Bad news for the Philadelphia Eagles, their kicker Caleb Sturgis who made a poor decision on Thursday night’s preseason game against the Steelers. He ended up injured. Meanwhile it appears the 49ers Colin Kaepernick Gets a RG3 style Shutdown!!!

Find out what happening with Caleb Sturgis + Colin Kaepernick…

CelebNSports247.com has another round of Sports Bites for you as Caleb Sturgis suffers a concussion + Colin Kaepernick and has a dead arm.

First, let’s catch you up to speed about Philadelphia Eagles kicker Caleb Sturgis, who warmed up without a helmet for Thursday night’s preseason game against the Steelers. It proved to be a costly decision.

Here is what we just learned via TheBigLead:

An errant punt hit him in the head, resulting in a late scratch due to concussion.

Kickers are people too and concussions are serious so surely no snark will be aimed in Sturgis’ direction.

Missing a preseason game may not seem like a big deal, but Sturgis and Cody Parker are battling for the starting job. The wayward punt and freak injury could end up tipping the scales in Parker’s favor.

Hardly seems fair. We hope from now on Caleb Sturgis makes better choices. Lesson learned the hard way.

On the flip side of things the the questions surrounding the San Francisco 49ers’ QB Colin Kaepernick continues to escalate. Kaepernick returned to practice Wednesday but didn’t appear any closer to providing answers.

We just got word from FOX News that things are NOT looking well for Colin:

Kaepernick, who’s been sidelined with what the team called “arm fatigue”, suited up for Wednesday’s practice and scrimmage with the Denver Broncos, but didn’t take part in any passing drills. GM Trent Baalke addressed the report that Kaepernick has a dead arm and while he refused to make that “assumption,” he didn’t deny it, either.

It’s also looking less likely that Kaepernick will return to the form that earned him a $114 million contract — at least with San Francisco. And the big bucks involved may dictate what happens next — and what’s happened to this point.

Kaepernick scrapped a potential trade to the Broncos earlier this offseason because he refused to take a pay cut, and the 49ers refused to pay $5 million of his $12 million salary, Kawakami reports.

“We couldn’t hand him the starting job. He was going to be in a battle for the starting job,” John Elway told USA Today earlier this week. “We had to protect ourselves if he wasn’t the starter, and that’s where we went and stayed there. He made the decisions, the Niners made the decisions and it ended up where it is right now.”

The 49ers can save $2 million in weekly roster bonues if Kaepernick is not active, Kawakami reports. And his $14.5 million salary for 2017 is guaranteed only if he suffers a serious injury, which the 49ers could prevent by keeping him off the field.

Damn that sucks. It sounds like Colin might want to start looking in to sports new reporting or coaching because his on field days may be over.

Thoughts?
