Jalen Ramsey is apparently trying to test the limitations of the human body. The Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Ramsey revealed to reporters on Tuesday that he suffered a broken wrist in Week 3 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Even wilder though is that Ramsey said he will be trying to play through

The Titans lost two guards in Sunday’s loss to the Giants, and both are now headed for multi-game absences.

Guard Garrett Dellinger and running back Michael Carter were promoted from the practice squad to

The Minnesota Vikings had only two quarterbacks on the 53-man roster after they traded JJ McCarthy to the New York Giants on Monday.  On Tuesday, the Vikings fixed that by moving Max Brosmer from the practice squad to the active roster. That means Brosmer can dress as the emergency QB

Odell Beckham Jr. earned a roster spot upon returning to the Giants. His second chapter with the team has proven to be short-lived, however. Beckham is being released, as first reported by NFL insider Jordan Schultz. This was a mutual decision, he adds. Beckham’s workload had been sparse despite the fact

One of the biggest plays of Monday night’s game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Chicago Bears involved Eagles backup quarterback Andy Dalton throwing a brutal drive-killing interception on 3rd-and-goal from the Chicago 2-yard line when Philadelphia was trailing 7-0 with under 6:20 left in the contest’s first half.  Dalton was on

McCarthy is being dealt from the Vikings to the Giants, as first reported by The Ringer’s Tom Pelissero. Minnesota will receive a 2027 fifth-round pick in return. This

Justin Herbert has struggled for the Los Angeles Chargers. There’s no doubt about it. The Chargers started the 2026 NFL season as seemingly everyone’s favorite dark-horse candidate to win the Super Bowl. They’re now 0-3 after losing to the Arizona Cardinals, Las Vegas Raiders, and Buffalo Bills. Bringing in Mike

Jonathan Greenard is set to make his Eagles debut tonight. After missing the first two games of the season as he recovered from a pectoral injury, Greenard will be active for tonight’s matchup against the Bears, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost more than just a game when they fell to 0-3 on the season via a 23-16 defeat against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, as Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield went down with a dislocated thumb on his throwing hand late in the contest.  While Tampa Bay avoided a potential

Recently named as a team to watch as a possible landing spot for Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr., the Lions have inquired on his availability, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The Cowboys, who were speculatively connected to a possible Porter pursuit, are also among the clubs to make an inquiry. Possibly

It is time to take a look at some of the biggest winners and losers from Sunday’s NFL action. It was a big day for one backup quarterback (Marcus Mariota of the Washington Commanders), and a really bad day for a couple of young quarterbacks whose play is not matching

By Ely Allen | at September 27, 2026 9:25 pm Before the start of the season, the Rams needed some work to get down below the salary cap. In order to reduce the team’s cap hit for the year, Los Angeles restructured the contract of starting safety Quentin Lake, according

The Washington Commanders entered their Week 3 matchup against the reigning Super Bowl Champion Seattle Seahawks with all the odds stacked against them. Washington was without  star quarterback Jayden Daniels along with key players in Frankie Luvu, Nick Cross, Sam Cosmi and Chig Okonkwo. The absence of all those players

SEPTEMBER 27: Good news for Buffalo, as both Moore and Coleman are active for Week 3. SEPTEMBER 26: The Bills’ offense hummed along during a 2-0 start, but the unit may go without a couple of key receivers in Week 3. D.J. Moore (shoulder) and Keon Coleman (ankle), who are

Chicago Bears fans feared the worst last Sunday when Caleb Williams was screaming in pain on the field. He was carted off, and it seemed like his season could be over. Instead, he ended up only having a hamstring strain. That meant it was possible he was going to suit

With the Giants in position to add a quarterback, many have labeled Jimmy Garoppolo a candidate to be brought into the fold. The veteran passer is open to a deal for 2026. “I’m ready to play, in the right situation,” Garoppolo said when speaking to The Exhibit’s Josina Anderson. The 34-year-old remained

A season that was once so full of hope for the New York Giants has now become a guessing game. Quarterback Jaxson Dart hurt his knee on “Monday Night Football” vs. the Los Angeles Rams, and while the initial reporting was encouraging, the injury turned out to be one that

The Cowboys continue to deal with attrition in the secondary. As part of the gameday moves for tomorrow’s Brazilian showdown with the Ravens, Dallas announced the placement of safety P.J. Locke on injured reserve. Taking Locke’s spot on the 53-man roster will be linebacker Justin Barron, whom the Cowboys are

Members of the San Francisco 49ers were flying high after the club began the season with impressive back-to-back wins.  However, it appears that the 49ers received a tough break ahead of their home game versus the 1-1 Arizona Cardinals this coming Sunday.  How long could 49ers be without Nick Bosa? 

The past several days have seen Jayden Daniels and the Commanders receive a number of opinions with surgery being considered. This year’s elbow dislocation is not expected to lead to a procedure, however. “He met with doctors all over the country,” general manager Adam Peters said during an appearance on 106.7 The Fan Friday morning. “We

Jaxson Dart’s season is over, and the New York Giants are scanning the veteran market for another quarterback. One of the names gaining traction is Jimmy Garoppolo, a two-time Super Bowl winner who has started just one game since 2023. Dart tore the MCL and PCL and damaged the meniscus

Jon Gruden has seen enough of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive struggles. The former NFL head coach isn’t blaming Aaron Rodgers, either. He’s furious with the players around him, particularly after watching the 42-year-old quarterback absorb a massive hit against the New England Patriots. During the latest Gruden Family Football Show, Gruden tore

The Colts elected to retain head coach Shane Steichen and general manager Chris Ballard for 2026. The latter is notably on an expiring contract, however. Ballard said in July he would not be working out an extension in advance of the current season. The longtime executive is in a lame-duck situation as a result,
