Colin Kaepernick has been out of the NFL since last appearing with the San Francisco 49ers in 2016, but the quarterback still has hopes of returning, tweeting a video of himself working out and saying that he is “still ready”: 5am. 5 days a week. For 3 years. Still Ready. pic.twitter.com/AGczejA1rM — Colin Kaepernick (@Kaepernick7) […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars had an extremely disappointing 2018 season, but Leonard Fournette thinks they can get back to their old heights. After making the AFC Championship Game in 2017, expectations were understandably high heading into last year. Instead of building on their success, they fell flat on their faces. They ended up going just 5-11 […]

The New York Giants will play their first preseason game on Thursday night when they take on the New York Jets, which means that rookie quarterback Daniel Jones will make his NFL debut. The Giants have kept their plans under wraps in terms of how many snaps they will have Jones and Eli Manning playing […]

The San Francisco 49ers already suffered a scare with wide receiver Marquise Goodwin after he briefly went down during practice. Unfortunately, it appears things did not cool off after the same happened to defensive end Nick Bosa. According to ESPN’s Nick Wagoner, Bosa had to be treated by the training staff for a potential leg […]

Nick Foles is in new surroundings as quarterback of the Jacksonville Jaguars, but among his receivers is a familiar face: Chris Conley. During the one season that Foles spent with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2016, Conley was a member of the team, and while Foles didn’t actually start under center, the two developed some […]

With the preseason opener just days away, the focus for the San Francisco 49ers is to make it to the regular season as healthy as possible. Unfortunately, it appears they suffered a bit of a scare with wide receiver Marquise Goodwin. Goodwin went down during practice with an apparent ankle injury. According to Rob Lowder […]

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan often doesn’t get mentioned among the league’s top passers, but he’s been putting up some gaudy numbers. Ryan isn’t as flashy and doesn’t get a ton of headlines, but he’s been quietly putting up a body of work over the last decade that’s hard to argue with. As Michael David […]

The Oakland Raiders are coming off of a miserable 2018 campaign in which they won just four games, but thanks to a busy offseason in which they added numerous big names, the Raiders have some hope going into 2019. Whether or not Oakland actually contends for a playoff spot remains to be seen, but, at […]

The Chicago Bears are going to be immortalizing two franchise icons soon, Walter Payton and George Halas. The team announced today that they’d be building statues of those two legends outside Soldier Field, per Michael David Smith of ProFootballTalk.com. The statues will be displayed on Tuesday, September 3rd just a couple of days before the […]

There was some mystery surrounding Sean Davis’ absence from a week of training camp with the Pittsburgh Steelers. But considering that the team announced his missed time was due to a hand injury and elected against elaborating further, the assumption was the fourth-year safety wasn’t feeling much pain – and could perhaps even return to […]

The New England Patriots are coming off of their sixth Super Bowl title, and now, they will engage in something that generally means less to them than any other team in the NFL: preseason. The Patriots will kick off their preseason against the Detroit Lions on Thursday night as they begin their quest to win […]

The controversial non-call at the end of last year’s NFC Championship Game has been talked about endlessly for so long that seemingly everyone is growing tired of it, including the players involved like Detroit Lions newcomer, Tommylee Lewis. Lewis, of course, was the intended receiver on Drew Brees’ ill-fated pass. Rams cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman came […]

In typical New England Patriots style, the organization has made another savvy signing. Wide receiver Cameron Meredith, who recently signed with the team, has no guaranteed money in his contract. This comes as no surprise, as it’s a classic Bill Belichick move. Base value of Cam Meredith’s deal with the Patriots: two-years, $2.02M with no […]

Important, albeit unsurprising news from the Washington Redskins. Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk has reported that presumed starter Colt McCoy will not start in Thursday’s preseason game. This isn’t exactly a huge shocker. McCoy broke his leg while filling in for Alex Smith last year, and hasn’t really worked out or practiced with the […]

There has been a lot of talk this offseason about the NFL cutting down the preseason and adding onto the regular season, but that isn’t something New York Jets coach Adam Gase is excited about. Gase thinks that having four games during the preseason is essential because it gives coaches enough time to evaluate the […]

Luckily for the Pittsburgh Steelers, they have options for the backup quarterback position. As of now, third-year quarterback Josh Dobbs is slated to get the start in the team’s preseason opener, according to Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk. While this is a good sign for Dobbs, the position battle is far from over. Second […]

Kendall Sheffield is part of a larger picture in Atlanta. The Atlanta Falcons and the Denver Broncos — by playing in the NFL’s annual Hall of Fame Game on August 1 — are the two NFL teams who will play five (not four) preseason games this year. Coming into the HOF Game, all eyes were […]

Tennessee Titans cornerback Malcolm Butler has big plans for the 2019 season. After signing a massive five-year, 61 million dollar contract last offseason, Butler was a major disappointment in Nashville. He played like one of the league’s worst corners, consistently getting burned by opposing passing attacks. But this year, he says things will be different. […]

San Francisco 49ers running back Jerick McKinnon returned to the practice field on Tuesday for the first time since tearing his ACL and he seemed to enjoy his time on the field. McKinnon is being eased into a full workload and it maybe will take a couple of weeks for that to happen, but right […]

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette wasn’t a huge pass-catching threat during college or his first couple of years in the league, but coach Doug Marrone thinks it’s something that can be exploited this year in the offense. During Monday’s practice, he caught three passes out of the backfield looking very comfortable in the role, […]

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has a lot of critics and Hall of Famer Michael Irvin isn’t quite sure why. One thing that Irvin thinks people overlook is just how much love Prescott has for the game, and he thinks that is one of the most important things that a franchise quarterback can possess. “(People) […]

The Los Angeles Chargers finally have some good news when it comes to the running back position. Despite star runner Melvin Gordon holding out, it looks as though the Chargers have found their next man up. Second-year player Justin Jackson has been showing out this training camp and has certainly made an impression on his […]

Bad news for second-year Tampa Bay Buccaneer Vita Vea, as he reportedly left practice with an injury today. According to Eduardo Encina of the Tampa Bay Times, Vea went down during a routine one-on-one drill. While the injury doesn’t look too serious at this point, there’s no telling just yet. It seems to be a […]

All signs point towards Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz not playing in the teams first preseason game and that isn’t something he seems too worried about. Wentz said after Tuesday’s practice that preseason can be helpful, but he doesn’t think it’s necessary and no matter if he plays or not, he will be ready when […]

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman was a key part of the “Legion of Boom” with the Seattle Seahawks, and sees some similarities to this year’s defense that he has apart of. Sherman said on NFL Network’s Inside Training Camp Live over the weekend that it may have taken more than a year but he […]

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard still has a cast on his broken thumb, but he expects to be a full go when the team takes the field week one against the Dallas Cowboys. Shepard won’t be in action when the team takes on the New York Jets on Thursday night, he says it’s […]

CLUTCH Summary: The NFL Network recently released its Top 100 players in the league list to much excitement. Big name guys like Drew Brees and Ben Roethlisberger obviously made the cut. However, a few guys were slotted far too high, even with a few outright not even belonging on the list at all.  The NFL […]

There’s clearly no love lost between the Green Bay Packers and Houston Texans following the teams’ pair of heated joint practices. But after DeShaun Watson, the Texans’ injury-plagued franchise quarterback wearing the no-contact red jersey, went down during a “non-tackling” drill during Tuesday’s session, he did his best to diffuse the situation. Asked if he […]

Carolina Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly has dealt with concussions throughout his NFL career so the team is trying to be very careful with him, including limiting his preseason time. Kuechly knows how serious concussions can be, but he knows to get ready for the regular season he needs to be able to hit some opposing […]

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo won’t be playing in the teams preseason opener on Saturday against the Dallas Cowboys but he is expected to get some run in the next two games. 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said after Tuesday’s practice that the play was for Garopplo to play in the teams second and third […]

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham knows that his stats haven’t been super impressive the last few years, but this season he is ready to “shut a lot of people up.” It’s a new system with Matt LaFleur in charge and he thinks that is going to really help out his game. Graham knows […]

The New England Patriots have been known for developing undrafted free agents and quarterback Tom Brady has been impressed with one in particular so far in training camp. All the eyes so far in training camp has been in rookie first-round pick N’Keal Harry but Brady has also taken notice of former N.C. State wide receiver […]

Le’Veon? That doesn’t ring a bell. In 2018, the Pittsburgh Steelers faced a running back problem with their former star not playing. Questions filled media rooms about who will lead their rush attack. Rather quickly, that was answered; 2017 third-round pick James Conner will be that guy. It turns out, that was the right choice. […]

The Green Bay Packers have long been searching for a suitable running back to pair with Aaron Rodgers. In 2018, their search may have ended. Then-second year fifth-round UTEP product Aaron Jones burst onto the scene for a season in which he recorded 934 scrimmage yards in 12 games played. The back recorded 728 yards […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers made quite the investment to move up and take linebacker Devin Bush with the 10th overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. Fortunately, it seems he has already started to make quite the impression on his new coaches and teammates. Bush has been getting ample work in with the first and second […]

Although the Arizona Cardinals do not appear to be done adding pieces to their receiving corps, it seems head coach Kliff Kingsbury is optimistic about the players he already has to work with. Returning to his usual post as the No. 1 wideout is Larry Fitzgerald. According to Darren Urban of the team’s official website, […]

The Cleveland Browns signed wide receiver Jaelen Strong this offseason in an effort to shore up some potential depth in the receiving corps. With preseason set to begin, he still finds himself on the cusp of competing to be on the final 53-man roster. Strong was considered to be somewhat of a longshot after missing […]
