Good Chance Jon Gruden Becomes Next Raiders Coach

Current ESPN analyst Jon Gruden said there is a "good chance" that he'll become the next head coach of the Oakland Raiders, something that has been expected since the team fired Jack Del Rio. Gruden also said there is "not truth ... at all" that he'll receive a piece of ownership in his deal with […]

Bears Request To Interview Matt Nagy

The Chicago Bears have requested to interview Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy for their head coaching position, according to sources. Nagy has also been requested for a head coaching interview with the Colts. With the Chiefs playing in the Wild-Card round this weekend, Nagy may have to wait to interview for new jobs. […]

Will Middlebrooks Likely To Sign With Phillies

Free-agent third baseman Will Middlebrooks is likely to sign a minor league deal with the Philadelphia Phillies. Middlebrooks played in only 22 games in the majors for the Rangers last year and hit just .211 with no home runs and three RBI in 38 at-bats. Since hitting a career-high 17 dingers in 2013 with the […]

Trevor Siemian To Have Another Shoulder Surgery

Denver Broncos quarterback Trevor Siemian (shoulder) will undergo surgery on his left shoulder Wednesday, and it will be performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache. Siemian also had offseason surgery on his non-throwing shoulder last year, but the two injuries are unrelated, and this new surgery is to fix a damaged posterior capsule. Siemian's 2017 was much […]

Albert Wilson Sitting Out Tuesday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Albert Wilson (hamstring) is sitting out of practice Tuesday with a sore hamstring. He had by far his best game of the season in a meaningless Week 17 against the Broncos in which the Chiefs also rested quarterback Alex Smith, running back Kareem Hunt, receiver Tyreek Hill and tight end […]

Charcandrick West Back To Full Practice

Kansas City Chiefs running back Charcandrick West (illness), who missed the Week 17 game, is practicing in full Tuesday. The Chiefs likely held West out in a meaningless game against the Broncos, and it looks like he's back on track to return as Kareem Hunt's backup for the Wild-Card round this weekend against the Titans. […]

Will Fuller To Have Offseason Knee Surgery

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller (knee) will undergo minor knee surgery in the offseason, and he'll be full go in a few weeks. Fuller ends his second season in the NFL with 26 catches for 406 yards and a career-high seven touchdowns. Injuries have limited him to just 24 games in his first two […]

Seahawks Would Welcome Jimmy Graham Back

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said the team would love to re-sign Jimmy Graham in the offseason. While Graham did have his most touchdowns (10) since his final season with New Orleans in 2014, he also posted a career-low 9.1 yards per catch and 520 total yards, his fewest since his rookie year in […]

DeMarco Murray Not Practicing Tuesday

Tennessee Titans running back DeMarco Murray (knee) is not practicing Tuesday. After sitting out Week 17 with a torn ligament in his knee, it's highly unlikely Murray would have much of a role in the Wild-Card game against the Chiefs this weekend, if he's even active at all. We would expect the Titans to ride […]

Taylor Gabriel, Levine Toilolo Limited Tuesday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Taylor Gabriel (hamstring) and tight end Levine Toilolo (knee) both did not practice Tuesday. Gabriel had a disappointing season as Atlanta's offense took a step backwards with Steve Sarkisian as the offensive coordinator. Gabriel totaled just 33 catches for 378 yards and one touchdown this year after going for 579 yards […]

Julio Jones, Devonta Freeman Not Practicing Tuesday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (ankle, ribs) and running back Devonta Freeman (knee) were both held out of practice Tuesday. It's likely that the Falcons are just resting their top two offensive players ahead of the Wild-Card matchup with the Rams this weekend. Jones has been fighting nagging injuries lately, as usual, but he's […]

Pete Carroll Sticking Around In Seattle

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said he isn't going anywhere for the 2018 season. Carroll is getting a little long in the tooth, but he will at least coach the team for one more season. Seattle's biggest problem in 2017 was their lack of an offensive line to protect superstar quarterback Russell Wilson. The […]

Richard Sherman To Undergo Clean-Up Procedure

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman (Achilles) will undergo a clean-up procedure on his other ankle/heel in the offseason, according to head coach Pete Carroll. The recovery period will be around four to six weeks, and bone spurs will also be cleaned out during the operation. This has nothing to do with Sherman's ruptured Achilles, but […]

Chiefs Put Akeem Hunt On Injured Reserve

The Kansas City Chiefs placed running back Akeem Hunt (ankle) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday. Hunt was injured in the Week 17 regular season finale against the Broncos. With Charcandrick West (illness) being inactive in Week 17 and questionable for the Wild-Card round against Tennessee, the Chiefs re-signed C.J. Spiller to strengthen the depth behind […]

Bill Musgrave To Remain As Offensive Coordinator

Denver Broncos head coach Vance Joseph said offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave will return full time in 2018. Musgrave started off the 2017 as the quarterbacks coach but was promoted to offensive coordinator when Mike McCoy was fired midway through the season. Musgrave is a talented offensive mind and was responsible for Derek Carr's breakout in […]

No Trades Imminent For Marlins

The Miami Marlins are continuing to speak with other teams on potential trades for outfielder Christian Yelich and catcher J.T. Realmuto, but a source said there is "nothing imminent." After new ownership traded away outfielders Giancarlo Stanton and Marcell Ozuna and second baseman Dee Gordon, they may not be done yet. However, in order to […]

Jimmy Nelson Happy With Progress

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jimmy Nelson (shoulder) said he's happy with the progress he's making in his rehab. “The progress has been impressive and I’m pretty proud of how far I’ve come already," Nelson said. The right-hander was having a very successful year before suffering his shoulder injury in September, and he finished with a […]

Cliff Avril, Kam Chancellor May Never Play Again

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Cliff Avril (neck) and strong safety Kam Chancellor (neck) "are going to have a hard time playing football again," head coach Pete Carroll said. The final decision on whether to keep playing will be up to both players, but it's another tough blow for the Legion of Boom that saw their […]

Chiefs Re-Sign C.J. Spiller

The Kansas City Chiefs re-signed running back C.J. Spiller on Tuesday, according to sources. Spiller has all of two rushes for the Chiefs in 2017, and that came back on Oct. 19 against the Raiders. With both backups Charcandrick West (illness) and Akeem Hunt (ankle, shoulder) dinged up, Spiller could have to serve as Kareem […]

Sam Bradford Returning To Practice Tuesday

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford (knee) will return to practice Tuesday. Bradford last played on Sept. 11 before being put on Injured Reserve. The Vikes now have several weeks to decide whether they want to add Bradford to the roster over backup Teddy Bridgewater for the team's playoff run. There's zero chance Bradford is making […]

Deshaun Watson Ahead Of Schedule In Rehab

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson (knee) has a chance at participating in organized team activities (OTAs) because he's ahead of schedule in his rehab, according to head coach Bill O'Brien. That's great news on Watson's progress from a torn ACL. Even if he doesn't take part in OTAs, Watson is fully expected to be ready […]
