The entire NFL has pretty much agreed on at least one thing about the preseason. Established quarterbacks rarely see any time, if any throughout these four weeks. Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is no exception. Head coach Doug Pederson is hesitant to play his signal-caller at all this preseason, according to Pro Football Talk. While […]

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford has been an iron man. He has played every game for the last eight years, and never missed practice. But head coach Matt Patricia decided that it was time for a break for his starting signal-caller. Stafford missed almost missed a whole week of practice for the first time in […]

As the Green Bay Packers prepare to get the 2019 NFL season underway in the first game of the year against the Chicago Bears, there are things that they are still scrambling to figure out. Even after a solid showing on both sides of the football against the Houston Texans last week in a 28-26 […]

Every team in the NFL could use more cornerbacks. But the New York Jets are just getting desperate at this point. Defensive coordinator Gregg Williams has stated that star safety Jamal Adams could make the move to corner. “He can do it, there’s no doubt about it, he’s a good enough athlete to do that. […]

Bad news for the Los Angeles Rams. Cornerback Aqib Talib tweaked his hamstring during Saturday’s preseason game against the Oakland Raiders, according to Steve Rebeiro of the Rams Wire. This is an especially ominous sign because Talib missed so many games during the Rams’ Super Bowl campaign. The former Denver Bronco appeared in eight games […]

The Washington Redskins’ quarterback situation remains fluid. As veteran reserve Colt McCoy holds an early lead on his competition to be the Redskins’ first-string signal-caller, though, he’s received a confident endorsement from one of his team’s best and most-respected players. Speaking with reporters on Tuesday, Adrian Peterson made it clear he’d be comfortable if Washington […]

Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett took his training to the next level this offseason training with UFC heavyweight contender Stipe Miocic who will be fighting for the championship this weekend against Daniel Cormier. Garrett trained at Strong Style Mixed Martial Arts and Training Center in Independence, Ohio for a couple of weeks before training […]

New York Jets running back Le’Veon Bell hasn’t been in a football game for well over a year, and there are some questions if he will get any run during the preseason. Coach Adam Gase has said he isn’t sure if Bell is going to play, and although Bell admits he would like to play […]

The Miami Dolphins are in full-blown rebuilding mode. Maybe no general manager in NFL history has been so aggressive in prioritizing the future over the present than Miami’s Chris Grier, who’s positioned his team to have over $100 million in cap space and at least 10 draft picks next season. Just because the Dolphins’ focus […]

The Arizona Cardinals received some criticism this offseason for their handling of Josh Rosen, trading him after just one season, but general manager Steve Keim said the team didn’t have a choice because they see quarterback Kyler Murray as a “generational talent.” Kliff Kingsbury had nothing but praise leading up to the draft about Murray, […]

The expectations surrounding the Cleveland Browns are at an all-time high, and why wouldn’t they be? On paper, the team is arguably the most talented group in the entire NFL, and should be able to make the playoffs for the first time since 2002.  But nothing is guaranteed in the NFL, and the Browns do […]

The New York Giants made a lot of changes that raised some eyebrows, but owner John Mara said that the team needed to make some “drastic changes.” Mara said it was hard for him to see all the talent walk out the door but what the team was doing clearly wasn’t working, so some things […]

No decision-maker in the NFL has received more flak over the past year than Dave Gettleman. Fortunately for the New York Giants’ oft-criticized general manager, though, the one person who actually decides his fate seems pleased with job he’s done – and almost seems to relish his unflinching penchant for drumming up scrutiny. In a […]

In less than a year, the Cleveland Browns have gone from one of the NFL’s most hapless teams to one of its hottest. The Browns are a trendy pick to emerge out of a crowded field of Super Bowl contenders in the AFC thanks to a franchise-changing offseason, one that quarterback Baker Mayfield believes has […]

The Cleveland Browns have ultra-high expectations for this season, but that isn’t something that Baker Mayfield is too concerned about. Mayfield knows everyone around the league has their set of expectations for what the Browns will accomplish this year, but points out last year that the guys inside the locker room actually had higher expectations […]

The New England Patriots are in Tennessee this week to take part in some joint practices, and quarterback Tom Brady is already taking some shots at Tennessee Titans coach Mike Vrabel. Brady was walking onto the practice field, which prompted Vrabel to give the future Hall of Famer a hard time. Brady made sure to […]

Fox News host Tomi Lahren had some strong words about the NFL and Jay-Z’s announced partnership on the league’s entertainment events and community activism. Lahren took to Twitter to blast the NFL saying “apparently the league doesn’t hate America and law enforcement officers at a level satisfactory enough for the former drug dealer.” Jay-Z will […]

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake is in a walking boot for the start of Wednesday’s practice according to Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.

It has been nearly three long years since Colin Kaepernick stepped foot on the gridiron and played professional football alongside the rest of the San Francisco 49ers. The former Super Bowl quarterback has said he’s “still ready” to make a comeback to the league, even if it has been a while since he last threw […]

The Carolina Panthers were able to secure a win in the preseason opener versus the Chicago Bears. They have wasted no time in getting well-acquainted with their next opponent after taking part in a joint practice with the Buffalo Bills ahead of their NFL preseason Week 2 matchup on Friday. The Panthers managed to bring […]

The Dallas Cowboys, in a near parallel to the 1990s, have their triplets; a Pro-Bowl quarterback, running back, and wide receiver. But, unless they can extend all of them to lucrative deals that situation will unlikely last. One of those triplets in line to get one of those deals is quarterback Dak Prescott. The team […]

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers has accomplished a lot on the field. He’s been incredibly consistent, starting all 16 games in each of the past 13 seasons. He’s been a staple of this modern era of football and has built a Hall of Fame resume, making the Pro Bowl eight times. Despite all that, […]

Case Keenum’s chance to win the starting quarterback for the Washington Redskins job is within reaching distance. With incumbent starter Colt McCoy missing time due to soreness, following a leg break in 2018, and first-round pick Dwayne Haskins potentially not being ready for live NFL action, Keenum has been practicing with the first team in […]

The Los Angeles Rams will get to sip piña coladas on the beaches of Honolulu, Hawaii before facing the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday, August 17th in a Week 2 preseason bout at Aloha Stadium. However, their star running back Todd Gurley probably won’t accompany them on the sandy business trip. Rams head coach Todd McVay […]

The San Francisco 49ers finished their Week 1 preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys winning 17-9. For NFL preseason Week 2, they will fly to Denver for a Monday night brawl against the Broncos. As the date of playing nears, there are a few areas of focus to keep tabs on. 3. Players stepping up […]

The Cleveland Browns started the 2019 preseason on a high note with a 30-10 victory over the Washington Redskins. Now come the Indianapolis Colts. The Browns had to like what happened in their preseason opener. From a successful two-minute drive to kick off the game to a punt return touchdown to cap it, Cleveland performed […]

The Houston Texans may be inclined to move on from Jadeveon Clowney amid his holdout from the team. The Texans’ pass-rushing specialist is set to become a free agent in 2020. One ideal trade partner for the Texans could be the Washington Redskins. As currently constructed, the biggest need for the Texans is at the […]

Amid injury reports — that turned from a calf strain into a high ankle injury — the Indianapolis Colts will bench star quarterback Andrew Luck for the preseason, as ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports. The Colts will play Jacoby Brissett, Phillip Walker, and Chad Kelly in the exhibition games as Luck heals. Colts now say QB […]

An undrafted North Dakota State product standing in at 5-10 with a 4.57-second 40-time in the books, wide receiver Darrius Shepherd is far from a sure thing to make the Green Bay Packers, considering him as a prospect. But, if he can play, he can play. Which, hint: he’s doing in training camp. Packers general […]

The New York Jets were among the teams in the NFL who actually played their starting quarterback in their preseason opener. The Jets kicked off their preseason schedule against the New York Giants, with Sam Darnold starting under center. The first drive for New York couldn’t have gone much better with Darnold completing four of […]

New York Giants general manager Dave Gettleman’s offseason has brought critics far wide. From his bold (perhaps an understatement) moves that include trading fan-favorite Odell Beckham Jr., drafting Daniel Jones at No. 6 overall — to the dismay of his fanbase –, and not resigning former All-Pro Landon Collins to his adamant defense of his […]

There is cause for concern in Miami Dolphins quarterback Josh Rosen’s quest for the starting job. Rosen is battling with Ryan Fitzpatrick, and it has been clear all offseason that Fitzpatrick has the upper hand. Unfortunately for Rosen’s cause, his recent practice behavior drew the ire of the man running the competition, head coach Brian […]

The Arizona Cardinals selected former Oklahoma Sooners quarterback Kyler Murray with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.

The Chicago Bears are entering the 2019 season with a loaded offense around Mitchell Trubisky. Among his weapons, Trubisky is enthusiastic to insert rookie Riley Ridley into the mix this year. “I love throwing to Riley. He’s very savvy,” he said. “He’s like [Wims] a lot where he can run the whole route tree. We […]

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck sustained a calf injury shortly into training camp practice. That injury has been updated, recently, as ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports, via general manager Chris Ballard, that it’s been changed from a calf strain to a high ankle injury. Previously, Colts owner Jim Irsay noted that Luck’s injury is similar to […]

The Houston Texans notably selected former Texas Longhorns defensive lineman Charles Omenihu with the 161st pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. This meant JJ Watt became a teammate. Now, the rookie defensive lineman is trying to learn as much as he can with the AFC South franchise. There is no question that the Texans and […]

Indianapolis Colts star quarterback Andrew Luck is not looking any closer to playing Week 1 of the regular season. Per The Athletic’s Zak Keefer, the Colts “aren’t ready to determine whether Andrew Luck will or won’t be ready for a Week 1 start.” Colts aren't ready to determine whether Andrew Luck will or won't be […]
