The Las Vegas Raiders requested permission to interview Baltimore Ravens head coach Todd Monken for their head-coaching job, according to a source. Given his success with quarterback Lamar Jackson each of the last two seasons, it's no surprise that Monken has become one of the hottest head-coaching candidates in the NFL this cycle. The Raiders […]
The Jacksonville Jaguars requested an interview with Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores for their head-coach job, the Jaguars announced on Wednesday. Flores has been the D coordinator in Minnesota each of the last two years, and his aggressive coaching style has really turned the unit around as the Vikings won 14 games in 2024. […]

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch said on Wednesday that the team plans to designate defensive tackle Javon Hargrave (triceps) as a post-June 1 cut for salary-cap purposes.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie wide receiver Jalen McMillan (finger) is listed on this week's injury report with a finger injury but was able to give it a full-go in practice on Wednesday.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Lavonte David (knee) logged a limited session to kick off the week ahead of Sunday's matchup with the visiting Washington Commanders.

Pittsburgh Steelers placekicker Chris Boswell (illness) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice.
