No injury, but I'm watching the replay of the Cleveland / Washington game.  RGIII just scrambled, put his head down and took three big shots instead of sliding... all in a preseason game.  This dude is not long for the NFL.  

Wes Welker was concussed last night, third one since last November. Former NFL WR Derrick Mason weighs in:

 

@deemason85: Wes welker you've put up really good nbers and made a lot of money now pls consider walking away. The constant. Concussions aren't worth it.

 

Amen, brother.

 

Not an injury but a significant suspension... Looks like Peyton's got another drunk kicker: 

 

@bylindsayhjones: . @MikeKlis is reporting Matt Prater will be suspended 4 games for alcohol-related substance abuse policy violation. Big blow for #broncos

@AdamSchefter: 49ers placed RB Marcus Lattimore on reserve/NFI, sidelining him for at least six regular-season games, per league source.

 

@AdamSchefter: 49ers also placed LB NaVorro Bowman on PUP, meaning he officially will miss at least the first six games this season.

Seahawks injuries: Heath Farwell needs surgery; Jeremy Lane out with groin strain; Bruce Irvin returning soon

|
 

Two of the standout Seahawks from Seattle’s preseason victory over the Chicago Bears last week are now sidelined with groin injuries.

 

Linebacker Heath Farwell, a nine-year veteran who has been a key special teams player in Seattle since 2011, will likely require surgery on a groin strain he suffered in Friday’s 34-6 victory at CenturyLink Field.

Heath Farwell Seahawks Super Bowl

Seahawks linebacker Heath Farwell, seen here celebrating Seattle’s Super Bowl victory Feb. 2, likely needs surgery for a groin strain.

 

Farwell appeared to suffer the injury about six minutes before the end of the fourth quarter, when he stretched out in the end zone to defend a pass from Chicago quarterback Jimmy Clausen to receiver Armanti Edwards. Farwell laid on the end-zone turf until he was helped off the field by Seattle trainers.

 

“Heath is going back east to get evaluated — he probably has to have surgery on his groin,” Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Monday after practice. “So that’s a very difficult situation for him. He had extensive damage, so everything points to surgery.”

 

Meanwhile, cornerback Jeremy Lane sat out Monday’s practice with his own groin injury from Friday’s exhibition tilt. Lane led the Hawks with six total tackles and three passes defended, plus an interception at the 2-yard line that he returned 41 yards the other way.

 

“We don’t know how serious it is,” Carroll said of Lane’s injury. “We did check it out and it looks like it’s going to be OK, but he’s gotta respond and come back. I don’t know, and we’ll just check him again tomorrow.”

 

But there was some good injury news Monday. Tight end Cooper Helfet is recovering more quickly than expected from a cartwheeling play Friday in which he injured a shoulder, knee and “something else,” as Carroll said after the game.

 

“He came back a little better than we had hoped,” Carroll said of Helfet. “He’s still got a sore knee — it got a little strained. We’ll have to wait and see; we’re going day-to-day with that.”

 

Injuries could be a problem for the Seahawks as their regular-season opener approaches. Several more key Hawks may miss Seattle’s Sept. 4 matchup with the Green Bay Packers, and others could be playing at less than 100 percent.

 

Linebacker Bruce Irvin, who is recovering from offseason hip surgery, is unlikely to return in time for the opener at CenturyLink Field. The 2012 first-round draft pick has yet to practice with the team, let alone suit up for a preseason game.

He was in tears last night on the bench. He knew last night & I feel terrible for him. He's a good player & from everything I've seen to this point, a good person.

 Wow... Looks like he was mocking the championship belt as he jumped too. 

 

tulloch had a great college career here and he's a tackling machine, but hopefully this will make some players think before wild onfield celebration s

I believe the proper term around here is "another nail" or something like that, good sir.

 

The ankle is still not right.

 

Lions coach Jim Caldwell doesn't rule out sitting Calvin Johnson until Week 10
 
 
DET have the Saints at home and that @ the Falcons, then a bye in week 9.
