Apparently, he tweaked his knee at practice yesterday...is he done already?

 

Could be. Tweaked knees bother discontent players differently than they bother content players. It might take some time for Peterson's knee to feel well enough for his nine touches a game.

On the other hand, he is quite a competitor and the knee may feel better ASAP so he can get those nine touches. We'll see.

On Oct. 17 of last year, Erin Henderson was one of two Jets players with a team-high seven tackles in a loss to the Cardinals. It was the second straight game Henderson led New York in tackles. Five days later, the Jets placed him on the non-football injury list, effectively ending his season. In February, they chose not to exercise his contract option, effectively ending his NFL career.

On its face, Henderson’s plight is a common one, according to the unforgiving logic of the NFL’s roster churn. But in a lawsuit recently filed in New Jersey Superior Court, Henderson alleges the Jets discriminated against him because of his bipolar disorder, for which the team had prescribed a medication that, according to what his agent told ESPN, led to adverse side effects that the Jets then used against him.

IKalil is a classic example of a lazy athlete who got by early in his football career because of his physical abilities, and someone who only plays because of those abilities. 

He’s just another Bryant McKinnie, but not as talented. 

Laziness may have some part in his decline.  I tend to think that all his leg injuries took their toll.
