Pittsburgh Steelers veteran wide receiver Diontae Johnson expects to return from his hamstring injury in Week 7. Johnson has missed most of the season after suffering a hamstring injury in the third quarter of his team’s Week 1 clash with the San Francisco 49ers. The 27-year-old logged three receptions for 48 yards before departing. Johnson was pacing the Steelers in most receiving categories at the time of injury. https://twitter.com/FarabaughFB/status/1711481631767195680 Diontae Johnson has spent the past five seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

P.J. Walker is next up for the Cleveland Browns if star quarterback Deshaun Watson can’t go in Week 6 against the San Francisco 49ers. Watson remains day-to-day while nursing a shoulder injury he suffered in Week 3 against the Tennessee Titans. The franchise cornerstone missed their Week 4 game against the Baltimore Ravens before the team enjoyed a bye last Sunday. Rookie quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson drew the start, but his poor performance more than likely led to P.J. Walker jumping him on the depth chart. The Browns lost 28-3 in their first game without Watson available. https://twitter.com/jasrifootball/status/1711796618721112119 P.J. Walker Career…

The Indianapolis Colts are preparing for life without Anthony Richardson at the helm. The rookie quarterback suffered an AC joint injury in last Sunday’s win over the Tennessee Titans. Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reports it as a Grade 3 sprain that could lead to Richardson landing on the IR. The six-foot-four dual-threat quarterback was 9-for-12 for 98 yards before his departure in Week 5. https://twitter.com/MikeGarafolo/status/1711762224488841229 Richardson has impressed this season, tallying seven touchdowns against one pick to start his career. However, with Richardson potentially heading for a lengthy absence, the Colts will work out multiple quarterbacks to add…

When asked if he wanted star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb to get more targets, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was uncertain. Despite his resume and prolific playing ability, Lamb has yet to post his usual gaudy numbers this season. Jones would like to see the team utilize the entirety of the offense, per Jon Machota of The Athletic. The Cowboys also feature tight end Jake Ferguson and wide receivers Michael Gallup and Brandin Cooks. However, despite an aging Cooks, the Cowboys lack outside talent that matches the explosiveness of Lamb. https://twitter.com/jasrifootball/status/1711775403059081286 CeeDee Lamb’s Slow Start The Oklahoma product has eclipsed…

The Miami Dolphins’ De’Von Achane continues to take football by storm during his rookie campaign. The human highlight reel became the first player in the Super Bowl era to score at least seven touchdowns in his first four career games, per NFL Research. The Giants’ Bill Pachal scored eight times in his first four games of the 1943 season, but the fullback did it in the pre-Super Bowl era. Paschal led the NFL in rushing touchdowns in 1943 and 1944, accumulating 19 during that span. https://twitter.com/B_Shousejr/status/1711352779166331189 De’Von Achane Running Wild Despite seeing limited action, De’Von Achane has been a star…

The Chicago Bears have re-signed quarterback Nathan Peterman to the practice squad ahead of their Week 6 tilt against the Minnesota Vikings. The Pitt Panthers product spent the pre-season with the Bears but got released in favor of Tyson Bagent for the backup quarterback position. Peterman resigned with Chicago as the third-string option behind Bagent and former first-round pick Justin Fields but was released last week to make room for Teven Jenkins on the active roster. The 29-year-old will rejoin the NFC North club as a practice squad member. https://twitter.com/TomPelissero/status/1711425953421832529 Nathan Peterman: Career Outlook Nathan Peterman played in two games…

The Pittsburgh Steelers will have quarterback Kenny Pickett available in Week 5. The gunslinger was limited in practice earlier this week before practicing in full on Thursday. He has since got the green light heading into Pittsbugh’s Sunday matchup against divisional foe Baltimore. Pickett left last week’s contest at Houston after getting sacked on 4th-and-1 in the third quarter of his team’s 30-6 loss. The former first-round pick struggled mightily in defeat, finishing the game 15-of-23 for 114 yards and one pick with no touchdowns. Former Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky went 3-for-5 for 18 yards in relief. https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1710363066985041960 Kenny…

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham will return to the gridiron in Week 5, per Jonas Shaffer of the Baltimore Banner. Beckham has missed multiple weeks this season after suffering an ankle injury in the Ravens Week 2 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. The wideout snagged five catches for 66 yards on seven targets before being sidelined. The three-time Pro-Bowler has turned in three consecutive limited practices this week in preparation for his team’s battle with rival Pittsburgh on Sunday. https://twitter.com/LIVERavenNation/status/1710352191276327312 Odell Beckham pre-Ravens Beckham was out of football for the entirety of the 2022 season after suffering a torn…
