Cornerback L’Jarius Sneed is going to miss another game for the Titans. Titans head coach Brian Callahan said at a Wednesday press conference that Sneed is going to miss Sunday’s game against the Texans. It will be the sixth straight game that Sneed has missed with a quad injury. Sneed’s

The Steelers never planned to have edge rusher Alex Highsmith for Thursday night’s game against the Browns and they officially ruled him out on Wednesday. Highsmith did not practice at all this week because of an ankle injury that also kept him from playing in last Sunday’s win over the

Help is on the way for Indianapolis’ defensive front. Via multiple reporters, Colts head coach Shane Steichen said on Wednesday that the club is opening the 21-day practice window for veteran defensive lineman Tyquan Lewis. Lewis has been sidelined since injuring his elbow in the Week 4 victory over the

The Cowboys will get two players back on the practice field Wednesday. The team announced that wide receiver Brandin Cooks and defensive end Marshawn Kneeland have been designated for return from injured reserve.

With the dysfunction beginning at

Until Sunday, no player in NFL history had multiple games with at least 400 passing yards, four passing touchdowns, and a perfect 158.3 passer rating. But now Jared Goff has done it. Goff finished Sunday’s win over the Jaguars with 412 passing yards, four touchdowns and a 158.3 passer rating.

The 2024 head coaching cycle saw three coaches get their second opportunities to run NFL clubs and the results have been good for Jim Harbaugh, Raheem Morris, and Dan Quinn thus far. The Chargers, Falcons, and Commanders are 20-12 combined and all three would be in the playoffs if the

Sunday’s Chiefs-Bills game drew the NFL’s biggest audience so far of the 2024 regular season. The CBS broadcast drew 31.2 million viewers, according to Sports Business Journal. Outside Thanksgiving and Christmas games, that was the biggest audience the NFL has had for a regular-season game since a 2007 matchup between

Bengals cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt was benched on Sunday night, the second time this season he has taken a seat. In Week 4, defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo cited sloppy technique and unnecessary risk taking by Taylor-Britt. On Sunday, Taylor-Britt’s inexplicable mistakes were responsible for the Chargers’ first two touchdowns. “Things that

Before benching Daniel Jones, the Giants had three quarterbacks on the depth chart. Now, they have four. The addition of Tim Boyle to the practice squad invites fair speculation regarding the plans for Jones over the balance of the season. If he won’t be playing in order to avoid $23

With Colorado thriving in 2024 and coach Deion Sanders being linked to other jobs (on Friday, former Cowboys teammate Michael Irvin made clear his intention to pitch Deion to Jerry Jones), Sanders was asked about the situation at a press conference on Tuesday. The initial question mentioned college and pro

Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy said Tuesday he is not giving up play-calling duties to offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer. “Haven’t considered that,” McCarthy said, via Ed Werder of WFAA. “Don’t think like that.” The Cowboys rank 20th in total offense and tied for 24th in scoring a year after ranking fifth

It looks like Sean Payton got the last laugh. More than a year after Payton criticized the hype surrounding the Jets and body-slammed offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett in comments to Jarrett Bell of USA Today, a loss by the Jets to Payton’s Broncos sparked a report, emerging on the same

Myles Garrett is miffed that T.J. Watt was miffed about the Browns edge rusher winning defensive player of the year in 2023 over Watt. The Steelers edge rusher, who didn’t attend NFL Honors, wrote on social media “nothing I’m not used to” when the award went to Garrett in February.

The Cardinals designated first-round draft pick Darius Robinson to return from injured reserve on Oct. 9. He practiced once in a limited fashion before his mother died. On Monday, with the Cardinals coming off their off week, the defensive lineman returned to practice for the first time in six weeks.

On the last play of the Seahawks-49ers game, a catch that became not a catch kept those who bet the over on Deebo Samuels’s receptions prop from cashing in. A reader sent the game footage and the NFL’s official explanation of the play. Referee Brad Rodgers explained that an offensive

Free agent safety Adrian Colbert is re-signing with the Bears, Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports. It is unknown whether Colbert is signing to the team’s active roster or the practice squad. The Bears also worked out safeties Johnathan Abram, Terrell Edmunds, Jason Taylor and Tracy Walker with Jaquan Brisker

Monday night’s lopsided game between the Texans and Cowboys nevertheless lit up the ratings. According to ESPN, the ABC/ESPN/ESPN2 multicast racked up an audience of 17 million viewers, on average. The Texans won the game, 34-10. The placement of the game on ABC surely pumped up the numbers. Still, given

The Giants signed Tim Boyle to their practice squad, but they worked out another quarterback Tuesday. Free agent Alex McGough went through a tryout with the team, Eric Edholm of NFL Media reports. The Giants have named Tommy DeVito as the starter, benching Daniel Jones, who likely has played his

Six weeks to the day after the Jets fired coach Robert Saleh, owner Woody Johnson fired G.M. Joe Douglas. Why now? It seems to be, on the surface, a do-something/do-anything move by Johnson. A wild swing at a piñata that might or might not even be hanging nearby. A pound

Since the owner said he has no desire to see Trey Lance start a game this season, it was a given that Cooper Rush would retain his starting job. Coach Mike McCarthy made it official Tuesday, announcing during his media availability that Rush will start Sunday at Washington. McCarthy added

Former Patriots cornerback Marco Wilson is on to Cincinnati. Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that the Bengals have claimed Wilson off of waivers. The Patriots cut Wilson on Monday in order to make room for cornerback Alex Austin’s return from injured reserve. Wilson played 206 defensive snaps in 10

Lions defensive back Ifeatu Melifonwu is back on injured reserve. The Lions activated Melifonwu on Monday, but head coach Dan Campbell indicated it would be a brief stint on the 53-man roster. Melifonwu was designated to return from an ankle injury, but suffered a finger injury while making his way

Miami QB Cam WardRich von Biberstein/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images With Rodgers set to be a part of the Jets’ past, it’s time to target a new quarterback of the future in the 2025 draft. Things didn’t work out with Zach Wilson or with Sam Darnold before him. However, those

After coaching against Patriots quarterback Drake Maye on Sunday, Rams head coach Sean McVay came away impressed. “He looks like a stud,” McVay said, via Mike Reiss of ESPN. “I didn’t do too much work on him coming out [of college]. I do know a lot of people that studied

As currently written (if they’ve even been reduced to writing), the so-called (by me) Brady Broadcast Rules might be more of a favor than a hindrance to Brady. That might change. Ben Fischer of Sports Business Journal reports that the rules could be expanding. The impetus apparently was Tom Brady’s

Jets owner Woody Johnson has issued a statement confirming the news of Joe Douglas’ firing and in it, named Phil Savage interim General Manager. “Today, I informed Joe Douglas he will no longer serve as the General Manager of the New York Jets,” Johnson said. “I want to thank Joe

With the coach fired six weeks ago today, Jets owner Woody Johnson had to find someone else to fire during the bye week. And he did. (Unfortunately for Jets fans, he didn’t fire himself.) G.M. Joe Douglas is out, per multiple reports. Douglas joins coach Robert Saleh as former Jets

Monday night’s game essentially ended after Cowboys offensive lineman Tyler Guyton tried to do his best Tony Dorsett impression. And failed. Guyton had no business attempting to run with the ball after recovering a tumble. It was obvious the moment he got the thing in his hands. He was promptly

Safety Terrell Edmunds has played for a couple of teams this season and his quest for a third will take him to Chicago. Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Edmunds will work out for the Bears. If he should sign there, he will get a chance to be teammates

Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix turned in his best performance of the season on Sunday, piloting Denver to a 38-6 victory over Atlanta. Head coach Sean Payton said in his Monday press conference that the team is excited about the way Nix has grown and developed week after week, which

Bryce Young is set to make his fourth straight start at quarterback when the Panthers face the Chiefs this weekend and the team expects to have rookie running back Jonathon Brooks in the lineup with him for the first time. They also hope wide receiver Adam Thielen will be available

That was Brock Osweiler as a free agent in 2016, after he shined in limited action behind Peyton Manning with the 2015 Broncos and became a hot commodity for the desperate Texans to win via sweepstakes. At the time, like Garoppolo, he had just seven career regular-season starts on his

49ers running back Christian McCaffrey was more critical of his play against the Seahawks after Sunday’s loss than head coach Kyle Shanahan was when he discussed McCaffrey’s play on Monday. McCaffrey ran 17 times for 79 yards and caught four passes for 27 yards in the 20-17 49ers loss and

WWE/Getty Images Bronson Reed evened the score with Seth Rollins in the main event of Monday’s Raw, though not without a massive assist from Solo Sikoa. Late in the match, Rollins appeared to be en route to a second consecutive victory over his opponent when Sikoa appeared on the announce

The Cowboys were still within striking distance of the Texans early in the fourth quarter on Monday night when the Texans defense made a play that swung things into blowout territory. Defensive end Derek Barnett swooped in to strip Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush of the ball on a sack and

The Cowboys had a promising start to this season and were 3-2 after Week Five, but they’re now on a five-game losing streak, and coach Mike McCarthy acknowledged after Monday night’s loss to the Texans that he’s disappointed with where his team is. “It’s very frustrating. It’s frustrating for everybody.

Rams receiver Puka Nacua made an awesome, diving touchdown reception in New England on Sunday. After he landed, he was slow to get up — and he ended up in the medical tent. He ultimately was fine, but Nacua’s habit of going all out all the time prompted a question

The sky began falling on the Cowboys before Monday night. But the large piece of metal that fell onto the field as officials opened the roof of AT&T Stadium before pregame warmups was a metaphor for the Cowboys’ season. The Cowboys lost again at home, their sixth consecutive including a

Another prime-time game, another key coaching decision potentially changes everything. The Cowboys, down by 10, got a 64-yard field goal from Brandon Aubrey to make it a one-score game with 4:16 to play in the third quarter. A head-slap foul by Texans defensive lineman Derek Barnett forced Dallas coach Mike

Mike McCarthy is a dead-man walking. That seemed like a given before the season when Jerry Jones decided not to extend his head coach’s contract. The Cowboys assuredly will move on from McCarthy, and most of the rest of the coaching staff, after this season. But they will not change

The Cowboys decided to open the roof to AT&T Stadium days before Monday night’s game against the Texans. What they hadn’t factored in was the cold front that blew through Arlington on Monday morning. The area saw wind gusts of 20 mph Monday afternoon and stronger earlier in the day.

The Texans let the Cowboys hang around far longer than they should have, but Derek Barnett and Jalen Pitre finally put them to bed. Barnett beat left tackle Tyler Guyton for a strip-sack of Cooper Rush. Guyton picked up the fumble, and Pitre stripped Guyton of the ball. Barnett picked

The Cowboys didn’t have many weapons before the game started. They have one fewer now. The Cowboys have ruled out tight end Jake Ferguson with a concussion. Ferguson had one catch for 11 yards before departing in the first half. He is their third-leading receiver, behind CeeDee Lamb and Jalen

It took the Texans 2:18 to score. That was something. Houston actually scored 16 seconds into the game, on its first play from scrimmage, but left tackle Laremy Tunsil was downfield before the pass from C.J. Stroud to Nico Collins that went for a 77-yard touchdown. It didn’t matter in

49ers quarterback Brock Purdy injured his shoulder in the 20-17 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday. Coach Kyle Shanahan told beat reporters that Purdy is day-to-day with shoulder soreness. The 49ers will release their first practice report Wednesday. Purdy rushed for 40 yards and a diving touchdown on five carries,

Hours before kickoff of tonight’s Texans-Cowboys game at AT&T Stadium, a piece of debris fell from the roof onto the playing field. Fox 4 in Dallas describes the debris as “a large piece of metal,” which fell as the roof was being opened at the Cowboys’ home field. No one

Veteran cornerback Jamel Dean (hamstring) had his 21-day practice window opened Monday. In the meantime, the Bucs signed cornerback Troy Hill to their active roster, the team announced. The move comes 19 days after Hill signed with the Bucs’ practice squad. The Bucs waived safety Kaevon Merriweather in a corresponding
