The New York Giants announced that Jameis Winston would start in Week 11 with Jaxson Dart sidelined. The Giants will go with Winston over Russell Wilson against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. The 10-time Pro Bowler struggled in three starts earlier this season before being replaced by Dart.
Wilson was asked if he hopes to be a starter again in the NFL. “Yeah, definitely want to be able to. And definitely want to have that opportunity. I know what I’m capable of… I’m just looking forward to having the rest of a great day today. And I say that...

The appropriate thing happened on Wednesday after Rob Gronkowski officially retired as a member of the New England Patriots. Fans have been pushing for it to happen since the well-loved tight end walked away from the NFL in 2022.
Gronkowski signed a one-day deal with the Patriots, with team owner Robert Kraft in attendance.
The 84-year-old Kraft even joked that they should make it a two-day contract so Gronkowski could suit up versus the New York Jets on Thursday at Gillette Stadium.
“Sure, what’s the signing bonus?” said Gronkowski.
“Nothing’s changed,” replied Kraft.
The 36-year-old Gronkowski, who won three titles...

On Wednesday afternoon ahead of the Green Bay Packers Week 11 matchup vs. the New York Giants, the focus shifted to star linebacker Micah Parsons after he reacted to Fox Sports’s Colin Cowherd, who offered another round of public criticism after the team’s Week 10 Monday Night Football loss to the Philadelphia Eagles 10-7. Cowherd first claimed Parsons was not good against the run in that game, and the exchange spread quickly as fans zeroed in on the latest shot and Parsons’ response.
Cowherd, who works for Fox and hosts The Herd, posted a segment on X (formerly known as...

The Los Angeles Rams (7-2) take on the field against the Seattle Seahawks (7-2) at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, with NFC West supremacy on the line. Both teams enter the matchup on a four-game winning streak, and the victor will claim first place in the division.
Defensive end Kobie Turner will be a notable absence for Los Angeles, as he did not participate in Wednesday’s practice due to a back injury. Turner, who has recorded 21 tackles (nine solo), 1.5 sacks, and one pass defense through nine games, may have sustained the injury during the Rams’ 42-26 victory over the...

It looks like the Minnesota Vikings could be getting another significant part of their offense back from the injured reserve list.
On Wednesday, the Vikings opened the window for center Ryan Kelly. Kelly, who the Vikings signed to a two-year contract this offseason to replace the departed Garrett Bradbury, has been limited to just three games this season due to concussion issues.
Kelly, who had a history of concussion issues during his time with the Indianapolis Colts, has suffered two concussions so far this season. The first game in the Vikings’ Week 2 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, which caused...

As usual, those “way too early” mock drafts and prospect rankings are looking drastically different six months later. Many of those players projected to take huge leaps to first-round stardom have been humbled at the college level, while relative unknowns have begun to make their case for being selected in the top 32.
Our first look into the 2026 QB options focused mostly on existing tape, though a few inexperienced options were expected to shine. The one everyone will recognize is Longhorns passer Arch Manning. The NFL legacy got off to a rough start in his first season as...

Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy has completed his first four games in the NFL. That’s not a big sample size for any sort of definitive judgment about McCarthy- usually around game 25 is when you might begin to form some conclusions about the trajectory of a young quarterback, but even then it may be too early depending on the circumstances- like with Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield. But while we may not have a good idea about McCarthy’s trajectory until after next season, assuming he’s healthy for the remainder of this season and next, we can begin to look at...

In the locker room after the Chicago Bears beat the New York Giants, head coach Ben Johnson introduced one of his game ball recipients by saying, “This next guy, man, he’s got ice in his veins. And if you don’t believe it now, you just wait, man. The best is yet to come. 18! Here we go!”
The locker room erupted as Johnson gave the game ball to quarterback Caleb Williams, who had just led the Bears to their fourth come-from-behind win of the season.
Which made the NFL’s choice of Williams as their mic’d up Bear this week an...

Many eyebrows were raised when the Atlanta Falcons drafted Michael Penix Jr. as the eighth overall pick in last year’s draft. Experts deemed him a second-round prospect, but the Falcons rolled the dice and took a chance on the young quarterback.
Penix only played five games last season as the backup of Kirk Cousins. While he has seen more opportunities in his second season after taking over the starting spot, Penix has yet to fully deliver. The Falcons lost their fourth straight game on Sunday after bowing to the Indianapolis Colts, 31-25. They fell to 3-5.

Though the Philadelphia Eagles were able to pull out a gutsy win over the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football, it didn’t come without some controversy, namely from star wide receiver AJ Brown, who finished out the game with two catches on three targets for 13 yards.
After making a joke about his production on Twitch, Brown was asked about his comments, production, and role in the Eagles’ offense, and let it be known that he isn’t just happy with winning, but instead wants the offense to evolve in such a way that he plays a massive role in...
