THE FLATS – A strong return from injury for Pressley Harvin III, an unfortunate injury for Darren Waller, and continued excellence from Juanyeh Thomas…that and more in Week 9’s edition of #ProJackets in the National Football League.
Pressley Harvin III has been nothing short of impressive since returning from injury in Week 7. The third-year punter had another quality performance with four punts averaging 50.0 yards, including a 62-yard punt, his second-longest of the season. The Steelers beat the Titans 20-16 on Thursday Night Football.
Tight end Darren Waller suffered a hamstring injury this week in practice and is expected to miss four games. Waller is the Giants leading receiver this season and is another devastating loss for an injury-prone Giants squad. His expected return date is December 11 as of now.
Juanyeh Thomas has made a name for himself in the Cowboys secondary this season. The second-year safety has posted an eye-popping 87.0 Pro Football Focus grade through nine games and continues to get more reps as the season goes on. The Cowboys fell to the Eagles 28-23 this Sunday.
Offensive guard Shaq Mason carried his strong season into this week, aiding in the Texans shootout against the Buccaneers. Mason has only allowed 1.0 sack all year, ranking among an elite group of offensive linemen. The Texans defeated the Buccaneers 39-37 over the weekend.
Harrison Butker picked up right where he left off last week, going 3-3 on extra points. The Chiefs topped the Dolphins 21-14 on Sunday, taking part in the second ever NFL game in Germany as part of the NFL International Series in 2023.
