After a few rough goes in early October to cause concerns about their ultimate ceiling, the Philadelphia Eagles are back and look better than ever, sitting in first place in the NFC at 6-2 with a commanding 2.5-game lead in the NFC East after all three of their competitors lost during their Week 9 bye.

And the best part? Reinforcements are here, with Howie Roseman working the phone lines to add not one, not two, but three new players to his roster that should help fortify positions of weakness down the stretch.

First came Michael Carter II, the Joe Douglas-drafted...

Titans veteran safety Quandre Diggs was placed on waivers today. First reported by Titans senior writer/editor Jim Wyatt, the move doesn’t appear to be a performance-related transaction, at least not on the part of Diggs. According to Ian Rapoport, Diggs’ waiving was the result of Tennessee honoring the 32-year-old’s request to be released from his contract.

Diggs was in his second season with the Titans. This is actually the second season in a row in which Diggs won’t finish the season for Tennessee. Diggs’ 2024 campaign came to a close after eight starts when he [suffered a season-ending Lisfranc...

Northwestern Wildcats WR Griffin Wilde dove in the end zone for a 4-yard TD, tying the game vs. the USC Trojans.

Though he’s barely been in Philadelphia long enough to have a favorite cheesesteak joint, trade deadline acquisition Jaelan Phillips has already made a strong impression with new Eagles teammates.

Discussing the newest addition to the Eagles’ outside linebacker room with reporters on Friday before making the journey to the frozen plains of Green Bay, Nolan Smith championed his new teammate, noting he already loves the fires and passion the former Dolphin has brought with him to the NovaCare Center.

Nick Sirianni was also asked about how Phillips fits in with the Eagles and was similarly complimentary, [calling him a great...

The controversial hip-drop tackle is once again in the spotlight after J.K. Dobbins' reported injury on Thursday Night Football.

Chicago Bears linebacker T.J. Edwards underwent surgery this week to repair a broken hand, head coach Ben Johnson confirmed Friday. The 29-year-old will not play in Sunday’s Week 10 game against the New York Giants, having missed practice all week due to both his hand and a lingering hamstring injury.

Despite the surgery, the team has not yet decided to place Edwards on injured reserve, as they are hopeful he can eventually return to play with a protective cast on the hand, potentially allowing him to resume play sooner than the four games an IR designation would mandate (h/t Dan...

Ryan Clark has high remarks on the Seattle Seahawks’ ceiling after they landed wide receiver Rashid Shaheed from the New Orleans Saints.

The Seahawks acquired Shaheed from the Saints on Nov. 4, getting him in exchange for two 2026 draft picks. They add a lethal receiver who has a knack for making big catches for plenty of yardage, providing more explosiveness to the offense.

Clark gave his thoughts on the addition during a Friday segment of NFL on ESPN. He described it as a huge move, believing that Seattle will be harder to contain with its receivers in Shaheed and...

Every week, it seems to something injury-related out in the Bay Area. Whether it’s somebody preparing to miss a lot of time, a “will he” or “won’t he” gametime decision, or questions on timetables for return, the 49ers have provided headlines all season. The latest such headline pertains to the middle option as a questionable Brock Purdy will watch Mac Jones start for the sixth week in a row, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

It’s become a weekly post with Purdy, who has been on the team’s injury report every week since he was hurt in the season...

Sean McVay’s Los Angeles Rams run an offense that asks one simple question of opponents: Can you stop creativity? Former NFL quarterback and ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky argued on Thursday that the answer is usually “no,” and he made a neat case for why McVay’s scheme ranks among the league’s most entertaining.

Orlovsky framed his praise around two contrasts. He called the Rams’ running game “super boring, super simple”, a controlled base that minimizes negative plays, and then lauded the passing game’s motion, matchup hunting, and pre-snap creativity as the part that actually moves the needle.

The result, he said,...

It’s been an uneven year for Bears star receiver DJ Moore, with just 403 yards and a touchdown through eight games. But Moore’s head coach, Ben Johnson, doesn’t seem to be losing faith in him.

In fact, as the rookie coach told reporters during press availability on Friday, Moore’s perception within the building appears to be far different than the one fans and media have.

“I mean, you talk about a guy that comes into work with a smile on his face every single day,” Johnson said this week. “He loves football. I love what he’s about right now. …...

It’s already Week 10 of the NFL season and the New Orleans Saints are off to their worst start in 40 years. Sitting at 1-8, and in the middle of the rebuilding year with a new head coach, offensive and defensive coordinator, not much has gone right for the Saints so far. Especially on offense, who has struggled to put up points this season. So much so that a change came at quarterback in favor of the Saints 2nd round draft pick Tyler Shough, who will know take the reins for the rest of the season and hopefully create a...
