Lamar Jackson is back on the field. Per Jeff Zrebiec of TheAthletic.com, the Ravens’ quarterback has returned to practice on Monday. Jackson had exited a session last week after his foot was stepped on and then was held out of the next practice. But head coach John Harbaugh had said

The Saints have announced a wave of cuts ahead of Tuesday’s deadline to set a 53-man roster. Running back Cam Akers is the most prominent name among the 14 cuts. The veteran signed with the team in June, but was released on Monday. Akers ran eight times for 16 yards

As we delve deeper into the NFL season, injuries have undoubtedly taken the spotlight, particularly for teams vying for glory as the playoffs approach. The "red zone" — the critical area of the field where scoring opportunities arise — is heavily influenced by player health. This week, several notable injuries

Among the decisions the Texans have to make before setting their initial 53-man roster on Tuesday is whether to activate running back Joe Mixon from the non-football injury list. On Monday, head coach DeMeco Ryans said that there was no news to share on that front. Mixon has been out

Yes, all hold-ins must come to an end. At some point. In Washington, it ended with receiver Terry McLaurin signing a new four-year contract (a three-year extension) that will pay him “up to” $32 million per year. As usual, the structure will say plenty — from signing bonus to the

During the draft, a question emerged regarding whether quarterback Shedeur Sanders could, and whether he should, try to return to college for another season. Now, as the regular season looms, another Browns draft pick faces the same question — at least in theory. With the Browns not signing running back

Last season the Broncos were a surprise playoff team while the Titans earned the first overall pick in the draft, and so it’s no surprise that when they meet in Week One, the Broncos are heavy favorites. The Broncos are favored by 7.5 over the Titans, which makes Denver the

The situation between the Cowboys and linebacker Micah Parsons is getting ugly. It could still get even uglier. Dallas faces the Eagles in only 10 days. Parsons has yet to practice during training camp, citing a back problem. Owner and G.M. Jerry Jones has dismissed his “hurt back” (and Micah’s

The Lions’ unofficial depth chart still shows Hendon Hooker as the backup to Jared Goff, even though it has become increasingly obvious that Hooker is not long for Detroit. The real question is whether the Lions fully trust Kyle Allen to be the backup to Jared Goff. Hooker has struggled

We’re less than two weeks away from the start of the 2025 season and one NFL team has not announced their quarterback plan for Week 1 yet. The Saints wrapped up the preseason on Saturday without making a decision about who will start against the Cardinals. Spencer Rattler started two

The 49ers have been short on healthy wide receivers all summer and the Chiefs didn’t have much space in their offense for wide receiver Skyy Moore, so it made sense that the two teams found common ground on a trade earlier this month. Moore and a 2027 seventh-round pick went

Bills running back Frank Gore Jr. has never played in a regular-season game, but his preseason performance suggests he’s capable of making plays if given the chance. A strong preseason helped Gore make the Bills’ practice squad as an undrafted rookie last year, and Gore turned in an even better

The Patriots’ 2024 draft class has taken another hit. Guard Layden Robinson, whom the Patriots selected with their fourth-round pick last year, was waived-injured. That means once he passes through waivers, he’ll revert to the Patriots’ injured reserve list. He may later leave the team with an injury settlement, but

As the fantasy football season heats up, every manager is hunting for that hidden gem who can propel their team to championship glory. While high-profile players often steal the spotlight, it’s the under-the-radar sleepers who can make all the difference. This season, a roster of red-zone threats is emerging, offering

Kansas City is bringing back a familiar face. Per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, the Jets are trading defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi to the Chiefs. New York and Kansas City are swapping conditional 2027 sixth and seventh-round picks to complete the deal. Nnadi, 29, had been with the Chiefs for his

The Patriots’ 2024 draft brought them their starting quarterback. It didn’t bring much else. As noted by Mike Reiss of ESPN, quarterback Drake Maye might be the only Patriots draft pick from 2024 to make their 2025 53-man roster. Second-round pick Ja’Lynn Polk is expected to go on injured reserve

The Bills began the process of cutting their roster to 53 players. They announced Sunday the release of six players, and they also waived wide receiver Grant DuBose with an injury designation. DuBose injured a shoulder in Wednesday’s training camp practice, forcing him to miss Saturday’s preseason finale. He will

Shilo and Shedeur Sanders could be teammates again. In theory. It would happen north of the border. The Toronto Argonauts, which acquired the CFL’s negotiating rights to Shedeur months ago, also have the negotiating rights to Shilo. The Argos made the move on Sunday, via 3downnation.com. It works on a

The Raiders need some help at backup quarterback. With Aidan O’Connell going down with a wrist fracture that could keep him out for the season’s first couple of months, head coach Pete Carroll told reporters on Sunday that the club is going to add a signal-caller. “All possibilities are available

The Bears officially ended the season of cornerback Terell Smith on Sunday, announcing they have placed him on injured reserve. Smith tore the patellar tendon in his left knee in a preseason game against the Bills. He played 26 games with two starts the past two seasons, seeing action on

The Rams released veteran inside linebacker Tony Fields II on Sunday in 11 moves they made in advance of Tuesday’s 53-player roster deadline. Fields originally joined the Rams in October, signing with their practice squad. He did not see any regular-season game action but signed a futures contract after the

The Eagles acquired one quarterback on Sunday and have now let go of another. Philadelphia announced that the team has waived Dorian Thompson-Robinson. Thompson-Robinson, 25, was acquired via trade in March from the Browns as part of the Kenny Pickett deal. He completed 10-of-16 passes for 73 yards with an
