Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee (ankle) and running back T.J. Yeldon (illness) are questionable for the Wild-Card matchup with the Bills this weekend.

Devin Funchess Questionable For Wild-Card Weekend

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Devin Funchess (shoulder) is listed as questionable for the Wild-Card game against the Saints this weekend.

Jets Open To Trading Up For Quarterback

New York Jets general manager Mike Maccagnan said the team would be open to trading up in the 2018 NFL draft if they fall in love with a quarterback prospect and don't think he'll be available when they pick sixth overall. In his three years with Gang Green, Maccagnan has yet to trade up in […]

Broncos Hire Mike Sullivan, Curtis Modkins

The Denver Broncos hired Mike Sullivan as their new quarterbacks coach and Curtis Modkins as their new running backs coach.

Marty Mornhingweg Staying In Baltimore

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg will return for the 2018 season. The Ravens passing offense was horrendous under Mornhinweg and quarterback Joe Flacco in 2017, but the running game thrived behind Alex Collins, and the Ravens surprisingly were ranked ninth in the league in total points. Mornhinweg's offensive scheme […]

Julius Peppers Undecided On Future

Carolina Panthers defensive end Julius Peppers has not decided if he will return in 2018 for another season. His current focus is on the Saints in the Wild-Card round this weekend.

The Miami Dolphins are naming Dowell Loggains as their new offensive coordinator, according to a source. Former offensive coordinator Clyde Christensen will likely remain with the team and then transition to another role. Loggains previously worked with head coach Adam Gase in Chicago, so they have some history together. With Gase likely to continue calling […]

Jordan Taylor To Have Hip Surgery

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jordan Taylor (hip) will undergo only one hip surgery this offseason. It's unknown what his timetable for recovery will be, but hip surgeries are usually pretty serious, so he could miss most of offseason workouts. Taylor took on a bigger role as a receiver and punt returner late in the year, […]

Giants To Interview Jim Schwartz This Weekend

The New York Giants will interview Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz for their head coaching job this weekend, according to sources.

Giants Request To Interview Pat Shurmur

The New York Giants have requested to interview Vikings offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur for their head coaching vacancy, according to a source.

Paul Guenther To Interview With Raiders

Former Cincinnati Bengals defensive coordinator Paul Guenther will interview for the Oakland Raiders defensive coordinator position, according to Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis. The Raiders have yet to name a head coach, but the speculation is that it will be ESPN analyst Jon Gruden. If the Raiders don't land him, the Bengals would love to […]

Bears Interview Vic Fangio For Head Coaching Job

The Chicago Bears interviewed defensive coordinator Vic Fangio for their head coaching position Wednesday.

Aqib Talib A Candidate For Release?

Denver Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib said he'd love to finish out his career with the Broncos, and he thinks the team is a quarterback away from being a top-five team in the NFL again. He said "there's a chance" he could return for his fifth season with the Broncos, but there is also a chance […]

Devonta Freeman, Tevin Coleman Limited Wednesday

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (knee) and wide receiver Taylor Gabriel (hamstring) were both limited in practice Wednesday. Freeman didn't practice Tuesday, so this is an upgrade.

Jadeveon Clowney To Have Another Knee Scope

Houston Texans outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney (knee) will undergo arthroscopic knee surgery for the second straight offseason that will keep him out of the Pro Bowl again, according to a league source not authorized to speak publicly.

Ryan Tannehill Expected To Be Starter In 2018

Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase said he sees quarterback Ryan Tannehill (knee) "as our starting quarterback" for the 2018 season. This was expected all along, which is why the Dolphins signed Jay Cutler to a one-year deal when Tannehill blew his knee out in the preseason. Tannehill saw his numbers decline in terms of […]

Devin Funchess Not Practicing

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Devin Funchess (shoulder) is not practicing Wednesday. Funchess has been hampered by his shoulder injury to close out the year, but it hasn't kept him off the field, so the Panthers are likely just letting him rest ahead of the Wild-Card game against the Saints this weekend. In two games against […]

Mike Gillislee Not At Practice Wednesday

New England Patriots running back Mike Gillislee (knee) was not seen at practice Wednesday. After filling in in Week 16 and scoring a touchdown, Gillislee was surprisingly inactive in the regular season finale. With Rex Burkhead (knee) expected back for the Divisional Round following a first-round bye, it's likely that Gillislee will once again be […]

Rex Burkhead Returns To Practice

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (knee) was back at practice Wednesday after missing the final two games of the regular season. Burkhead was allowed to rest up to end the regular season, and he'll have another week to do so with the Patriots on a first-round bye in the Wild-Card round. Burkhead may […]

Bears Request To Interview George Edwards

The Chicago Bears have requested to interview Vikings defensive coordinator George Edwards for their head coaching position, according to a source.

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.

The Chicago Bears have requested to interview Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy for their head coaching position, according to sources.

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.

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.

Albert Wilson Sitting Out Tuesday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Albert Wilson (hamstring) is sitting out of practice Tuesday with a sore hamstring.

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. […]
