The Las Vegas Raiders announced Saturday that they’ve elevated LB Jamin Davis and T Dalton Wagner to their active roster for their season finale against the Chiefs.

Davis, 26, is a former first-round pick of the Commanders back in 2021 out of Kentucky. He was in the final year of his four-year rookie contract after having the team decline his fifth-year option when Washington elected to waive him in October 2024.

Davis then caught on with the Packers’ practice squad a few weeks later. The Vikings signed him to their active roster before waiving him in December when he...

The Las Vegas Raiders may already have a favorite if they decide to move on from Pete Carroll after the recent issues following the season. Around the league, more people keep pointing to Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter as a leading candidate.

The Raiders are expected to make major changes soon. Tom Brady now plays a big role in football decisions alongside general manager John Spytek. Brady has already hinted at who the team could target in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Those connections matter. Brady and Spytek both have strong ties to Michigan, just like Jesse Minter. Minter coached at...

The Eagles announced the elevation of LS Charley Hughlett and DB Brandon Johnson for Week 18.

Hughlett, 35, originally signed on with the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent out of UCF back in 2012.

He lasted just over a year in Dallas before he was cut loose after the 2013 draft. He has bounced around a bit with the Patriots, Jaguars, and Chiefs before the Browns signed him to their active roster in 2014.

He finished a six-year deal with Cleveland, signed back in 2017, and signed to a four-year extension through 2026 in October 2022. The Browns cut...

The Los Angeles Chargers announced a series of roster moves for their Week 18 game against the Broncos.

The full list includes:

• Chargers signed S Marcus Maye to their active roster.
• Chargers placed CB Nikko Reed on injured reserve.
• Chargers elevated OL Branson Taylor and QB DJ Uiagalelei to their active roster.

Maye, 32, is a former second-round pick of the Jets back in 2017. He finished the final year of his four-year, $6.554 million contract that included $4.134 million guaranteed in 2020.

The Jets used their franchise tag on Maye which cost them $10.5 million for...

Angry football fans are calling for the NFL to investigate the New York Giants after some bizarre developments involving star tight end Theo Johnson.

Earlier this week, the Giants ruled Theo Johnson out for their season finale vs. the Dallas Cowboys with an illness. Despite being under the weather, Johnson was spotted at Madison Square Garden to watch the New York Knicks take on the Atlanta Hawks.

The NFL has strict rules about teams providing false/misleading injury reports on players. In October, the league fined the Baltimore Ravens $100,000 for incorrectly listing Lamar Jackson as a full participant in a...

The Bills elevated DE Matt Judon and LB Keonta Jenkins ahead of the team’s final regular-season game.

Judon, 33, is a former fifth-round pick of the Ravens back in 2016. He played out the final year of his four-year, $2.595 million contract before being franchised by the Ravens.

Judon was once again in line to be an unrestricted free agent when he signed a four-year, $56 million deal with the Patriots. He was entering the final year of that deal when he was traded to Atlanta prior to the 2024 season in exchange for a third-round pick.

The Dolphins signed...

The New England Patriots officially Patriots activated LT Will Campbell and DT Milton Williams to the 53-man roster from injured reserve on Saturday.

Both players are expected to play in Sunday’s game against the Dolphins.

Campbell has been out with an MCL injury, but the expectation was that he would have a chance to return at some point this season.

Campbell, 21, was a three-year starter at LSU and earned second-team All-SEC honors in 2022 and first-team in 2023. The Patriots selected him with the No. 4 overall pick in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft.

He...

Per Aaron Wilson, the Texans are elevating DT Leki Fotu and S Kaevon Merriweather for the final game of the season.

Fotu, 27, is a former fourth-round pick by the Cardinals in the 2020 NFL Draft out of Utah. He finished out the final year of his four-year, $4,068,470 rookie contract that included a $773,470 signing bonus.

He was testing the open market for the first time in his career in 2024 before deciding to sign with the Jets. Fotu then signed with the Raiders this past offseason on a one-year deal. The Raiders waived Fotu in early December, and...

Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Media report that Raiders HC Pete Carroll’s status is “very much in doubt” entering the final week of the season.

In fact, the report says that “it would be, at this point, a major surprise if Carroll returns for a second season.”

Raiders owner Mark Davis reportedly has not communicated any decision as of now and it could take a day or two before any moves are made.

According to the report, Carroll has been fighting for another year, but the feeling within the team is that changes are likely.

Carroll wound up...

Saturday marks the start of Week 18, and the final two days of the 2025-26 regular season.

The first year of the J.J. McCarthy experience with the Minnesota Vikings hasn’t gone according to plan for either the team or the sophomore quarterback.

McCarthy, whom the Vikings selected in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, has completed just 57.3 percent of his passes for 1,450 yards, 11 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions in nine starts this season.

And while the Vikings are 5-4 in those starts, the feeling around Minnesota is that the team could have been far better with strong play at the quarterback position.

McCarthy will be back in Minnesota in 2026. That much is...

JANUARY 3: The Rams opened Higbee’s practice window three days ago for a reason. After missing the past six weeks, the 33-year-old veteran has been activated from injured reserve in time for a crucial Week 18 game. With a win and a 49ers loss, the Rams will head to Carolina for the Wild Card round of the playoffs; a loss or Niners win sends them the Philadelphia.

In order to make room for Higbee on the 53-man roster, Los Angeles waived defensive end Larrell Murchison. The Rams also announced that defensive end Jack Heflin and safety Tanner Ingle will serve...
