Before Week 7 of the NFL season could get under way, Dr. Jesse Morse unknowingly found himself in a tense situation: arguing with Christian Watson’s father, Tazim Wajid Wajed, about if the wide receiver had a high ankle sprain or not. By far the most awkward interaction was this exchange, before Morse realized who he was talking to.
“It WAS NOT a high ankle sprain. That was just what they initially thought it was,” wrote Wajed.
“I watched the video, yes, it was,” replied Morse on X (formerly Twitter).

On Monday, at three different NFL outposts – Cleveland, Carolina and Tennessee – the issue of the quarterbacks’ future became a topic of discussion with head coaches.
Coaches can usually offer certainty in such conversations. They can speak without equivocation or doublespeak about the future.

Jared Goff’s recent play has him finally living up to the hype.
It’s not at all uncommon for an NFL quarterback to go on a one-game heater and never do anything else of import. Mitch(ell) Trubisky of the Chicago Bears once threw five touchdown passes in a single half against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Craig Erickson of the Bucs once singed the Indianapolis Colts with a near-perfect performance.

Mikal Bridges’ busted jump shot is the NBA’s biggest mystery right now
