Will the Steelers promote Ja’Whaun Bentley to the 53-man roster? Although the Steelers signed veteran ILB Ja’Whaun Bentley to the practice squad, there’s no rule requiring him to stay there. There are rules that encourage teams to sign veterans to the practice squad as a prelude to promoting them to the 53-man roster, though, as […]
The Steelers received some bad and unexpected injury news late Wednesday, with NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reporting that depth interior offensive lineman Max Scharping suffered a knee injury in practice.
“(T)he fear is that it’s significant,” posted Rapoport.
He added that the team will confirm the severity with an upcoming MRI.
Scharping signed with the Steelers in 2024 and has appeared in two games for the black and gold, logging just seven offensive snaps. He’s played in both guard spots over his NFL career and even saw time at center for Pittsburgh over the preseason.
If Scharping’s injury is confirmed...
For the third-straight week in a row, the Philadelphia Eagles find themselves facing off against a team with playoff aspirations, with the Los Angeles Rams taking their second direct flight of the year from LAX to PHL for an NFC showdown.
Soon, fans will get to see if Nick Sirianni is able to get his offense back on track, supercharging a Kevin Patullo-led unit that has been inconsistent in Weeks 1-2 to the heights that became standard under Kellen Moore, or if things will remain frustratingly consistent, with both the passing and rushing units underperforming versus expectations.
And as for...
It seems Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton isn’t fazed by the fuss over Tom Brady’s dual roles as a Los Angeles Raiders minority owner and Fox broadcaster.
The 48-year-old recently grabbed headlines when he was spotted in the Raiders’ coaching booth during their Week 2, 20-9 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday Night Football, headset on and seated next to offensive coordinator Chip Kelly. While the NFL confirmed Brady did not violate any rules, prohibiting him from attending team practices and limiting his involvement in production meetings to remote participation, the optics provoked contention leaguewide.
When asked...

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ running game may have shown improvement in Week Two’s loss against the Seattle Seahawks. But a running theme of the week is “better isn’t good enough.” Averaging just 3.0 YPC as a team with a 44-percent success rate, the ground game must get in gear. Doing so means changing on multiple fronts: […]
Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter started the season on a controversial note after spitting on Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott just six seconds into their opening game.
He was immediately ejected from the game but luckily escaped suspension.
In Week 2 against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, Carter contributed three quarterback hits and two tackles, playing 48 of 60 snaps. He, however, also hurt his shoulder during the game. He is reportedly questionable for Week 3 against the Los Angeles Rams.
But Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said it’s not a cause for concern, saying it’s “not going...
The Dallas Cowboys were, predictably, left thin at defensive end after trading Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers this offseason. To address the need on the edge, the Cowboys signed Jadeveon Clowney to a one-year deal this weekend.
After a brief stint with the Carolina Panthers, the 11th-year veteran will continue his career in Dallas. And Clowney will be donning a new jersey number with the Cowboys.
The former Pro Bowler has worn four different numbers (90, 99, 24 and 7) during his decade-plus in the league. But those numbers are all currently being used. So Clowney has decided...
The Denver Broncos are facing early pressure in the 2025 season, and cornerback Pat Surtain is owning up to his role in a disappointing Week 2 loss. Following a 29-28 defeat to the Indianapolis Colts, Surtain offered a rare and brutally honest self-assessment, calling out his own technique in what many viewed as an off game for the reigning Defensive Player of the Year.
In a piece published by The Denver Gazette’s Chris Tomasson, he highlighted the standout defender’s candid reflection. During a post-practice media session at Broncos Park, Surtain broke down his struggles in detail.
“I know the type...
As expected, the Commanders received good news today as it was announced that the D.C. Council voted to approve the RFK Stadium Project, allowing the franchise to return to the site of its former home of 36 years. A statement from team owner Josh Harris announced Washington’s plans moving forward.
“Today is a historic day for D.C., the Commanders organization, and our fans,” the statement began. “With the Council’s approval, we can now move forward on the transformative RFK Project that will bring lasting economic growth for our city.”
Harris went on to thank the Mayor Mureil Bowser and...
What is wrong with the Kansas City Chiefs’ offense? Are they simply missing too many players? Or has Patrick Mahomes not yet rounded into regular season form, whiffing on balls and throwing picks where he would usually drop dimes?
Well, in the opinion of NFL offensive lineman-turned analyst Brian Baldinger on the NFL Network, the answer is simple: the Chiefs need to run the ball more in order to change how defenses play them.
“The birthday boy is the 16th leading rusher in the NFL with 123 rushing yards, and that’s not good because there two running backs, Pacheco and...
The Philadelphia Eagles are off to a 2-0 start in 2025 despite not looking great coming off of their Super Bowl victory, but the final score is what matters. The Eagles have and no problems there, dispatching the Dallas Cowboys and Kansas City Chiefs in a pair of one-score games.
However, coming out of the Week 2 win in Kansas City, nobody wanted to show the Eagles any love. A lot of the talk around the team has been around the ineffective passing game and the Tush Push, which the Eagles have continued to use at will so far this...
