A look at the Detroit Lions’ injury replacement options at cornerback, and Dan Campbell’s thoughts on each.

For the second straight week, the Detroit Lions are expected to be without a starting outside cornerback. Last week, Lions rookie Terrion Arnold missed the Colts game with a groin injury. While it appears he’s on track to return for Thanksgiving against the Chicago Bears, coach Dan Campbell expressed doubt in the availability of No. 1 cornerback Carlton Davis this week after he suffered a knee injury on Sunday.

That said, the Lions have a lot of options, and Campbell expressed confidence in...

Kickers are hitting an unprecedented 73% of field goals 50 yards or longer this year, but that hasn’t stopped a spate of crucial misses on shorter kicks.

It sure didn’t feel like a home game...

You could feel the energy in Lucas Oil as the Indianapolis Colts hosted the Detroit Lions. As a pass was made over the middle, the crowd roared. When there was a tackle for loss, the building shook. Those are things you expect on gameday for the Colts. The only problem was it wasn’t the home team fans bringing that type of energy. Just a short 4.5 hour drive away, Lions fans made the trek to cheer on their team and seemingly turned a road game into a matchup from Ford Field.

The Pittsburgh Steelers fan base is one of the biggest in the NFL, so it’s no surprise the Steelers had two players land in the top 50 of merchandise sales in a list put out by the NFL Players Association, tallying totals from March 1, 2024 to Aug. 31, 2024. OLB T.J. Watt came in […]

Los Angeles Chargers running back J.K. Dobbins has been having a terrific year, with eight touchdowns and 4.8 yards per carry.

But he’s going to miss some time, per Ian Rapoport, with a knee sprain he suffered on Monday, meaning he’ll miss this week’s game against the Atlanta Falcons, at least. Beyond that? No info as of publishing this, but it sounds like it could be a multi-week injury.

So what does that mean for the Chargers’ running back room in fantasy football? Great question! Let’s examine their current RBs and how their stock is affected by the Dobbins knee...

Let’s take at what’s gone on around the league in the last week.

The Carolina Panthers actually garnered a fair bit of national attention over the weekend after taking the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs down to the wire. Bryce Young went toe to toe with Patrick Mahomes and had the best game of his young career. While that was happening, some of the rest of the NFL completely lost their minds. Let’s get into it.

Who played and who didn’t during the Denver Broncos 29-19 win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12.

The Denver Broncos game-day inactives against the Las Vegas Riaders were Zach Wilson, Kris Abrams-Draine, Nick Gargiulo, Frank Crum, Calvin Throckmorton, Greg Dulcich, and Zach Allen. Greg Dulcich was released and is now on the New York Giants.

Offense

The entire OL and QB played all of the offensive snaps. Matt Peart played 9 snaps as the 6th offensive lineman.

Javonte Williams got 38 snaps as RB1, but his 10 touches resulted in 4 total yards (-2 rushing and 6...

In another losing season, there is hope on the horizon for the Chicago Bears. For that, I am thankful.

This might be the most difficult question posed to Chicago Bears fans this season: what are you thankful for?

There is so much to feel cynical about. So much to be angry about. So much to be frustrated about. Bears fandom feels like the movie Groundhog Day, except we are all Bill Murray, and Punxsutawney Phil is a Head Coach that’s only elite trait is ruining quarterbacks.

It’s been a rough go with little to cheer for since Urlacher, Briggs, Tillman,...

Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers are increasingly involving QB Justin Fields into their gameplan. Over the past two weeks, he has played 10 snaps, though they have achieved very mixed results. At the end of the day, the Steelers are banking on the change-up being a bigger problem for the defense than it is […]

Walker had one of his best games against the 49ers. Can it be a stepping stone?

Quay Walker’s Packers career hasn’t quite lived up to his first-round billing. Explosive and athletic, Walker would have been the perfect sidekick for De’Vondre Campbell had Campbell’s play not fallen off a cliff after signing a rich new contract in 2022 — and if Walker had held up his end of the bargain.

Outside of his spectacular pick-six in Week 1 of the 2023 season, Walker has largely been a liability on defense. His most notable hits have been on non-players, and he’s consistently...

The ex-Patriots and ex-Colts in the fold for Sunday at Gillette Stadium.

A long line of former New England Patriots reside in the fold for the Indianapolis Colts.

But the connections flow both directions between the active rosters, practice squads and reserve lists entering Week 13.

Here’s a glance through the past and present names ahead of Sunday’s 1 p.m. ET kickoff at Gillette Stadium.
