Jalen Milroe: ‘Mistakes Are Just Stepping Stones to Making Me Stronger!’
In a world where athletes are constantly under pressure to perform flawlessly, Seattle Seahawks' rookie quarterback, Jalen Milroe, has shown that failure doesn’t define him—it fuels his growth. After his costly fumble in the team's tight 38-35 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Milroe is making it clear that setbacks are part of his journey, not the end of it.
"Every time I fail, I never see it as the end," Milroe shared with determination. "Failure is just a part of the journey in conquering my goals. Every mistake I make will only make me stronger, wiser. No one achieves success without going through setbacks. I’m committed to not letting anything stop my growth."
In the face of adversity, Milroe’s mindset is one that sets him apart. While some players might shrink in the wake of a critical error, the young quarterback sees it as an opportunity to learn, grow, and improve. He knows that his mistakes don't define him but instead shape his future. This level of resilience is exactly what the Seahawks need as they look to rebuild and develop for the long term.
Milroe’s perspective mirrors that of many of the game’s greatest players. Athletes like Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, who faced early career struggles, turned their mistakes into the very fuel that propelled them to legendary status. Now, Milroe is poised to follow in their footsteps, proving that growth and success come from overcoming adversity, not avoiding it.
Despite the early struggles in his NFL career, Milroe remains undeterred. His commitment to self-improvement and his refusal to let failure dictate his future make him a promising figure in Seattle's quarterback room. With a mentality that is both humble and hungry, Milroe is set to face whatever challenges come his way head-on.
As he continues to develop under the mentorship of his coaching staff and teammates, Milroe’s growth will be one to watch closely. With every setback, he is growing stronger, more resilient, and more determined to prove that failure is just another step on the road to success.
The Seahawks’ future looks bright with a quarterback who has not only the skills but the mindset to handle whatever the game throws at him.
KaVontae Turpin’s Foot Injury Leaves Cowboys Searching for Offensive Spark in Week 6
The Cowboys and coach Brian Schottenheimer deserve some credit here in 2025 for finally doing something that the team’s fans–and even the front office–have been calling for over the last few years. He’s figured out ways for dynamic kick returner KaVontae Turpin to contribute to the offense as a gadget weapon.
He played 62 offensive snaps as a rookie, 140 in Year 2 and 315 last season, but is on pace to shatter that mark this year, already on the field for 133 snaps–despite missing Week 5 with a foot injury. Turpin has given the Cowboys 11 catches (on 13 targets) for 159 yards as well as 23 yards on six carries out of the backfield.
Alas, the pesky foot injury meant he did not play against the Jets. And it is going to keep him out again in Week 6 against the Panthers–at least, according to Turpin.
KaVontae Turpin Says He’s Still ‘Day to Day’
On the Cowboys team website, it was noted that it will be “at least another week” before Turpin returns.
The site added: “The All-Pro returner and dynamic wide receiver missed the Week 5 contest against the Panthers with a foot injury, and he’s not yet up to full speed as of Wednesday, labeling himself as ‘day to day’ and stating the likelihood is he’ll miss this weekend’s matchup with an eye on returning against the Commanders in Week 6.”
And Joseph Hoyt of the Dallas Morning News wrote on Twitter/X: “Asked #Cowboys WR/KR KaVontae Turpin if a return on Sunday was a possibility. He was honest. He said probably not, but he’s targeting a return for the home game next Sunday against the Washington Commanders. Turpin suffered a foot sprain against GB.”
Turpin has a PFF grade of 75.6, which is 19th out of 125 receivers in the NFL this season.
Cowboys Have 10 Players Limited by Injury in Practice
While the Cowboys have been optimistic about getting players back from their long list of walking wounded heading into Week 6, not everyone figures to be healthy. There were 10 players, including six starters, who were not a full go in practice on Wednesday.
There was, for sure, a positive sign for Turpin: he was no longer in a walking boot for the foot on Wednesday.
“There’s guys moving around better,” Schottenheimer told reporters. “I think as the week goes, there’s a few guys that you might be able to get back. But it’s hit and miss and today is a day you’re probably see more guys on the grass and being on the grass doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re cleared to play.”
