George Kittle, Fred Warner remain out of practice, uncertain for Sunday

If Davante Adams goes to Jets, is Garrett Wilson the odd man out?
One of the strangest aspects of a potential Jets trade for receiver Davante Adams comes from the collection of receivers the Jets already have. The top three players at the position are Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard, and Mike Williams. So if Adams is in, who’s out? Allen Lazard won’t be;


Chris Boswell named AFC special teams player of the month

The Broncos were able to beat the Jets last Sunday despite quarterback Bo Nix going 12-of-25 for 60 yards, but all involved know that’s not a sustainable way to win games in the NFL. Nix’s performance was impacted by ugly weather in New Jersey for much of the game. Head

Raiders might end up paying some of Davante Adams’s salary to facilitate trade
With Raiders receiver Davante Adams due to make $983,333 in salary each week plus $30,000 for each game in which he’s on the active roster, his remaining compensation could create a cap issue for a team that trades for him. Moreover, the new team might believe the balance due is


Sean McDermott: “Somebody needs to step up” in Von Miller’s absence

Jordan Love (knee) remains limited in practice
Packers quarterback Jordan Love returned from an MCL sprain, only 23 days after it happened. He arguably shouldn’t have. Love didn’t seem to be 100 percent against the Vikings.
