Jerseys 2019 , making it the second straight he has missed after suffering
a knee injury last week.That would seem to indicate Amendola is a long shot to
be ready to go for Sunday’s game against the Bills. The Dolphins will announce
Amendola’s status on Friday, but missing two practices in a row with a knee
injury is never a good sign.The 33-year-old Amendola has had plenty of injury
issues in the past, but this year he’s started all 11 games and is the Dolphins’
leading receiver, with 48 catches for 469 yards this season. The Dolphins also
recently put wide receiver Jakeem Grant on injured reserve, and the wide
receiver they called up from the practice squad to replace
Grant
White John
Brown Jerseys , Isaiah Ford, may be pressed into duty this week with the
Dolphins finding themselves thin at the position. On the surface, it appears
that the NFL has been dragging its feet regarding the allegation from Delicia
Cordon that Bills running back LeSean McCoy instigated the brutal attack on her
that happened during a home invasion in July. However, the league apparently has
no choice at this point but to wait.Per a source with knowledge of the
situation, the league has decided to defer to local
authorities
John
Brown Jerseys 2019 , who continue to investigate the situation. The league
would act only after McCoy is formally charged, or after the official
investigation concludes with no action taken against him.That’s consistent with
what the league has done in past cases. For example, the 2016-17 investigation
regarding Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott began after local authorities
cleared him. Also, the 2014 investigation regarding former Ravens running back
Ray Rice began after the criminal proceedings had resolved.So if the NFL hasn’t
interviewed Cordon (and indeed it hasn’t), it’s because the NFL is trying to
avoid interfering with the active criminal investigation. That’s consistent with
the language of the Personal Conduct Policy: “Whenever the league office becomes
aware of a possible violation of the Personal Conduct
Policy
White Cole
Beasley Jerseys , it will undertake an investigation, the timing and scope
of which will be based upon the particular circumstances of the matter. Any such
investigation may be conducted by NFL Security, independent parties, or by a
combination of the two. In cases that are also being investigated by law
enforcement, the league will
work to cooperate with and to avoid any
conflict or interference with the law enforcement proceedings.” (Emphasis
added.)Local law enforcement officials sounded off on
Friday
Cole Beasley
Jerseys 2019 , following Cordon’s press conference. “[W]e have encountered
numerous obstacles by all involved, and it has hindered our work not assisted,”
the Milton, Georgia Police Department said in a statement. “Detectives have been
stonewalled or provided conflicting accounts of what occurred on July 10 . . .
the home belonging to Mr. LeSean McCoy.” Authorities also said that McCoy “may
have had personal items stolen from the home during the July 10, 2018 home
invasion
White
Robert Foster Jerseys ,” but that he “has not been cooperative in the
investigation, despite requests by Milton Police detectives to Mr. McCoy’s
attorneys.”The fact that McCoy isn’t cooperating in an investigation regarding
an invasion and robbery of a house he owns does little to bolster the notion
that he was a victim and not a perpetrator. But that’s just part of what the
local authorities currently is trying to figure out.Whenever the investigation
results in charges or an official closing of the case, the NFL presumably will
initiate its investigation engine. And at that point McCoy will have to
cooperate, or face very real consequences to his ongoing NFL employment.
