Week 9 NFL News and Notes has the Seattle Seahawks pick up a\nspecial but troubled talent in Josh Gordon while we might have seen the last of\nJoe Flacco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Seattle Seahawks acquisition of Josh Gordon is the\nbiggest news from Week 9. He was let go by the New England Patriots and now\nRussell Wilson has another very good wide receiver on his roster. At his best,\nJosh Gordon is a special talent. The issue is nobody knows if and when we’ll\nsee that again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seattle head coach Pete Carroll confirmed that Gordon will\nnot play in their Week 9 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccs. The way Carroll\nspoke, he didn’t seem to be 100% sure of Gordon’s physical condition. He said\nhe heard that he was ok physically but instead chose to talk about how unique\nof a talent he is. It will be interesting to see how Seattle is able to use him\nmoving forward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Denver Broncos QB Joe Flacco has been placed on injured\nreserve. His season comes to an end ahead of week 9 leaving the Broncos without\na quarterback. Rookie Drew Lock has been on injured reserve and hasn’t practiced\nsince August. He is on track to begin practicing in a few weeks as he recovers\nfrom a thumb injury but as of right now, the Broncos are in real trouble. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They will turn to Brandon Allen and it is hard to say what\nthat will mean for them in terms of production. Joe Flacco was not having the\ngreatest of seasons in all honesty with only five touchdowns. He has also been\nsacked 26 times which could explain his injury. Flacco has mentioned soreness\nin his neck but isn’t sure when it happened. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The injury to Flacco doesn’t change much for the Broncos\nheaded into Week 9. Even with him healthy they are not a playoff team. This way\nthey can try and move up in the draft and hopefully get Lock out there for a\ngame or two to see what they have. Even though John Elway made it seem like\nFlacco was a good fit the truth is he was almost a stop gap. They didn’t want\nto rush Lock into action and he ended up getting hurt anyway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This team has to solve their quarterback situation and fast\nbecause they do have some good players at the skill positions. They really need\nto do something about this offensive line though. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 49ers have been winning with defense and they will be\nmissing Kwan Alexander for the rest of the season. He was one of their big\noffseason moves and losing him will be a big blow. He is a very talented linebacker\nwho makes plays all over the field. The torn pectoral muscle is a bad injury\nbut they hope to have him ready for the start of next season. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Week 9 NFL News and Notes has the Seattle Seahawks pick up a special but troubled talent in Josh Gordon while we might have seen the last of Joe Flacco.
