Week 2 of the NFL season begins with Thursday Night Football tonight, and that means that it is time for a Thursday edition of NFL Zone Reads.

Here we examine the salary cap implications of John Abrahams potential retirement, as well as the Rams placing Chris Long on injured reserve.

We also reach into the mailbag and answer five of the most common questions asked following Week 1. This includes: Should Green Bay fans be panicking? Can anyone stop Seattle? What the heck happened to New England in the second half?, and more.

Finally, we wrap things up by diving into the coaches tape to break down Tom Brady’s performance against Miami. (Hint: is wasn’t pretty.)

Take a look!
