Ravens head coach John Harbaugh provided an update on edge rusher David Ojabo’s return from a partially torn ACL on Thursday. Ojabo suffered the injury last September and had season-ending surgery in November, so it’s no surprise that he has not been cleared for football activities at this point. Harbaugh said that the current timeline has the team expecting to …

PHILADELPHIA — John Ross knows he’s as fast as he was when he ran a then-record 4.22 at the NFL Combine seven years ago. Ross knows it sounds crazy to say that, but he upped the ante. “I think I’m faster,” Ross said. Why does Ross think he’s faster? His mental state of mind is in the right place, no …

How Isaiah Rodgers came back better than ever after 512-day layoff originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia He didn’t have a team. He didn’t have a coach. He didn’t have teammates.  But he could pretend. So during his 512-day absence from football – from late in the 2022 season with the Colts until the start of OTAs last week with …

Getty Images PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Eagles are set to conclude organized team activities before the full mandatory minicamp begins next week. The team concluded their fifth of six OTA practices Thursday, the second of which was open to the media.  This practice mostly conducted of 7-on-7 drills and one 11-on-11 segment with some interesting depth chart observations. Mandatory minicamp …

Nine years ago, a group of NFL Sunday Ticket subscribers sued the league over a topic that has spawned antitrust litigation since the 1950s: Do NFL teams limiting how they compete in licensing broadcasts run afoul of antitrust law? That core legal question is headed for a jury trial set to begin next Wednesday in the Los Angeles courtroom of …

The 49ers used a third-round pick on guard Dominick Puni this year and that represented a departure from recent trends for the team. Puni is only the third offensive lineman drafted in the first three rounds — they also included a third-round pick in a trade for left tackle Trent Williams — since General Manager John Lynch and head coach …

Technically, the Broncos are letting three quarterbacks — Bo Nix, Jarrett Stidham, Zach Wilson — compete for the Week 1 starting job. As a practical matter, they’re hoping that the twelfth overall pick in the 2024 draft will win the job. And so, whenever Broncos coach Sean Payton speaks to reporters, he’ll be asked about Nix’s development. Payton got that …

In the early days of fantasy football, rookie receivers were an afterthought, almost a joke. You’d ignore them for their first seasons, barely look at them for their follow-up seasons, then maybe consider them for Year 3 breakouts. That was the playbook, and almost everyone followed it. There were occasional exceptions. Randy Moss detonated with an amazing 1998 season. Anquan …

An 18-game NFL season is coming, and no one can do anything to stop it. Well … that’s not true. But oddly, it seems to have already been embraced as inevitable by all parties just three years since the league went to 17 games, its first expansion of the regular season in 43 years. It’s less a march to 18 …

In early 2006, quarterback Drew Brees had a surgically-repaired shoulder that kept the Dolphins from offering him a contract. It didn’t stop the Saints. Eighteen years later, Brees has been elected to the Saints’ Hall of Fame. His arrival, along with coach Sean Payton, laid the foundation for a rebirth of the city in the aftermath of a hurricane that …

While Russell Wilson has been in “pole position” to be the Steelers’ starting quarterback, Justin Fields is also in the mix for the role. But should he not win that job, Fields has expressed a willingness to serve as a potential offensive weapon — like Taysom Hill has been with the Saints. “When my name is called, I’ll be ready,” Fields …

Former New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is unsurprisingly headed to the team’s Hall of Fame. (Photo by Chris Graythen/Getty Images) Drew Brees has been selected for induction into the New Orleans Saints Hall of Fame class of 2024, the team announced on Thursday. After joining the Saints in 2005 following five seasons with the San Diego Chargers, Brees quickly …

The Kansas City Chiefs are considering taking kicker Harrison Butker off kickoff duties for the upcoming season. But the decision has nothing to do with his recent controversial remarks during a commencement speech that made national headlines. The new rules implemented in March dictate that any ball kicked into the “landing zone” from the goal line to the 20-yard line …

Why Drake Maye is ‘perfect’ for Alex Van Pelt’s Patriots offense originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston It might be a while before Drake Maye gets to prove himself as the Patriots’ starting quarterback. But there’s evidence to suggest he’s set up to succeed in New England. The No. 3 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft boasts a 6-foot-4, …

The 49ers made Trey Lance the third overall pick in the draft after he had started just 17 games at North Dakota State. Then they traded him to the Cowboys after he had started just four games in San Francisco. Lance never played a down in his first year with the Cowboys, so there still isn’t much to evaluate him …
