dudes going to jail, another first round pick who decided to be a dickhead and throw away millions, what a waste



Vikings waived CB Jeff Gladney.
The No. 31 overall pick of last year's draft, Gladney was indicted on third degree felony domestic violence charges on Tuesday. Gladney has been accused of hitting his girlfriend with closed fists, choking her and “pulling (her) by her hair trying to hold her still in order to get (an iPhone's) Face ID to work” in an April 2 incident. The Vikings had been waiting for the court to make a decision. Heading into what would have been his age-25 campaign, Gladney is facing a lengthy suspension, and his career in serious doubt.

Couple of of notable "incidents" (Giants massive brawl and Pathers player going to hospital after cheap shot by now ex teammate) but other than the Quinton Nelson injury no big injury news as far as I can see. #blessed

Colts head coach Frank Reich said G Quenton Nelson will miss significant time with a foot injury.
Nelson will undergo surgery and miss about the same amount of time as Carson Wentz, who had a similar foot surgery Tuesday. Wentz is expected to be sidelined for 5-12 weeks. The Colts picked up Nelson's fifth-year option in April after he proved dominant in his first round years with the team. His loss is another gut punch for the Colts. Every fantasy-relevant player will be impacted by the loss of Wentz and Nelson.

With just 64.5 percent of players fully vaccinated, the Vikings have the lowest vaccination rate in the league.
This is much to coach Mike Zimmer's dismay. 70 percent of players are in the process and 64.5 percent are fully vaccinated, neither of which is close to the 85 percent threshold needed to relax virus-related restrictions. Notably, Kirk Cousins and third-round rookie QB Kellen Mond are currently on the reserve/COVID-19 list. It’s unclear which players are or aren't vaxxed, but Minnesota looks like the team most at risk of having a COVID problem this season

USA Today's Mike Jones reports 84 percent of Washington Football Team players have received at least one COVID-19 vaccination.
It's a big leap from the lowly 60 percent vaccination rate that left head coach Ron Rivera "perplexed" and "truly frustrated" last month. Washington came into training camp as one of the least vaccinated teams in the NFL, with players unhappy with the team for bringing in medical experts to discuss the vaccine's efficacy. The NFL's stringent COVID protocols have made life sufficiently difficult for those who refuse the jab, as we've seen player vaccination rates steadily rise in recent weeks.

oh yea, forgot bout Kenny being Kenny, my bad

Giants WR Kenny Golladay left Giants' practice Tuesday with an apparent leg injury.
Video from the team's practice shows Golladay grabbing at the back of his left leg near the end of a passing play. Golladay, who signed a four-year, $72 million deal with New York this offseason, was escorted into the team facility by member of the training staff. It's a deeply concerning development for Golladay, who missed most of the 2020 season with a hip injury. His absence would leave a massive void in the Giants offense and open up targets for Sterling Shepard, Evan Engram, and Darius Slayton.

Sports Illustrated's John Shipley said Jaguars RB Travis Etienne has been "uncoverable" in training camp.
Jacksonville linebackers have been regularly left in the dust in one-on-one situations with the rookie during training camp. Head coach Urban Meyer is intent on utilizing Etienne primarily as a pass catcher; James Robinson and Carlos Hyde are expected to share early-down duties. Etienne's role remaining stagnant throughout the season is a tough sell though. He'll likely take on a larger workload if his excellent college production carries over to the pros. Etienne is one of the most attractive dead zone running backs in fantasy. Shipley added RB Dare Ogunbowale has been the best Jaguars running back in pass protection.

Hope he didn't get hard, those poor trainers

Deshaun Watson was not present Tuesday at the Texans' first padded practice.
The weirdness continues at Texans training camp, where the team continues to ice out Watson, who has been brutally clear that he doesn't want to be in Houston. Watson's Tuesday absence could be explained by team trainers examining his foot or ankle during Monday's camp practice. Facing sexual assault accusations from 22 women, Watson is going through the motions so he's not fined by the team. There's little chance he suits up for anyone in 2021, despite the quarterback's camp generating trade rumors last month. Tyrod Taylor is set to start Week 1 for the sad sack Texans.

Problem for DeShaun is there’s no female masseuse left to call in Houston. Needs a new city. What a massive letdown he’s proven to be

Probably heaps of these sort of players in the NFL who haven't been exposed.

I thought he was already cut. Why wait this long. shows how much the league cares about treatment towards women.

No wonder why Zimmer went off on the team. Also invited the beat to practice early this week to see the unvaxed players enter the testing truck. i think in hopes of shaming them into getting the shot since his spray didnt work.
