Jordan Mason made a big impact in the San Francisco 49ers’ (32:19) Monday Night Football win over the New York Jets. However, his subsequent interview could have implications.
Talk is money, silence is gold. That could be a headline for this case.
Monday night football. The beginning of the season. Fans around the world, some of whom are fantasy football players, are eager for the start of the new season. They talk about who is playing, who is not playing and then line up their teams in the game rounds.
Despite this, teams are required to provide the NFL with a game sheet stating which players are out and which are not.
Running back Jordan Mason is very happy with a good start in the San Francisco 49ers’ 32:19 victory over the New York Jets. Almost no one was on their radar. And maybe wrongly! Because Mason gave a killer interview after the game.
NFL teams have commitments
147 yards, one touchdown. Mason beamed. He was probably still a little drunk with victory when it came to the “ESPN” interview. When asked how he prepared for the game and how difficult it is to work spontaneously on demand, he said:
“When did I know I was going to play? Maybe from Friday, Friday night or something. I’m always ready to play.”
The problem: the teams are required to submit an injury report to the NFL in good time before game day. This report should indicate which players are available and which are not. If Mason knew about his starting role on Friday, the 49ers could face a penalty because their report only marked the true starter, Christian McCaffrey, as “doubtful.” “
Of course, teams don’t want to tell too early who can play and who can’t. And if “CMC” is missing, that actually changes a big part of the crime. The Jets could have changed better.
The NFL is launching an investigation
The NFL will investigate the matter. The 49ers had to report by Friday afternoon at 4 p.m. If Mason had known shortly before or after that he was playing safe, he could have penalized him.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan even confronted Mason after the game: “He definitely didn’t know beforehand that he was going to play. He only found out today.”
A statement that seems unbelievable after Mason’s response.
Nevertheless, the Niners could try to explain the incident by saying that they tried to get McCaffrey healthy until the last second and Mason was only given a warning.
However, Mason’s interview did not help his own team.
