Lamar Jackson vs. Josh Allen is on! "We do think we'll have Lamar next week," Baltimore Ravens head coach Jesse Minter said about Jackson at a press conference on Friday afternoon. "I'm excited about that. He's had a really good week of practice. It'll probably end up showing that he was a full participant in practice this week. … "A credit to him and the work that he put in dealing with an injury and putting himself in a position to be back, and that's obviously exciting for our team." Jackson

In the span of two hours, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson caught passes from Jordan Love, was examined in the hospital and then returned to play at Lambeau Field. Excuse me? Yes, that was the order of events for Watson, who suffered a chest injury with 9:11 remaining in the second quarter of the Packers' Thursday night win over the Carolina Panthers and returned to the sideline following a hospital visit with 7:06 remaining in the third quarter. Watson's return to the sideline w

We're in NFL Week 8, and this week, I'm paying attention to a few squads that I'm still undecided about. Here's how I'm wagering the weekend.

The Cowboys still leave a lot to be desired, and they shouldn’t be a favorite over anyone in the NFL by seven points. Dallas just beat up on the Eagles, but that game was far c

The Carolina Panthers fired defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero and defensive passing game coordinator Jonathan Cooley on Friday following the team’s 27-19 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night. Evero is the first NFL coordinator to be fired this season. Carolina (3-4) entered the week ranked 22nd in overall defense and last in the league against the run. Green Bay's Jordan Love was 30 of 41 passing for 288 yards with three touchdowns and one interception in the win over Carolina. It has

The hope at the beginning of every college football season is that good players will improve to become great and that previously undiscovered talent will make a draft class that much better. The reality, however, is that some players regress. And with today’s liberal transfer policy and the allure of NIL dollars, players are more hesitant than ever to enter the NFL before exhausting their college eligibility. We won’t know for certain which prospects will make up the Class of 2027 until mid-Janu

When Howie Roseman traded away Cam Jurgens, a key piece of the Philadelphia Eagles' offensive line, he insisted that wasn’t a sign that a fire sale had begun. He still had high hopes for his team this season. He saw the division as very winnable. Of course, that was three long weeks and three losses ago. Now, there’s no reason to pretend anymore, or for the Eagles general manager not to raise the white flag on a lost year after his team fell to 2-5 with a disheartening 38-21 loss to the Dallas C

It’s crazy to think that Micah Parsons hasn’t even played a snap yet for the Green Bay Packers, because they’re starting to look pretty darn good without him. They beat the Carolina Panthers, 27-13, on Thursday night at Lambeau Field. There were warts. There were issues — particularly in the fourth quarter. But the Packers held on. And it must not feel great that the Packers entered this week as the fourth-ranked team in the NFC North — and the Panthers entered this week first in the NFC South.

Yes, Tom Brady understands the irony behind his disagreements with the roughing-the-passer penalties called in Sunday's Green Bay Packers-Detroit Lions game. That won't stop him from advocating for defensive players to get some more leeway when it comes to hitting quarterbacks, though. In the most recent edition of #AskTom, Brady said that quarterbacks should take some more accountability on certain hits, adding that it comes with the territory of playing the position. "On the field, I just thin

Apparently, the old adage is true: deadlines do spur action. With only one round of games left before Tuesday's trade deadline, NFL teams are already making moves, including three former All-Pros moving teams this week. The Colts traded away guard Quenton Nelson and defensive tackle DeForest Buckner for a cache of draft picks. Not to be outdone by their conference rival, the Titans shipped off their best player, defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons, to Chicago for two first-round picks and a fourth.

Week 8 is (kinda) the NFL halfway point. That went by fast, didn't it? Here's where I'm putting my money ahead of this weekend. This page may contain affiliate links to legal sports betting partners.

The Packers have no running game and are completely reliant on Jordan Love throwing it nearly every down. With his attempts prop set at 35.5, and considering he’s averaging nearly 40 throws

There was once a time when the NFL trade deadline brought very little pomp and circumstance. That's no longer the case. This week has been a prime example that very few trade ideas are far-fetched. Three players with All-Pro talent have been traded in the last few days. The Indianapolis Colts traded guard Quenton Nelson and defensive tackle DeForest Buckner to the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers, respectively. Possibly the biggest deal of the deadline came on Thursday, though, when the

The run-up to this year's NFL trade deadline has already brought a ton of exciting moves. But with a little less than two weeks before, we might have gotten the biggest deal we'll see this deadline season when the Chicago Bears landed All-Pro defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons on Thursday. Simmons, a three-time All-Pro and four-time Pro Bowler, is arguably one of the best players to be dealt during the season in recent memory, and what the Bears gave up to acquire him certainly suggests that. The

Wednesday brought more trade deadline fallout in Indianapolis and several notable practice reports as teams prepare for Week 8. The Colts’ fire sale is picking up steam, with Josh Downs reportedly asking for a trade a day after the team traded two impact players, while the Ravens, Bengals and Rams each had a star player either return or remain out of practice. Downs requested a trade while Jonathan Taylor has not, and Lamar Jackson was a full participant for Baltimore as he continues to recover

Tom Brady knows that Super Bowls aren't won in October, but you can get an "I told you so" or two during the fall. That's what the seven-time Super Bowl champion did when he unveiled his most recent power rankings. With the San Francisco 49ers losing to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 7, Brady has a new team at No. 1 ahead of Week 8, saying that he's taking a "mini victory lap" as a result. Brady's new No. 1 team doesn't reside in the AFC North, even though the division has four teams with a winning

The Indianapolis Colts' fire sale is officially underway. With guard Quenton Nelson and defensive tackle DeForest Buckner getting traded on Tuesday, all eyes now shift toward who the Colts will move next. Among the remaining roster pieces, star running back Jonathan Taylor is viewed as a top trade asset expected to command a massive return. However, more names could be on their way out — and not just expiring contracts. True core pieces of the roster could be moved heading into the NFL trade dea

Lamar Jackson was a full participant in practice for the Baltimore Ravens, which suggests his latest injury saga could be over sooner rather than later. Maybe. "I think the more you’re able to do and respond from and feel from certainly raises your optimism," coach Jesse Minter said Wednesday. "But again, we’ll kind of see how it goes throughout the week." The Ravens play at Buffalo on Sunday. Since his first full season as a starter in 2019, Jackson ranks seventh in starts among NFL quarterback

Lumen Field (Seattle) — Tyrice Knight said the quiet part out loud. I asked the Seattle Seahawks linebacker how surprised he was to see the Kansas City Chiefs lining up rookie cornerback Mansoor Delane by himself in press coverage against the best receiver in the league: Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Knight shook his head. "They must not have been watching film," Knight told me following the Seahawks' 20-3 win over the Chiefs. "I don’t know why they left that cornerback out there like that. Maybe they had

Basketball and baseball and football, oh my. The greatest time of the year continues. Here's what I'm looking at this week for my five-leg parlay.

The Thunder have had a rough week, with serious injuries to Jalen Williams and Cason Wallace casting a cloud over their 4-0 start. Despite the absences, OKC has enough dep

The Detroit Lions cleared Kerby Joseph to practice on Wednesday, giving the team 21 days to decide whether to put the 2024 All-Pro safety on the active roster or on season-ending injured reserve. "This is a step in the right direction," coach Dan Campbell said. Joseph has had a series of setbacks since his last game on Oct. 12, 2025, including an injured left knee that didn't respond well to treatment and a lot of time off after he played in just six games. After attempting to come back last yea

DeForest Buckner is heading back to where it all started. The Indianapolis Colts are trading the three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle to the San Francisco 49ers for a 2027 fourth-round pick, according to The Ringer. The deal came hours after the Colts sent guard Quenton Nelson to the Seattle Seahawks, a sign that Indianapolis is fully committing to selling ahead of the Nov. 10 trade deadline. The Colts fired general manager Chris Ballard after a 26-20 Week 6 loss to the previously winless Tennes
