Here are all the latest happenings around the league as we enter the holiday season and the home stretch of the regular season.

Detroit Lions DE Aidan Hutchinson joins Michael Strahan to discuss what he is thankful for and returning to play on Thanksgiving against the Green Bay Packers.

Tom Brady also believes Thursday's Chiefs-Cowboys game is a bigger must-win for Dallas.

Detroit Lions HC Dan Campbell joins Jay Glazer to discuss facing the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving and how his team has improved from Week 1.

The Minnesota Vikings added depth at quarterback on Thursday, signing Desmond Ridder to their practice squad as rookie JJ McCarthy remains in concussion protocol. The move comes as Minnesota (4–7) prepares for a Week 13 road matchup against Sam Darnold and the Seattle Seahawks (8–3) on Sunday at 4:05 p.m. ET on FOX.

McCarthy, who already missed time earlier this season with a high ankle sprain, entered concussion protocol following the team’s Week 12 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Minnesota now faces another week of uncertainty at the position, prompting the return of Ridder, who previously spent time with...

Happy Thanksgiving to all of yinz and I hope your Thursday schedule allows for some football-watching time. There are three games being played on this holiday Thursday. In the first 2025 Thanksgiving game, the 7-4 Detroit Lions will host the 7-3-1 Green Bay Packers. In the late-afternoon game, the 5-5-1 Dallas Cowboys will host the […]

The NFL season is currently heading toward its home stretch, with teams around the league looking to make their final preparations and get themselves in the best position possible prior to the postseason. Two of those teams are the San Francisco 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks, each of whom is in the NFC West and currently looking up at the Los Angeles Rams, who are in first place in the division.

The Seahawks and 49ers have still been good this year in large part to the strength of their skill positional players. For the Seahawks, that starts with wide receiver...

Tom Brady joined the "NFL on FOX" crew and discussed making his career debut on Thanksgiving, whether the Chicago Bears can fend off the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers to stay atop the NFC North, whether the Kansas City Chiefs can bounce back and make the playoffs, and more!

According to Ian Rapoport, Colts QB Daniel Jones suffered a fracture in his fibula, but will continue trying to play through the injury.

Rapoport, citing a source, reports Jones “looked good” in Thursday’s practice and was a full participant.

Another person who knows Jones told Rapoport that the quarterback’s issue is “not an injury he’s concerned about.”

Jones was able to play in Week 12’s loss to the Chiefs after being limited in practice going into the game, and it looks like the quarterback will continue soldiering on.

Jones, 28, was selected by the Giants with the No. 6 overall...

It’s Thanksgiving Day, a holiday for families and loved ones around America to come together, be thankful, and share a very large meal. My early Thanksgiving memories always involved driving down to Pittsburgh (well, southern suburbs anyway), visiting both my mom’s side and dad’s side as well as various relations. Turkey, fixings, and pierogis at every stop. It was day to catch up with family.

As a kid, I didn’t fully appreciate how lucky I was to be surrounded by family and warmth every where I went. Now that the days of my grandmas and their hosting have long passed,...

The NFL finally did it, moving the Detroit Lions’ annual Thanksgiving Day game back to begin at 1 p.m. EST. As they’ve done for generations, The Lions open up America’s football-loaded turkey-centric holiday by hosting the Green Bay Packers in what should be a fantastic NFC North slugfest.

At 7-4, Detroit has slipped a bit this season, but they’re still one of the premiere teams in the NFC. As for Green Bay, they’re 7-3-1, and a bit similar to the Buffalo Bills with a Jekyll & Hyde dual personality in 2025. There are no Bills-related rooting interests in this one....

The 2025-26 NFL season is currently heading toward its stretch run, with teams making final preparations to best put themselves in playoff position (or draft position, depending on the situation). Two of the biggest surprise stories in the NFL this year have been the Chicago Bears and New England Patriots, both of whom sit atop their division with impressive records at this point.

Recently, however, a report from ESPN showed how an advanced stat known as DOVA, or defense-adjusted value over average, exposed these teams for being at least somewhat fraudulent.

“The underlying stats say the Pats are not even...
