By Sam Robinson | at October 19, 2026 3:07 pm The Patriots continue to see their plans to use offseason receiver acquisitions A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs together fizzle. Just as Brown returned from IR, Doubs is out of the equation. Doubs is now on New England’s IR list, per

Shortly after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers squandered a 16-3 lead en route to suffering a 26-19 overtime loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers that dropped Tampa Bay to 1-5 on Sunday, current Steelers cornerback and former Buccaneers player Jamel Dean told Ira Kaufman of the JoeBucsFan website that the massive turnout

J.J. McCarthy made his Giants debut in Week 5, playing five snaps. Heading into today’s game, head coach John Harbaugh made it clear the trade acquisition could see more playing time moving forward.

The Green Bay Packers continued their defensive tear with a dominant 23-13 win over the Dallas Cowboys on “Sunday Night Football,” allowing 14 points or fewer for a third consecutive game. Here are some takeaways from Sunday’s NFL nightcap. Key takeaway: Packers defense stymies Cowboys offense A lot has been

As the Vikings rest through their Week 6 bye, they sit atop the NFC North standings with an undefeated record. A big reason for their success has been a defensive unit that ranked first in scoring defense and second in yards allowed through the first five weeks of the season.

No wonder the Jacksonville Jaguars traded all those picks to take cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter with pick No. 2 in the 2025 NFL Draft.  After selecting him, the Jaguars said Hunter could change the NFL’s trajectory. We wouldn’t go that far, but it’s safe to say he’s becoming a franchise-altering talent for Jacksonville.   Travis

Back in June, Browns general manager Andrew Berry said he would not rule out a new deal for quarterback Deshaun Watson, who is now in the final season of his infamous five-year contract with Cleveland. At the time, Watson was still battling second-year pro Shedeur Sanders for the Browns’ starting

Daron Payne received the franchise tag in 2023 before signing a long-term Commanders extension. The veteran defensive tackle has spent his entire career in Washington, but that may change soon.

The Cincinnati Bengals are on their Week 6 bye. They’re coming off a 31-24 win over the Miami Dolphins, so they have a reason to smile heading into the break. Now, the Bengals are 3-2 for the season. It’s critical that they pull off a win over the Baltimore Ravens

By Ely Allen | at October 17, 2026 1:07 pm As the Panthers prepare to visit a depleted Eagles team, they are getting the additional benefit of returning a few key reinforcements. According to ESPN’s Mike Kaye, Carolina has activated right tackle Taylor Moton and running Trevor Etienne on offense

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has received a significant update regarding his status with the NFL.  Jacobs has been on the NFL’s Commissioner Exempt list since Aug. 30, while the league initiated an investigation under the Personal Conduct Policy following Jacobs ‘ arrest in May. Josh Jacobs is being removed from the Commissioner’s Exempt

The Seahawks had an advantage over the Broncos in terms of yards and time of possession (among other categories) during yesterday’s game. The defending Super Bowl champions wound up losing in overtime, though. Turnovers were the primary culprit. Seattle lost a fumble while quarterback Sam Darnold was intercepted twice (late in the

The Seattle Seahawks are standing behind Sam Darnold despite his recent struggles, but head coach Mike Macdonald’s decision to keep the quarterback as the starter puts the spotlight on a bigger question: Can Seattle fix an offense that has become increasingly vulnerable to costly mistakes? Macdonald made it clear Friday

Terrion Arnold, Jonathon Cooper and Josh Jacobs each began the 2026 season on the commissioner’s exempt list. Cooper has now been removed, while the same will soon be true in Jacobs’ case.

The Philadelphia Eagles’ nightmare season continued earlier this week when quarterback Jalen Hurts was diagnosed with a superficial blood clot. He hit the injury report late last week with a calf injury, and now he’ll be out for the foreseeable future as he and the team weigh their options. The

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will not play in Sunday’s game against the Panthers due to a small blood clot in his leg, the team announced on Wednesday. Hurts, 28, was cleated in his calf in Week 4’s loss to the Rams and sought treatment after practice the following Thursday. An

In a sloppy game led by one team most of the night, the Denver Broncos beat the Seattle Seahawks, 17-14, in overtime on “Thursday Night Football.”  After struggling to get anything going through three-plus quarters, the Seahawks did wake up with a touchdown and a successful two-point conversion in the

OCTOBER 15: When asked by The Athletic’s Zach Berman about the team’s stance on its left guard starter, Dickerson simply deferred to Sirianni and Roseman. It will be interesting to see if a return to first-team duties is in store in the short term and if a trade could become

The Jacksonville Jaguars have turned stopping the run into a defining strength of their 2026 season, and their remarkable start could create serious problems for the Houston Texans in Sunday’s AFC South matchup. Through five games, Jacksonville has not allowed a single opposing player to rush for 40 yards in a game. According to

OCTOBER 15: Williams is “likely to return on Sunday barring a setback,” NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said on Thursday morning.

The NFL has seen four quarterbacks fetch multiple first-round picks in a trade since 2000. Jay Cutler (2009), Matthew Stafford (2021), Deshaun Watson (2022) and Russell Wilson (2022) brought that level of return. Were the Chargers to dangle Justin Herbert, he would almost certainly command an offer in this range.

Is one of sports broadcasting’s longest marriages on the rocks?  On Wednesday, Front Office Sports’ Ryan Glasspiegel reported that tension has bubbled up between 25-year boothmates Joe Buck and Troy Aikman over their respective contracts.  Why are things growing tense between Joe Buck and Troy Aikman In September, ESPN reportedly signed Buck

An earlier report revealed that Green Bay Packers star pass-rusher Micah Parsons would not return from the torn ACL he suffered last December to play when the 3-2 Packers host the 2-3 Dallas Cowboys for a prime-time matchup this coming Sunday night.  Back in the summer, Parsons made it known that he wanted

After a strong second half forced overtime against the Lions in Week 1 preceded an upset win in Baltimore, the Saints have lost three straight. They are now 1-4, with the past two losses producing some ugly box scores. The Falcons routed the Saints in a national TV spot, and

Looking to rebound from their first loss of the season to the New England Patriots in Week 4, the Buffalo Bills went on the road to SoFi Stadium to take on the Los Angeles Rams on “Monday Night Football.” If someone just saw quarterback Josh Allen’s final passing line of

Dan Quinn’s name was mentioned in chatter surrounding in-season firings prior to yesterday’s Commanders-Giants tie. His job security has naturally become even more of a talking point given how that game ended. Washington surrendered a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter to set up overtime. In the extra frame, the

In the second quarter of Sunday’s divisional showdown between the San Francisco 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks at Seattle’s Lumen Field, 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw was ejected from the game after he headbutted Seattle linebacker Ernest Jones IV while Greenlaw was wearing a helmet and Jones was not.  On Monday, the NFL

The Pittsburgh Steelers pulled off a big win over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, 34-22, and perhaps nobody looked happier than head coach Mike McCarthy to notch a victory. Almost even more important than the win was that the Steelers offense looked strong and connected. The team’s offense had a

When speaking to the media after their Week 5 win, Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans was asked multiple times about Marvin Harrison Jr. Ryans eventually confirmed the trade for the Cardinals wideout has indeed taken place.
