Eagles Place Quez Watkins On Injured Reserve, Activate Nakobe Dean
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Quez Watkins (hamstring) has been placed on injured reserve.

It appears he has re-injured his hamstring, though, and will now miss at […]

Frank Clark Might Return To Kansas City
Free-agent defensive end Frank Clark can sign with a new team as of Saturday. The veteran, who inked a deal with the Broncos this offseason, appeared in just two games for the franchise, totaling two tackles. Without a doubt, his short-lived tenure in Denver wasn't a success.

Seattle Seahawks linebacker Jordyn Brooks (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's team practice. It's a good sign that Brooks was able to practice in some capacity to start the week.

Week 6 IDP Rankings for Fantasy Football - Positional Rankings for Linebacker, Defensive Line, Defensive Back
If you’ll indulge me, I’d like to begin this week by returning to a favorite topic of mine: Arthur Smith. The former Titans’ coordinator has been a whipping post of mine for some time, but he’s earned praise from some analysts as a “gamer” who wins despite his offense (his specialty) struggling to score touchdowns. […]

Buffalo Bills linebacker Matt Milano (knee, leg) fractured his leg and also suffered a severe knee injury during Sunday's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Matt Milano Won't Return In Week 5
Buffalo Bills linebacker Matt Milano (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game versus the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Week 5 IDP Rankings for Fantasy Football - Positional Rankings for Linebacker, Defensive Line, Defensive Back
It's Week 5 in the NFL, which means the first round of byes is here. That brings questions for all of us. Chief among those questions is, "Why does any NFL team need a bye this early in the season?" It's a valid question, especially since the NFL added an extra game in 2021. Odds […]

Dallas Cowboys edge rusher Micah Parsons (knee) has been removed from the team's injury report and will play on Sunday Night Football.
