Will Campbell was not himself down the stretch last season.
After suffering a tear in his MCL that cost him four regular-season games, Campbell returned for the Patriots’ regular-season finale and playoff run. The rookie struggled upon his return, as executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf later noted that three of Campbell’s four worst games came during the postseason.
Wolf also acknowledged the struggles were largely due to Campbell losing lower-body strength because of the injury. This offseason, regaining that strength was at the top of Campbell’s to-do list.
“Getting back healthy, I did [physical therapy] five days...

The Cincinnati Bengals selected Brian Parker II with pick 189 overall in the sixth round.
For me personally, I was pretty shocked Parker was still available. I had Parker rated as my 74th overall player in the draft. I loved the fact that he has played left and right tackle in college, while being expected to naturally kick inside to guard or center at the next level.
A player on the offensive line with five position flexibility is usually highly coveted around the league. I am sure the Bengals were more than happy to bring the St. Xavier alumnus back...

Although the draft happened over a month ago, there could be one more quarterback prospect to find a home before the 2026 season begins. Brendan Sorsby, widely thought of as a top candidate in the 2027 draft class, could be forced to enter the supplemental draft if he’s unable to regain his collegiate eligibility for […]

Court grants Rashee Rice request for knee therapy while serving jail sentence in Texas | KMBC
Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice has been granted permission to receive knee therapy while serving a jail sentence in Texas related to a high-speed crash case.

Having taken small steps each of his past three seasons, he is seeing encouraging signs under the new coaching staff.

“They’re all improving. None of them are practicing,” Campbell said ahead of the third OTA practice for the team. “It’s the best I can tell you.”
At this point, there is no clear timeline for any of those players’ returns to the field, but this week we did get some visual progress for Branch.
The Lions’ Pro Bowl safety suffered a torn Achilles in early December, and it’s basically been radio silence since. However,...

The Denver Broncos fell just one game short of making the Super Bowl last season. Despite a successful campaign and bringing back a strong roster loaded with star players and continuity, a lot of outlets and analysts continue to sleep on the Broncos’ potential for the upcoming 2026 season.
ESPN’s Football Power Index ranking is the latest to show a less than favorable projection for the Broncos in ‘26. Per their methodology, Denver enters the season ranked fifteenth in the NFL—eighth best in the AFC despite being the conference’s top seed in 2025. That seems a bit odd, doesn’t it?...
