Colts facing another major injury plus Matthew Stafford migh

[seestyle]

I've always been told that Father Time gets the best of everyone, but I'm starting to think I was misled, because Father Time is losing his fight with , and you know what, he's not just losing, he's getting his face smashed in.Today is Brady's birthday, which makes him 44, which seems impo sible to believe because I'm pretty sure he hasn't aged in at least six years. Maybe it's the avocado ice cream or maybe it's the beluga lentil tacos that he eats every night for dinner, but whatever the reason is, Tom Brady doesn't age. The man looks like he's 22. That might sound like an exaggeration, but I don't think I'm exaggerating and I HAVE PROOF. rookie also has a birthday today and he's turning 22. If next to each other and I'm not sure which one is the 22-year-old.To help Brady celebrate his birthday, Bruce Arians today that I'm gue sing Brady is going to hate: A day off from practice. Brady wants to be practicing at all times, so he's probably going to be miserable watching his team practice without him today.Oh, and I don't want it to look like I'm playing favorites, so also, happy birthday to , , and . Alright, that's enough birthday talk, let's get to the rundown. As always, here's your weekly reminder to tell all your friends to sign up for the Pick Six newsletter. To get your friends to sign up, all Jordan Schroeder Kids Jersey you have to do iswith them. 1. Today's show: Di secting the situationI didn't go to medical school, but I kind of wish I did, because then I would have felt a lot smarter talking about Carson Wentz's foot injury during Tuesday's episode of the Pick Six Podcast. The show was hosted by Will Brinson, who's also not a doctor, and with our non-medical degrees, we did our best to di sect Wentz's foot injury.The craziest thing about this injury is the recovery timeline. The are saying that Wentz could be out anywhere from five to 12 weeks, which means there's an outside shot he could be back for the opener, but there's also a chance that he could mi s the first seven games of the season. According , the Colts will re-evaluate the injury in two weeks to get an idea of how quickly Wentz's foot is recovering from surgery. With that in mind, here's what Brinson and I decided we would do if we were running the Colts.If Wentz can play by Week 2: Let start and pray that he can win you a game. If Wentz is only going to mi s one or two games, it doesn't make much sense to give up any draft capital for a quarterback who's only going to play one or two weeks.If Wentz won't be back until October: Pull off a trade for a veteran. I think the Colts best bet would be to go after . However, Brinson didn't agree with that. He said the Colts should go after and he actually thinks Indy would be BETTER OFF with Mariota over Wentz.Don't trade for : This is one thing we agreed on. Adding Foles would likely crush any confidence Wentz has left and the last thing Frank Reich wants to do is create an awkward quarterback situation, which is what will happen if the Colts add Foles.During the podcast, we also talked about contract extension and Mike Zimmer's total disdain for .To listen to today's episode -- and to follow the podcast --. 2. Colts dealing with another major injuryAs if things haven't been bad enough for Colts this week, they got more bad news on Tuesday when showed up to practice . According , Nelson has the EXACT same injury as Carson Wentz and like his quarterback, the offensive lineman is going to mi s five to 12 weeks.Nelson is scheduled to undergo surgery later today. Based on his recovery timeline, Nelson could be back in time for Week 1, but he if he's out Alexandre Texier Men Jersey the full 12 weeks, that means he would mi s up to seven games. If he mi ses any amount of time at all, that would be a huge blow for Indy.Nelson is a a three-time All-Pro guard who has played in every game the Colts have had since he was drafted in 2018. The injury to Nelson continues a disastrous training camp for the Colts. They're not even a week into camp and here's what they've had to deal with so far.Carson Wentz (Starting QB): Foot surgery, out 5-12 weeks Quenton Nelson (Starting left guard): Foot surgery, out 5-12 weeks (Starting linebacker): Currently out with ankle injury (Starting center): Currently out with elbow injuryFrank Reich (Head coach): Mi sed multiple practices with COVIDIn other Colts news, Foles sounds interested in reuniting with Reich."Listen, Frank Reich is one of the favorite -- if not my favorite --," Foles said. "He understands me as a player, he understands me as a person. I haven't had any talks with them (Colts about a trade). I'm a Chicago Bear right now, but he knows me." So why does Foles like Reich so much?"You all watched the 2017 season and the playoffs where he changed the offense and built it around me," Foles said. "He understood my mentality as a player and he was able to build it around me and put me in a succe sful position."I think this is Foles' way telling us he wants to play for the Colts without saying he wants to play for the Colts. Unfortunately for Foles, it doesn't look like the Colts will be making a trade anytime soon. According to ESPN's Chris Mortensen, the Colts, although those plans could change if Wentz has any complications with his foot following Monday's surgery.Of course, it's po sible the Colts might start looking to make a few deals now that they have so many holes thanks to their latest series of injuries. 3. injures surgically repaired thumb at practiceI don't want to say that I'm jinxing teams, but I'm starting to feel like I'm jinxing teams. The and the Colts were going to be my two dark horse teams for the Super Bowl this year, Jordan Schroeder Men Jersey but I might have to reconsider both of them, because not only is Carson Wentz dealing with his foot injury, but Matthew Stafford is also dealing with an injury.The Rams quarterbackagainst a teammate's helmet on Monday, and right now, it's not clear what his status is. Rams coach Sean McVay was vague when asked about details of the injury after practice."We'll see," McVay said,. "He's so tough as it is. Look at what he played through all last year to get the thumb cleaned up. He's a tough guy. We'll see what they say and take it one day at a time." One concern for the Rams is that Stafford just had surgery on that same right thumb. The QB played most of last season with a partially torn ligament in the thumb and he didn't have it repaired until March when he underwent surgery. As recently as April, he was still wearing a cast on the thumb, which.There's a chance this injury could be nothing -- Stafford might only mi s a day or two to give his thumb some rest -- but if it ends up being a serious injury, it would be a big blow to any hopes the Rams had of winning the NFC West this year 4. seem committed to as their Week 1 starterKyle Shanahan has been insisting all summer that Jimmy Garoppolo would be the 49ers quarterback to start the season and I'm starting to think he's not bluffing. Although is having a great training camp so far, Garoppolo is still getting all the first-team reps and Shanahan said it's likely going to stay that way. The 49ers coach was asked if Lance might soon be competing for the starting job and he shot that down pretty quickly."No. I wouldn't say that," Shanahan said.The 49ers coach then added that he'd be surprised if Lance ended up being his Week 1 starter."Jimmy has played too good," Shanahan said. "He is too good of a player and Trey's trying to learn everything right now and soak it all in. So that's why I'd be very surprised if he was able to do that." Shanahan might have been keeping everyone in the dark about whom the 49ers were going to draft with their first-round pick this year, but I don't think he's bluffing here. The bottom line here is that if Lance isn't getting first-team reps at training camp, he's definitely not going to start in Week 1. At this point, the only way Shanahan might change his mind is if Lance wows everyone during San Francisco's three preseason games. 5.
