UNDATED (AP) — News from the NFL on Monday includes two major injuries and a trade involving an eight-time Pro Bowl linebacker.
Saints quarterback Jameis Winston is done for the season after suffering a major left knee injury during the second quarter of Sunday’s win over the Buccaneers. An MRI shows a torn ACL and damage to the MCL in Winston’s left knee.
New Orleans coach Sean Payton says he’s content to stick with the three remaining healthy QBs on his roster.
Derrick Henry’s situation is only a little better. The NFL rushing leader will undergo surgery on his right foot on Tuesday, a damaging blow to the Titans’ offense. Tennessee coach Mike Vrabel says the team isn’t putting a timetable on Henry’s return.
The Titans placed Henry on injured reserve Monday afternoon.
The big deal of the day has Von Miller going from the Broncos to the Rams. Two people familiar with the deal say Denver will get second- and third-round picks in the 2022 draft for the perennial Pro Bowler. The Broncos also are picking up $9 million of the $9.7 million left on his contract.
