The Dolphins released quarterback Tim Boyle on Friday, the team announced. It’s an indication that quarterback Skylar Thompson (ribs) is healthy enough to backup Tyler Huntley on Sunday.

Texans wide receiver Stefon Diggs downplayed his reunion with the Bills this week by saying that he is going to “block out the noise” and just try “to go 1-0″ on Sunday. One of Diggs’ fellow wideouts thinks there’s a bit more to it than that. During an appearance with

On Thursday, the NCAA imposed an eight-year “show cause” order on Raiders coach Antonio Pierce, for rules violations while he was at Arizona State. On Friday, Pierce was asked about it by reporters.

Pro Football Hall of Famer Billy Shaw died Friday at his home in Toccoa, Georgia, his family announced. Billy’s wife, Patsy, and their three daughters were at his bedside. The cause of death was hyponatremia, a condition where the level of sodium in the blood is abnormally low. Shaw was

Thursday night’s overtime thriller between the Bucs and the Falcons generated big numbers, as regular-season streaming goes. The Amazon Prime broadcast of the Week 5 Thursday night game attracted an audience of 12.3 million, on average. That’s five percent more than last year’s Bears-Commanders game in Week 5, and 27

On Sunday in San Francisco (Santa Clara), record heat for early October is expected. With a projected high of 95, the 49ers wanted to switch from their standard red home jerseys to white. The league declined the request. “We asked on Monday, and we weren’t allowed to do it,” coach

The Saints signed center Connor McGovern off the Jets’ practice squad, the team announced Friday. New Orleans needed an emergency addition with its offensive line banged up heading into Monday night’s game against the Chiefs. Starting center Erik McCoy is on injured reserve with a groin injury, and right guard

Maulet, who has knee and hamstring injuries, was limited in practice on Wednesday before missing practice the last two days. He has been ruled out for Sunday’s

The Giants are unlikely to have their starting running back for Sunday’s matchup with the Giants. Singletary (groin) is listed as doubtful for Week 5 after he didn’t practice Wednesday or Thursday and was limited on Friday. Via Jordan Raanan of ESPN, Singletary had said that he “feels better” and

Davante Adams’s last win as a Raiders happened in Baltimore. He might be interested in returning. Adams has posted on his Instagram story a photo of Edgar Allen Poe. Poe is a Baltimore native whose works included The Raven. Which is why the local NFL is named the Ravens. There’s

It’s inevitable that the Raiders will trade receiver Davante Adams. So what will they get for him? Per a source with knowledge of the situation, they want a second-round pick. (Not a package that includes a second-round pick; a second-round pick.) We’ve heard unconfirmed (for now) chatter that the Jets

If the Colts are going to win in Jacksonville for the first time since 2014, they’re going to have to do it without running back Jonathan Taylor. Via multiple reporters, head coach Shane Steichen ruled Taylor out for the Week 5 matchup against the Jaguars during his Friday press conference.

Quarterback Joe Burrow said this week that the Bengals need to beat the Ravens and he’ll have the help of defensive end Trey Hendrickson in that effort. Hendrickson was forced out of last Sunday’s win over the Panthers with a stinger, but he has been able to practice all of

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
