How unfortunate Bucs place 450-pound rookie on non-football injury list due to weight issues Bucs place 450-pound rookie on non-football injury list due to weight issues
I think it is a good move for Dez. He isn't being cut, and treating it as a medical issue gets him the support he needs to get back on the field.
Every one on this forum saw this coming (and I'm sure everyone else too). I feel bad for Dez. He seems like a good guy, but his food addiction is going to rob him of a potential career and possibly many years of life if he doesn't get it under control.
Take zepbound. He can afford it, I lost 50lb of fat in 2.5 months pretty easily. You don’t think about food, like at all. It was actually a struggle to eat my daily protein. Get down to a manageable 375 or whatever and drop the dose. I don’t understand how this isn’t a thing that has been solved yet. He is a professional football player, getting paid to play football and to prepare to play football.
Better late than never. It's being addressed now so we can be happy and thankful for that. "It's just about trying to get him better, to be a healthier player and getting him on the field a little more," head coach Todd Bowles told reporters Wednesday. "That's kind of where I'm at right now. He's working at it, and we're working with him. And that's all you can ask right now."
I hope he does something. He has had access to superior medical and athletic guidance. He even had economic incentives. He blew by all of it. He has no time left on the clock. 350 and he makes the team. 450 is just a precursor to him totally losing control over his body..and 600#.
