In one way or another, part of being a professional football player is learning to play through injuries. That being said, it&#8217;s hard not to notice how key injuries are affecting teams all over the league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two of the best quarterbacks in the\ngame have missed time which nobody wants to see. Those types of injuries can\nseverely alter the playoff picture for the entire league. Fortunately for the\nSaints and the Chiefs, they have been able to manage without their star\nplayers. The Saints in particular have proven that they are serious title\ncontenders when Drew Brees gets back to his best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"another-quarterback-goes-down\">Another Quarterback Goes Down<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Indianapolis Colts lost their\nfranchise quarterback to injury before the season even started. When Andrew\nLuck retired, the Colts season seemed to be thrown into disarray. In steps\nJacoby Brissett to silence all of the doubters. He has proven this season that\nhe isn\u2019t just a capable backup, he is a starting quarterback in the NFL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brissett seems to have injured his\nknee but did leave the field on his own. He had a noticeable limp when he\nexited but the fact that he was able to get up after several minutes on the\nground is encouraging. The team is calling is a sprain for now but more testing\nwill have to be done. The Colts have had a great season with Brissett at the\nhelm and would be a shame for his season to be put in jeopardy after what this\nfranchise has already gone through with Luck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Steeler Rumored to be Interested in\nLe&#8217;Veon Bell<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s not a misprint, this\nactually happened. After refusing to pay him what he believed he was worth,\nforcing him to sit out all of last season, the Steelers inquired about the\npossibility of bringing Le&#8217;Veon Bell back. That&#8217;s how bad the NFL injuries have\nbeen this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last week, the Steelers starting\nrunning back James Conner injured his shoulder. The team feared that the injury\nwas serious, which is why they thought about bringing Bell back. This story\nseems so crazy that the fact that those in Pittsburgh are acting like it&#8217;s not\na big deal is straight up weird at this point. In the end, the Steelers\nrealized that Connor was not as hurt as previously believed. To be fair to the\nSteelers, apparently Bell is not the only running back that they inquired about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"not-all-bad-news-on-the-injury-front\">Not All Bad News On the Injury Front<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It hasn\u2019t been all bad News on the\nNFL injuries front. Drew Brees returned against Arizona and looked very\nimpressive. He was able to lead his team to victory and hardly looked like he\nmissed any time with the way he picked up blitzes in that game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for Patrick Mahomes, we aren&#8217;t\nsure when he&#8217;ll be back but he has been in practice for the last few weeks. HIs\nreturn seems eminent which is great for football fans around the league.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In the NFL injuries are a part of everyday life but it feels like this year in particular has seen a number a star players go down hurt.
