The Carolina Panthers plan to keep head coach Matt Rhule around for the 2022 season, and he will begin looking for an offensive coordinator next week, according to sources. The 46-year-old is 10-22 as the head coach of the Panthers heading into the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. […]

Jared Goff, Josh Reynolds Active In Week 18

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff (knee) will play on Sunday against the Packers. The veteran was limited at practice during the week and wasn't sure if he'd be able to suit up for the season finale. Nonetheless, with Green Bay potentially resting some of its starters in Week 18, Goff may have a much clearer […]

Darren Waller Expected To Play Sunday Night

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (knee) is expected to play on Sunday night against the Los Angeles Chargers, according to a source. Waller hasn't played since Thanksgiving and was expected to be a game-time decision for this must-win contest against their division rivals to close out the final week of the regular season. […]

Aaron Jones Won't Play In Season Finale

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (knee) won't play during the season finale versus the Lions. Neither will star linebacker De'Vondre Campbell (elbow), but the Packers offense will have left tackle David Bakhtiari (knee) active for the first time all year. With the Packers having nothing to play for, the veteran will get the […]

Chris Conley Inactive, Chris Moore Active In Week 18

Houston Texans wide receiver Chris Conley (knee) and tight end Jordan Akins (illness) are inactive for the Week 18 regular season finale against the Tennessee Titans. Meanwhile, receiver Chris Moore (illness) is active. Conley will finish the year with just 22 catches for 323 yards and two touchdowns on 37 targets in 16 games played […]

Parris Campbell Active In Week 18

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Parris Campbell (foot), who was activated from Injured Reserve on Saturday, is officially active in Week 18 against the Jacksonville Jaguars to close out the regular season. The Colts will get a big receiving weapon back in a must-win game, but Campbell hasn't played since Week 6, so there's a good […]

David Njoku Active For Season Finale

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (shoulder) is officially active for the Week 18 regular season finale against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday after he was listed as questionable to play. Njoku missed two practices this week, but he returned to the practice field on Friday and will finish out the regular season after catching […]

Antonio Brown Set For Ankle Surgery

Wide receiver Antonio Brown (ankle) will have surgery in a few weeks, although the date could change. The veteran, who the Buccaneers released during the week after an incident with head coach Bruce Arians, reported he has "broken bone fragments, cartilage loss, and a ligament torn from the bone" in his ankle. He's dealt with […]

Kareem Hunt Inactive To Close Out The Season

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt (ankle) is inactive for the Week 18 regular season finale against the Cincinnati Bengals. Hunt had a disappointing season thanks to nine missed games due to injury. Not having his versatile skills out of the backfield behind Nick Chubb really hurt a Browns offense that lacked many big-time playmakers […]

Evan McPherson Inactive For Bengals

Cincinnati Bengals rookie kicker Evan McPherson (groin) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns. You know it's the regular season finale when teams are resting their kickers. The Bengals elevated Elliott Fry from the practice squad to the active roster on Saturday, which was an early sign that McPherson would get Week […]

C.J. Uzomah Playing Against Browns

Cincinnati Bengals tight end C.J. Uzomah (hip, knee) is officially active for Sunday's Week 18 regular season finale against the Cleveland Browns after being questionable on the final injury report. Uzomah will suit up, but it's unclear if he'll actually play a full game with the Bengals resting a lot of their starters, including quarterback […]

Ja'Marr Chase Active, Tee Higgins Inactive

Cincinnati Bengals rookie wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase is active for the Week 18 regular season finale against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, but fellow wideout Tee Higgins is a healthy scratch. Chase needs just 12 yards to set the franchise's single-season receiving yards record, which is probably the only reason why he's not inactive along […]

Vita Vea Agrees To Four-Year Extension

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and defensive tackle Vita Vea agreed to a four-year contract extension on Saturday worth over $73 million. Vea has been one of the best interior defensive lineman since the Bucs took him in the first round in the 2018 draft. Tampa already agreed to pick up his fifth-year option for the […]

Anthony Lynn Done In Detroit

Offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn is out after one year as the Lions offensive coordinator. Detroit head coach Dan Campbell hired him in January. However, Lynn's tenure in the Motor City appeared to be coming to an end before it even got off the ground, as he was relieved of his play-calling duties in November. Nonetheless, […]

Tyree Jackson Believed To Have Avoided ACL Injury

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Tyree Jackson (knee) will undergo more tests after getting injured in Saturday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys, but the early belief is that he didn't suffer an ACL injury, according to a source.

Seahawks Have No Plans To Deal Russell Wilson

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is expected to remain under center moving ahead.

The […]
