Dallas Goedert Out Indefinitely With Small Fracture In Ankle

Sep 29, 2020 1:04 PM

Dallas Goedert has a small fracture in his ankle, a league source confirmed.

Goedert is out indefinitely.

Goedert entered Week 3 as the team leader in targets, catches, receiving yards and yards after the catch.

"Losing a guy like Dallas that has a huge role in protections [and the] run game, but he's a playmaker with the ball in his hands and down the field. He's a big part of our game plan every week, and so losing him, we obviously had to make some adjustments on the fly, [which] makes it tough," Doug Pederson said.

Tyrod Taylor Suffered Punctured Lung By Chargers' Doctor

Sep 23, 2020 1:15 PM

Tyrod Taylor had a lung punctured by a Los Angeles Chargers' team doctor while trying to administer a pain-killing injection in his cracked ribs, which led to Justin Herbert starting Week 2 unexpectedly. The injection that Taylor received is not entirely uncommon, but it carries a risk because a doctor injects without seeing where the needle is going.

Anthony Lynn strongly backed Taylor on Sunday night and again this week.

The Chargers previously said Taylor suffered complications from an injection.

 

The NFL Players Association is investigating the medical mishap.

Packers Downplay Severity Of Davante Adams' Hamstring Injury

Sep 22, 2020 8:58 AM

Davante Adams left Sunday's game early with a hamstring injury, but the Green Bay Packers don't seem overly concerned.

"I know he wanted to go back in the game," Matt LaFleur said. "I just told him, 'Hey, let’s see how these next few series go, and see if we need you.' Obviously, he's a huge part of what we do offensively and a key member of this football team. If we don't need him, we didn't want to put him back in a position to do further harm to his own body."

The Packers outscored the Detroit Lions 25-7 in the second half en route to a 42-14 victory.

Green Bay faces off against the New Orleans Saints in Week 3.

Sep 22, 2020 8:46 AM

Christian McCaffrey is expected to miss 4-6 weeks after suffering an ankle injury on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The timeline makes him a candidate for the short-term injured reserve, but the Carolina Panthers star is hoping to return sooner than the anticipated timeline.

"That's a challenge to me," McCaffrey said. "And I'm gonna attack it, like I attack anything else."

The Panthers signed the running back to a four-year, $64 million extension with more than $31.8 million guaranteed this offseason.
