Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert (ribs) expected to decide on pain-killing shot during Sunday pregame warmups, sources say
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is expected to make a decision during pregame warm-ups on Sunday about whether to take a pain-killing injection in his fractured rib cartilage to try and play against the Jacksonville Jaguars, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Herbert “is pushing to play,” a source told Schefter. Though Herbert wants to play, there was growing skepticism about his status going into the weekend; the decision to play has bounced back and forth throughout the week, Schefter reports.
Herbert was injured against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 2, taking a hit from defensive end Mike Danna that left him lying on the field for an extended period.
Herbert is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game.
“It’s day-by-day, just waiting to see how he feels,” Chargers coach Brandon Staley said on Friday. “We’re going to progress through the rest of this week and see how it goes.”
Meanwhile, Herbert is not expected to have his center Corey Linsley, who is doubtful with a knee injury, Schefter reports.
In addition, receiver Keenan Allen, who is questionable with a hamstring injury, would like to try and play, but it’s not certain he will, Schefter reports. Cornerback J.C. Jackson (ankle) is doubtful and also not expected to play, Schefter reports.
Saints’ Alvin Kamara needs morning to test ribs; 49ers’ Kittle a game-time decision
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is dealing with a rib cartilage issue and will determine if he is able to play against the Buccaneers depending on how the morning goes, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported. There is a chance Kamara suits up, but it will be tough.
Rapoport added that quarterback Jameis Winston (back) and running back Mark Ingram (ankle) are both expected to play.
Kamara’s rib issue limited him in practice on Wednesday and held him out entirely on Thursday and Friday.
The five-time Pro Bowler had a quiet Week 1 in the team’s 27-26 comeback victory over the Falcons, turning nine carries into 39 rushing yards and contributing only seven more receiving yards on three receptions.
Whether or not Kamara can go will loom large over New Orleans as it looks to earn its fifth consecutive regular-season victory over Bucs quarterback Tom Brady.
Dodgers Reporter Breaks Wrist and Ribs Going Down Brewers’ Slide
When the Milwaukee Brewers hit a home run at their home stadium, American Family Field, their mascot rides down a slide beyond the left field wall to celebrate. When a visiting reporter at a game on Wednesday went down the slide for a stunt, he broke bones.
The reporter, David Vassegh, who covers the Los Angeles Dodgers for SportsNet LA, rode down the slide before Wednesday’s game between the Brewers and the Dodgers. The yellow slide that twists from one tier of the ballpark to another below, a defining feature of Milwaukee’s ballpark, is known as Bernie’s Slide, named for the team’s mascot.
Within seconds of the start of his descent, which was broadcast on SportsNet LA, Vassegh begins yelling.
“Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap,” Vassegh says in the video of his slide.
At the end of his ride, Vassegh slammed into a barrier a few feet away from the foot of slide. The crash left Vassegh with a fractured wrist and six cracked ribs, according to SportsNet LA.
Joe Davis, a Dodgers TV play-by-play announcer, said that Vassegh had been talking about going down the slide for days.
“I’ve never heard somebody so excited about doing anything,” Davis said during Wednesday’s broadcast.
Despite his injuries, Vassegh didn’t immediately seek medical care after the crash. He did a pregame interview with Justin Turner, the Dodgers’ third baseman, before going to an urgent care center.
“Trea Turner makes sliding look pretty easy, but one trip down the slide for you, and you’re heading to the I.L.,” Justin Turner told Vassegh, referring to the Dodgers shortstop known for his speed on the basepaths. “I’ve got to say, you’re really chiefing this out because you should be going to get a picture on that thing right now, and you insisted on doing this interview first.”
Vassegh told Justin Turner he’d return to the ballpark from his visit with the doctors before the end of the game.
“You’ll see me by the ninth inning tonight,” he said.
Vassegh indeed returned in time to do a postgame interview with Dodgers catcher Austin Barnes on the field.
“That one was for you,” Barnes said of the Dodgers’ 2-1 victory, which improved their league-best record to 81-35. “We all rallied today for you.”
Trips down the slide are not exclusively for Bernie. The Brewers offer fans the chance to ride down the slide for up to $175 per person. The team notes on its website that to go down the slide, fans must be at least 8 years old, and physically able to climb two flights of stairs to reach the platform. Fans must also sign a waiver.
Justin Turner posted a picture of the crash site on Twitter on Thursday. Marked on the barrier that Vassegh slammed into is an outline of a body and the words “holy crap.”
The Brewers did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Thursday about the slide. Before Thursday afternoon’s game, which Milwaukee won, 5-3, behind two homers from Andrew McCutchen, Bernie brought Vassegh some yellow flowers and a “slide instruction manual” on the field.
“It’s really not that hard,” the inside of the card said.
Vassegh said on SportsNet LA on Thursday that he was “a little sore” but ready to cover the game.
“Are you not entertained by me doing my own stunts?” Vassegh said in a segment on SportsNet LA before the game.
Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) expected to be ready to return Oct. 17 vs. Jacksonville Jaguars, source says
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will miss the next two games while he is on injured reserve, but he is expected to be ready to return for the Oct. 17 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London, per a source.
While Tagovailoa is out, Jacoby Brissett will continue to start for Miami, with Sunday’s start coming against his former Indianapolis Colts’ team.
Tagovailoa fractured his ribs during the Sept. 19 home game against Buffalo and, when he did, it was considered a roughly three-week injury.
The Dolphins opted not to waste his roster spot and instead chose to activate rookie backup quarterback Reid Sinnett while waiting for Tagovailoa to heal.
The three weeks are expected to be enough to enable Tagovailoa to be heal and throw effectively again.
Tagovailoa will miss Sunday’s game against the Colts, then next week’s game at Tampa Bay against the Buccaneers, but those familiar with the injury believe it will be healed enough for Tagovailoa to play on Oct. 17 in London.
Report: Gronkowski could miss “weeks” with fractured ribs
On Monday, ESPN reported that further X-rays on Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski‘s ribs were negative, a day after the team said that Sunday X-rays were negative. On Saturday, ESPN reported that Gronk has broken ribs.
Per the report, Gronkowski could be sidelines for “weeks.”
If the Buccaneers thought that Gronk will be out for at least 12 more days, they could have put him on injured reserve. By rule, he can return after missing only three games. Since he’s already missing Sunday’s game at New England, he would then have to miss only two more — next Sunday against the Dolphins and the following Thursday against the Eagles.
But he hasn’t been placed on IR, so it’s unclear whether they’re convinced he’ll miss both Week Five and Week Six, in addition to Week Four.
Regardless, they won’t have him for Tom Brady‘s return to New England. Given the way Gronk has played this year, that will give the Patriots an extra edge in their effort to beat Brady.
