New on SI: Report: Saints' Michael Thomas Expected to Open Season on PUP List

The wide receiver will miss at least the first five games of the season as New Orleans will reportedly place him on the physically unable to perform list. View the original article to see embedded media. Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas will miss at least the first five games of the season as the franchise is expected to place him on the physically unable to perform list, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Thomas will be unable to practice until the first six weeks of the season have passed, but due to the Saints' having a bye week in Week 6, he will initially miss just five games. The first game Thomas could appear in is against the Seahawks on Monday Night Football in Week 7.  Thomas had his ankle surgically repaired in June and had long been reportedly expected to miss the start of the 2021 season.  However, coach Sean Payton recently said Thomas was "ahead of schedule" in his recovery. The three-time Pro Bowler played in seven regular-season games in ...

New on SI: Bill Belichick May Have Outsmarted Everyone Again

Image
The Patriots are now all-in on Mac Jones, and they may have found a potential star hiding in plain sight. Bill Belichick is probably right, because Bill Belichick is usually right, and so we should pause now to ponder what it means if he is. Belichick just stuffed the rest of his career into Mac Jones’s pocket, just four months after Jones was the fifth quarterback taken in the draft. We are left with the astounding but increasingly likely possibility that Belichick outsmarted the league yet again. The Patriots might have found a star hiding in plain sight: a national-championship winning, All-America quarterback at the nation’s most successful college program. We’ll see how Jones does—next week, next month, next year. But if he excels, I would not want to be the general manager who has to explain how I missed on that guy. Well … uh … I know he showed he could do all this at Alabama … but ... um … you see … Eric Hartline/USA TODAY Sports Maybe Belichick is wrong. But if he’s ...

New on SI: Inside the Decision to Have Peyton and Eli Manning Work Without a Host on ‘Monday Night Football’: TRAINA THOUGHTS

Image
Why will it just be the brothers on the ‘Monday Night Football’ alternate telecast? 1.  It was reported Monday that ESPN’s alternate Monday Night Football telecast featuring Peyton and Eli Manning, which will air on ESPN2 for 10 weeks this season, will not have a host or play-by-play person. The broadcast will just feature the two Mannings with an array of guests. Sources have told me that just two people auditioned with Peyton and Eli: Good Morning Football ’s Kyle Brandt and ESPN’s Mina Kimes. Both reportedly performed very well, but on Aug. 23, Peyton and Eli called the Jaguars-Saints Monday Night Football game without a host as a test. The brothers apparently knocked it out of the park and convinced ESPN and Peyton’s Omaha Productions that a host wasn’t needed.  While it would've been great to see Brandt react to an Angry Run in real time , this isn’t totally shocking. The alternate broadcast was always going to be The Peyton Manning Show and a host, no matter who...

New on SI: MAQB: Kyle Shanahan Has Experience Toggling Between Two Offenses

Image
If the 49ers are really going to deploy both Jimmy Garoppolo and Trey Lance, their coach can draw on one particular experience in Washington. No games this week! But there will be a lot of activity, so let’s get into all that … Stan Szeto/USA TODAY Sports (Shanahan); Marc Lebryk/USA TODAY Sports (Wentz); Christopher Hanewinckel/USA TODAY Sports (Fields) • I understand the skepticism that the Niners will be able to make a Jimmy Garoppolo/Trey Lance shuttle work. But as a counter, I’ve got a story to tell—one that I think will bring some context to Kyle Shanahan’s staff’s ability to pull it off. And so I’ll take you back to 2012 and Washington, where Shanahan as offensive coordinator, his dad was head coach and Niners offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel was a quality control coach. After drafting Robert Griffin III with the second pick that April, Kyle Shanahan built an adapted version of the Baylor Air Raid offense that Griffin ran in college to shorten the learning curve.
