The Browns are signing free agent wide receiver Jimmy Horn, according to insider Jordan Schultz. Horn will join the Browns’ practice squad, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports. The Panthers waived Horn on Tuesday after he committed a special teams error during their Week 1 loss to the

While it was surprising that it took the Detroit Lions overtime to defeat the New Orleans Saints in Week 1, there was no surprise in the performance from running back Jahmyr Gibbs.  In his first season as the true bell cow back, Gibbs carried the ball 29 times for 156

The Saints got an unfortunate surprise today when it discovered that veteran long snapper Zach Wood would miss significant time after being diagnosed with a calf strain, per ESPN’s Katherine Terrell. As he recovers, the 33-year-old specialist is set to miss his first game in 10 years of NFL play.

Derrick Henry showed in the Baltimore Ravens Week 1 blowout win over the Indianapolis Colts that he still has the ability to take over a game, even as he plays at an age when most running backs are either dramatically slowing down or are out of the NFL entirely.  His

With third-string quarterback Cooper Rush at the helm, the Falcons’ offense sputtered during a 20-13 loss to the Steelers in Week 1. While Rush may start against the Panthers on Sunday, head coach Kevin Stefanski is not closing the door on Tua Tagovailoa or Michael Penix Jr. taking the reins. “We

An NFL storyline nobody saw coming at the start of the week involves the fact that individuals within the Denver Broncos were apparently at least somewhat interested in having New Orleans Saints legend Drew Brees come out of retirement to play for the Broncos in this year’s AFC Championship Game.  Denver starting quarterback Bo Nix suffered a

The Steelers placed cornerback Joey Porter Jr. on the active/PUP list after he suffered a back injury at the start of training camp in late July. Porter didn’t return to practice until Sept. 1, giving him limited time to ramp up for the Steelers’ regular-season opener last Sunday. As a

The NFL returned with a bang, delivering a Week 1 slate full of surprises and big performances. As we try to make sense of all that went down and look ahead to Week 2, here is what you should know around the league and what is on tap in the week ahead.

SEPTEMBER 15: After receiving additional opinions on his injured wrist, Lane will undergo surgery. The procedure will take place this week, according to CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz, who points to an absence of around a month. This will likely lead Lane to IR. The Ravens have used two of their

The Philadelphia Eagles had to pull some strings to move up in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft and get Makai Lemon. The rookie out of USC was one of the biggest offseason stories, but not for the best reasons. Injuries and underwhelming performances raised big doubts about

11:20pm: Speaking with reporters on Monday, Monken said he “anticipates” that Watson will start against the Buccaneers this week (via Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN). 9:06am: Deshaun Watson and the Browns struggled mightily on Sunday. Cleveland’s Week 1 contest was a 34-10 loss to the Jaguars, and Watson’s performance left plenty

Drew Brees is an NFL Hall of Famer. He’s already put on the gold jacket, and his bust is in Canton. He was part of the Pro Football Hall of Fame class of 2026 alongside legends like Roger Craig, Larry Fitzgerald, Luke Kuechly and Adam Vinatieri. Brees last played in

Before turning to Jarrett Stidham in the AFC title game, the Broncos considered a future Hall of Fame quarterback to lead the way. As ESPN’s Adam Schefter writes, Broncos then-offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi and offensive assistant Pete Carmichael talked with Drew Brees about about a comeback in the AFC Championship

Joe Burrow throwing an interception won’t make anyone in Cincinnati panic. Four pick-sixes since the start of last season, though? That’s at least enough to ask the question. Zac Taylor was asked about that number at a news conference on Monday, one day after Burrow added another in the Bengals’ season opener. The Cincinnati

SEPTEMBER 14: Kraft’s deal includes base salaries of $1.5MM for 2027 and ’28, per ESPN’s Rob Demovsky. Those seasons contain roster bonuses worth $4.43MM due on the third day of their respective league years, though. Kraft can earn up to $950K in per-game active roster bonuses throughout the deal, which also

The start of the NFL season is one of the most wonderful times of the year. Well, usually. But not so for everyone on Sunday. Below, we look at five lowlights from Week 1, including the worst loss, quarterback performance and more. The Chargers opened as an 11.5-point favorite, the

10:20pm: Further pointing towards the possibility of a trade, Dulac relayed from team sources today that the “Steelers are done talking” about a contract extension with Porter “and will not have further discussions about a new deal.” Usually proclamations like that are temporary as the two parties opt to push

The Cleveland Browns didn’t get off to the best start to the Todd Monken era. Deshaun Watson struggled all day in a 34-10 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars that was even more lopsided than the final score suggests. Watson got things going early by throwing a pick on his team’s opening

Sam Darnold exited the Seahawks’ Week 1 game early and did not return. It remains unclear exactly how long Seattle’s No. 1 quarterback will be sidelined, but an update on the nature of his injury has emerged. Initially described as having a hip ailment, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport clarifies Darnold actually

The Atlanta Falcons named Tua Tagovailoa the Week 1 starting quarterback last Monday. Fast forward a few days and he was ruled out with an injury suffered in practice, making Cooper Rush the new starter. Tagovailoa struggled throughout the summer, and Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski notably waited until the

The matter of a Lamar Jackson extension has been a talking point throughout the Ravens’ offseason. Efforts to work out another big-money deal were made, but at no point did it seem as though an agreement was imminent. Jackson will not have an extension in hand for tomorrow’s Week 1 game, as

One of the surprise teams in the NFL last season was the Jacksonville Jaguars. In their first season with head coach Liam Coen, the Jaguars posted a 13-4 record, winning the AFC South and hosting a home playoff game. A focal point of the Jacksonville offense headed into the 2026

The Atlanta Falcons are having a shocking start to the 2026 season before even playing a game. Specifically, the quarterback position is already in a state of disarray. Michael Penix Jr. remains out as he continues to recover from an ACL injury. That led to Tua Tagovailoa to be named

Cornerback Joey Porter Jr. was reportedly the Steelers’ No. 1 extension priority in April, but he remains without a new contract five months later. Meanwhile, teammates and fellow 2023 draftees Keeanu Benton, Darnell Washington and Nick Herbig all received big-money extensions in recent months. As a rule, the Steelers do

Happy 37th birthday to four-time Pro Bowler, 2018 Comeback Player of the Year and 2012 NFL first-overall draft pick, Andrew Luck! After a legendary college career at Stanford, Luck was seen as perhaps the most sure quarterback prospect since Peyton Manning. Appropriately, he was selected with the top pick in
