Ravens head coach John Harbaugh has found some silver linings to Lamar Jackson‘s absence from practice at training camp when it comes to getting backups ready to play, but the hope in Baltimore is that they won’t be needing Trace McSorley or Tyler Huntley on the field come the regular season.

Kareem Hunt: Nick Chubb and I can keep each other fresh August 4, 2021

Brian Flores: I think Tua Tagovailoa is taking more shots downfield August 4, 2021
One of the several criticisms Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa faced in his rookie year was that he didn’t take enough downfield shots. Tagovailoa finished the season 30th among 35 qualified passers at 6.3 yards per attempt. He was just behind Pittsburgh’s Ben Roethlisberger and just ahead of Washington’s Alex Smith. So as Tagovailoa enters his […]
Andrew Cuomo report exposes the flaw in NFL’s handling of Washington Football Team investigation August 4, 2021

The Texans’ Deshaun Watson strategy is doing David Culley no favors August 4, 2021
The Texans presumably have a plan in place when it comes to their handling of quarterback Deshaun Watson. They apparently have not shared it with new coach David Culley.

Ravens sign Michael Dereus, waive Chauncey Rivers August 4, 2021
Baltimore has added some depth at wide receiver. The Ravens announced on Wednesday morning that they’ve signed Michael Dereus. As Jeff Zrebiec of TheAthletic.com pointed out, Baltimore needed to add at the position because Marquise Brown and Miles Boykin are both dealing with hamstring injuries. First-round pick Rashod Bateman has also been sidelined by some […]
Mohamed Sanu’s second stint with the 49ers seems to be going a lot better than the first August 4, 2021
Receiver Mohamed Sanu‘s career fell off a cliff after being traded from the Falcons to the Patriots for a second-round pick during the 2019 regular season.

Penei Sewell: First padded practice like first sip of water in the desert August 4, 2021
Before this year’s draft, Penei Sewell described himself as someone who comes off the ball with “violent intentions” and that helped convince the Lions to take him with the seventh overall pick. Sewell has been installed as the team’s right tackle, but he had to keep those violent intentions under wraps for quite a while. […]
J.T. Ibe: I didn’t mean to hit Keith Kirkwood like that August 4, 2021
Tuesday’s Panthers practice came to a halt during team drills because a hit by safety J.T. Ibe to the head of wide receiver Keith Kirkwood when he was coming down from trying to catch a pass left the wideout in need of medical attention. Kirkwood was taken to the hospital in an ambulance and would […]
Calvin Ridley: Our receivers can do it all August 4, 2021
Julio Jones is in training camp with the Titans, which means there’s a different look for the Falcons receiving corps this season.

There’s also first-round […]
