Whenever an injury occurs, it is regrettable, but when it occurs in a position as sensitive as quarterback, the situation rises.
Week 2 of the regular NFL season is just being celebrated, and we already have a negative balance for some quarterbacks.
Last week I played Nick Foles, the Most Valuable Player of Super Bowl XLVII who arrived this year at the Jacksonville Jaguars, and suffered a broken collarbone in the game against the Kansas City Chiefs; The first one left out.
For this second date, unfortunately there have been several casualties. Let's see:
Drew Brees, just in the first quarter, suffered a blow to the right thumb while trying to send a pass and his right hand hit the hand of stellar defensive tackle Aaron Donald. Result, Brees would no longer return to the game, which the Saints ended up losing to the Rams.
Brees did not travel with the team and will stay in Los Angeles to be evaluated and determine the degree of injury he has.
Ben Roethlisberger of the Pittsburgh Steelers suffered a blow to the elbow of his arm throwing in the game that the black and yellow lost to the Seattle Seahawks. That means that the defeat suffered by the Steelers at home was not the only bad news. Losing 'Big Ben' could itself be worse news than linking its second stumble of the year.
This same Sunday night, Carson Wentz of the Philadelphia Eagles suffered a severe blow to the ribs against the Atlanta Falcons. Wentz finished the game, but there is speculation about the degree of injury he has.
From experience, Wentz is a warrior, but we know that many times, he exposes himself too much and the risk of suffering a major injury persists.
Sam Darnold of the New York Jets is a different thing, but it will be absent. He suffers from a mononucleosis, which is a highly contagious viral disease, so he was separated from the team.
Subject to waiting for more information on all injuries, Foles' is the most serious, but it could be that three undisputed headlines remain several weeks.
This sport is like that, and we understand it, but injuries in this sport known as a "quarterbacks league" can not only be decisive in the future of the teams, but also to the detriment of the show.
