We’re getting close to the end of the regular season in Silver and Black Pride’s Mendoza Mania series, diving into new Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Fernando Mendoza’s Week 12 matchup against Wisconsin.

Indiana cruised to a 31-7 victory in this one, thanks to one of the best stat lines the Heisman Trophy winner had during the 2025 campaign, completing 22 of 24 passing attempts (91.7%) for 299 yards and four touchdowns with no interceptions.

While Mendoza had a handful of impressive throws against the Badgers, including a pair of “big-time throws” according to Pro Football Focus, how he handled working...

Three members of the New England Patriots are set to begin training camp on the sidelines.

Edge defender Harold Landry and tight end C.J. Dippre were both placed on the physically unable to perform list (PUP) on Tuesday, with running back Terrell Jennings moving to the non-football injury/illness list (NFI). Despite those designations, all three remain on the Patriots’ active 90-man roster.

What those labels do show, however, is that the trio is not yet able to participate in practice. Once their statuses change, they can come off the respective lists at any point and immediately join their teammates on...

Eagles

• Per Olivia Reiner of the Inquirer, Eagles first-round WR Makai Lemon said he’s “feeling great” and will be “100 percent” ready to go when the team opens training camp on July 29th.
• Lemon explained what his offseason has been like after being a first-round selection: “Just working on my craft, just trying to get the playbook down. Just making sure I’m ready so when I go out there, it’s lights out.” (Reiner)
• The rookie was clear about what he’s taken from the veteran players in their little time together: *“Just how to take care of...

Per the wire, the Seahawks hosted four players for tryouts, including CB Deantre Prince.

The other three players working out for the Seahawks were WR Malik Heath, DB Brandon Johnson, and DB A’Marion McCoy.

Prince, 25, was a fifth-round pick by the Jaguars in the 2024 draft out of Mississippi. He signed a four-year, $4.4 million rookie deal through 2027 but was let go at the end of camp last year.

In 2024, Prince appeared in 10 games for the Jaguars and recorded eight total tackles and one pass defended.

Heath, 26, played at community college before transferring to Mississippi...

According to the NFL transaction wire, the Patriots placed OLB Harold Landry and TE CJ Dippre on the active/PUP list to start camp.

New England also put RB Terrell Jennings on the active/non-football injury list.

Players on the active injury lists still count against the 90-man roster and can come off at any time once they pass a physical. If still on the list by roster cutdowns, they must miss the first four games.

Landry, 30, is a former second-round pick of the Titans back in 2018. He played out the final year of his four-year, $6,733,690 contract that included...

The Arizona Cardinals are hosting five tryout players, per the NFL’s Official Transaction Wire.

The following is a list of players trying out with Arizona:

1. P Jack Browning
2. DE Kameron Hamilton
3. DT Coziah Izzard
4. P Brad Robbins
5. DT Jaquelin Roy

Browning, 24, signed with the Bills as an undrafted free agent out of San Diego State following the 2024 NFL Draft. He was waived and caught on with the Ravens for camp before being waived again.

Browning spent the 2024 season back and forth from the Buccaneers’ active roster and practice squad.

In 2024, Browning...

It appears that L.A. Rams’ receivers Jordan Whittington and Konata Mumpfield will have some serious competition for Sean McVay’s number three spot, because rookie C.J. Daniels has traits that make him one of the most intriguing players to watch in training camp this year.

Although he was only the 197th pick in the draft, Daniels shares a couple of traits in common with the Rams’ two biggest stars at the position: Puka Nacua and Davante Adams.

Even if Daniels doesn’t become an NFL superstar like those two, Les Snead clearly traded a few late picks to move up for him...

Bills

Bill LT Dion Dawkins made a note on social media of his weight heading into the season, saying he will be the lightest he has been since entering the league.

“I’ll play the lightest I’ve ever played the game this season, since my rookie year. I’ve been walking, boxing, training, getting this weight off, man, cause they’re trying to tell me that I ain’t Top 10,” Dawkins said to NFL Network. *“Every year, you put your body through different things, and I chose to put my body through a different thing. This year, I got goals, and I...

Happy Tuesday one and all.

The Arizona Cardinals kick off training camp tomorrow, June 22, 2026 and the first open practice will be on Friday.

As we continue to get ready for camp, one question we have is who breaks out in 2026?

We saw Trey McBride breakout in year three, we saw a pseudo breakout in year three for...

While Detroit Lions defensive coordinator heads into 2026 with plenty to prove, the young coach has apparently already drawn a lot of attention from other team’s coaches and general managers.

Over at The Athletic, NFL reporter and analyst Jordan Rodrigue put together a list of assistant coaches from every team who could break out in 2026. Not only did she list Sheppard as her choice for the Lions, but she added a pretty interesting note from earlier this offseason.

“At league meetings in the spring, Sheppard was among the assistant coaches drawing buzz among head coaches and general managers,” Rodriguez...

Vic Tafur of The Athletic did not hold back on the current state of the Pittsburgh Steelers. He thinks the Steelers have turned into an unserious organization.

“It’s not the sexiest storyline, but the Steelers are shooting for their 20th straight non-losing season, but this time without Mike Tomlin,” Tafur wrote. “Aaron Rodgers, 42, decided he wanted to come back, and the Steelers aren’t a serious organization, so they said sure.

“There is enough defensive talent here, and I really like the addition of Michael Pittman Jr., so congratulations to Pittsburgh. Nine wins and they’re irrelevant once again.”

Tafur is...
