And if that seems like a quick timeline to get cleared to More
The message from Jonathan Taylor, from his first public comments in five months about his situation with the Colts, is: forget about all the drama that came before. Concentrate on the present. This is because a cease fire of sorts has come with the start of the football season. “Right now, I am here and More
March of 2022 was a busy time for teams in the AFC West with designs on stopping the Kansas City Chiefs. Everyone saw how the Chiefs were suddenly and seemingly diminished following their trade of top receiver Tyreek Hill.

The NFL got some of its hobbled stars back to practice on Wednesday and, with that, a couple of teams that had been managing voids in their lineup can have hope those will soon be addressed.

Sounds weird because Smith was fired in January after only one year as the Texans head coach. But before that happened, Smith helped author a 32-31 victory over the Indianapolis Colts in the 2022 season finale. More
The narrative changes quickly in the NFL, folks. Just as the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins will attest.

And just like that the questions about More
Derek Carr and Deshaun Watson were battling shoulder injuries to their throwing arms late in the week and it apparently was trending in different directions.

Sunday will be a big day for rookie quarterbacks in the NFL. And yes, that includes Las Vegas Raiders rookie Aidan O’Connell.
