After each week of NFL football games for the 2017-2018 season, the Heads 'N Tales podcast will be posting an episode dedicated to injuries and health &amp; safety topics surrounding the NFL. Specifically we will talk about possible prevention strategies, the rulebook, equipment and other injury buzz around the league.  My co-host and strategist for these episodes will be one of my closest friends, Josh Boyd (hence the J in "JK"..I'm the K...).  Josh and I grew up playing baseball together. Josh was a division-1 center fielder for Monmouth University and experienced his fair share of injuries throughout his career.  Although Josh never played organized football, the dude flat-out knows the game of football and undoubtably knows more about the ins-and-outs of the sport better than I do from both a fan and x's &amp; o's perspective.  Our intention for these episodes is to spark conversations around topics that are usually brushed under the rug or only minimally covered in the hopes of making football and all sports safer for the athletes who play them.   You are currently looking at the show notes for Week 11! Week 11 Injuries:  Chris Thompson, RB Washington, Fractured Fibula (Out for Year)  This injury to Chris Thompson doesn't look good. Right ankle gets trapped underneath a Saints player pic.twitter.com/WW8hQcp42n — Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL)  November 19, 2017  Is this a result of not going 100%?   Alex Okafor, DE New Orleans, Torn Achilles (Out for Year)  This was the Alex Okafor injury, if you didn't see. Favored his lower right leg. No doctor of course, thoughts @ProFootballDoc? pic.twitter.com/Tzw9OmZcNN — John Hendrix (@JohnJHendrix)  November 20, 2017  Signed 1 year contract in offseason after 4 years in ARI Breakout year, pending free agent again Why guys hold out and should hold out for big contract when they can   Kelvin Benjamin, WR Buffalo, Right Knee, Status TBD (History)  Here’s a better angle on the Kelvin Benjamin right knee injury. He grabbed the back of the knee. Being carted to the locker room now.  #bills pic.twitter.com/OXYFdOuKvU — Nick Veronica (@NickVeronica)  November 19, 2017  Not a defenseless receiver situation    #Bills WR Kelvin Benjamin carted off the field with injury, here's the play pic.twitter.com/1IjF6GAvYu — Dov Kleiman (@NFL_DovKleiman)  November 19, 2017  Torn Left ACL in 2015 training camp Avoided any ligament damage this injury   D’Onta Foreman, RB Houston, Torn Achilles (Out for Year)  This 34-yard TD run and injury by Texans rookie D'Onta Foreman is 2017 in a nutshellpic.twitter.com/MroSsQnTMQ — NFL Retweet (@NFLRT)  November 19, 2017  Jay Cutler, QB Miami, Concussion  Jay Cutler played a half. Matt Moore played a half.  They played the same team.  Here are the stats comparison as the game is now tied at 20. pic.twitter.com/WFqL6LMyOK — Dov Kleiman (@NFL_DovKleiman)  November 19, 2017  (Article, no video) Kristen Cavallari (Wife) Hates Football  (Via Instagram)  Johnny Holton, WR Oakland, Concussion Protocol   #Raiders versus  #Patriots: Johnny Holton shows clear  #concussion signs after his head violently bounces off the turf. Holds head, remains on ground. Now in "protocol." I am really hoping that the noise we made last week re: 3 protocol breaches prevents his return.

I believe that's the second time this season that Jaydon Mickens has hit a coverage guy to prevent him from downing a punt. Heads-up play. https://t.co/PJdzygWzkL — Michael DiRocco (@ESPNdirocco)  November 19, 2017  This is technically within the legal rules because a fair catch was not signaled We think the  defenseless player definition needs to be expanded to include situations such as this one   Kiko Alonso misses hit on Ryan Fitzpatrick Kiki Alonso tries to “Flacco” Ryan Fitzpatrick and draws a penalty pic.twitter.com/mqvDqXH8o2 — Boston Sports Info (@bostonsportsinf)  November 19, 2017  Looking back on the  Flacco hit, this looks like head-hunting  Travis Kelce trick play interception leads to our first Defenseless Defender!
