4 most impactful injuries so far, plus would the Browns bench Watson?
New York TimesScoop City is The Athletic’s daily NFL newsletter. Live from Charlotte, North Carolina, where the 1-2 Panthers say they aren’t considering trading Bryce Young: Rather than simply watch as the Panthers go down with Young’s stock, The Athletic’s writers explored three trade scenarios, finding he could theoretically fetch a fourth-rounder, significantly better than what the Jets got for Zach Wilson after waiting longer. Placed on the IR last week after his third documented concussion, he traveled to Seattle to watch Sunday’s game from the 1-2 Dolphins’ bench, where he was seen wearing sunglasses. He’ll miss at least the next three games, with HC Mike McDaniel emphasizing the importance of Tagovailoa “not worrying about anything as it relates to timelines.” The 26-year-old is meeting with outside neurologists this week. Opponents are noticing something a little different about this year’s 49ers though, and it doesn’t have anything to do with the Brandon Aiyuk and Trent Williams holdouts or the Christian McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel injuries.
