Jackson Could Miss Next Two Games
Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson could miss the next two games, ESPN reported. Jackson is recovering from a sprained PCL suffered last week in a win against the Broncos. He is listed as doubtful for Sunday's matchup with Pittsburgh, and it looks likely he'll miss next week's game against the Browns as well.
Tyler Huntley, who played the final three quarters against Denver, after Jackson exited, is expected to get the start against the Steelers with Anthony Brown as his backup. Brown was activated to the 53-man roster from their practice squad on Saturday.
NFL Fines Saints More Than $500k
The NFL fined the New Orleans Saints organization, head coach Dennis Allen, co-defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen, and defensive end Cameron Jordan more than $500,000 faking an injury in the team's Monday night loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, ESPN reported.
The Saints were fined $350,000, Allen and Nielsen received fines of $100,000 and $50,000, respectively, and Jordan was fined an additional $50,000 for their roles in delaying the fourth quarter of Monday's game.
The Saints released a statement on Saturday denying all wrongdoing and gave further context to Jordan's injury. The Saints claim their pass rusher "felt foot pain following a third-down play" and added he was diagnosed with an acute mid-foot sprain, which has been receiving treatment for this week.
According to ESPN, all fined parties are planning to file appeals.
