This afternoon (or morning, for those on the west coast), the Green Bay Packers will travel to the Detroit Lions as 8.5 (!!) point underdogs for the first time since 2017, and only the second time since 1972! So, if the Packers want to pull off an unlikely victory (or be in this game at all), having key players available is a must. With injuries this year to star left tackle, David Bakhtiari (who remains on IR), Jaire Alexander, Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon, the Packers have had plenty of reasons to cross their fingers these past few weeks. Now,…

Shaquille Leonard, former All-Pro off-the-ball linebacker for the Indianapolis Colts, was released in a shocking move yesterday. Now, despite teams having to pay the comparatively modest sum of $6.1 million – for an All-Pro, that is – to claim him off of waivers, no teams have chosen to do so. This means that the Indianapolis Colts must absorb this $6.1 million hit, and Leonard is free to sign wherever he wants, per Ian Rapoport. #Colts LB Shaq Leonard has cleared waivers and is officially a free agent, source said. Indy picks up the $6.1M he has left on his contract…

Tomorrow night, on Thanksgiving, the Seattle Seahawks face-off against division rivals and current NFC West leaders, the San Francisco 49ers. They are currently 7 point underdogs in this home, late – slate matchup, so in order to have any chance against a back-in-form 49ers team, having their key players fit to play is crucial. Geno Smith and Kenneth Walker have important news regarding their playing statuses, per Adam Schefter. Seahawks’ HC Pete Carroll told reporters that QB Geno Smith is expected to play vs. the 49ers and RB Kenneth Walker is not. https://t.co/8qVeHU7vkf — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) November 22, 2023…

After suffering a foot sprain on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers, things were not looking good for Joey Bosa, who is part of the lethal (on paper at least) pass-rushing tandem for the Los Angeles Chargers, along with former Defensive Player Of The Year, Khalil Mack. Now, it seems that the bad news that many expected has indeed come to fruition, per Adam Schefter. Chargers officially placed OLB Joey Bosa on injured reserve, sidelining him a minimum of four games. — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) November 22, 2023 What This Means For The Los Angeles Chargers’ Defence Sadly, or I…

Kareem Jackson, the 35 year old veteran Denver Broncos safety, was issued a four game suspension on Monday after an illegal, head-to-head contact hit on Minnesota Vikings quarterback, Joshua Dobbs. In fact, the game against the Vikings was Jackson’s first since his prior suspension from a similar hit committed in the Broncos’ win earlier in the season against the Green Bay Packers. Now, Jackson and the Broncos have chosen to appeal the length of the suspension, and the jointly chosen – by the NFL and NFLPA – arbitration official, Derrick Brooks, has come to a decision. The 4-game suspension for…

Prior to last week’s win at the lowly Carolina Panthers, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver, Ceedee Lamb, was on a very impressive streak. He had managed over 150 yards receiving in each of the past 3 games, and over 110 yards in each of the past 4. So impressive was this feat that it actually managed to land Lamb in the NFL record books. Thus, the Cowboy faithful were understandably devastated when Lamb was forced off in the first half of their 33-10 win against Carolina with a sprained ankle. However, it seems like despite the quick turnaround, Lamb may well…

The New Orleans Saints are currently sitting atop the somewhat pitiful AFC South division with a 5-5 record after their Week 11 bye. Having received bad news after their Week 10 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, will now be officially down an offensive weapon in the passing game for at least the next 4 weeks, per Adam Schefter. Saints placed WR Michael Thomas on injured reserve and signed WR Marquez Callaway to their practice squad. — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) November 21, 2023 How Will This Impact The New Orleans Saints’ Passing Offense? Michael Thomas, the 2019 Offensive Player Of The…

In what will undoubtedly be the most shocking news of the entire day, the Indianapolis Colts have released 3 x First Team All-Pro, 4 x Pro Bowler and former Defensive Rookie Of The Year, Shaquille Leonard, per Ian Rapoport. The #Colts have released Darius Leonard. Unreal. He heads to waivers. https://t.co/DCnBlc4wek — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) November 21, 2023 Why Was Shaquille Leonard Released? Initially, this seems like an incredulous move for a team with few bona-fide superstars that is rebuilding behind their impressive rookie quarterback – before his season-ending injury, Anthony Richardson – and still in the hunt for a…

Ever since benching current starter, Mac Jones, prior to the final game drive against the Indianapolis Colts – and just after another dreadful interception against a very poor, injured Colts secondary – head coach Bill Belichick has been coy about the future of Mac Jones status as the starter, and of the quarterback position in general for the remainder of the season Now, per Adam Schefter, it looks like Belichick once again is keeping his cards close to his chest. Asked this morning who would be the Patriots’ starting QB on Sunday vs. the Giants, Bill Belichick said: “I’ve told…

Caleb Williams, the quarterback (and now former quarterback) of the University of Southern California, has bowed out of college – unofficially at least, as he is widely expected to leave USC and enter the 2023 NFL Draft as an underclassmen, where he is believed to be an almost certain top 5, if not top 2 pick. USC loses it’s third straight game to UCLA, 38-20 Caleb Williams: 31-42, 384 YDs, 1 TD, 1 INT Was this the final game of Williams’ college career? pic.twitter.com/48ZBRWG2Je — Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) November 19, 2023 How Was Caleb Williams’ Final Game For The USC…
