A report on Saturday indicated the Bengals would give running back Chase Brown a pregame workout before deciding on his status for their game against the Steelers, but it did not go as hoped.

Oregon State football has added another marquee addition to its offseason transfer portal haul. On Saturday, the Beavers landed a transfer commitment from Portland native and former Miami sophomore tight end Riley Williams.

Pritchett (6-foot-6, 327 pounds) won a competition with Wilkin Formby for Alabama’s starting right tackle position in 2024, but struggled in the role, particularly in pass protection. He allowed five sacks and 21 quarterback hurries in the regular season, per Pro Football …

The Steelers are playing for playoff positioning, while the Bengals need a win to keep their postseason hopes alive.  Pittsburgh (10-6) will already know whether or not it can win the AFC North by …

It will be the answer to a trivia question someday: “When Lamar Jackson became the first quarterback in NFL history to throw for more than 4,000 yards and rush for 800 yards, which team did it come against?” Such infamy seems to always come the way of the Cleveland Browns, who Jackson added another page in the record books on …

Photo: Isaiah Hole Michigan football is in desperate need of wide receivers for the new era, and though it’s added one in former Indiana wideout Donaven McCulley, it’s also lost one in junior Tyler Morris. Perhaps ironically, it ended up being something of a trade of sorts. Things had been awfully quiet for Morris in terms of the transfer portal, …

Timothy T Ludwig / Getty Images New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ third quarter interception to Buffalo Bills cornerback Christian Benford in the Jets’ 40-14 Week 17 road loss ended up being costly in more ways than one.  It was his second of the game in a blowout loss, and it led to Rodgers’ being called for an unnecessary roughness …

CANNONSBURG Raceland’s Linden Sammons is a man of few words. But he doesn’t need words. He lets his actions do the talking, and it doesn’t take any deciphering to get the message of what Sammons is about. “What you see from Linden is what you get,” Raceland coach Mike Salmons said. “He is a tireless worker. He was tremendous in …

The Saints won’t have Kendre Miller (concussion) and probably won’t have Alvin Kamara (groin). That leaves them short-handed at running back. They activated Clyde Edwards-Helaire from the practice squad Saturday to help fill in, along with Jamaal Williams. Kamara, who has not played since injuring his groin in a Dec. 15 game against the Commanders, is doubtful. Edwards-Helaire played 26 …
