Officially, San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle is questionable to play in Sunday’s bout with the Green Bay Packers. He is dealing with knee and ankle injuries. However, an official injury report won’t do Kittle justice. There is not a personality measure in an injury report dictating who will play or not. If there […]

A week has passed since Colin Kaepernick’s canceled workout with the NFL turned live-streamed throwing session at a high school field. Since then, the polarizing quarterback and social rights advocate has not found a team in the league. However, according to his attorney Mark Geragos, there is some lingering interest in Kaepernick.

New England Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore is capable and does the NFL’s best wide receivers. On Sunday, he will have the opportunity to face yet another one of the league’s premier pass-catching talents in Dallas Cowboys’ Amari Cooper. Cooper, in his first full-season in Arlington, Texas, is piecing together an excellent season — he has […]

A year ago, Richie Incognito was watching football from his house. It turns out, the life of retirement did not suit the offensive guard.

Tua Tagovailoa’s season-ending hip injury did not just put a wrinkle into Alabama’s championship aspirations. It brought questions of his worth as a first-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, where he was once considered to be the lock to go No. 1 overall. Tagovailoa’s hip dislocation and subsequent surgery is not a pleasant sight […]

The Philadelphia Eagles have holes to fill. Adding speed and playmaking to the wide receiver corps is a must in the offseason, so is revamping their pass-rush and potentially adding a bit more youth to their offensive line. However, there is one need that stands out above the rest: secondary. Since winning the Super Bowl […]

Dak Prescott is on a tear. The Dallas Cowboys has blown away all expectations in his fourth-year in the NFL, standing in as a legitimate MVP candidate heading in Week 12 of the NFL’s 100th season. Prescott has elevated the Cowboys to the top-seed of the NFC East, with a 6-4 record. How has he […]

The Michael Vick and Lamar Jackson comparison isn’t new. Since his Louisville days, the Baltimore Ravens quarterback has earned comparisons to Vick due to his speed, agility, big arm, and ability to put all three together. However, some think that Jackson may be better than Vick, despite having less than two seasons of NFL experience […]

Amari Cooper has played the part of one of the NFL’s best in 2019. However, the Dallas Cowboys wide receiver has not benefited from a clean slate of health — until Week 12. Cooper, who has been on every practice injury report in 2019 due to a foot, quadriceps, knee and ankle, had another day […]

Speed kills. In remembrance of Al Davis’ asphyxiation with speed, the Oakland Raiders, led by head coach Jon Gruden, have added just that as of late. Wide receiver Tyrell Williams and tight end Darren Waller highlight the Raiders’ need for speed. They can add more during the 2020 NFL Draft. Oakland, though improved at wide-out, […]

The Arizona Cardinals have “their guy” in quarterback Kyler Murray. However, for the nation to truly soak that in, they may need to surround him with weapons. While offensive line remains the top priority, wide receiver is up there, especially with the incoming — probable — retirement of Larry Fitzgerald. If Arizona figures out a […]

Giving Aaron Rodgers weapons is never a bad idea. While looking months ahead to the 2020 NFL Draft, could the Green Bay Packers give him another one? If so, who could it be? Clemson wide receiver Tee Higgins comes to mind as a logical addition to Rodgers’ arsenal. With the Packers seeking depth and star […]

Jameis Winston is not the answer in Tampa Bay. For the Buccaneers, that is as clear as day, as Winston, in his fifth season with the team, has not developed into the quarterback they had hoped he’d be when selecting him at No. 1 overall in 2015. His turnover issues, coupled with lack of development […]

According to Field Yates of ESPN, Jackson leads the pack in Pro-Bowl votes by a wide margin. He has 146,171, out-pacing second-place, Patrick […]

Could Tom Brady’s heir apparent be in the 2020 NFL Draft? According to Chris Trapasso of CBS Sports, it is, as he mocked Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa to the New England Patriots in his most recent mock draft. “The other 31 teams collectively drop their jaws at the same time. To get the fifth-year option on […]

Just like that, the fat lady was singing in Mexico. The Los Angeles Chargers found themselves with an opportunity to beat the Kansas City Chiefs in Mexico City in the fourth quarter of the contest.

Instead, head coach Matt Nagy handed the rock over to veteran Chase Daniels. The Bears did not bench Trubisky for Daniels. Instead, the quarterback suffered a hip injury in […]

There was one perfect passer from Sunday’s slate of games. He doesn’t play quarterback. His name? Julian Edelman, wide receiver for the New England Patriots. On 3rd-and-11 in a tightly contested win over the Philadelphia Eagles, Edelman, on a trick play, found fellow wide-out Phillip Dorsett for a 15-yard touchdown. It turns out; the touchdown […]

The Los Angeles Rams got it done.

Backup tailback Malcolm Brown punches in an easy touchdown on 1st-and-goal to extend the Rams’ lead. […]

Against the Detroit Lions, the Dallas Cowboys gunslinger went 29 of 46 passing for 444 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. His stat line in the 33-27 put him in an exclusive club. With Sunday’s performance in the books, Prescott has now recorded four games […]

On the night of Nov. 17, 2019, points are at an all-time premium. Between two anemic offenses in the Chicago Bears and Los Angeles Rams, all touchdowns are big touchdowns. Chicago’s first of the night is, as it should be, their biggest, even if their smallest player scored it. Watch below. 5-9 tailback Tarik Cohen […]

Colin Kaepernick’s Saturday work out caused its fair share of noise. However, it didn’t leave the polarizing unemployed quarterback with a job, at least, not yet.
