BYU Cougars in NFL 2015

Discussion for professional sporting events/teams and players.

This would be a great place to discuss the Super Bowl, the NBA Playoffs or whatever else.

Dennis Pitta will apparently start the season on the PUP list. I sure hope he can get healthy and stay that way for at least a couple of years; dude's got so much potential.

Van Noy and Ansah both dealing with nagging injuries it sounds like

Ansah with ankle and Van Noy... not sure exactly.

Anyone have any details?

All they've let on about KVN is that it's not the same injury as last year's sports hernia, and it's not another hernia in general. Other than that they just say it's "worsening".

It sounds like KVN's injury may be the same thing, but on the other side of his body now. It's just weird that they are being so shy with details on a guy headed to the IR for the second season in a row.

I just went on the tweets sight to the right. There is a clip of Vic So' oto playing for the Packers against the KC Chiefs. The commentators were talking about something while Vic drifted out in the passing lane, stepped in front of the receiver and packed the ball into the end zone and did the L L. About the time he passed the line of scrimmage One of the guys noticed it and started shouting until he made the leap. He'd already had 2 sacks and the guy said he'd make the 53 man. I'm starting to like the Packers again.

I thought Vic was out of the league. Did he get signed?
