The Jaguars placed veteran cornerback Jourdan Lewis on injured reserve on Thursday, per a team announcement.

Lewis will undergo foot surgery and miss the rest of the 2025 season, including the playoffs, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. Since Jacksonville has already clinched a spot in the postseason, Lewis could have theoretically returned for a potential AFC Championship game appearance. Unfortunately, his injury is too severe to even attempt a rushed recovery.

Lewis went down in Sunday’s win over the Broncos. He has appeared in 12 games this year as the Jaguars’ primary nickel with 39 tackles, 10 passes defended,...

PITTSBURGH — During his media availability on Wednesday, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers gave his input on DK Metcalf’s two-game suspension for getting into an altercation with a fan at Ford Field during the team’s 29-24 win over the Detroit Lions on Sunday.

While the Steelers were on defense in the second quarter, Metcalf got into it with the fan, who was in the front row. Metcalf grabbed the fan by his shirt and swiped at him. He didn’t hit him directly, but there was some contact.

Rodgers doesn’t condone what Metcalf did, but he thinks there should be a...

The Washington Commanders received an encouraging update during their Christmas Day matchup against the Dallas Cowboys after a brief injury scare involving veteran cornerback Jonathan Jones.

Jones exited in the second quarter to undergo a concussion evaluation, creating immediate concern for a secondary already facing heavy pressure. The 10-year veteran was escorted to the locker room as medical staff followed league protocol, temporarily thinning Washington’s defensive rotation during a pivotal stretch of the game.

ESPN insider Adam Schefter first reported the situation, noting that Jones was being evaluated and listed as questionable to return. The update quickly drew attention across...

The fantasy football championships are upon us, giving managers one final chance to stream a kicker in NFL Week 17.

If you’ve made it this far, you’re in it for all the marbles. Stress levels are at an all-time high, but the good news is that there is less competition on the waiver wire, with many rival managers having already packed it in.

The NFL schedule can be tricky at this time of year in Week 17, with several teams having nothing to play for after getting eliminated from the playoffs. That can make the fantasy football kicker situation difficult...

Dave Portnoy went after streamer Adin Ross after a livestream moment involving Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua created a lot of tension earlier. The Barstool Sports founder reacted after clips spread showing Ross teaching Nacua a touchdown dance rooted in antisemitic stereotypes.

Portnoy was quite angry. In a chat, he slammed Ross for promoting what he called a harmful and ignorant act. Portnoy accused Ross of trying to look edgy and relevant at the expense of his own community. ***“You’re a Jew who wants the cool kids to seem like he’s a cool Jew. Suck Kanye’s D*CK. You’re...

With the Dallas Cowboys playing on Christmas Day against the Washington Commanders, the team suffered an injury in the first half of the game in the form of running back Javonte Williams. As Dak Prescott has led the Cowboys to a 24-10 lead at halftime against the Commanders, the team still awaits word on Williams, who has been a key part of the team’s offense throughout the current season.

According to Jon Machota, Williams is “questionable” to return to the game with a shoulder injury as he exited the game on Christmas Day.

“Cowboys RB Javonte Williams is questionable with...

The Indianapolis Colts today released their Wednesday injury report for Week 17 of the NFL season against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.

Center Tanor Bortolini missed practice today due to a concussion. Bortolini had entered the league’s concussion protocol. He will likely be out this week unless he can clear the protocol quickly this week. If he is out this week, the team will likely turn to veteran Danny Pinter to play in his place.

Defensive tackle DeForest Buckner missed practice today with a neck injury. Buckner was activated off injured reserve last week but appear to be missing practice...

The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed veteran cornerback Tre Flowers, the team announced on Thursday.

Flowers, 30, has been signed to the 53-man active roster and will take the roster spot vacated by wide receiver DK Metcalf, who is suspended for the final two games of the 2025 regular season.

The 6-foot-3, 203-pound cornerback has been with the practice squads of the Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions this season, playing in two games with Detroit in October.

Originally a fifth-round pick of the Seattle Seahawks out of Oklahoma State in 2018, Flowers spent his four seasons in Seattle. He started as...

The Washington Commanders are hosting the Dallas Cowboys on Christmas day. This game doesn’t mean anything for the playoffs with both teams already eliminated. The Cowboys were knocked out of contention last week when the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Commanders to clinch the NFC East. Washington is down to their third-string QB in Josh Johnson, and they added last year’s third-string QB(Jeff Driskel) this week with both Jayden Daniels and Marcus Mariota out. The Cowboys are planning on playing Dak Prescott and most of their starters for the final two games. Merry Christmas!

The Pittsburgh Steelers looked like there were on track to easily win the AFC North. However, DK Metcalf’s suspension has made that less of a guarantee. The Steelers can still lock up their division before playing another game if the Baltimore Ravens don’t beat the Green Bay Packers this week. That’s not a sure bet […]
