Drew Brees: Terron Armstead injury big blow for Saints

Drew Brees didn't disguise how he feels about the New Orleans Saints losing one of their best offensive assets.
Left tackle Terron Armstead underwent surgery for a torn labrum in his left shoulder last week and Brees didn't mince words of what losing Armstead means to him and the Saints.
"Listen, that's a big blow. I'm not going to lie,"Brees told Larry Holder of The Times-Picayune on Tuesday.
"He worked so hard to come back and to have something like that with a freaky injury, I'm really saddened for him and for our team. He plays a huge role. We always find ways and we have to have these young guys step up. We don't know exactly how that shakes things up."
Armstead's recovery is set to last 4-6 months, leaving a huge void at one of the offensive line's most crucial positions. He has struggled with injuries his entire career, never playing a full 16-game season -- he was limited to seven games in 2016.
Two-time Pro Bowl defensive end Cameron Jordansaid the Saints are ready to win the Super Bowl Nonetheless, the Saints need to fill the gap if Brees wishes to throw for more than 5,000 yards again, as he's done an NFL-best five times in his career. More importantly, the team needs to be firing on all cylinders if it wishes to return the playoffs for the first time since 2013.
with their current roster, but first things first: find a left tackle. Veteran Khalif Barnes looks ready to step in, but coach Sean Payton has 2017 first-round selection Ryan Ramczyk at the ready as well.
Brees said he's open to finding a veteran on the market to help protect his blindside as well, so don't be surprised if New Orleans tries to make a move to bolster its line.
"We've got some tough circumstances we're dealing with right now," Brees said.

Jerry Jones donates $1 million to Harvey relief efforts

I am factory,wholesale NFL NHL MLB NBA NCAA Soccer jerseys this is my store please contact me any time  http://www.fanatiquesmaillot.com/ It only makes sense  Dez Bryant  would be the one to  receive  news of the  Dallas Cowboys ' generous donation for Hurricane Harvey relief efforts. The  Cowboys  held a Salvation Army telethon Thursday at AT&T Stadium to raise money for people affected by the hurricane, and owner Jerry Jones called in to make his donation of $1 million. The person on the other side of the phone:  Dez Bryant . "I thought I was setting Dez up, but he set me up on the conversation, which he's pretty good at doing," Jones told NFL Network's Jane Slater. "Dez likes to get involved in his own business. We've had a couple negations over the years. It was a lot of fun. I'm so rewarded to see these players that understand how they're helping people with their interest and celebrity." The  Cowboys  and the Jon...

Steelers' Martavis Bryant cleared for regular season

I am factory,wholesale NFL NHL MLB NBA NCAA Soccer jerseys this is my store  please contact me any time  http://www.fanatiquesmaillot.com/ Martavis Bryant  is officially back. The  Steelers  wide receiver has been cleared for regular-season practices and games, the NFL announced Friday in a statement. Bryant was conditionally reinstated in April after missing the entire 2016 campaign for a violation of the league's policy on substances of abuse. In August, the NFL announced that the third-year pass-catcher was permitted to participate in all preseason activities, including practices and games. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported last month that Bryant was required by the league to continue attending mandatory counseling sessions in order to gain full reinstatement for the regular season. Bryant clearly checked that box, leaving Pittsburgh with full use of a player who has emerged as one of football's most dangerous red-zone weapons. As fello...

Browns release quarterback Brock Osweiler

I am factory,wholesale NFL NHL MLB NBA NCAA Soccer jerseys this is my store  please contact me any time  http://www.fanatiquesmaillot.com/ It's over for  Brock Osweiler  in Cleveland. In a move that comes as little surprise, the  Browns  have released the veteran quarterback they traded for in March as part of an unusual deal with the  Texans , a source informed of the move told NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport and NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Going from a featured starter during the preseason to an exiled ghost, Osweiler didn't even see the field in Cleveland's final two preseason bouts as the team explored trade options until the end. Set to make a whopping $16 million guaranteed this season, Osweiler was rough-and-tumble trade bait from the start. After all, the cap-rich  Browns  only swapped for the signal-caller and his massive salary as a way to acquire Houston's 2018 second-round draft pick -- an ultra-rare NFL deal th...
