Merry Christmas everyone!
The TDActu team takes advantage of this article to wish you a Merry Christmas and a very happy holiday season! Whether you are with family or at work, we hope you have a good time!
And see you on Thursday for the summaries of the Christmas matches, before the end of the season which promises to be full of surprises!
Bills: Josh Allen limps but plans to play
Hit in the foot, Josh Allen (QB, Bills) does not intend to give up his place for the clash against the Eagles. “I feel good, I’m ready to play,” assured the reigning MVP to the press.
According to ESPN, Allen was limping a bit when he arrived at a press conference on Tuesday.
Jets: season over for Justin Fields
Bothered by his knee for several weeks, Justin Fields (QB, Jets) will not see the field again in 2025. The Jets officially placed him on injured reserve Tuesday.
The quarterback returned to training last week, but admitted to the press that he was not ready to play. Ultimately, he will have an offseason to recover.
Placed on the bench since November 17, Fields had seen Tyrod Taylor then Brady Cook pass in front of him. Starting 9 times this year, Justin Fields has thrown 7 touchdowns for just one interception. But the Jets only won two games with him, and the offense was slipping. Officially, he has one year left on his contract, but he could be part of the offseason cuts.
49ers: George Kittle’s ankle sprain
This shouldn’t stop him from playing, but George Kittle (TE, 49ers) might need a good strapping for its next outing. Tuesday, ESPN has learned that Kittle would suffer from a sprained ankle.
The good news is he avoided ligament damage, which likely would have kept him off the field. Kittle would also have been hit in the first part of the last match, which he finished after a strap.
Suspensions confirmed for DK Metcalf (Steelers), supported by his coach
Unsurprisingly, the NFL has not reversed its decision. DK Metcalf will miss the Steelers’ final two games of the regular season. The suspension imposed on him following a clash with a Lions supporter was upheld on appeal.
He will therefore be absent against the Browns and the Ravens. Pittsburgh must win one of these two games to validate its qualification for the playoffs. In the process, Metcalf will lose $555,556 in salary. And the suspension voids the guarantee that covered $45 million in salary in his contract. He will still be able to receive this money, but it is no longer guaranteed.
The player’s entourage explained to NFL Media that the fan allegedly insulted racist and misogynistic insults, which the fan denied through his lawyer.
« He explained to me why he did what he did. And I’m not excusing his behavior, but I support DK“, explained Mike Tomlin to ESPN. “ […] He is involved. He works hard. He’s a great guy. He’s a good teammate, and that’s why it’s easy to support him. »
The Lions have indicated that the supporter concerned will not be sanctioned.
Suspension also confirmed for Denzel Perryman (Chargers)
Two suspension matches also for Denzel Perryman (LB, Chargers)him for repeated violations of the league’s security rules.
He too had appealed. But again, the decision was confirmed. Perryman was notably sanctioned for a helmet-to-helmet hit during his team’s last match, against the Cowboys.
Patriots: Milton Williams comes off injured list
A strong reinforcement for the Patriots. 132 kilos exactly. Tuesday, Milton Williams (DT, Patriots) was designated to come off the injured list. He will therefore return to training, and his team has three weeks to decide whether to bring him into the active squad.
Williams has missed the last four games with an ankle injury. In the first 11 games, he had 27 tackles and 3.5 sacks.
