The days of Cardiac Caleb might be over – at least for the time being. Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams has a new (and equally difficult) job. He has to figure out how to protect his leads, an especially difficult task when his defense is as unreliable as it was on Thursday night in a 30-24 win over the New England Patriots at Soldier Field. Williams was terrific — except […]

No. 26 is back. Philadelphia Eagles star running back Saquon Barkley is expected to return to practice Thursday and play in the team's Monday night matchup at home against the Dallas Cowboys, NFL Media reported on Thursday morning. Barkley missed Philadelphia's last two games due to a hamstring injury that he suffered in the team's Week 4 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The Eagles have also been without running […]

The Week 7 NFL matchup between Chicago Bears and New England Patriots is set for Thursday, October 22, 2026, at 8:15 PM EDT at Soldier Field in Chicago. Chicago enters this game at 4-2, good for the No. 6 seed in the NFC and third place in the NFC North. The Bears have built that start behind a powerful ground game and a defense that has kept them in control […]

For the fourth consecutive year, eighth time in nine years and 10th time in 12 years, a quarterback went No. 1 in the NFL Draft: Fernando Mendoza to the Las Vegas Raiders.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker III is balling out for his new team, and that’s no surprise to Seattle Seahawks linebacker Ernest Jones IV. Jones observed Walker’s unique skill set up close, as the Memphis native put the Seattle offense on his back to lead the Seahawks to a Super Bowl victory just eight months ago, earning MVP honors. However, Seattle decided not to use the franchise tag […]

J.J. McCarthy is back under center for Harbaugh — just not the one he's used to. New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh is starting J.J. McCarthy at quarterback for the team's Week 7 road matchup against the Houston Texans (Oct. 25 at 1 p.m. ET on FOX), ESPN reported on Wednesday afternoon. McCarthy, whom the Giants acquired from the Minnesota Vikings last month for a 2027 fifth-round pick, threw […]

New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis said Wednesday he understands the recent criticism from owner Gayle Benson but asked for patience with what he called a "young developing team." Benson, in comments before the Saints (2-4) beat the New York Giants last Sunday, said Loomis and his staff are responsible for "building a roster capable of sustained success."

The New York Giants are releasing running back Najee Harris, according to a person with knowledge of the decision. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Tuesday because the move, which was first reported by NFL Network, had not been announced. Harris had just two carries for 4 yards in a 34-27 loss to New Orleans that dropped the Giants to 3-2-1. Coming off a torn […]
