Pre season is such a waste of time. One game is enough. The wins don't matter, stats don't matter, cohesion doesn't even matter. These players and coaches perform at such a different level during the regular season. 1 pre season game. 1 quarter for each depth string player and on to the regular season. It's getting fucking ridiculous. 4 games. Fuck that.

There are too many injuries. Pre season feels like a game of Russian Roulette these days. I'm not sure the gains made by playing them are worth it.

Maurkice Pouncey believed to need surgery for broken ankle
Posted by Michael David Smith on August 23, 2015, 5:05 PM EDT
Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey suffered what appears to be a serious ankle injury in today’s preseason game with the Packers.
Coach Mike Tomlin said after the game that Pouncey will likely require surgery, and Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazettereports that Pouncey has a broken bone.
That’s brutal news for the Steelers. Pouncey was a first-team All-Pro last year, and losing him for any amount of time will make things tough for Pittsburgh’s offense.
It was also a brutal preseason game for the NFL, with both Pouncey and Packers receiver Jordy Nelson suffering serious injuries. Injuries are a part of life in the NFL, but when an injury happens in an exhibition game, it just feels needless. Pouncey and Nelson are two great players, lost in a meaningless game.

I'm in a couple of leagues where we're already drafting and have finished one draft. They call them draft champion formats. We draft 30 rounds and there are no transactions. One guy in the league already done had as his #1 WR Jordy his #2 WR was Kelvin Benjamin. He also has Devin Smith for the Jets who fractured 3 ribs. I'm carefully looking over this team and making sure I don't draft anybody on his team in any league I'm in!!!

Patriots lose a cornerback, where they weren’t deep to begin with
Posted by Darin Gantt on August 24, 2015
The Patriots have spent the offseason figuring out how to backfill their secondary.
That job just got a bit more complicated.
Via Adam Caplan and Mike Reiss of ESPN, rookie cornerback Darryl Roberts has a wrist injurywhich could threaten his season.
The seventh-round pick had seen time with the starters in the preseason, and for a team looking for answers there anyway, the loss is worth noting. He apparently injured the wrist on Aug. 13 against the Packers, and we’re just now hearing about it.
After Darrelle Revis, Brandon Browner and Kyle Arrington in free agency, the Patriots are looking at a number of options. They even started safety Devin McCourty there last weekend, a move he hopes isn’t permanent.

Patriots place Brandon Gibson on injured reserve
Posted by Josh Alper on August 24, 2015

The Patriots added wide receiver Reggie Wayne to the roster early on Monday and they erased another wideout’s name from the depth chart in the afternoon.
Brandon Gibson has been placed on injured reserve after he suffered a knee injury against the Saints on Saturday. Gibson would have been one of the receivers competing with Wayne for a spot behindJulian Edelman, Brandon LaFell and Danny Amendola.
Gibson signed with the Patriots this offseason after catching 59 passes for the Dolphins over the last two seasons. He suffered a torn patellar tendon after catching 30 passes in his first seven games with Miami in 2013 and was released for cap reasons early in the offseason.
With Gibson out of the picture, Wayne will now vie for snaps with Aaron Dobson, Josh Boyce and Brian Tyms. Dobson and Tyms have been ailing of late, however, and that could help the veteran’s chances of sticking with the team he faced many times as a member of the Colts.
The Patriots signed linebacker D.J. Lynch to fill the open roster spot.

Packers announce Jordy Nelson will miss the season
Posted by Mike Florio on August 24, 2015
AP
As expected, the 2015 football season of Packers receiver Jordy Nelson has ended before the regular season even began.
The team has announced that Nelson sustained “a significant right knee injury” during Sunday’s preseason game at Pittsburgh, and that he’ll miss the entire season. While the press release from the team didn’t specify the type of knee injury, it’s reportedly a torn ACL.
Twenty years ago, former Steelers defensive back Rod Woodson sustained a torn ACL in Pittsburgh on the first Sunday of the regular season, in a game against the Lions. He had surgery, underwent rehab, and returned to play in Super Bowl XXX, an eventual loss to the Cowboys.
The Packers won’t be holding a roster spot for Nelson in the hopes of a postseason return. In an effort to get to the postseason, then, the Packers will now need a plan for life without Nelson.
Jason Wilde of ESPN Wisconsin joined Monday’s PFT Live on NBC Sports Radio to discuss the situation, and Wilde mentioned that James Jones could be returning to the team — if he’s among the roster reductions with his current team, the Giants.

Ryan Kalil likely to miss rest of preseason with knee sprain
Posted by Josh Alper on August 24, 2015

Another key member of the Panthers offense has suffered a knee injury.
The good news for the team is that it doesn’t appear to be anywhere near as serious as the torn ACL that has knocked wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin out for the season. Coach Ron Rivera said Monday that center Ryan Kalil sprained his left knee during Saturday’s game against the Dolphins and that Kalil will likely sit out the rest of the preseason while trying to get healthy enough to play in Week One against the Jaguars.
“He’s very valuable to us obviously, so we are going to approach this cautiously,” Rivera said, via the team’s website. “We’ll be smart. The whole idea being what we want to do once we get to Jacksonville.”
Kalil has played every game for Carolina in five of the last six years with the only interruption coming in 2012 when a Lisfranc injury to his foot ended his season after five game. Brian Folkerts and right tackle Mike Remmers each saw time at center during Monday’s practice.

Jason McCourty had groin surgery Monday
Posted by Josh Alper on August 24, 2015
Getty Images
Titans cornerback Jason McCourty has been sidelined most of the month by a groin injury and resting it wasn’t getting him back on the field, so he’s decided to take another approach.
Titans coach Ken Whisenhunt announced that McCourty had surgery on Monday morning in hopes of repairing the injury. Whisenhunt said that he wasn’t sure how long McCourty would be out of action while he recovers from the operation, but said he didn’t think it was impossible for McCourty to be well enough to play in the season opener.
If McCourty can make it back in time for Week One, he’ll likely be starting at corner along with Perrish Cox. If he can’t, the Titans will turn to Coty Sensabaugh or Blidi Wreh-Wilson, assuming that Wreh-Wilson recovers from the ankle injury that’s kept him off the field recently.
McCourty has started every game for the Titans over the past three seasons. He had 85 tackles, three interceptions and two forced fumbles for Tennessee last season.

Arrelious Benn lands on IR for third straight year
Posted by Josh Alper on August 24, 2015
Getty Images
Wide receiver Arrelious Benn entered the NFL as a second-round pick in 2010, but injuries continue to get in the way of his attempts to find a lasting home in the league.
The Jaguars placed Benn on injured reserve Monday after he fractured his collarbone in Saturday night’s game against the Giants. Reports out of Jags camp were that Benn was having a good summer, but the team will have to look elsewhere for receiver help in the wake of his injury.
Benn landed on injured reserve last year after suffering a concussion in camp with the Eagles and he found himself on the same list in 2013 after tearing his ACL. He last played a regular season game for the Buccaneers in 2012 and has 59 catches for 862 yards and five touchdowns over the course of his career.
With Benn out of the picture, the Jags could really use a healthy Marqise Lee in the rotation come the regular season. Lee has been out for most of camp with a hamstring injury and the 2014 second-round pick’s brief NFL career has seen several aches and pains keep him from making a steady contribution to the Jacksonville offense.
The Jaguars also waived/injured tackle Brennan Williams and wide receiver Damian Copeland. They signed linebacker Mister Alexander, offensive lineman Will Corbin and wide receiver Erik Lora.

Jay Gruden “very concerned” about Junior Galette after practice injury
Posted by Josh Alper on August 26, 2015
AP
Before he was released by the Saints, linebacker Junior Galette’s availability for the 2015 season was thought to be at risk because of a pectoral injury.
Galette avoided surgery for that injury and has been practicing with the Redskins without any sign that it’s bothering him since landing in Washington in late July. Wednesday brought a new injury concern for the pass rusher, however.
After practice, coach Jay Gruden said, via Albert Breer of NFL Media, that he’s “very concerned” about an injury that Galette suffered near the end of the session. Gruden said Galette would have his ankle evaluated. Unless that concern is totally overblown, Galette will likely miss this weekend’s game against the Ravens and his game debut with the team will have to wait for another time.
Gruden also said that the team is not sure whether Ryan Kerrigan will make his preseason debut against Baltimore. Kerrigan had a knee scope in May and did not play in either of the team’s first two preseason games.
UPDATE 2:19 p.m. ET: Multiple reports indicate the team fears an Achilles injury for Galette. If it is a torn Achilles, he’ll miss the 2015 season.

Torn Achilles costs Junior Galette $332,000, adding insult to injury
Posted by Darin Gantt on August 26, 2015
AP
When Washington outside linebacker Junior Galette suffered a torn Achilles tendon today, it was a costly blow for the team’s defense.
It also hit him in his wallet.
According to Mike Garafolo of FOX Sports, Galette’s deal included a clause for a preseason split salary, which called for his salary to go from $745,000 this year to $413,000 if he were hurt in the preseason, meaning he lost $332,000 today.
Such clauses aren’t necessarily unusual, but that might not be the end of the financial hit for Galette.
Garafolo also reports the Saints are claiming he voided his base salary guarantee of $1.25 million for this year, though no reason is given for that claim.
Of course, the Saints have already paid him $17 million for the first year of a four-year extension before cutting him after a domestic abuse arrest. So it’s not as if he’s hurting for money, as it were. But the split contracts also show the kind of leverage teams have over players, since they’ll take them betting on themselves to not get injured in the preseason.
