The Packers have gone most of the season without wide receiver Jayden Reed, who underwent clavicle and foot surgeries in mid-September. With the Packers off to a 5-2-1 start and leading the ultra-competitive NFC North, Reed could act as a second-half reinforcement for the team. Reed’s foot injury has fully healed, though his clavicle isn’t 100% yet, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Thanks in part to Reed’s three-catch, 45-yard, one-touchdown effort in Week 1, the Packers coasted to a 27-13 win over the division rival Lions. They’re due to face each other again on Thanksgiving. If...

The Seattle Seahawks aim to advance to a 7-2 record when they take on the Arizona Cardinals in Week 10. However, it sounds like the defense is facing an uphill battle, as Jarran Reed’s latest injury update sparks bad news for the franchise.

Reed, who is 32 years old, is officially ruled out for Sunday’s contest against the Cardinals, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The 10-year pro is said to be dealing with injuries in his wrist and thumb.

“Seahawks downgraded DT Jarran Reed to out for Sunday’s game vs. Arizona due to wrist and thumb injuries.”

This will be...

The Rams announced on Saturday that they have elevated K Harrison Mevis to be their starter in Week 10, along with veteran LS Jake McQuaide.

Mevis will start over K Joshua Karty, who has struggled with missed kicks this season.

Mevis, 23, is nicknamed “The Thiccer Kicker” due to his size of 5’11 243 pounds. He went undrafted out of Missouri in 2024 before catching on with Carolina.

After being released by the Panthers, he spent the 2025 spring season with the Birmingham Stallions of the UFL, then had a stint with the Jets during the offseason.

In 2025, Mevis...

The Arizona Cardinals benched quarterback Kyler Murray this week, placing him on injured reserve to create a clearer path for Jacoby Brissett to take over as the start. Now amid recent reports out of Arizona, it’s evident that Murray’s tenure with the Cardinals will likely be over in a matter of months.

Following reporting by ESPN‘s Adam Schefter that Murray’s future with the franchise is bleak, with the two sides expected to discuss his future, it’s time to start thinking about potential landing spots for him. While he hasn’t recaptured the form we saw a few seasons ago, there would...

Injuries have taken another blow to the Seattle Seahawks’ defense ahead of their Week 10 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Saturday that Seahawks veteran defensive tackle Jarran Reed has been downgraded to out with wrist and thumb injuries. Reed fully practiced every day this week and didn’t even have an injury designation, so this is a surprise. This will be the first game that Reed has missed since 2023, when he was held out of a game against the Cardinals in Week 18 with a knee injury.

Reed has been a staple along the Seahawks’...

NOVEMBER 8: The Browns activated Tillman from IR on Saturday, per a team announcement, clearing the way for him to return on Sunday against the Jets. Cleveland also signed safety Christopher Edmonds to the active roster from the practice squad. He appeared on special teams in two games in 2024 as an undrafted rookie but has yet to take the field this season.

NOVEMBER 3: The Browns designated wide receiver Cedric Tillman to return from injured reserve on Monday, per a team announcement. Cleveland also released veteran safety Damontae Kazee from the 53-man roster.

Tillman started the first four games...

Texas Tech football is one last-minute road loss away from a perfect record and first-place standing in the underrated Big 12 Conference. The Red Raiders are eyeing their first 10-win campaign since the late great Mike Leach roamed the sidelines in Lubbock and are one of only two programs that currently rank in the top-five in both points scored and points allowed. Alas, Joey McGuire’s boys have not received a ton of national praise, with focus still revolving around the Big Ten and SEC. Pairing Patrick Mahomes with Pat McAfee inside Jones AT&T Stadium is a good way to change...

Browns OC Tommy Rees, who was handed over play-calling duties, said he’ll put a different spin on the offense while maintaining their core principles.

“There’s a lot of areas we need to improve,” Rees said, via PFT. “*The passing game, like we’ve said from the jump, takes all 11. We want to stress defenses in probably some ways we haven’t been able to or not able to connect on. Feature the guys we can lean on and make our quarterback feel comfortable. The bye weeks are always great. We needed the reset to kind of look at things,...

The Texans are now in must-win territory after dropping several games they had a chance to win late in the fourth quarter.

Houston’s defense might be the best in the entire league this year, but it doesn’t matter if they can’t score points on a consistent basis. The Texans’ offensive line hasn’t been able to perform against good defensive fronts, which puts quarterback C.J. Stroud in an extremely tough spot.

Stroud has the potential to be an elite quarterback in this league, but it’s hard to elevate your game when everything around you has regressed. Offensive coordinator Nick Caley has...

The Falcons prepare for a meeting against a team that’s had their number more than almost any other team in the league in the Indianapolis Colts.

The last four meetings have resulted in the spoils being shared, with Atlanta winning in 2011 and 2023. When you consider the historic context of this matchup, that’s an immense accomplishment for the Falcons, who had only ever beaten Indianapolis one time — during their 14-win season in 1998 — before that 2011 game, where rookie Julio Jones had two impressive touchdowns and a coming out party.

Dating back to their time in Baltimore,...

The NFL season is an evolving state of affairs, and week 10 finds your 5-3 Chicago Bears on the verge of making a run and solidifying their playoff chances. This week’s battle against an NFC foe will be huge for playoff standings at the end of the year.

In this weekly series, I’ll be featuring one player from each team on each side of the ball who I believe to be integral to their respective team’s success. It’s not always about the quarterback or superstar defensive players like Myles Garrett and Brian Burns. Importance is all relative, and while the...
