The Minnesota Vikings are currently reeling from the brutal injury to rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy, who will be missing the entire upcoming season due to a knee injury.

The Las Vegas Raiders are in a bit of a flux entering the preseason, and head coach Antonio Pierce wants to help stabilize the team by playing everybody in all of their exhibition games. However, this policy directly conflicts with star wide receiver Davante Adams’ insistence on not playing in the preseason. He had told […]

The Cleveland Browns will be without well-paid cornerback Denzel Ward for now, as he is in the concussion protocol. On Monday, Ward hit his head on the ground during a Browns practice. Later that day, head coach Kevin Stefanski noted that Ward was in the protocol. On Wednesday, Ward did not participate in practice but […]

Former Los Angeles Rams All-Pro Aaron Donald, alongside Andrew Whitworth, made a notable appearance at the team’s joint practice with the Dallas Cowboys on Wednesday, catching the eyes of many as they reconnected with former coaches and teammates.

Bo Nix made his NFL debut in the preseason opener against the Indianapolis Colts, and for the most part, the rookie was impressive.

The Houston Texans went from a three-win team in 2022 to a playoff team last season. Now, they are expected to contend for the Super Bowl. Such a drastic improvement means that there was an influx of talent added to the roster in a short period of time. The Texans went from trying to find […]

The Miami Dolphins have undergone some drastic roster changes over the years.

The New York Jets have high hopes for the upcoming 2024 campaign, largely because they are expecting to have Aaron Rodgers back on the field for them.

Since trading Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders, the Green Bay Packers haven’t had a receiver with 800 yards on their roster, much less 1,000. This situation has left fans and observers wondering whether or not the Packers even have a clear WR1. It also makes one wonder if they need one at all, […]

The NFL preseason reminds us how tough it actually is for players to make it to the pros, especially for undrafted rookies. Not only do they have to battle with the teams’ draft picks, but they also have to duke it out with veterans and free agents looking for a home. Despite standing out in practice […]

Since the retirement of Peyton Manning in 2016, the Denver Broncos have shuffled through a carousel of different quarterbacks in a desperate search to find someone to lead their franchise. With the 12th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Broncos selected Oregon quarterback Bo Nix. The Broncos and their fans are desperate to […]

The Detroit Lions are riding the momentum of an impressive 2023-24 season. Detroit hopes to maintain its status as one of the top two teams in the NFC during the Fall of 2024. The squad is returning some highly-touted contributors. Yet, there remain questions about the Lions’ wide receiver core. Head coach Dan Campbell was […]

The Kansas City Chiefs are now defending champions for the second straight year. Part of the territory that comes with winning the Super Bowl is that other teams want your players and their championship pedigree. After all, the NFL is a copycat league. Because of that, the Chiefs lost some key contributors in the offseason. […]

The Indianapolis Colts are about to enter one of their most anticipated seasons in recent memory. Hope is alive and well in Indy that the team can succeed in year two under QB Anthony Richardson. If they want a chance to succeed this season, the Colts will need to stay healthy. The NFL’s Guardian Cap […]

The Indianapolis Colts are laying in the weeds in the AFC South. Indy is often overlooked, despite having an exciting young QB and tons of talent all over their roster. If Anthony Richardson can stay healthy in 2024, there’s no telling how successful the Colts could be. Colts QB Anthony Richardson returned to the field […]

The Dallas Cowboys were unsuccessful in their preseason opener this afternoon, losing 13-12 to the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium. For quarterback Trey Lance, making his first appearance in a Cowboys uniform since being acquired before last season, it was not the most impressive outing. That’s disheartening as starting QB Dak Prescott is in […]

Despite the loss to the Los Angeles Rams, 13-12, to start their preseason, Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons took time to look forward to the 2028 LA Olympics.

In what looks to be the tightest race for an NFL starting quarterback, the wait will be over soon.

Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix impressed in his preseason debut against the Indianapolis Colts, which they won 34-30. Despite coming off the bench, Nix played well enough to earn consideration of a starting job over current starter Jarrett Stidham sometime in the next season. Stidham went to the bench in the first quarter, and […]

It’s not often that teams in any sport should find effective contributors, much less high-quality players, in the trenches of the draft. That doesn’t seem to be a problem for the Los Angeles Rams, though, whose sixth-round draft pick Jordan Whittington put in an impressive performance in his NFL preseason debut. The former Texas Longhorn […]

There hasn’t been much of a Denver Broncos quarterback controversy this offseason. Sure, Sean Payton and the rest of the coaching staff have yet to name a Week 1 starter, but every report coming out of Broncos training camp has Bo Nix as the runaway favorite for the job. The Broncos’ chorus favoring Nix grew […]

The New Orleans Saints are undefeated after squeaking out a last-second 16-14 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. As the final score suggests, it was a sluggish preseason road opener, but all coaches would rather conduct film studies following a win. This is especially true in New Orleans. The Saints have not won back-to-back preseason openers […]

For those following the Las Vegas Raiders training camp and and their lukewarm quarterback battle, a preseason-opening 24-23 loss to the Minnesota Vikings was far more exciting. Aidan O’Connell kicked the game off with a 15-play, 83-yard drive that resulted in a field goal. On the next three possessions in the second quarter, Gardner Minshew […]

Three quarterbacks played for the Denver Broncos in their preseason opening win against the Indianapolis Colts, 34-30, and none of them were as impressive as rookie Bo Nix. Broncos head coach Sean Payton spoke after the game and talked about what really impressed him with the University of Oregon product. While Jarrett Stidham started the […]

Sometimes, life is bigger than football. New Orleans Saints backup quarterback Jake Haener didn’t let cancer surgery slow him down in their 16-14 win over the Arizona Cardinals on Saturday. The second-year signal-caller was diagnosed with skin cancer in late July, and the resulting surgery put 32 stitches in his face. They will be removed […]

The Denver Broncos shocked the world when they drafted Bo Nix with the 12th overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft, but the franchise seemed convinced that he was their quarterback of the future.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are reconnecting with a former player. The franchise is signing veteran safety Tashaun Gipson to a one-year deal, per ESPN.

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur must’ve seen all […]

Saturday saw some exciting play from rookie quarterbacks as while Caleb Williams looked solid in his small sample size, Washington Commanders signal-caller Jayden Daniels looked like a star in his preseason debut.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is revealing he wants to take a solid hit this preseason from an opposing player.

When speaking to the media after the contest, there was lots of talk about Williams whether it be from himself or from his teammates that sung […]

Reading too closely into the results of a preseason game is a fool’s errand, but don’t tell that to Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott after getting trounced in a 33-6 loss to the Chicago Bears. When asked to surmise what specifically went wrong for the Bills in their NFL preseason opener, McDermott was salient […]
