More than two decades after entering the NFL coaching ranks as an unpaid intern with the Kansas City Chiefs under former head coach Dick Vermeil in 2003, Chad O’Shea returned to his first pro coaching stop this offseason. The Chiefs named O’Shea the team’s wide receivers coach on January 19.

Since cutting his teeth on Vermeil’s staff, O’Shea has carved out a career as a respected coach of the receiver position — most notably with the New England Patriots, where he was a part of three Super Bowl-winning squads. He was most recently the wide receivers coach and passing game...

The school year is coming to an end which means it’s time to start handing out grades.

When Houston Texans head coach Demeco Ryans was a star linebacker for the Texans, a (bad) decision was made to trade him to the Philadelphia Eagles. He went on to lead the Eagles in tackles the next 2 seasons, before ultimately exiting due to a torn achilles.

Now, as you well know, Demeco is back in H-Town, but this time as the (potentially) greatest coach in Texans history. On Christmas Eve, he’ll lead his current team against his former franchise when they travel...

The possible return of Aaron Donald to the Los Angeles Rams is almost as big as the trade L.A. made to acquire Myles Garrett, but if you ask Cooper Kupp, he’d rather just see AD stay retired. He probably figures the Seattle Seahawks will be busy enough with Garrett and L.A.‘s roster as is. Adding Donald would be a whole other animal, in theory.

It’s pretty amazing that Kupp isn’t even on the Rams anymore, but he’s so synonymous with them that he apparently has to answer questions about the potential unretirement of AD. Glory to Kupp, a forever member...

Micah Parsons’ approximate return date from the season-ending ACL injury he sustained last year has just been revealed and it should be of interest to the Dallas Cowboys. According to Ian Rapoport, Parsons is currently on schedule to make his 2026 NFL debut in mid-October. That means his first game back could be against his former team, the Cowboys, in Week 6.

The Cowboys are scheduled to hit the road to take on the Green Bay Packers October 18, which coincides with Micah Parsons’ potential season debut according to the nine-month timetable it generally takes to fully rehabilitate from an...

The Pittsburgh Steelers will conclude mandatory minicamp on Thursday before returning next week for their final rounds of OTAs. After that, they will let out for six weeks before reporting to Latrobe for training camp.

This is the time of year for fringe players to show they deserve a spot on the 53-man roster, and one receiver in particular made a big play on Tuesday to do just that.

Wide receiver Roman Wilson tracked down a deep ball from Aaron Rodgers for a big gain, as reported by Brendan Howe of Steelers Now.

“During a two-minute-type team period towards the...

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League.

Today, it’s the new contract Steelers general manager Omar Khan handed out to tight end Darnell Washington on Wednesday, making the big man the 12th-highest-paid tight end in the NFL, despite being primarily a blocker.

Good move? Alan breaks it down:

The Green Bay Packers have plenty of reasons to hate the Chicago Bears. Last year, Green Bay collapsed against Chicago in the playoffs after losing Micah Parsons and other key contributors during the back half of the season. The Packers will also see Caleb Williams’ face on the cover of Madden this season. The NFL’s most iconic rivalry could get even better in 2026.

Packers cornerback Keisean Nixon was asked about the team’s rivalry with the Bears during a recent interview. He confirmed that Green Bay still has a bad taste in its mouth after how last season ended.

“Yeah,...

The Seattle Seahawks will enter the new season with only one goal in mind: Defend the title. The Seahawks made an inspired run to the championship last season, winning the crown for the first time since 2014.

Not many expected Seattle, which had a 14-3 record, to hoist the Vince Lombardi Trophy, but coach Mike Macdonald made everybody buy into the system, with quarterback Sam Darnold, running back Kenneth Walker III, wide receivers Cooper Kupp and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, safety Nick Emmanwori, and cornerback Devon Witherspoon carrying the torch.

Except for Walker’s move to the Kansas City Chiefs, the team retained...

On Thursday, the Detroit Lions will close out Week 2 of Organized Team Activities. It’s their sixth practice of OTAs, and it will be the second with media present at Allen Park. That means more Dan Campbell, more additional media sessions, and a full report of observations coming later on Thursday afternoon.

Last week, we got some answers to questions. We got vague injury updates from Campbell, a list of players who participated in practice (based on our own observations), and an idea of what the depth chart may look like based on just one day of practice—although Campbell urged...

Former New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson announced Wednesday that he’s hanging up his pads.

Wilson is ending a decorated playing career and stepping into broadcasting, joining the CBS pregame show “NFL Today as an analyst.

“As I enter this next chapter with CBS Sports and ‘The NFL Today,’ I’m so blessed to continue doing what I love most — being around the greatest game in the world,”

Once deemed “too short” to be an NFL quarterback, Wilson was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks out of Wisconsin in the third round of the 2012 NFL Draft. Despite being the...
