- ESPN’s Michael Rothstein investigated the TheraGun: a battery-operated massager used by players like Marvin Jones Jr. to loosen muscles and work out knots.
- Bryce Rossler of Detroit Lions Podcast had an excellent Twitter thread on how good A’Shawn Robinson has been playing, specifically against the Saints last week. Here are a couple of interesting highlights:
A'shawn played zone runs so well this game. Denies Peat the cross-face, tracks the ball carrier, and then sheds Peat by torquing him down. pic.twitter.com/K0D8rVOUyP

Solid job of holding the line and leveraging his gap. A'shawn is very mindful of gap integrity, which is great. pic.twitter.com/DWSUYPg0jY

- Browns left tackle Joe Thomas finally saw his unbelievable streak of consecutive snaps broken on Sunday. Thomas suffered a torn tricep and will likely miss the rest of the 2017 season. He had played 10,363 consecutive offensive snaps. The Browns will be without Thomas during their Week 10 game against the Lions.
