Seahawks Punter Loses Ball, Gets Crushed, Fumbles On Bizarre Trick Play
Share this: Punters are not supposed to take the kind of punishment Seattle Seahawks punter Jon Ryan took in the fourth quarter of Thursday night’s game against the Los Angeles Rams. Ryan took off on a fake punt and had acres of open space ahead of him. Near the end of Ryan’s run, he began to lose control of the ball, and right as he maintained a firm grip again he was crushed by a Rams player. It was ruled a fumble and the Rams recovered, but the play was reviewed and Seattle maintained possession of the football. Ryan immediately was placed into the concussion protocol.

James Starks Placed In Packers’ Concussion Protocol After Car Crash
Share this: The Green Bay Packers unfortunate luck with running backs in 2016 continued this week. James Starks is in the team’s concussion protocol after he was involved in a car crash Monday, Packers head coach Mike McCarthy announced Thursday. McCarthy said Starks otherwise is OK but didn’t provide further details of what happened. The veteran running back, who didn’t practice Wednesday due to a concussion, has had a tough year, rushing for just 145 yards on 63 attempts while missing four games due to injury.
