NFL Week 1 Injury News: Latest On Treveyon Henderson, Puka Nacua
As the NFL season hits full stride, teams are already grappling with the brutal, unavoidable side effects of the game. Physicality is an unavoidable part of the NFL and as the season gets underway, the injury report is already filling up. From training camp setbacks to mid-week practice tweaks, availability can change a team's trajectory in an instant. Here are the notable players who are dealing with injuries ahead of Week 1 of the NFL season. Heading into Wednesday night’s season opener against the Seattle Seahawks, the New England Patriots could be without one of their biggest playmakers. According to ESPN, Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson is still not practicing as he deals with an ankle injury. Henderson hasn’t practiced for the Patriots since Aug. 24, putting his availability for Wednesday’s opener in doubt. If he’s ruled out, veteran Rhamondre Stevenson might be in line for a heavier workload on Wednesday night. Missing Henderson would be a major blow to a revamped Patriots offense. He was a huge part of the offense last season, rushing for 911 yards on 5.1 yards per carry and nine touchdowns while adding 35 catches for 221 yards and another score. Sean McVay delivered good news on Puka Nacua on Sunday. The Los Angeles Rams head coach said he expects the All-Pro wide receiver to play in Thursday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. "Yeah, absolutely," McVay told reporters when asked about Nacua's status to face the Niners in Australia. "That's what I've heard. I haven't heard anything different." Nacua has been managing psoas soreness and has been out since he suffered the injury during an August joint practice against the Dallas Cowboys. The Rams took a cautious approach with his workload throughout the remainder of training camp. orlando-books.blog

Crítica de la razón futbolística
Hace unos años escribí un texto en torno a la obra del pintor vasco Alfonso Gortázar en el que me preguntaba cuáles eran las razones que llevaban a un pintor a tomar una decisión u otra en el proceso de creación de una obra. Argumentaba entonces que uno de los problemas para comprender el valor actual de la pintura era que esta había sucumbido al discurso y que, en general, cuando un pintor revisaba su propio trabajo en catálogos, entrevistas o textos, tendía a justificarlo recurriendo a conceptos que son ajenos a lo que acontece en el lienzo. Mi tesis no era que el discurso en torno a la pintura fuera necesariamente falso, sino que no pertenecía al mismo orden de pensamiento. Titulé el texto Las razones del pintor. Siempre he sido cobarde poniendo títulos. Debí llamarlo Crítica de la razón pictórica.
NFL's new three-strike system doesn't apply until the 2026 regular season
The NFL and the NFL Players Association have agreed to a new three-strike formula that will trigger automatic suspensions for repeated violations of five specific safety rules: hip-drop tackles, horse-collar tackles, launching, hits on defenseless players, and blindside blocks.
Per the NFLPA, the new procedure doesn't commence until the 2026 regular season. Which means that players who were fined for any of the five specific rules won't carry them into the games that count.
That's good news for any of the various players who were dinged for the infractions that otherwise would have counted toward a potential suspension.
It applies to Cardinals safety Dadrion Taylor-Demerson, who was fined $7,148 for a hit on a defenseless player in Week 2 of the preseason. And to Cardinals safety Wydett Williams, who was fined $4,935 for a hit on a defenseless player in the same game.
And to Bengals linebacker Shaka Heyward, who was fined $5,972 for a hip-drop tackle in Week 2 of the preseason. (He's currently on Cincinnati's practice squad.) And to Chiefs tight end Jake Briningstool, who was fined $4,972 in Week 2 of the preseason for a blindside block.
And to Rams linebacker Darryl Peterson III, who was fined $4,935 in Week 1 of the preseason for a horse-collar tackle. (He's currently on the L.A. practice squad.) And to Buccaneers linebacker David Walker, who was fined $6,254 in Week 1 of the preseason for a blindside block.
None of them will be on strike two when the regular season begins. Which means that all of them will still be three violations of each specific rule away from a suspension.
Again, a one-game suspension happens only if a player violates the same rule three times. A player can, in theory, violate each of the rules twice and still not be suspended.
