Per Kelechi Osemele’s agents: Osemele’s surgery went well yesterday, but damage to shoulder was more extensive than anticipated. His representatives and NFLPA are now considering specific action against the Jets’ team doctor for violations of State Medical Board Regulations.October 26, 2019 at 3:00 pm #107391znModeratorProFootballTalk@ProFootballTalk
The Bengals and LT Cordy Glenn are squabbling over the handling of his concussion; at one point, the Bengals fined Glenn $200,000 for conduct detrimental to the teamIan Rapoport@RapSheet
The situation between the #Bengals and OL Cordy Glenn has come to a head. The team has suspended him for one game for internal disciplinary reasons.David J. Chao@ProFootballDoc
Since so much of concussion evaluation is based on the patient, the player has all the power. Don’t see how a team could fine a player as it is very hard (impossible?) to prove malingering.I am sure there is more to this story than meets the eye. And when it comes out, this will all make sense.

Kelechi Osemele says he needs shoulder surgery but the team has not authorized it yet. There seems to be a disagreement between him and the team about whether he needs surgery.Two doctors have cleared Kelechi Osemele to play, according to a source. They determined the injury existed prior to this season and is something he can play through.

Jets OL Kelechi Osemele has been told by two doctors that he needs shoulder surgery, per source.The source says the Jets have been attempting to delay surgery by sending blank and incorrect MRI images to doctors…even going as far as refusing to release workers comp forms.
Manish Mehta@MMehtaNYDN
Kelechi Osemele says that Jets GM Joe Douglas admitted to him that the team inadvertently sent blank MRIs to doctors. KO said Douglas called it an “honest mistake” by the teamOctober 26, 2019 at 3:09 pm #107393znModeratorKelechi Osemele injury update: Jets guard (shoulder) gets doctor’s, NFLPA’s backing
The curious case of Kelechi Osemele’s disagreement with the Jets about the guard’s shoulder injury continued to get stranger Thursday.
To recount: Osemele, who said last week he needs surgery for a torn labrum that the Jets haven’t approved, is being fined by the team for missing practice as conduct detrimental to the team.
On Wednesday, he said after receiving a third opinion on the shoulder, he will have surgery Friday, with or without the team’s OK, according to multiple reports.
The NFLPA on Thursday came out in support of Osemele, saying, in part, in a statement, “It is not appropriate or ethical for employers in any line of work to dictate the medical care and treatment of any employee. We are considering all options to protect Kelechi Osemele, as we would for any of our members.”

Finally: Jets released OL Kelechi Osemele and activated LB James Burgess from the practice squad.October 27, 2019 at 11:59 am #107421znModeratorJoel Corry@corryjoel
If still an agent, I wouldn’t recommend clients signing with the Jets in free agency because of Kelechi Osemele & prolonged unreasonableness with payment schedule of Quinnen Willams’ signing bonus unless no other options or much better money than somewhere else.November 1, 2019 at 12:53 am #107626znModeratorTrent Williams: Doctors downplayed for more than five years tumor that was cancerous

Washington left tackle Trent Williams met with reporters on Thursday for the first time since returning to the team this week and provided details about the medical condition that played a major role in his decision to stay away from the team until Tuesday.
Williams said he went to team doctors almost six years ago about the growth on his head that he wound up having removed this offseason. He said the doctors told him it was a minor condition at the time and he accepted that diagnosis while continuing to play.
The growth continued to grow, however, and he sought other outside opinions earlier this year. That was when he learned he had Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans, which is a rare, soft-tissue cancer.
“I had cancer. I had a tumor removed. It got pretty serious for a second. I was told some scary things by the doctor,” Williams said, via Kareem Copeland of the Washington Post.
Williams did not pass his physical because he felt discomfort when he tried on his helmet on Wednesday and head coach Bill Callahan said on Thursday that the team is looking for a way to customize the helmet to fit Williams comfortably. Williams said “we’ll see how this helmet thing turns out,” but there are other issues as well.
Williams suggested it would be crazy for him to play without having any guaranteed money on his contract. Williams, who is signed through next season, laughed when asked if he wanted to be traded in the offseason and said he has no trust for the organization, although he did say his relationship with team owner Dan Snyder is good.
He also said he still loves football, although it appears to be anybody’s guess when Williams might be playing it again.
