Hayden Hurst Could Have A Career Year

The Athletic's Jay Morrison thinks that Cincinnati Bengals tight end Hayden Hurst could have a career year in his first season with the team in 2022.

Miles Sanders Returns To Practice Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (hamstring) returned to practice on Thursday for the first time in two-plus weeks.
