Zach Ertz is back in green. The 35-year-old tight end and former Eagles star signed a deal to join the team's practice squad on Monday afternoon, which comes in the wake of starting tight end Dallas Goedert suffering an MCL sprain in the team's Week 2 victory over the Tennessee Titans — and Ertz is thrilled to be back where his NFL career began. "My mom was in tears. My […]

The Boston Red Sox are staying the course. Boston announced on Tuesday morning that it has signed interim manager Chad Tracy to a three-year extension that runs through the 2029 MLB season. The Red Sox will have a team option on Tracy for the 2030 season. Meanwhile, Boston exercised team options on Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow for the 2029 and 2030 seasons. "Craig and Chad are two exceptionally talented […]

Paul Skenes is still Paul Skenes, but the Pittsburgh Pirates superstar right-hander is having a down year by his standards. What's the core reason for Skenes' 2026 performance? Well, the 2025 National League Cy Young Award winner thinks the 2026 World Baseball Classic "definitely affected the year" and "was kind of the root" of his struggles. "Usually, that time of year [early March], you’re kind of ramping up and it’s […]

Leave it to Matthew Stafford to buck the trend of a league-wide scoring collapse. While most teams saw their scoring totals decline (and I’m looking at you, Chicago), the Los Angeles Rams and Stafford had an incredible bounce-back week against the New York Giants. His four touchdown passes Monday night put him sixth on two all-time lists: career passing TDs and games with at least four passing TDs. Stafford is […]

Seattle Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald expects Sam Darnold to return to practice this week, but the quarterback's status for this weekend's game against the Washington Commanders remains uncertain. Darnold sustained a glute injury in the first series of Seattle's season opener against the New England Patriots. Drew Lock took over and helped the Seahawks to a 13-10 victory, then started Sunday's 31-7 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. There was no […]

What do the Chiefs, Bengals and Josh Allen have in common? They look scary good right now. You know who’s not scaring anyone right now? The Dolphins. After the second week of NFL action in the 2026 season, I’m back with my best and worst superlatives, focusing on three categories: team developments, offensive performances and overall squad quality: The reigning Super Bowl MVP’s integration into the Chiefs’ offense is going as […]

Monday brought a rough round of quarterback news from across the league, with several franchises facing tough questions about who'll be under center in the coming weeks. Caleb Williams avoided the worst-case scenario in Chicago, but not every team was so fortunate. Washington's Jayden Daniels is facing an uncertain timeline after dislocating his left elbow for the second time in as many years, while the Falcons confirmed Michael Penix Jr. […]

SOFI STADIUM (Los Angeles) – The Los Angeles Rams rebounded from an embarrassing loss in Australia to start the year by cruising to a 28-6 victory over the visiting New York Giants on Monday Night Football in the team’s home opener. Dubbed the "Dream Team" to start the year because of the team’s blockbuster moves to secure defensive game changers like defensive end Myles Garrett, cornerback Trent McDuffie and the […]

Two weeks into the season, a third team sits atop the charts. Honestly, after the Rams fell in Week 1 and the Ravens dropped in Week 2, it seems that the famed SI jinx and Madden curse have nothing on my Power Rankings. Things will get really unsettling if the new No. 1 loses at home to the 0-2 Los Angeles Chargers this weekend. Until then, just cross your fingers, […]
