Getty Images When the Eagles placed receiver DeSean Jackson on injured reserve and brought back former Eagles receiver Jordan Matthews, an obvious question emerged: Why not bring back former Eagles receiver Torrey Smith? Smith, a speedster who can stretch the field, would better fill the void...

Getty Images Not long ago, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was the odds-on favorite to win the league MVP award. Now, after missing two games and more than half of a third, his candidacy faces an uphill climb. But he’ll be back on Sunday at Tennessee, and despite the time he has missed...

Getty Images Week 10 of the 2019 NFL season kicked off on Thursday with a win by the 49ers and it continues with 11 more games on Sunday, which means that the 22 teams in those games submitted their final injury reports of the week on Friday. The teams playing on Monday night won’t release...

Getty Images Linebacker L.J. Fort joined the Ravens at the end of September and he’s made a strong impression on his new team over the last few weeks. The Ravens announced on Friday that they have agreed to extend Fort’s contract through the 2021 season. No other terms of the deal were...

If the NFL coach of the year award went to the best coach in the NFL, Bill Belichick would win it every year. But the prize is determined, as a practical matter, by the extent to which a coach pushes him team over and above its loose, general expectations when the season began. When the season...

Getty Images There may have been a moment or two on Thursday when the Bengals wondered if they might avoid facing Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson this weekend, but it never seemed likely he’d miss the game despite missing practice. Jackson was sick on Thursday and missed practice for the...

Getty Images A.J. Green‘s ankle didn’t cooperate with plans for him to return to action this week and the Bengals officially ruled the wide receiver out for the ninth time in 2019 on Friday. Head coach Zac Taylor said on Wednesday that the expectation was that Green would make his first...

Getty Images The Ravens got quarterback Lamar Jackson back on the practice field Friday after he sat out with an illness on Thursday, but his full participation in that session wasn’t enough for them to pass on giving him an injury designation for Sunday’s game. Jackson has been listed as...

Getty Images Belief that Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green would make his 2019 debut against the Ravens this Sunday existed for a brief moment on Wednesday, but it has been snuffed out. Head coach Zac Taylor said in a press conference that Green would be in the lineup, but practice went on...

Getty Images Bengals left tackle Cordy Glenn went through his first padded practice of the season Thursday as a full participant. It’s another step in the disgruntled lineman’s return but don’t expect Glenn to step right back into the starting lineup. Bengals coach Zac Taylor said either John...

Getty Images The Ravens just knocked off the AFC’s only undefeated team, and get to follow up with a game against the league’s only winless team. So making sure they’re not overconfident against the Bengals is forcing the Ravens coaching staff into liberal use of hyperbole (or something). In...

Getty Images New Bengals quarterback Ryan Finley admitted some nerves, in anticipation of his starting debut Sunday against the Ravens. And that’s a good thing, in his mind. The Bengals named the fourth-rounder their starter before the bye, pulling the plug on longtime fixture Andy Dalton...

Getty Images The Ravens became the first team to beat the Patriots this season and quarterback Lamar Jackson‘s play last Sunday night was a big reason why Baltimore came out on top. Jackson was 17-of-23 for 163 yards and a touchdown through the air in the 37-20 victory. He also ran 16 times...

Getty Images NFL passing numbers have skyrocketed in recent years, while running has been de-emphasized. The Ravens, however, are doing something different. Baltimore is running far more effectively than any other NFL team, and the stat that most encapsulates that may be this: Both quarterback...

Ryan Finley got quite a housewarming present. Via Geoff Hobson of the team’s official website, Bengals coach Zac Taylor said wide receiver A.J. Green was going to play this week. Green’s been out since suffering an ankle injury on the first day of training camp — on what might have been an...

Getty Images It’s not an easy thing to say, whether you’re Arthur Fonzarelli or a Hall of Fame General Manager. But Bill Polian is able to admit it now, even though he might have been the last one to do so. Polian told Jarrett Bell of USA Today “I was wrong” about Ravens quarterback Lamar...

Getty Images Cyrus Jones‘s fumbled punt didn’t keep the Ravens from handing the Patriots their first loss of the 2019 season, but they still added another option for returning duties on Tuesday. The Ravens announced that they have signed De’Anthony Thomas to their 53-man roster. Cornerback...
