Los Rams pierden a Justin Hollins
This Monday, the head coach of the Rams, Sean McVay, said at a press conference that the team will lose for “a long time” to LB Justin Hollins, who had established himself as a starter at the start of the 2021 season. Hollins suffered a pectoralis major injury the previous Sunday against the Buccaneers and will need surgery to repair the damage.
Said surgical procedure is scheduled to be performed today, so Hollins will be placed on the Injury Reserve until further notice. “It is a great loss for us,” said McVay, adding that he will have an idea of a more exact return date until after surgery. So far this season, Hollins produced 12 total tackles, 2 sacks and 1 force fumble as a starter for the Rams, so it will be a tough defensive loss.
The Oregon graduate came to the NFL in 2019 as a fifth-round pick for the Broncos, where he only played one season before being claimed on waivers by the Rams the previous year. In total, during his career, he has participated in 34 games, registering 6 sacks, 3 passes defended and 61 total tackles. And while the injury is not expected to end his campaign, he will miss out on much of what looked to be a promising 2021.

Buccaneers lose Scotty Miller indefinitely
Bad news for the Buccaneers. This Monday, via Adam Schefter from ESPN, it was confirmed that the WR Scotty Miller suffered a toe injury, so “a significant amount of time” will be lost. The team is still waiting for more test results to assess exactly how long Miller will be out, however, it is highly likely that he will be placed on Injured Reserve. Therefore, if confirmed, at least he would miss the next three weeks of Tampa Bay play.
This 2021, Miller has played in all three games this season, but has been very little involved in offense, catching just 2 passes for 11 yards. However, last season he emerged as a key element in the team’s passing game, recording 33 receptions for 501 total yards.
The Bowling Green alumnus, who came to the Buccaneers as a sixth-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, has so far accumulated a total of 48 receptions for 712 yards and 4 TDs. Will he be able to compose his path this season, or is a recession inevitable?

Frank Reich: “Carson Wentz at 70, 80, was our best option”
How low should the HC confidence be? France with his quarterback corps so that a Carson Wentz hurt is your best option? In the Colts game last Sunday against the Titans, Wentz’s involvement was decided at the last minute due to an injury to both of his ankles, and through the team’s website, Reich noted that although Wentz was not in his best condition, it was the best option to start the game:
“I think Carson did a good job understanding what his limitations were and playing within that,” Reich said, via the team’s website. “He is our quarterback. We felt that he at 70, 80%, however he was, was our best option to beat a very good team of visitors. If we had made a little more plays, we would have been there. There were many opportunities in this game, a very close game ”.
After the game ended, Wentz said he is “very confident” that his physical condition will continue to improve heading into Week 4 when they face the Dolphins, in what they hope will be their first win of the year. And Reich hopes the statement is true, as he has already made it clear that he prefers to put an injured quarterback before substitutes. Brett Hundley O Jacob Eason.
