed as questionable with knee injuries — will play tonight.

Browns inactives for Week 11 vs. Eagles

Wyatt Teller and Mack Wilson both active

The Browns announced their inactive players for the Week 11 matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles in rain-soaked FirstEnergy Stadium.

Cleveland pulled few surprises here with the starters on the 53-man roster all being healthy. Only two players, right guard Wyatt Teller and linebacker Mack Wilson, were designated as questionable for the game.

They will both play. The inactives are largely depth and special teams players:

WR Taywan Taylor

RB Dontrell Hilliard

CB Robert Jackson

S Jovante Moffatt

LB Tae Davis

DE Joe Jackson

The players on the reserve/COVID-19 list do not count on the active roster. Even though DE Myles Garrett, OL Chris Hubbard and FB Andy Janovich will not play, they do not count against the inactive player list.

Browns final injury report for Week 11 has no players ruled out

The injury report has 2 starters listed as questionable

No players were ruled out due to injury for the Cleveland Browns in Week 11. That’s the good news from the team’s final injury report of the week, following Friday’s practice session in Berea.

Two players, right guard Wyatt Teller and linebacker Mack Wilson, are designated questionable for Sunday’s matchup at FirstEnergy Stadium against the visiting Philadelphia Eagles. Both Teller and Wilson were limited participants on Friday. Teller is still nursing a calf strain while Wilson continues to be limited with a hip injury. Both played in Week 10.

The injury list is different than the reserve/COVID-19 list, however. And that list remains populated with several useful Browns. Most notable is Myles Garrett, who will not play on Sunday after being placed on the list on Friday.

Right tackle Jack Conklin and kicker Cody Parkey are both still on the list. If they test negative for COVID-19 again before Sunday, Conklin and Parkey can be activated in time to play against the Eagles.

Mack Wilson added to Browns injury report with a hip issue

Long snapper Charley Hughlett was back, as was center JC Tretter

There was a new name on the Cleveland Browns injury report following Thursday’s practice session. Linebacker Mack Wilson went from a full participant on Wednesday to missing all of Thursday.

Wilson was designed DNP with a hip injury. He did work with trainers on the side fields.

On the positive front, center JC Tretter did return to practice after getting a veteran rest day on Wednesday. In addition, long snapper Charley Hughlett was back in action. Hughlett was originally lumped in with the group of players placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, but he wound up not going on the list. After missing Wednesday’s session with the snafu, Hughlett was back and at full action.

Myles Garrett remained home with his illness. Coach Kevin Stefanski again indicated he expects the Pro Bowl DE back on Friday.

 

 

Studs and Duds from the Browns’ 10-7 win over Houston

Who played well for the Browns and who did not

The Cleveland Browns have squeaked out another victory in a slow plodding fashion that resulted in them taking another loss against the spread, but a win is a win. There were a few Browns players who helped make it happen and another couple that almost contributed to their downfall.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Browns studs and duds from the Week 10 win over Houston.

Stud: Myles Garrett

Garrett had another dominant performance as he tallied four tackles and a half of a sack. It is fair to say that he is in the driver’s seat for Defensive Player of the Year now that he leads the NFL in sacks with 9.5. Garrett had more than a few highlights including whipping Laremy Tunsil like a rodeo clown and also a fourth down WWE level stop on Deshaun Watson.

Dud: Jarvis Landry

Landry is now the number one receiver with Odell Beckham out, but Landry failed to make much of a positive impact against the Texans with only three receptions for 29 yards and zero touchdowns. The biggest mistake was the taunting penalty that was called due to him celebrating a 20-yard reception.

Stud: Ronnie Harrison

Harrison has made his impact felt since arriving in Cleveland and led the Browns with six tackles against Houston. This is a franchise that has been plagued by missed tackles but Harrison is one of the surest on the team.

Dud: Mack Wilson

I love Wilson, but his inconsistent play has been one thing and now he is causing dumb penalties. The unnecessary roughness that was called was just insanely bad judgment. I didn’t know if I was watching the NFL or the Dudley Boyz making their WWE comeback.

Studs: Kareem Hunt and Nick Chubb
