Antonio Brown's Week 17 Absence Wasn't Injury-Related

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown's Week 17 absence against the Bengals had nothing to do with his knee injury, but instead he was inactive because he elected to sit out of practice all last week after an unspecified dispute with a teammate. Brown became disgusted at one of his teammates and threw a football […]

LeSean McCoy To Return In 2019

Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane said that running back LeSean McCoy is in the team's plans for 2019, the final year of his contract. 2018 was the worst season of McCoy's career, as he rushed for just 514 yards (3.2 yards per carry) and three touchdowns on 161 attempts. He also had 34 catches […]

Dan Quinn, Falcons Overhaul Coaching Staff

The Atlanta Falcons fired offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian, defensive coordinator Marquand Manuel and special teams coach Keith Armstrong on Monday, according to sources.

Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks told his staff on Monday that he will no longer be the head coach moving forward, according to sources.

The New Orleans Saints signed tight end Josh Hill to a three-year, $8.85 million extension through the 2021 season on Monday, according to sources.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tajae Sharpe (ankle) and tight end Luke Stocker (knee) are both questionable to return in Week 17 against the Colts on Sunday night after suffering injuries.

Anthony Miller Injured In Week 17, Ruled Out

Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Anthony Miller (shoulder) injured his left shoulder in the Week 17 game against the Vikings and was ruled out for the rest of the game.

Rashaad Penny Active Against Cardinals

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny (knee) is active for Week 17 against the Cardinals.

James Conner Will Play In Week 17

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (ankle) is active for Week 17's must-win game against the Bengals. It'll be Conner's first game in the last three weeks after suffering a high ankle sprain. He practiced in full last week, so he should be able to play a full complement of snaps in a must-win game. […]

Antonio Brown Inactive Against Bengals

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown (knee) is officially inactive for Week 17 against the Bengals. Brown was unable to convince the team in pregame warmups.

Josh Doctson Active Against Eagles

Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson (illness) is active in the Week 17 finale against the Eagles. Even in a great matchup with Philly's soft secondary, Doctson isn't a very attractive WR4/flex with quarterback Josh Johnson under center. Jamison Crowder has become Johnson's favorite target, and Doctson has just three catches for 30 yards in […]

Aaron Rodgers Being Evaluated For Concussion

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (concussion) has left the Week 17 game against the Lions and is being evaluated for a concussion. It's bad news for those that are using Rodgers with something on the line in the regular season finale in a meaningless game. He was already more of a weak QB1 going […]
