Now it’s a new injury with his new team.

But then, two weeks ago, the Minnesota Vikings lost their starting quarterback, Teddy Bridgewater, to a career-threatening knee injury, and called the Eagles about the availability of Bradford. “And I think he knew the plays the first month he got there because he’s been invested in this game. I’ll tell you that he and I have had conversations the last couple days”, said head coach Doug Pederson. “You just have to make sure you stay focused, keep your mindset right and don’t let that affect you as far as what you think or go out there and play the game”.
“It’s good tape to watch for me, to be able to say, ‘I did well on this play”. It is a handsome game.
Griffin was injured on a run late in a 29-10 season-opening loss in Philadelphia. After suffering a broken bone in his left shoulder in the season opener, RG3 will miss a minimum of eight games _ and maybe more _ for the Browns, delaying his personal comeback and Cleveland’s plans to find a future quarterback.
The Browns kept McCown as an insurance policy in case Griffin got hurt so they wouldn’t have to rush Kessler onto the field. If the doctors say Im good, the trainers say Im good, and my body feels good, then that is the goal. “And for me, I just never want to lose that again”.
Kessler might be forced onto the field much faster than anticipated, especially considering McCown missed eight games past year with a variety of injuries.
“Absolutely not (laughter). Absolutely not”.
Griffin did not accuse Mills of an illegal hit, and said he was not attempting to run him over – a charge made by several national TV commentators, who felt the QB had time to slide safely. “It’s just something that happened and it’s unfortunate”. “We are going to come out and the thing is from Week 1 to Week 2, similar to preseason, is that everybody can kind of get their regular season jitters out of the way and we can look at the tape of our game, make our corrections and focus on what they are doing, internalize this gameplan and be ready to go play good ball Sunday”.

“I just want to do the right thing and listen to what they have to say”. The first-year coach, who also had a memorable debut, said he can help “protect” Wentz and keep him focused if the outside factors becoming overwhelming.
