Paxton Lynch Out Several Weeks With Right Shoulder Sprain

Aug 28, 2017 1:55 PM

The Denver Broncos will be without Paxton Lynch for several weeks following a right shoulder sprain.

Lynch's injury won't require surgery.

Trevor Siemian had already won the starting quarterback job for the Broncos.

Denver is expected to look around for potential help under center. Kyle Sloter and Chad Kelly are both on the roster, but neither has taken a snap in a game that matters.

The Broncos had interest in trading for Colin Kaepernick during the 2016 offseason.

Cowboys Likely Lose Anthony Hitchens To Torn ACL

Aug 28, 2017 12:29 PM

The Dallas Cowboys are anticipating Anthony Hitchens suffered a torn ACL in Saturday's preseason game.

Hitchens suffered the injury with 19 seconds left in the first half. Hitchens will likely require surgery and miss the entire 2017 season.

Hitchens is the Cowboys' starting middle linebacker.

"I don't want to go there," said Jerry Jones when asked if Hitchens suffered a torn ACL. "All I know, though, is I don't like the way it sounds. They'll take a look at it again tomorrow. If it were going to put him down, it'd be an ACL tear."

Julian Edelman Out For 2017 With Torn ACL

Aug 27, 2017 10:42 AM

Julian Edelman will miss the entire 2017 season with a torn ACL.

"Julian is a great competitor, works hard, is tough, does all the things that you ask him to do. So I feel badly for him, of course," Bill Belichick said Saturday. " ... We hope that he will have a speedy and complete recovery, but the team will have to move on and compete this season without him. It's unfortunate, but that's the way it is."

Belichick said the team "has to move forward with the resources we have. Unfortunately, we've lost one. An important one. But as a team we still have to move forward and that's what we'll do. That process has already started."

Edelman suffered the injury while running an in-breaking route, beating linebacker Jarrad Davis and catching the ball at Detroit's 29-yard line.

Edelman signed a two-year contract extension through 2019.

Aug 23, 2017 9:16 AM

It's "not out of the question he could miss a week or two of the regular season," according to one source.

Aug 22, 2017 5:06 PM

Odell Beckham, Jr. appears to have escaped major injury after spraining his ankle in a preseason game against the Cleveland Browns on Monday night.

"I don't know. I'm pretty concerned," Beckham said with a smile, "but I think I'll be all right."
