DawgTalkers.net Forums The Archives 2020 NFL Season Looking Back: Browns 20 Giants 6 Injury Report

Love how Florio tries to add some spice to it at the end.

Daniel Jones has a sprained ankle, too

Posted by Mike Florio on December 16, 2020, 2:02 PM EST

The Giants face the Browns in prime time this weekend. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones could be on track to play, despite being injured.

Via Ralph Vacchiano of SNY, Giants coach Joe Judge told reporters on Wednesday that Jones has “another lower leg issue,” in addition to the hamstring injury that caused him to miss a Week 13 win over Seattle. Per multiple reports, the “lower leg issue” is a sprained ankle.

Judge said that Jones didn’t aggravate the hamstring injury in Sunday’s loss to Arizona (our lying eyes suggest otherwise), and Judge explained the decision-making process regarding the question of whether Jones will suit up and play.

“If he can defend himself properly in the pocket, if he’s not at risk beyond any normal game, then we’ll give him the opportunity to play,” Judge said, adding that he hasn’t decided whether Jones or Colt McCoy will play.

Whoever plays, that matchup with have intrigued against Cleveland. The Browns drafted McCoy, and he played there for two years, the only team with which he served as a full-time starter. As to Jones, Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield told GQ last year that the Giants’ decision to make Jones the sixth overall pick in the draft “blows my mind,” because of his losing record in college at Duke.

I was expecting worse. That was from Mayfield last year when he rarely missed an opportunity to spout off.

Didn't he get taken out of context? I'm honestly asking. I remember him getting ticked at how his comments were taken.

Maybe. My point was there is a LOT of material out there.

#Browns  coach Kevin Stefanski said everyone will practice today except for Andrew Sendejo (concussion) and Wyatt Teller (ankle), adding they'll practice in the field house

Yes, he did. The conversation (in earnest) was about there being no rhyme or reason to the evaluation process. Baker said parts were also omitted from the actual real-time conversation. He apologized to Jones for anything that was misinterpreted and said that he wishes him “nothing but the best” in the NFL.

It's weird how the media can't be trusted to simply report the facts. They always have to turn things into a ........well, I'll stop.

That drives me nuts. They complain when players and coaches use "coach speak" and just general comments. But as soon as anything that can be slightly controversial about another player, coach or team is mentioned the media run to the subject of the comments to try to stir it up.

So Jones is ALSO dealing with an ankle injury according to Adam Schefter on NFL Live.

Edit: Sorry, I missed that tidbit from above post. But two areas?

Just heard it on local news. I dont think he will play

So ward might be back but Johnson could be out. Figures

Teller being DNP with the ankle (instead of limited, like normal) is a setback or just cautionary?

#Giants OC Jason Garrett tested positive for COVID-19 and will continue to work remotely. TE coach Freddie Kitchens will be the team’s offensive play caller on Sunday vs the #Browns.

Not sure what we did to deserve this, but thank you, Lord.

I wouldn't thank anyone just yet. I would rather face a known quantity than a one-off-wild-card. Freddie's spent a lot of time in this league and will have something to prove Sunday night.

Yeah, he'll have a chip on his shoulder, for sure. We've also seen how effective he can be when he takes someone else's offense, and simplifies it to conform to the players' strengths.

It’s a new injury. He was out before due to a calf injury.

Yikes. If it's a new ankle injury then that pretty much means he's out this weekend. Ankle injuries for linemen are bad news.

Bro, when you have the PEDs dialed in, ankle injuries don't matter!

As long as he doesn't get popped for it, I hope he has all the PEDs in the world going. If he gets caught, though, then I reserve the right to claim the moral high ground and denounce him and his usage until he makes a public statement through a third party or social media platform expressing how regretful he is to have let us all down, after which I shall "reluctantly" welcome him and his high performance play back into the fold with renewed trust.

I just saw a report that Ward, Hodge, and Hooper all returned to practice today.

Hoping Teller can make it a clean sweep

Great news! I would love to field that group, even if for only part of a game. I really hope Teller is there for us. Not just for the team, but for an OL, this is kinda similar to a Cinderella system, at least vaguely similar. He can help us get there this week, at least I hope so.

Unleash. The. Elf!

Just heard one of their corners was put on the COVID list.

Bradberry is a top 3-5 CB

Why do you guys think he is on PED'S?

Trust me Johnson is no loss...LOL! OR Pendejo, Stewart, etc...

I don't, and I don't care if he is.
I think the presumption is based on him being essentially a total scrub last year and now playing like Superman this year. Just one year later and he has gone from zero to hero.

Mostly just the same joke that has made the rounds all season. Exactly as Purp stated... "zero to hero".

Much better than that was his eloquent description of every Browns fan if it were found to be true. Good stuff.

Man, what was that 90's college football movie with James Caan again? The Program? With the LBer (I think) that was crap one year and came back all "roided out the next season.

We will get to see what a Sendejoless looks like.

No Teller sucks

Njoku is new. I thought Hodge and Hooper were playing (?).

They are expected to play but officially questionable.

Apparently stefanski wasnt letting on to his bad the ankle injury was or perhaps he aggravated it worse in practice. Either way it's a bummer
