The last four and a half weeks have been a roller coaster ride for Cleveland Browns left tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. After two consecutive weeks playing every snap, Wills hyperextended his left knee in Week 7 but managed to play every snap. He would not play in Week 8 because he wasn’t healthy enough to play and garnered controversy after saying he made a “business decision” for not playing that week, but his comments were misconstrued.

The New England Patriots placed their former 1st-round pick, Cole Strange, on the reserve/physically unable to perform (PUP) list to start the 2024 season to continue rehabbing from last season’s torn patellar tendon in Week 15. Since then, Strange has yet to practice or play in 2024 as the Patriots’ offensive line unit continues to struggle and consistently ranks last in PFF’s O-Line rankings week to week. The O-line would benefit from him returning to the starting lineup. Also Read: New England Patriots: Placed 2 Offensive Starters on PUP List The good news is he’s inching closer to a return. The New…
Overall, the Dallas Cowboys pass rush has been a letdown throughout the first 11 weeks of the 2024 regular season. So far, the Cowboys rank T-23th in sacks, T-16th in pressures, and 25th in pass rush win rate.

Highlighting one of their EDGE rushers who has missed at least four games is their promising rookie. The Dallas Cowboys’ 2nd round rookie hasn’t played since Week 5 Marshawn Kneeland suffered a…
The 4-7 Cincinnati Bengals will not play this week because they are on a BYE. During the BYE week, the Bengals must figure out how to solve their pass-defense issues to stay alive in playoff contention. So far, the pass defense has been atrocious, allowing the seventh-most passing yards and sixth-most passing touchdowns through 11 weeks. Their pass defense will be tested for the rest of the season since two of their top cornerbacks are out for the season or an extended period. Their second-year player is the most recent cornerback who could miss the rest of 2024. The Cincinnati…
After Cincinnati Bengals’ former first-round pick, Dax Hill, suffered a season-ending ACL tear in Week 5 against the Baltimore Ravens, second-round pick from 2023, DJ Turner II emerged as the starting outside cornerback. Since then, Turner started the last six games in Hill’s stead and played well in relief. He recorded 29 tackles and eight pass deflections, allowing 23 receptions on 42 targets for 395 yards, one touchdown, and a 94.8 passer rating in coverage, per Pro Football Reference. Unfortunately, the promising second-year defender’s 2024 campaign could be cut short due to injury. The Cincinnati Bengals CB injured his clavicle on…

The Kansas City Chiefs receiving corps remains a problem for the offense. The main issue with the Chiefs wide receiver woes is injuries to the position since two of their top receivers are either out for the regular season (Hollywood Brown) or the rest of the season (Rashee Rice). For them to make a deep playoff run, one of their wideouts, possibly DeAndre Hopkins, must step up and take over as Patrick Mahomes’ leading receiver. Following the Chiefs’ loss to the Bills, they signed a young speedster to the practice squad. The Kansas City Chiefs added a former second-round pick…
