Bailey Zappe Signed To 53-Man Roster

The Patriots signed quarterback Bailey Zappe back to the 53-man roster. The signal-caller was surprisingly waived on cutdown day but added to the practice squad after clearing waivers. But considering New England is releasing Matt Corral, it appears Zappe is now the permanent backup. The last move also means there's still a chance Zappe could […]

Jack Jones Won't Play In Week 1

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (calf) practiced in full on Thursday. The signal-caller injured his calf during training camp, so he's been slowly working his way back.

Tyler Boyd Logs Full Practice On Thursday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd (toe) practiced in full on Thursday. The veteran wideout did the same on Wednesday, so things look promising concerning his availability for the Week 1 opener in Cleveland.

Jerry Jeudy Progressing But Will Listen To His Body

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (hamstring) practiced in a limited fashion on Thursday. He did the same on Wednesday.

Bengals Defense Hoping To Keep Browns Offense In Check

The Bengals defense had its ups and downs last season. However, despite losing Vonn Bell and Jessie Bates III during the offseason, the team may be more effective in 2023-24.

Joe Mixon Hoping To Turn Things Around In Week 1

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon is coming off a subpar 2022-23 campaign. The former Oklahoma Sooner ran for 1,205 yards and totaled 16 touchdowns in 2021.

Tee Higgins Looking For Strong Start To The Season

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins didn't get the contract extension he sought during the offseason. As a result, he should have plenty of motivation to produce throughout the 2023-24 campaign. The 24-year-old is coming off consecutive 1,000-yard seasons, doing so despite the presence of Ja'Marr Chase and Tyler Boyd. Although Chase is the top […]

Ja'Marr Chase Looking For A Strong Showing Against Cleveland

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase will begin his quest to become the league's top wideout on Sunday versus the AFC North rival Browns.

Qadree Ollison Added To Steelers' Practice Squad

Free-agent running back Qadree Ollison is joining the Steelers' practice squad. The 26-year-old has appeared in 19 games throughout his career.

Luckily, Burns is expected to suit up this season despite coming off ankle […]

Buffalo Signs Shane Buechele To Practice Squad

The Bills added quarterback Shane Buechele to the practice squad. The 25-year-old, who threw for 349 yards and three touchdowns during the preseason, spent the last two seasons in Kansas City after going undrafted in 2021. However, he didn't appear in any regular season contests. Buechele likely won't see the field in Buffalo anytime soon, […]

Kawhi Leonard Expected To Be 100% By Training Camp

According to Clippers head coach Ty Lue, forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) is expected to be 100% by training camp. While Lue shared the same update earlier in the month, many still have their doubts, considering Leonard's constant knee injuries over the years.

Browns Release Jordan Wilkins

The Browns released running back Jordan Wilkins on Sunday. The 29-year-old signed with the Browns only a few weeks ago, so his tenure in Cleveland was short-lived.
