Denver Broncos president of football operations John Elway revealed he underwent treatment for Dupuytren’s contracture in both his hands. “I had it on both hands,” Elway told Jarrett Bell of USA Today. “Both of my fingers are straight again. It’s not something that can be cured. But they can definitely treat it. It has a chance to come back. My hands have come back great. We’re trying to get the word out there, because a lot of people have it that don’t realize they have it.” Bell explained Dupuytren’s contracture, which prevents curled fingers from straightening, is known as “Vikings disease” because it is disproportionately found […]

Emmanuel Sanders is back and ready to play football. It’s been a long road of recovery for the two-time Pro Bowl wide receiver, battling to return after suffering a torn Achilles in his left leg in December. That was only one of his hurdles, however, because it was also revealed recently Sanders had undergone “tightrope” surgery on the opposite ankle as well — to finally fix an issue that began at some point in 2017. With both injuries now completely behind him, Sanders will finally be allowed to again take the field on Monday night — per Adam Schefter of ESPN — when […]

Baltimore Ravens nickelback Tavon Young is expected to miss the entire season with a neck injury, coach John Harbaugh announced after Thursday’s 26-13 victory over the Green Bay Packers.

That’s a serious injury. He could be out for the remainder of the season. We’ll know soon. But it doesn’t […]

Riley, the slugging rookie for the Atlanta Braves, will not need surgery on his injured right knee and expects to return to the lineup in about two weeks. He revealed the good news before the NL East leaders opened a three-game series against the New York Mets on Tuesday. An MRI revealed a partial tear that will require him to wear a brace but nothing more. Surgery likely would have ended his season. ”It looks super strong,” Riley said. ”(The doctor) was surprised that it was so strong. That’s always good news.” But Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson continues to rehab a bruised right […]

The New York Jets went into the preseason notably thin at the cornerback position. Unfortunately, it appears they have suffered what could be a crucial blow. According to ESPN’s Rich Cimini, cornerback Trumaine Johnson has been ruled out indefinitely with a hamstring injury Johnson’s injury raises plenty of concerns regarding the state of the cornerback group going into the 2019 NFL season. The veteran provided much-needed stability to this otherwise inexperienced unit. To make matters worse, the Jets have yet to determine a potential timetable for his return. “Anytime a guy that makes a living running has a hamstring [injury] … we’ll see how […]
