The Browns elevated DE K.J. Henry on Saturday, as they need more depth along their defensive line due to injuries.

Henry, 26, was drafted by the Commanders in the fifth round out of Clemson during the 2023 NFL Draft.

He was entering the second year of a four-year, $4.2 million rookie contract when Washington waived him during final cuts. The Bengals claimed him off of waivers in August and later signed him to the practice squad.

Dallas signed Henry off Cincinnati’s practice squad in October and waived him a month later. From there, Henry caught on with the Eagles before...

Darius Slay opted not to report to the Buffalo Bills when he was waived and subsequently claimed at the beginning of this week. As Teryl Austin put it, “sometimes the fit isn’t right.” But should the Pittsburgh Steelers have seen this coming from a 34-year-old cornerback who just won his first Super Bowl? One beat […]

Falcons

The Falcons took DE James Pearce Jr. with the No. 26 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, trading their 2026 first-round pick to the Rams in the process. Atlanta HC Raheem Morris feels Pearce was worth relinquishing their future pick to pair him with fellow rookie DE Jalon Walker.

“Yeah, we love James Pearce,” Morris said, via Josh Kendall of The Athletic. “He’s done a great job of providing us a lot of relief in our pass rush this year. Being able to get Jalon and double it up and get James, I love those guys.”

Dianna Russini reports that Chargers QB Justin Herbert is planning to play on Monday Night Football against the Eagles.

Herbert’s teammates told Russini he is ready to go, despite undergoing surgery to repair a fractured left hand.

Trey Lance took over for Herbert briefly and would likely be the starter if Herbert decides not to play.

Herbert, 27, was taken with the No. 6 overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft by the Chargers. He signed a four-year, $26,578,754 rookie contract that included a $16,890,003 signing bonus.

The Chargers picked Herbert’s fifth-year option for the 2024 season before signing him...

Public opinion on longtime New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has rarely been high. Whether it be the cheating scandals or stoic personality, the 73-year-old coach has seldom made it easy for football fans to cheer him on.

Apparently, this sentiment extends to former players as well.

On Wednesday, three-time Super Bowl champion Ted Johnson turned heel on “WEEI Afternoons” with a staunch criticism of his former head coach.

“I would say Belichick, by far, is the most responsible for the cheating scandals,” said Johnson.

“I don’t know if a coach has had more success than Bill when it...

The Tennessee Titans went 3-14 the season after firing head coach Mike Vrabel.

After earning the first overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Titans are 1-11 and five games away from securing a second straight top selection.

Long story short, the decision hasn’t delivered the results Tennessee had hoped for.

But for Tennessee radio personality Jared Stillman, Vrabel owes his success to owner Robert Kraft’s decision to take the offensive coaching staff hiring out of Vrabel’s hands.

“What I can’t get over is how Mike Vrabel has been able to, in New England, overcome his single biggest issue...

Bengals

Bengals DE Myles Murphy came up with two big plays in a short span during Week 13’s win over the Ravens, chasing after Derrick Henry to stop a long run before tipping a pass that led to an interception by LB Demetrius Knight Jr. five plays later. Cincinnati DL coach Jerry Montgomery highly praised Murphy for his effort on both plays.

“This is a hell of a play,” Montgomery said, via Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic. *“Instead of letting the touchdown go, we got the stop and three or four plays later, we got an interception. That’s...

The Cincinnati Bengals (4-8) head to Buffalo to face a Bills team that is coming off a blowout win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Joe Burrow is back and barely looks like he missed time or is nursing a not-quite-recovered injury.

Check out highlights of his impressive performance against the Baltimore Ravens on Thanksgiving below.

The Bengals QB is undefeated against the Bills, and he’ll likely have Tee Higgins back.

Most of America will get to see Cincinnati try to stay in the playoff race on Fox.

Here is a TV coverage map of Fox’s early game for Week 14 courtesy...

As a back-to-back AFC South champion, Houston entered the 2025 season as the odds-on favorite to rule the division again. While few expected either the Jaguars or Colts to seriously contend, they’re ahead of the Texans heading into Week 14. With the exception of the 1-11 Titans, who may be on their way to a second straight No. 1 overall pick, the AFC South is anyone’s to win with five games remaining.

Jacksonville and Indianapolis, both 8-4, will meet on Sunday with first place on the line. They’ll also square off in in Week 17. The Texans (7-5) will go...

TEN AND TWO, BABY!! This Broncos team has won nine games in a row, and there’s no reason it shouldn’t win a tenth. But it is the Raiders, a division rivalry, and as our new UFGer, Broncs Cheer, points out…those games are their own animal. But as he also points out, the Raiders are a hot mess (yay!) and this should not be a hard game for Denver.

If you’ve been a fan long enough, however, you know that Denver doesn’t really do easy games. Quick side note, I was at last week’s game in D.C. and man, I haven’t...

On Thursday, the Seattle Seahawks waived DT Quinton Bohanna, who had been up and down the practice squad a number of times this season.

On Friday, Bohanna was claimed off waivers. It’s not the first time this has happened to Seattle, either.

After appearing in five games this season, Bohanna will not be one of the flurry of re-signings the Seahawks have enjoyed this year.

In fact, he’s the third player that Seattle has lost through the waiver wire to another team in the last couple months. That’s above NFL average pace.

Earlier, Derion Kendrick [was claimed back by the...

The New Orleans Saints are coming off back-to-back losses and have officially been eliminated from the playoffs. While playoffs were a long shot when the season started, getting eliminated a month before they start can always be a morale killer. With just five weeks left in the season, the Saints will look to rack up as much momentum as possible before heading into the offseason, and the best place to start is against a division rival. But if the black and gold want any chance of winning, they have to win these key matchups.

**Saints secondary vs. Buccaneers wide...
