Officially official. My first @bsky.app post.

Jay-Z it is! Perfect.

Raiders coach Klint Kubiak made clear that “there is no controversy” — Kirk Cousins will start this week. As for Fernando Mendoza, “Fernando is going to play at some point, but it’s not going to be this week.”

Meanwhile, coach Mike Macdonald announced that they're opening the window for Seahawks RB Jadarian Price. Help is on the way.

Seahawks OT Charles Cross, who suffered an ankle injury on Sunday, has a high-ankle sprain and will miss time, the MRI revealed. The hope is he’s back in 1-2 weeks, but it depends on how rehab goes.

Significant news in the coaching agent world: Respected agent Sean Kiernan joins WIN Sports Group, working with Clint Dowdle and Jacques McClendon. During the last 6 cycles, Kiernan has represented multiple NFL HCs and more NFL GMs than any other agent.

Packers LB Zaire Franklin, who missed last week’s game after getting accidentally kicked in practice, suffered a hairline fracture in his leg, sources say. Green Bay did not place him on Injured Reserve, and they believe he can return while missing minimal games.

The Patriots are releasing their punter from the previous three seasons, Bryce Baringer, source says. He’s been on Injured Reserve, but is healthy now.

Packers C Sean Rhyan, who left Sunday’s game with an ankle injury, is believed to have suffered a high-ankle sprain, sources say. X-Rays were negative, and he has an MRI today. But high-ankle sprains are often 4-6 week injuries

The Dolphins get their first win for head coach Jeff Hafley.

Earning back his spot.

Ravens LB Roquan Smith (knee) is questionable to return.

CJ Stroud to Marvin Harrison Jr. has a familiar ring.

Giants RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. is questionable to return with a hamstring injury.

Something you NEVER see: A blocked PAT turns into Zyon McCollum's 2-pointer.

No WRs? No problem. A Kaelon Black 30-yard TD run.

Baker is back and the Bucs are 🔥 Calijah Kancey scoop and score.

Officially inactive.

Here is the glove Bucs QB Baker Mayfield will wear to protect his dislocated thumb, with thanks to the Tampa Bay Rays training staff.

Before he was placed on IR, Chiefs LT Josh Simmons was told to leave a team meeting by coach Andy Reid and QB Patrick Mahomes. The back story from me and Mike Garafolo.

Darnell Washington is ridiculous. How?

Seahawks defenders LB Uchenna Nwosu (hip) and S Nick Emmanwori (hip) are both listed as questionable and both expected to go, sources say.

Broncos star CB Pat Surtain II, who has missed the last two games with an ankle injury, is unlikely to play today, source says. But there’s a good chance he’s back next week.

Browns S Grant Delpit cleared the NFL’s concussion protocol and will play today. Meanwhile, CB Denzel Ward will warm up and see if he can go. Ward is questionable with a hand injury.

Jets star RB Breece Hall, attempting to return from a quad strain after missing three games, is unlikely to play today, sources say. He may work out to see if he can go, but Hall hasn’t been a full participant yet. It's a bit early.

Cardinals S Budda Baker (groin/illness) is listed as questionable and expected to play against the Broncos, source says.

Falcons DE Za’Darius Smith (neck) and DT Gervon Dexter Sr. (hamstring) are listed as questionable and both are expected to go, sources say. Much less optimism for Olamide Zaccheaus (shoulder).

The Browns and standout DT Maliek Collins have agreed to terms on a 2-year extension for $30M with $23M in total guarantees, agent Drew Rosenhaus tells me and Adam Schefter.

— The Broncos activated RB Jonah Coleman from IR and OLB Jonathon Cooper from the exempt list. — The 49ers activated WR Christian Kirk to make his debut. — The Vikings activated RB Jordan Mason off injured reserve to their 53-man roster.

The Seahawks have activated RB Zach Charbonnet from the PUP list, a significant move.

Chiefs head athletic trainer Rick Burkholder tells reporters that LT Josh Simmons (bulging disc) is going to be placed on IR. Via @bynatetaylor.bsky.social, Burkholder said: "Worked his tail off & diligent every day. However, we feel he has plateaued in the rehab process."

JJ McCarthy is the new Giants starter.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says, “We welcome it” with regards to the NFLPA asking for an investigation on Jalen Hurts’ medical situation.

Source: The Giants are releasing RB Najee Harris, another RB shakeup.

49ers WR Mike Evans (Achilles) has been ruled out for rest of game.

All hands on deck: Both #Commanders WR Stefon Diggs and 49ers WR Mike Evans are officially active tonight. Evans did not practice all week

Bad to worse: Rams star WR Davante Adams, who sustained a hamstring injury in last night’s loss to the Cardinals, is out 6-10 weeks.

Coach DeMeco Ryans just announced that WR Tank Dell is going to play on Sunday vs the Giants, his first game since December 2024.

From a football standpoint, Jalen Hurts should be able to recover after three months of treatment. The blood clot was "provoked" which means there was a cause -- getting cleated in his calf. That indicates it is a solvable issue with treatment and care

More details: What was originally believed to be a superficial blood clot was then revealed Saturday afternoon to be several blood clots in Jalen Hurts' lungs. At that point, it all changed. It is serious. It is scary. And Jalen Hurts should make a full recovery.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts, who is out for the season after several blood clots were revealed in his lungs. Before the London game, Hurts was in the hospital until 4 am and did not sleep because sleep was a risk. He played the game without having slept. Crazy.

The Colts have fired GM Chris Ballard.

Giants QB J.J. McCarthy threw for 243 yards in the 4th quarter despite coming off the bench. It’s the most passing yards in a 4th quarter by any player this season and the 2nd-most passing yards in a 4th quarter by any QB who didn't start over the last 25 seasons.
