From time to time, the NFL’s current structure has created unfair results, with the best of four bad teams assigned to a predetermined division earning a playoff berth and the home game that goes along with it. This year, the NFC has two very strong divisions, one so-so division, and one very weak division. Here’s […]

The Detroit Lions got a victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, but the win took a backseat to a sad moment on the field. Lions linebacker Jack Campbell suffered a neck injury during the game and was taken to a nearby hospital for evaluation and treatment. After the game, the Lions issued an official statement […]

Jake Paul is pretty confident ahead of his bout with former kickboxing champion Cédric Doumbé. So confident, in fact, that he’s claiming he’ll retire if he loses. “If he wins, I will hang up the gloves and call it a day,” the social-media personality said in a video on his YouTube channel (h/t Brett Okamoto […]

The Raiders’ decision to shut down Maxx Crosby last season, as the team angled for the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s draft, rankled the decorated edge rusher. Crosby pushed for a trade, making a quiet request early this offseason. You’ve probably heard how that all went down. Months later, Crosby is back anchoring […]

The Commanders have placed defensive lineman Daron Payne, defensive lineman Javon Kinlaw and running back Jeremy McNichols on injured reserve, the team announced Tuesday. Payne will miss the rest of the season with a season-ending foot injury. Kinlaw will need extended rehab to heal a lingering knee injury. McNichols has a mid-foot injury. Kinlaw and […]

Long before John Harbaugh became the head coach of the New York Giants this past winter, he held that role with the Baltimore Ravens from 2008 through the 2025 season. Thus, Harbaugh is quite familiar with a Ravens side that presumably could become a seller before the NFL trade deadline arrives at 4 p.m. ET on Nov. […]

Cardinals rookie quarterback Carson Beck has earned a promotion. While Beck won’t be starting this week, the quarterback shuffle stemming from Gardner Minshew’s performance in Sunday’s win over the Cowboys has elevated Beck from No. 3 to No. 2 on the team’s depth chart. Former starter Jacoby Brissett is now the No. 3 behind Beck, […]

Monday brought about news that DaVon Hamilton suffered a torn quad in Week 8. The veteran Jaguars defensive tackle is facing a lengthy recovery as a result. To no surprise, Jaguars head coach Liam Coen confirmed (via ESPN’s Michael DiRocco) Hamilton is out for the remainder of the season. The pending free agent’s absence will be felt along the […]

The Bengals are set to be without rookie defensive end Cashius Howell in the coming weeks. Head coach Zac Taylor said at a Monday press conference that Howell had wrist surgery after being injured in Sunday’s overtime win over the Titans. Taylor did not specify a timeline for the second-round pick’s return, but the Bengals […]

Jeffery Simmons paid immediate dividends for the Chicago Bears after they traded two first-round picks for the All-Pro defensive tackle.  Simmons had six tackles, two tackles for loss, one sack, one pass defended, one quarterback hit and two pressures as Chicago won 34-17 at the Seattle Seahawks. Seattle was able to slow Simmons in the […]

When it comes to injuries, the Ravens have far bigger issues than having a healthy kicker. Still, their kicker isn’t healthy. Coach Jesse Minter told reporters on Monday that Tyler Loop has “been dealing with something,” and that he could “potentially may go on IR.” If he has been dealing with something, the Ravens haven’t […]

The Ravens will be without Lamar Jackson for the time being. A thumb injury suffered on his first snap back in action will require surgery and a stint on injured reserve. Baltimore has veteran Tyler Huntley in the fold, but he was also injured during yesterday’s loss in Buffalo. Huntley is believed to be dealing with turf toe, ESPN’s […]

The Bears had an almost perfect drive to open Monday Night Football. After the Bears forced the Seahawks to go three-and-out, Michael Dickson had a punt downed inside the 5-yard line only to have Rodney Thomas inexplicably slide into the ball and into the end zone for a touchback. The Bears then went 80 yards […]

The Baltimore Ravens are dealing with a nightmare scenario, even with a 4-4 record. Lamar Jackson returned to the field Sunday, only to suffer a likely season-ending thumb injury on his first throw. His entire tenure in Baltimore may be over as well. For now, the team needs to focus on replacing Jackson and staying […]

Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray said he was dealing with hamstring tightness late in Sunday’s loss to the Lions and his hamstring remains an issue on Monday. Murray did not leave Sunday’s game, but head coach Kevin O’Connell told reporters at a press conference that the quarterback is dealing with soreness. Murray will be fully evaluated […]

Persona non grata with the 49ers for over a year, Brandon Aiyuk has off the radar since the start of the season. A strange effort to influence a move to the Commanders hit a speedbump — one Aiyuk created — this summer, and even with San Francisco reeling at wide receiver, the disgruntled 49er is […]

The Buccaneers shut out the Falcons in Sunday’s win, but their defense lost a starter to injury on the way to victory. Linebacker Yaya Diaby left the game with a knee injury. Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Diaby is believed to have a sprained MCL and he is set to have an MRI […]

Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward delivered the best performance of his career Sunday, even if another former No. 1 overall pick stole the spotlight. Joe Burrow’s historic day powered the Cincinnati Bengals to a 43-36 overtime win, but the loss shouldn’t overshadow the encouraging step forward for Tennessee’s young quarterback. The former Miami QB threw […]

Luka Dončić has been cooking to start the 2026-27 season. The Toronto Raptors were just the latest team to get barbecued. The Los Angeles Lakers’ superstar put up a 45-point, 15-rebound double-double in his team’s 131-125 win over the Raptors on Sunday night. Here’s a look at the game’s top performers: Dončić was plus-27 on […]

11:20pm: Prior to the start of today’s Colts-Jaguars game, CBS Sports’ Aditi Kinkhabwala reported (video link) Indianapolis is still not actively pursuing a trade at this point. Nothing is guaranteed with respect to Taylor’s future ahead of the deadline, but the possibility of his Colts career continuing will be something to watch closely. 10:01am: Colts running […]

The Commanders have gotten back in the win column. While Philadelphia took a 10-0 lead in the first quarter, it was all Washington from then on, with the club coming away with a 27-10 victory on Sunday night. With Tanner McKee starting his third game in place of Jalen Hurts, Washington’s defense thoroughly outplayed Philadelphia’s […]

The Seattle Seahawks offense hasn’t been incredibly consistent seven games into their Super Bowl title defense, but some help is on the way ahead of their “Monday Night Football” matchup against the Chicago Bears. Running back Zach Charbonnet is set to  make his 2026 debut , while rookie Jadarian Price also carries no injury designation and […]

Drew Mestemaker is emerging as potentially the best quarterback prospect in the draft class. The Oklahoma State quarterback is second in the FBS in passing yards with 2,649 and tied for second in the FBS in touchdown passes with 25. Mestemaker has put up better numbers than most of the other quarterbacks eligible for the […]

The Cowboys held a 14-point lead at one point during the fourth quarter of today’s home game against the Cardinals. They wound up losing in overtime, marking another low point in the 2026 season. After the game, owner/general manager Jerry Jones spoke about his level of frustration with the outcome. Dallas now sits at 3-5 and has […]
