Former Saints first-round pick Marcus Davenport likely out for the season

Unfortunately, Marcus Davenport can’t escape the injury bug. The former Saints first-round pick is likely out for the season after suffering a torn triceps:

Former New Orleans Saints defensive end Marcus Davenport is likely out for the season after suffering a torn triceps in the Detroit Lions’ Week 3 overtime win against the Arizona Cardinals. Lions head coach Dan Campbell announced the bad news on Monday, and said the team will look for other opinions.

Unfortunately, Saints fans are too familiar with this series of events. The big defensive end dealt with many injuries that derailed his seasons in New Orleans. For many years Davenport was viewed as the talented player who couldn’t reach his ceiling due to poor health.

His injury history has only gotten worse since leaving the Saints after the 2022 season. Davenport’s next stop was the Minnesota Vikings. He only played four games in 2023, which was the lowest total of his career.

Davenport had already missed a game earlier in 2024 with a groin injury. If he does miss the rest of the season, Davenport will reset his career-low from four matchups to two games.

Things were never this bad in New Orleans. He played in at least 11 games every year in a Saints uniform. Regardless of how long he plays into a season, you hate to see this unfortunate trend continue for as long as it has for Davenport.

Chiefs WR ‘Hollywood’ Brown will reportedly miss the 2024 regular season

Kansas City #Chiefs WR ‘Hollywood’ Brown will reportedly miss the 2024 regular season | @EdEastonJr

The news early Friday morning that Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown had been placed on injured reserve appears to be only the beginning of the veteran’s troubles.

According to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Brown, who is expected to undergo surgery for his injured SC joint on Monday, will miss the entire 2024 regular season. The new information from Schefter is grim but not officially announced by the team. However, he details that due to recovery time, there is a chance he could play for the Chiefs in the postseason.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid spoke with reporters about his thoughts and wishes for Brown as he deals with this unfortunate injury after one preseason game. Chiefs V.P. of Sports Medicine and Performance Rick Burkholder also said that Brown’s injury didn’t heal correctly, requiring surgery after several specialists worked with him over the past few weeks.

Brown signed a one-year contract with the Chiefs during the offseason to help lead the way in their receivers’ room. He formed a bond and chemistry with Patrick Mahomes and the younger receivers and strongly performed in training camp. His brief stint on the field for preseason on August 10th in Jacksonville is still his only moment in a game in a Chiefs uniform.

Chiefs fans react to Charles Omenihu’s season-ending injury

#Chiefs fans on Twitter reacted to the news of Charles Omenihu’s season ending injury.

After a phenomenal performance against the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship Game that saw him strip-sack Lamar Jackson, news broke on Monday that Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman Charles Omenihu tore his ACL and would miss Super Bowl LVIII.

Omenihu, who signed with the Chiefs as a free agent in 2023, grew into a major role on Kansas City’s defense after missing the first six games of the regular season.

His absence in the Super Bowl will be a crushing blow for the Chiefs against the San Francisco 49ers’ prolific running game, and Kansas City’s coaching staff is sure to be hard at work finding a fix to fill his spot on the team’s front-four.

There was an outpouring of support for Omenihu on social media when Chiefs Kingdom found out about the extent of his injury.

Check out some of Twitter’s top reactions to the bad news about Omenihu’s knee:

Marquise Blair and Bruce Irvin out for season with ACL injuries

Seattle Seahawks defensive back Marquise Blair and linebacker Bruce Irvin are both out for the season after sustaining ACL injuries Week 2.

Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll finally confirmed the bad news that had been circulating around all Monday. Seahawks defensive back Marquise Blair and linebacker Bruce Irvin will undergo ACL surgeries in the near future and their seasons are now over.

“Right off the top, both Bruce and Marquise are gonna have to have surgery and that means they will be done for the season,” Carroll told reporters during his afternoon press conference. “Which is really a big blow. I know a lot of teams lost players this weekend and we certainly felt it with both those guys.”

Blair and Irvin had both sustained their knee injuries during the Week-2 matchup against the Patriots on Sunday night and had to leave the game.

“Both those guys have a lot to offer your team in their attitude, approach and style of play,”  Carroll continued. “So it will be difficult to replace those guys in that regard . . .  We’re gonna miss those guys, I feel terrible for them.”

Blair and Irvin are undoubtedly headed to the injured reserve and Carroll said their replacements won’t be announced until later in the week.

Seahawks tight end Will Dissly on track to return in time for season start

After suffering a ruptured Achilles tendon, Seattle Seahawks tight end Will Dissly is now projected to return in time to start the season.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Will Dissly is busy recovering from a ruptured Achilles tendon, the second season-ending injury of his short, two-year career. Fortunately, Dissly is now expected to be ready to start the new season.

“Everything’s going great, he’s been doing a fantastic job,” coach Pete Carroll said from the scouting combine on Tuesday. “He proved to us before that he knows how to just grit his way through this thing. He’s doing marvelous work, so he’ll be back.

“We’ve just got to take care of him when he gets back and hopefully he can find the sticking power.”

The Seahawks recently added veteran tight end, Greg Olsen, to the roster, their first splashy move of the offseason. Carroll is excited about the position group as a whole.

“Thought that was a really important get for us, to be solid at the tight-end spot,” Carroll said. “I’m loving Will Dissly, I’m loving what Jacob Hollister did. But (Olsen) is another step in solidifying a big, 6-5 target to get the ball, knows routes, understands the game, which really complements Russ’ mentality. It’s going to be a great duo, I think.”

Pete Carroll counting on Chris Carson to come ‘roaring back’ next year

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson suffered a season-ending hip injury that fortunately doesn’t require surgery or rehab to repair.

The Seahawks suffered a number of injuries throughout the 2019 season but the running back position was hit particularly hard. Seattle lost three players late in the year, first Rashaad Penny, then starter Chris Carson and C.J. Prosise.

Coach Pete Carroll is hoping the backs can return sooner than later.

“We’re optimistic, more-so about Chris because Chris doesn’t have to do any rehab right now,” Carroll said Monday. “He’s not having surgery and all that. He’s just got to get through it and stay off it for a while. He’s a fantastic workout warrior. He’ll come roaring back.”

Carson’s season ended late in the year with a hip injury Week 16 against the Cardinals. Penny, however, sustained a torn ACL two weeks earlier and had to undergo surgery to repair his knee.

“I think Rashaad is challenged more because he’s got the full rehab that he’s got to go through,” Carroll explained. “He’s doing great. He’s ahead of schedule already. They’re really excited about the progress that he’s making. That’s a much longer prognosis there. He’s got six or seven months ahead of him that are going to be really challenging. We’ll have to wait and see.”

Seattle was able to sign former Seahawks running backs Marshawn Lynch and Robert Turbin to assist with the playoff run alongside rookie Travis Homer.

“We’ll be on the mend but it’s still a pretty good position right for us,” Carroll concluded. “Homer really helped us out with the playing time he got. A classic example, what does a guy have to do when he doesn’t need to play? Homer did. He showed us what he could do. I think it should be a strong group.

“We are really counting on Chris to come roaring back.”

Chris Carson, C.J. Prosise likely out for remainder of Seahawks’ season

Seattle Seahawks running backs Chris Carson and C.J. Prosise, who suffered injuries against the Cardinals, are likely out for the season.

The Seattle Seahawks suffered a devasting loss to the Arizona Cardinals Week 16 but even more disappointing is the injuries to the running backs as the team continues its push for the division crown.

Both starter Chris Carson and backup C.J. Prosise suffered potential season-ending injuries Sunday afternoon. Carson sustained some damage to his hip and Prosise broke his arm.

“We did get both our running backs banged up today – Chris and C.J. both got hurt,” coach Pete Carroll said in his postgame press conference. “They are out. We’ve got to get to scambling and Johnny’s (Schneider) got to get to work and figure out what we’re doing next. It’s a lot of game for (Travis) Homer to have to play by himself.

“So we’ll make some moves here and figure stuff out.”

As of now, Homer remains the only healthy running back on the Seahawks’ active roster. Seattle could call up Xavier Turner from the practice squad but will likely attempt to sign a veteran or two to add some depth to the incredibly depleted position.

This story is continuing to develop.

Report: MRI results confirm Seahawks RB Rashaad Penny has torn ACL

MRI results confirm Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny actually tore his ACL Week 14 against the Los Angeles Rams Sunday night.

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny suffered a knee injury Week 14 in the team’s loss to the Los Angeles Rams and was unable to return to the lineup Sunday night.

After the game, coach Pete Carroll told reporters the initial medical tests revealed Penny has sustained a “significant” ACL sprain.

During his Monday afternoon press conference, Carroll had yet to receive the MRI results and was unable to provide any further updates.

A new report from NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport now confirms Penny has actually suffered a torn ACL.

“Seahawks RB Rashaad Penny tore his ACL in last night’s loss to the Rams and is out for the season, source said,” Rapoport tweeted later Monday afternoon. “The MRI confirmed the news for the former first-round pick, who also has additional damage to his knee. He’s out until training camp. Tough injury.”

Backup running backs C.J. Prosise and Travis Homer are expected to step up in Penny’s absence to assist starter, Chris Carson.

The Seahawks have an off day Tuesday and Carroll and the rest of the staff have no scheduled media availability until Wednesday before practice.
