Zay Jones Played Through Torn Labrum

Buffalo Bills rookie wide receiver Zay Jones' (shoulder) father, Robert, said his son played with a torn labrum in his shoulder for most of the season. It may help explain why Jones struggled to find consistency in his first season in the NFL. He saw more snaps (792) than any other receiver on the team […]

LeGarrette Blount Scores a Touchdown on Saturday

Philadelphia Eagles running back LeGarrette Blount scored a touchdown on Saturday in the victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Aside from his score, Blount didn't do much else, ending up running the ball nine times for 19 yards. Like his backfield mate Jay Ajayi, Blount also fumbled in the first quarter. The Eagles will likely set […]

Jay Ajayi Makes Up For a Rough Start on Saturday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jay Ajayi started off Saturday's game by fumbling away his first handoff. He made up for it, though, ending up running the ball 15 times for 54 yards and catching three passes for 44 yards. Ajayi was expected to be the focal point of the Eagles offense, but there was certainly […]

Marcus Mariota Suffered Sprained Quad

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota (quadriceps) suffered a strained quadriceps in the first quarter of the Divisional Round loss to the Patriots on Saturday, according to head coach Mike Mularkey. Mariota's injury forced the team to alter their offensive game plan, and it likely played a part in Mariota being sacked eight times. Mariota's scrambling […]

Chris Ivory, Jaydon Mickens Inactive

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Ivory and wide receiver Jaydon Mickens (hamstring) are both inactive for the Divisional Round game against the Steelers. Ivory is a healthy scratch, meaning T.J. Yeldon will serve as the main backup to rookie Leonard Fournette. With Fournette seeing most of the work in the backfield, Yeldon isn't much of […]

Nick Foles Leads the Eagles Over the Falcons

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles led his team to a victory over the Atlanta Falcons by completing 23 of 30 passes for 246 yards without a touchdown or an interception. It wasn't a statistically impressive outing by Foles, but he did his job and led his team into next week's NFC Championship Game. Foles and […]

Antonio Brown Active Against Jaguars

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown (calf) is active for the Divisional Round game against the Jaguars on Sunday. Despite being active, Brown will not be 100 percent and may be used as a decoy against Jacksonville's league-best secondary. As a result, he'll be a risky DFS pick, although he could still blow up against […]

Antonio Brown Participated In Saturday Walkthrough

In a bit of good news, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown (illness, calf) was present and participated in a team walkthrough on Saturday morning. Brown has been sidelined for the past three weeks with a calf injury and came down with an illness which held him out of Friday's practice session. According to Brown's […]

Rex Burkhead, Mike Gillislee Inactive

New England Patriots running backs Rex Burkhead (knee) and Mike Gillislee (knee) are both inactive for the Divisional Round game against the Titans on Saturday. With them out, James White will be the passing back out of the backfield along with Dion Lewis. Lewis is the obvious DFS choice here, but White will be a […]

Tom Cable To Join Jon Gruden's Staff

Former Seattle Seahawks offensive line coach Tom Cable will become the next offensive line coach for the Oakland Raiders under new head coach Jon Gruden. This marriage makes sense because of running back Marshawn Lynch's relationship with Cable from their time together in Seattle. It could also mean that the veteran running back is considering […]

Seahawks Expected To Hire Brian Schottenheimer As Offensive Coordinator

The Seattle Seahawks are expected to hire former Colts quarterbacks coach Brian Schottenheimer as their new offensive coordinator, according to a league source. It's a curious direction for Seattle, a team with an excellent quarterback but a terrible offensive line. Schottenheimer hasn't seen success in the NFL as an offensive mind, and the Seahawks could […]

Bill O'Brien, Brian Gaine Given Five-Year Deals By Texans

The Houston Texans agreed to five-year deals with head coach Bill O'Brien and new general manager Brian Gaine on Saturday, according to a source. With former GM Rick Smith taking an indefinite leave of absence to take care of his sick wife, the Texans held onto O'Brien and added Gaine in the front office. It's […]

Search for Next Colts Head Coach Narrowed Down to Two Candidates

Colts general manager Chris Ballard told the media on Saturday that the door […]

Sam Bradford Activated From Injured Reserve

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford (knee) was activated from Injured Reserve to the 53-man roster Saturday. Tight end Kyle Carter was waived in a corresponding move. With Bradford active, it likely means that Teddy Bridgewater will be inactive on Sunday in the Divisional Round against the Saints, as head coach Mike Zimmer has never dressed […]

James White Expected To Play Against Titans

New England Patriots running back James White (ankle) is expected to face the Titans in the Divisional Round on Saturday, according to a source. With both Rex Burkhead (knee) and Mike Gillislee (knee) expected to be inactive, White could have a significant role behind Dion Lewis on passing downs, especially with the Titans possessing a […]

Rex Burkhead, Mike Gillislee Not Expected To Play

New England Patriots running backs Rex Burkhead (knee) and Mike Gillislee (knee), who are both listed as questionable, are not expected to play in the Divisional Round against the Titans on Saturday, according to sources. That would leave Dion Lewis as the primary workhorse back for the Patriots, with James White the top passing back. […]

Antonio Brown To Be A Game-Time Decision Sunday

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown (calf, illness) is expected to be a game-time decision this Sunday. According to a source, Brown's calf is still an issue despite the All-Pro receiver having three weeks off to rest.

Larry Fitzgerald Not Affected By Retirements of Bruce Arians and Carson Palmer

Jaydon Mickens Questionable, Marcedes Lewis Good To Go

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jaydon Mickens (hamstring) was limited in practice all week and is questionable to face the Steelers on Sunday. Tight end Marcedes Lewis (ankle) practiced in full the last two days and was taken off the final injury report for the Divisional Round. Mickens is the team's fifth receiver with Marqise Lee […]

Kyle Rudolph Not On Final Injury Report

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph (ankle) practiced in full all week and isn't on the final injury report for the Divisional Round against the Saints. It's a great sign that he was a full participant in practice all week, but he's still likely to be less than 100 percent after having extra time to […]

2018 To Be Thomas Davis' Last Season

Carolina Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis said that the 2018 season will be his last year in the NFL. Davis has been one of the best linebackers in the NFL over the last several seasons alongside Luke Kuechly in Carolina, but the veteran will be 35 next year and is already resigned to the fact that […]

Brandon Coleman Ruled Out

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Brandon Coleman (neck) has been ruled out for the Divisional Round against the Vikings. This is a notable development for the Saints offense as they face a stiff Vikings secondary led by cornerback Xavier Rhodes. Receivers Michael Thomas and Willie Snead will have bigger roles with Coleman sidelined, and perhaps […]

Jonathan Cooper Undergoes Knee Surgery

Dallas Cowboys offensive lineman Jonathan Cooper underwent surgery on his knee to repair a sprained MCL. Cooper suffered the injury in the Week 17 game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Updating a previous report, Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford (knee) is expected to be active for the Divisional Round against the Saints, according to a league source.

Redskins Have Offseason Priorities Aside from Kirk Cousins

Beat writer John Keim of ESPN lists running back, left guard and speed at wide receiver as areas that are particularly in need of improvement. With […]

Vic Fangio Agrees To Stay In Chicago

Chicago Bears defensive coordinator Vic Fangio agreed to return for the 2018 season Friday, four days after new head coach Matt Nagy was hired.

Sam Bradford Not Expected To Be Active This Weekend

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford (knee) is not expected to be active for the Divisional Round against the Saints, with Teddy Bridgewater likely serving as Case Keenum's backup.
