William Jackson tears pec

CINCINNATI -- Bengals first-round pick William Jackson III will miss time as he rehabs a torn pectoral muscle, a source confirmed to ESPN's Adam Schefter on Tuesday. It appears his rookie season could be in jeopardy.

Jackson's injury cause for concern, not panic in Bengals camp
It's a tough break for William Jackson III that he could miss his entire rookie season, but the Bengals have sufficient depth to weather the injury, writes Coley Harvey.
The cornerback, selected 24th overall this spring, was hurt late in Cincinnati's practice Monday afternoon, and he wasn't present at Paul Brown Stadium on Tuesday. A source also told ESPN that the team may look to get a second opinion on the injury.

While the injury will certainly delay Jackson's growth into the Bengals' system, it shouldn't have a major effect on the team's plans at the cornerback position this season. Adam Jones and Dre Kirkpatrick were already slated to start the season at the boundary corner positions, and third-year corner Darqueze Dennard has been expected to take the majority of reps at the slot corner position in nickel defenses.

Dennard (ankle) was also hurt Monday, but defensive coordinator Paul Guenther said he didn't anticipate that injury keeping Dennard out of training camp for long.

Jackson was drafted in the first round in hopes of helping the Bengals bolster their long-term secondary depth. Although Jones was signed to a three-year extension this March, he is coming up on his 33rd birthday next month. Kirkpatrick could hit free agency after this season if the Bengals don't agree to a new contract sooner.

At Houston, Jackson led all college defensive players with 28 defended passes in 2015. He also had five interceptions last year, including two in a 10-tackle effort in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl win over Florida State.

If Jackson is out for a significant amount of time, the Bengals could return to the idea of re-signing free agent corner Leon Hall.

The 31-year-old was a Bengals first-rounder in 2007. Cincinnati let him hit free agency this offseason after he counted $9.6 million against the Bengals' cap last season. A pair of Achilles injuries in 2011 and 2014 slowed Hall in recent seasons. Still, his possible return would give the Bengals a veteran on the back end of the cornerback depth chart who already knows their system and staff.

Senquez Golson reportedly has Lisfranc injury

LATROBE, Pa. -- Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Senquez Golson could miss significant time for the second consecutive year.

Golson suffered a Lisfranc injury at Monday's practice, according to NFL Network. A source close to Golson said he is awaiting official word on the injury but the fear is a Lisfranc, the breaking of bones in the midfoot region.

The team has yet to confirm the injury.

Golson was carted off the field after a play Monday and threw his helmet to the ground in frustration. Golson, a second-round pick in 2015, missed all of last season with a torn labrum in his shoulder. He hasn't participated in a preseason game since being drafted.

Golson received some first-team slot corner reps in practice. Rookie Sean Davis can expect to get more playing time there now.

Man, it seems like Dennard is always hurt. I really liked him coming out of college and he was one of my guys for us to consider, but he has been a huge disappointment.

Kellen Moore broke his ankle.

Kellen Moore's broken fibula sends Dak Prescott flying up Cowboys' depth chart; will team add a veteran QB?

http://sportsday.dallasnews.com/dallas-c...d-training-camp

Someone speculated McCown to Dallas. I don't think they'd trade anything though

Probably Foles????

You spelled Manziel wrong.

lol yikes

Oh man.

Zeke tweaks a hammy. Link

lots of soft tissue stuff continues around the league. just like last year

Thought he had a girlfriend issue with assault pending? Am I wrong, I could be wrong but I could swear there was a story on him.

Yeah, it's being investigated

He did, but it turns out she was probably lying.

The talk about a possible trade of McCown to the Cowboys because of the injury to their backup QB is interesting. Reading the articles, the authors seem to think it was not worth doing. Robert Griffin III is injury prone and what oh dear what will the Browns do if he is injured? If you are one who believes the Browns are not just one player away from being a contending team, what does it matter? In one of the articles it stated the Browns are likely to have a high draft pick and use it on a QB in 2017. If that is the case, to quote the Democrat Presidential candidate, "What does it matter?"

If the Cowboys are willing to part with any picks for McCown, the Browns should seriously consider the offer. The Browns have RG3. The Browns have Austin Davis. The Browns have Cody Kessler. The Browns have a decent coaching staff. The articles make it sound like the Browns have the 2015 coaching staff and no options at QB. I believe that the team should consider a trade if one is made. Imagine the return, a possible 5th Round Pick???

As for the injuries to the Bengals and Steelers players, I am saddened by the news for the players sake. For the organizations, it could not have happened to a better bunch of people. The Steelers defense is on the decline. The Bengals are much better defensively but it can not hurt the Browns to have a possible future starting DB for the Bengals have his development slowed down a bit. The Steelers are a mess: The RB suspension, the WR suspension, the defensive retirements and injuries in recent years all point towards a team in decline. The Steelers will have to win with offense. I hope their QB or WR1 does not get an injury. They are one long term injury from being a 5-11 team. Welcome to the Browns nightmare.

Go Browns

If the Cowboys are desperate enough to take on another Cleveland QB (Weeden) then we should ransom McCown for nothing less than a 3rd rounder.

If McCown is traded for anything less than a 3rd.. I'd say it wouldnt be worth it. Think his value in the locker room and sideline trumps any of those picks.

I'd rather keep him.

The Steelers being in decline is said every year on this board.

For a year or two, it looked likely.

Now they look like an offensive juggernaut, and they have a lot of impressive, young, fast talent on defense.

They rebuilt on the fly. Its amazing what you can do with a top 5-10 QB....

It's also amazing what you can do when your coaching staff and your scouting department and your FO are all familiar with each other and have been on the same page for a long long time...

With good reason...They had not won a playoff game in 5 years before 2015, in which they only won one against the Bengals, who can't win a playoff game at all..

They've missed the playoffs all together 2 out of the past 4 years.

This isn't the juggernaut of the 2000-2010 decade when they won 12 playoff games and 2 Super Bowls.

So far, the first half of this decade they have won ONE playoff game and are still doling out huge contract money to the guys who won the games 5-15 years earlier.

If that isn't decline, I don't know what is...

And now they have young impact players everywhere with an elite QB. They are definitely on the rise

Malcolm Jenkins, Jason Peters injured during Eagles practice

On Wednesday, the Eagles held their first practice with live tackling since before they hired Chip Kelly as their head coach in 2013.

They made it through that practice without any players getting injured, but they weren’t able to extend the streak of injury-free days during Thursday’s practice. Left tackle Jason Peters and safety Malcolm Jenkins both left before the session was over after getting hurt.

The Eagles said that Peters injured his quad. A quad injury cost Peters time during the regular season last year and Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer points out that Peters said at the time that the quad injury was related to a disc problem in his back. The back issue continued throughout the season and forced Peters out of a game late in the year.

Reports from practice had Jenkins pulling up and grabbing his leg during a drill. The team says he is dealing with a hamstring injury and the nature of those injuries suggests he’ll miss a bit of time in order to avoid a protracted absence due to coming back too soon.

Ravens rookie defensive end Bronson Kaufusi is likely out for the season with a broken ankle, coach John Harbaugh told reporters Thursday.

Kaufusi was carted off the field Thursday after suffering what onlookers believed was a left leg or ankle injury suffered when a teammate fell on him.

A third-round pick last April, Kaufusi was part of an effort by the Ravens to get both younger and better in the pass rush.

Kaufusi, 25, was a three-year starter at BYU and finished his career with 26.5 sacks, the fifth-most in program history. A former basketball player, he also used his 6-foot-6 frame to block four kicks last season.

tough break for a young guy

Oh my!!! They have finished ahead of us almost every year. Heck, maybe every year. They did win a playoff game last year and they played Denver tougher than both New England and Carolina.

No, it's not w/good reason. It's w/no reasoning.

So beating the Browns makes someone a good team? Then we must be a good team, we seem to find a way to beat ourselves every year.

Pitt beat a banged up Cinci team that imploded and can't get past the 1st round of the playoffs.

As long as they have Ben they'll be a solid team, but if he goes down that D is not going to win a ton of games for them unless the young guys surprisingly turn things around.

The Steelers' O-line has some good players, but those guys seem the most injury prone. Pouncey has had seven surgeries and almost lost his leg. Their tackles give up a lot of pressure and Ben won't be able to take that beating forever.

Look..............you obviously have no idea why I made the series of posts about this, but that sure didn't stop you from manipulating my intent.

I'll put it this way...............I could care less what you think.

Wait until we decline from last year's 3-13 juggernaut ...

I agree with this assessment. I also would point out that the Steelers won last season on scoring. They won the year before on scoring points as well. The Ravens and Steelers have to outscore people now. Does anyone think that without Big Ben healthy all season the Steelers are a playoff team? The suspensions to the players do not help either. The drafting of the Steelers has not been so dominant either. It just looks better because they have played the Browns twice each season. The Ravens came back to earth last season. For goodness sake, the Browns came within a blocked FG of sweeping the season series from the Ravens. Flacco has been exposed. The Ravens defense has been exposed. The days of the Ravens being a dominant team in the NFL has ended for the foreseeable future IMHO. None of this means much if the Browns also do not become better. The AFC North just becomes the AFC South or the NFC South of a couple seasons ago, mediocre. GO BROWNS.

A short time ago, Lions TR Eric Ebron was carted off the practice field with what appeared to be a right lower leg injury.

Achilles.

I will take their decline over our accent any day of the week

Wait what?

He was trying to say ascention.I understood his point.
You know other than a fluke 9-7 season under Davis
The Browns best finish would be a non playoff year for the Steelers.
The Steelers have done well drafting over the past 4 6 yrs.
Every year the homers claim how the Steelers are in decline and how the Browns are finally going to
"Beat the AFC North and win 10 games"
I give the Steel City credit they have a very stable
Front office and coaching staff and a ownership dedicated
To winning.

Ebron intimated that his injury was not serious and he'd be back "soon" ... we'll have to see

We had a 10 win season under Crennel

LOL..........that was pretty funny.
