The Cardinals are set to get tight end Trey McBride back in the lineup. McBride missed last Sunday’s loss to the Commanders, but he moved up to full practice participation on Thursday and head coach Jonathan Gannon told reporters at Friday’s press conference that he has been fully cleared from

The Bills will be without a few key players as they play the Texans on Sunday. Via multiple reporters, head coach Sean McDermott said in his weekly interview with WGR 550 that defensive tackle Ed Oliver, receiver Khalil Shakir, defensive tackle Austin Johnson, and safety Taylor Rapp have all been

When listing the best rivalries in football, we usually look at teams in the same division. Teams that play each other twice per year, like Packers-Bears and 49ers-Seahawks. But one of the best rivalries in football involves teams that are guaranteed to face off only once every four years: Cowboys-Steelers.

Given the reports out of Las Vegas over the last few days, it was a safe bet that Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers would be asked about Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams at his Friday press conference. Adams has reportedly asked for a trade away from the Raiders and there have

The Jets will not have right tackle Morgan Moses in the lineup on Sunday, but they don’t expect to be missing any other offensive linemen. The availability of those linemen became a question on Thursday when right guard Alijah Vera-Tucker was added to the injury report. Vera-Tucker was listed as

Entering the season, the goal for Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice was to have a strong second year, establish himself as a clear No. 1 receiver, and delay the consequences for his street-racing incident until 2025. Now that he has suffered a knee injury that apparently (but not definitely) will end

The Steelers trailed at halftime in two of their first three games before coming back to win, but that approach didn’t work out for them last Sunday. They spotted the Colts a 17-3 lead in the first 30 minutes and that meant outscoring them 21-10 in the second half wasn’t

After a drink landed on Bengals running back Chase Brown at the end of last Sunday’s win over the Panthers, the NFL and the NFL Players Association said they would be looking into what happened. On Thursday, the NFL announced their findings. If a fan had been seen on video

Georgia quarterback Carson BeckJeffrey Vest/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images 1. QB Carson Beck, Georgia Concerns simmered under the surface after Carson Beck’s performance against the Kentucky Wildcats. His start against the Alabama Crimson Tide didn’t help matters at all. At best, Beck is a facilitator while working from a clean

The Texans added a few players to their already lengthy injury report on Thursday, as the club prepares to play the Bills this weekend. Offensive tackle Tytus Howard (hamstring) popped up as a limited participant. Receiver Robert Woods (foot) and offensive tackle Blake Fisher (illness) each did not practice. As

Six days ago, the Falcons were 1-2 and behind both the Saints and Buccaneers in the NFC South. Plenty has changed since then. After beating the Saints and Bucs in back-to-back games on Sunday and Thursday, the Falcons are now 3-2, in first place in the division, and with head-to-head

Browns tight end David Njoku hasn’t played since the season opener when he injured his ankle. The Browns were encouraged when he returned to limited work Wednesday. Njoku, though, did not practice Thursday. The Browns could use Njoku, who had four receptions for 44 yards against the Cowboys in Week

In the Falcons’ Week One loss to the Steelers, Kirk Cousins looked immobile and hesitant, and it raised questions about whether he had fully recovered from the Achilles injury that ended his 2023 season. There are no questions after Cousins’ performance on Thursday night. Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said

The Falcons drafted defensive lineman Ruke Orhorhoro in the second round this spring. He will make his debut on Thursday Night Football. The team made Orhorhoro a healthy scratch the first four games of the season. Defensive lineman Kentavius Street was the odd player out Thursday, with the Falcons making

The Falcons’ Ring of Honor keeps adding new members. Only 11 days after the team’s in-house award apparatus welcomed team owner Arthur Blank (I still don’t know whether he called himself with the news), former Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan gets the honor. He’ll be inducted at halftime of Thursday night’s

The Falcons have had three drives. They went 70, 42 and 75 yards, with two touchdowns and a missed field goal. Kirk Cousins is 12-of-15 for 176 yards and two touchdowns. He threw an 18-yard touchdown to Drake London on the first drive, and the second touchdown was thrown on

Chris Berman started working at ESPN on October 1, 1979. Forty-five years later, he’s still going. Will he make it to a half of a century? Berman tells John Ourand of Puck that he’s willing to chase 50 years, if he’s still performing at a high level. “If they’ll have

He’s still not driving the ball with his back leg the way he used to. On Thursday night, it didn’t matter. Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins, in his fifth game after returning from a torn Achilles that ended his 2023 season, set a career high and a franchise record with 509

Thursday night’s thriller in Atlanta comes with a small asterisk. The Buccaneers were robbed of a chance to close the deal in regulation by an obvious miss of a facemask foul late in the fourth quarter. It happened with 1:39 to play, and with Tampa Bay leading, 30-27. After the

Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images After an offseason filled with more than a little hype, the Atlanta Falcons faced more than a little pressure in Week 5. The Falcons had played in four one-possession games to open the season. But they had also lost two of three at home. A loss

The Falcons stole another one against a division rival, the second time in four days they have come back from the dead to win in the waning seconds. After beating the Saints on a field goal with two seconds left Sunday, Kirk Cousins passed for 509 yards and four touchdowns

The Falcons looked liked they were going to be denied a touchdown again in the red zone. It’s a recurring theme. Atlanta, though, went for it on fourth-and-four from the Tampa Bay 12, quick snapping the ball and seeing Kirk Cousins throw a 12-yard strike to Darnell Mooney. It has

Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins passed for 253 yards in the first half, but the Buccaneers lead 24-17 and get the second half kickoff. The Bucs scored on all four possessions, not counting a one-play kneel down to end the half, with Mike Evans catching two touchdown passes. Evans now has

49ers linebacker Fred Warner and tight end George Kittle remained out of practice Thursday. That does not bode well for their availability for Sunday’s game against the Cardinals. Coach Kyle Shanahan, on his weekly radio show on KNBR, sounded uncertain about both players’ status. “Neither practiced today,” Shanahan said, via

The Falcons scored their first offensive touchdown in their past 17 drives, taking the opening kickoff and marching 70 yards on seven plays. Kirk Cousins was 3-for-4 for 65 yards and a touchdown. He got all his weapons involved. Running back Bijan Robinson ran three times for 5 yards, and

Receiver Mike Evans scored his 98th career touchdown on the Buccaneers’ first drive Thursday night. Perhaps none has been easier. The Falcons appeared confused defensively, with cornerback A.J. Terrell losing him. Baker Mayfield found Evans wide open for a 2-yard score to tie the Falcons 7-7. It was Evans’ 12th
