Quarterback Sam Darnold hasn’t been cleared for a full return to football activities after a bout with mononucleosis Alexander Mattison Jersey , but is doing cardio work and expects a green light in time to play against the Eagles in Week Five.Darnold also expects his return to action to coincide with a positive turn for the team as a whole. Darnold believes that the 0-3 team is going to get a taste of winning once he’s back in the lineup.“We’re going to go on a little run here,” Darnold said, via the . “It’s going to be fun, but it’s going to take a lot of work. I know a lot of the guys on the team are willing to put in that work.”Anyone who has seen the Jets’ three losses in the first three weeks can tell that the team’s issues go beyond missing Darnold for the last two weeks, but having a competent offense would be a big step in the right direction. Once Darnold gets a thumbs up from doctors, that hope will become a realistic one for the Jets. San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman remained in a walking boot Thursday.However he was adamant that his strained left calf is not related to his other more serious leg problems of the past year.Sherman hurt his calf in the second quarter of Sunday’s loss at Kansas City and didn’t return. Team officials said he’ll miss at least two games, though Sherman said the only certainty was that he’d be sidelined for this Sunday’s road game against the Los Angeles Chargers.The three-time All-Pro missed the final seven games of last season after having surgery to repair a ruptured right Achilles tendon. But given that he also had surgery on his left Achilles during the offseason http://www.minnesotavikingsteamonline.com/dru-samia-jersey , Sherman was asked whether his current left leg injury might be connected to past issues.“It just makes it an easy story for you guys. Makes it lazy reporting,” Sherman said. “But nah, it’s getting back out there and going through the trials and tribulations of a season, wear and tear of football and taking all these reps after not taking them for eight months. Your body’s gotta get used to it again.”The 30-year-old Sherman missed a practice leading into the Chiefs game for what the team described as a “heel” issue, so he at least was on the injury radar even before Sunday.His absence is a damaging blow for a 49ers pass defense that ranks 27th in the NFL at 287.7 yards allowed per game. The Chargers enter Sunday ranked fifth in total offense (415.3 yards per game).Jimmie Ward, who has spent part of his career at safety, is expected to start in Sherman’s place. Second-year player Ahkello Witherspoon Daniel Jones Jersey , who struggled two weeks ago against Detroit, likely will man the other cornerback spot.Compounding things is that both of San Francisco’s starting safeties, Adrian Colbert and Jaquiski Tartt, are battling injuries and their status is unknown for Sunday.But aside from health, the biggest issue for San Francisco’s defense has been poor tackling through the first three games. Defensive coordinator Robert Saleh said his unit is getting back to basics in practice, drilling on fundamentals even when the team is out of pads.“It’s very clear when you turn on the tape that we’re actually lunging and ducking our heads at the point of attack,” Saleh said. “When you teach tackling Quincy Williams II Jersey , everything that we talk about is you’ve got to run your body through their body.“Get a body on a body, step on their toes, wrap up, keep your feet moving, drive for five and get them to the ground.”The biggest culprits last Sunday were inside linebackers Reuben Foster and rookie Fred Warner, who missed six and four tackles respectively. Those two are believed to be a promising young core of the 49ers defense.But Sunday was Foster’s season debut after serving a two-game suspension. Saleh said Foster may have been knocking rust off, but the linebacker wasn’t letting himself off the hook.“That’s uncalled for Ryquell Armstead Jersey , just missing tackles like that,” Foster said. “That’s not like us as a team and that’s not like me.”NOTES: Tartt (shoulder) missed Thursday’s practice as did guard Joshua Garnett (toe). Colbert (hip), running back Alfred Morris (knee) and guard Mike Person (knee) were limited. . Foster used “Roody-poo” in a quote earlier this week, a term made famous by “The Rock” during his wrestling days. Foster was delighted that the Hollywood star referenced it on Twitter. “It was amazing,” Foster said of the shout-out.<div class=”stanzacal” data-width=”100%” data-height=”250px” ></div> <script src=”https://dff2h0hbfv6w4.cloudfront.net/scr...stanzacal-v1.js” type=”text/javascript”></script> |
