News about Duane Brown

Aaron Rodgers, the New York Jets quarterback, told reporters that he was not worried about the team's preseason struggles on the offensive line and that his fear was actually 'pretty low.' In addition to being the recipient of six sacks and numerous pressures during Wednesday's joint workout with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Jets are also dealing with multiple injuries to projected starters along the oline. Both starting guards Laken Tomlinson and Alijah Vera-Tucker are recovering from an injury, and projected starting left tackle Duane Brown is also on the medical unable to function list as he recovers from a shoulder injury.

It's just days away that the fortunes and futures of the league's 32 franchises will be changed in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft. This round, only 31 picks would be made, as the Miami Dolphins were forced to forfeit their pick due to being found guilty of tampering. With a lot of talent to choose from, several franchises are expected to change their fortune in future seasons with the picks made - with multiple NFL-ready quarterbacks, effective offensive blockers, and deadly defensive arms on sale alongside elite receivers.

Since Joe Flacco's first-week struggles, the Jets will not make a quarterback change for Week 2, retaining him as the starter and keeping Zach Wilson out due to injury. Flacco, a 37-year-old quarterback in his 15th NFL season, passed for 307 yards and a touchdown against the Ravens, but it took him a whopping 59 attempts to get there and he also throws a pick. The Jets will lose the game 24-9 after struggling to properly compete with Baltimore and scoring their lone touchdown in the game's final minute.

After Mekhi Becton was hurt and well, much for the suggestion, the New York Jets signed all-pro left tackle Duane Brown to be a starter. Brown was put on the IR after he sustained his shoulder injury during Monday's workout. Week five is the earliest he'll be able to be ruled off IR for the Jets. Mike Garafolo, Brown, and doctors discussed many alternatives, including surgery, before he decided to try and repair the injury.

The Jets have regained control at the tackle position, and a big passenger is expected to board for their blustery playoff push. All 315lb and 6-foot-4 of Duane Brown will join Gang Green for a two-year contract, valued at $22 million per Ian Rapoport. Brown provides a lot of back-up for fellow left tackle Mekhi Becton, who will miss the entire NFL season after suffering a chip fracture in his right kneecap.

Both teams will have to wait another year for the 2020 first round pick to maintain the promising form he displayed during his rookie season. Becton sustained a 'different' injury to the same right knee on Monday that required surgery last season.
