All reports suggest that Smith-Njigba has had […]

DK Metcalf Likely To Draw Patrick Surtain Shadow In Week 1

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf has a tall task ahead of him against the Denver Broncos in Week 1. The Broncos have one of the NFL's best young cornerbacks, Patrick Surtain II.

Player and coach movement shakes up the landscape of the NFL every season. Sometimes this movement decreases opportunities for some players and increases it for others.

Simultaneously, […]

Amarius Mims Back On Practice Field

Cincinnati Bengals rookie offensive lineman Amarius Mims (pectoral) returned to practice on Monday. The Bengals' O-line has struggled in recent years, which led to Mims being drafted 18th overall in 2024. Mims is not currently listed as a starter, but he should be an important rotational piece. The Bengals still have the No. 21 PFF-ranked […]
