NFL Notes: Josh Brown, 49ers, Broncos, Chiefs & Patriots

Josh Brown

  • Adam Schefter reports that Giants K Josh Brown is not expected to appeal the NFLโ€™s decision to place him on Commissionerโ€™s Exempt List.

49ers

49ers HC Chip Kelly mentioned that he has no plans to make changes to his defensive coaching staff, despite some poor performances.

โ€œNo, we spend time together during the week,โ€ Kelly said, via Niners Wire. โ€œWe carve out time in terms of how we watch film and what we do and understand the plan as weโ€™re moving forward. Thereโ€™s good communication going on form that standpoint. Itโ€™s not like I donโ€™t know whatโ€™s going on on the defensive side of the ball.โ€

Broncos

  • Jon Grudem of ESPN believes the Broncos should at least consider in the idea of a making a short-term move and possibly trading for Tony Romo or Jay Cutler.

Chiefs

Chiefs HC Andy Reid explained that theyโ€™re trying to be careful with RB Jamaal Charles, especially after his knee flared up a bit this past week.

โ€œThings were going OK, so I kind of let it ride there,โ€ Chiefs coach Andy Reid said, via Blair Kerkhoff of the Kansas City Star. โ€œHis knee puffed up a little this week, and Iโ€™m trying to be as careful as we can with him, . . . and with him in my ear wanting to play.โ€

Patriots

  • Following Sundayโ€™s game, Patriots K Stephen Gostkowski said of his play: โ€œRight now, I stink.โ€ (Mike Reiss)
  • However, Patriots HC Bill Belichick offered some support for Gostkowski, despite his struggles: โ€œNobody works harder than Steve does. He is a very talented player. He is mentally tough. Weโ€™ll work through it. Again, this is a tough place to kick. Not making any excuses; those are kicks that I know he expressed (how he feels) but the kicker on the other side of the field had trouble too. This is a tough โ€ฆ but we gotta make them.โ€
