49ers-Packers Game Statuses: Bad news on Purdy, Bosa

“I don’t want to say there’s long-term concern,” Shanahan said. “We thought he just needed some rest. Really weren’t concerned about him not being good this week, but when he started up Thursday, it surprised him, surprised us how it felt, so we had to shut him down.”

That’s not encouraging. Shanahan typically understates injury information with his quarterbacks. He also said that Purdy’s status is “up in the air for next week.”

Welcome to the Splash Zone, the quickest way to get your day started off right. We bring you a rundown of Miami Dolphins news from the last 24 hours.

The Miami Dolphins and the New England Patriots will be squaring off for the second time this season. In their previous game, the Dolphins came away with the victory with Tyler Huntley at quarterback. Now Tua Tagovailoa is back and he has been performing at a high level since his return. Patriots rookie quarterback, Drake Maye, has also been performing well these past few weeks. It will be a fun battle...

New York Giants All-Pro defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence is the closest thing the team has to a leader. As they continue to go through changes and transition, he knows he has to keep his emotions in check.

This week, the Giants made the decision to bench (and subsequently release) starting quarterback Daniel Jones and insert local favorite Tommy DeVito into the role.

That was a tough pill to swallow for Lawrence, who has become close with Jones since the Giants selected the pair in the first round of the 2019 NFL draft.

“Definitely hard, but I’ve been a part of...

Sacramento Kings head coach Mike Brown expressed deep frustration with his team’s performance in the first half on Friday night. The Kings struggled with sloppy play, sluggishness, and a lack of energy, ultimately falling 104-88 to the Los Angeles Clippers in an NBA Cup in-season tournament game at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood.

“They outcoached and outplayed us tonight, so we’ve got to give them their due respect,” the Kings head coach said towards the media.

The Kings found themselves in a 25 point hole and were unable to mount a comeback, even though they played a stronger second half...

Keep an eye on these players!

Here are the top NFL Draft prospects to keep an eye on this weekend! All listed kickoff times are Eastern.

Jack Sawyer, Edge Defender, Ohio State v. Indiana (12 PM on Fox)

Ohio State still has a clear path to the College Football Playoff but they need to hand Indiana their first loss of the season to get there. The Hoosiers have a lot of firepower on offense and slowing down that unit will be key for Ohio State to win the day. Jack Sawyer has been a force on the Buckeyes defensive...

The Colorado Rockies are reportedly finalizing a one-year contract with utility player Kyle Farmer, who was recently let go by the Minnesota Twins. The news, shared by MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand, has not yet been officially announced by the team.

The Minnesota Twins not picking up Kyle Farmer’s contract

Infielder Kyle Farmer and outfielder Manuel Margot officially entered free agency on Friday after the Minnesota Twins opted not to exercise their 2025 contract options.

Instead of receiving a $6.25 million salary for next season under a mutual option, Kyle Farmer will collect a $250,000 buyout, finalizing a one-year deal that...

Jimmy Garoppolo has yet to see action this season, but he’s doing what he can to help the Los Angeles Rams out. In fact, it looks like the veteran QB is playing a part in the development of the team’s defense. This was discussed in detail by head coach Sean McVay, who opened up about Garoppolo’s role with the scout team on Friday.

“I just think it’s the ability for him (Garoppolo) to be able to activate the parts of the field and make quick decisions,” McVay said, per Rams Media Center. “He has such a command too. Sometimes you...

After watching Rob Havenstein hold things down on the right side of the offensive line for much of the season, the Los Angeles Rams were forced to call on Warren McClendon Jr. as their starting right tackle for the first time since Week 2.

The results? Well, they were pretty good, much better than his initial efforts across Weeks 1-2.

So what gives? Has McClendon really improved over the past few weeks riding the bench? Or did the Rams come into Week 12 with a new strategy to keep Matthew Stafford upright? Well, offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur commented on what...

Here’s all you need to know about the Bears vs. Vikings game!

The Chicago Bears (4-6) host the Minnesota Vikings (8-2) on Sunday, and with any luck, we’ll get an old-fashioned ‘throw the record out the window’ division game because, on paper, the Vikes should win. They’ve been one of the league’s biggest surprises this season, while the Bears have been a big disappointment. Chicago hoped for a boost when they made a change at offensive coordinator, and it did perk the O up a bit last week, so let’s see what they have up their sleeves for Sunday.

*Here’s...

While fans of the Baltimore Ravens and Los Angeles Chargers eagerly prepare to watch their favorite teams face off on Monday Night Football, the prevailing narrative surrounding the showdown has to be the Harbaugh of it all, with John and Jim set to face off for the first time since the Super Bowl in February of 2013.

That’s right, after nearly a decade away, partially due to NFL scheduling, partially due to Jack’s younger son leaving the league for a run with his collegiate team, the University of Michigan, Harbaugh Bowl III is set for the Monday before Thanksgiving and...

The only saving grace of the Philadelphia 76ers’ nightmare start to the 2024-25 season has been the stellar play of rookie point guard Jared McCain. McCain has strung together quite a nice stretch; heading into their Friday night NBA Cup game against the Brooklyn Nets, the 20-year-old guard has scored 20 or more points in six consecutive games. And it is simply going swimmingly for the 16th overall pick of the 2024 NBA Draft, as he had another stellar outing in the 76ers’ much-needed 113-98 win over the Nets.

McCain, once again, looked like the 76ers’ best player on the...
