#Bears DB Kyler Gordon is now tied for the team-lead with 4 sacks. He has played 21 total snaps.

The #Eagles are signing G/T Evan Neal, the former No. 7 overall pick out of Alabama.

The #Chargers are paying Justin Herbert $55M per year... It’s okay to say he deserves blame for an 0–6 start instead of making endless excuses.

The #Bears will give out fake mustaches to all fans Thursday night ahead of their game vs. the #Patriots as part of their plan to honor former player and coach Mike Ditka, who died earlier this month, per @SunTimes. Tonight is Chicago’s first home game since Ditka's passing.

The #Chiefs, when they have a health situation that requires more context, send out head trainer Rick Burkholder to explain it to the media. He did that today with LT Josh Simmons. Here’s his full explanation:

The #Chiefs are placing LT Josh Simmons on IR due to a bulging disc in his lower back that has not progressed as the team hoped. Simmons has not played this season and will now miss at least another four games.

The Jalen Hurts situation is far too serious for the unanswered questions to just go away. I don’t believe there was malicious intent, but the details need to be unpacked. I’m curious to see who ultimately gets the real answers.

🎙️ Unpacking the NFL's biggest storylines — my thoughts, analysis, and perspective: Timestamps: * 1:47 – Jalen Hurts' blood clots: Why it's so concerning and far from over... * 8:52 – What do the Eagles do next? * 13:50 – Colts firing GM Chris Ballard * 22:51 – The 0-6 Chargers. What's coming? * 26:44 – Early NFL trade deadline preview. * 31:15 – The Jordan Elliott gun situation. * 36:56 – Giants name JJ McCarthy QB1.

CBS deciding to lock in JJ Watt is significant because, as it stands right now, Troy Aikman and Greg Olsen are set to become broadcasting free agents this offseason. CBS’ No. 1 spot is now off the table.

Just in: CBS and JJ Watt have agreed to a multi-year contract to keep him as the network’s No. 1 NFL game analyst alongside Jim Nantz. Watt will continue to call the Network’s top games, including next season when they call Super Bowl LXII in Atlanta.

Sacks allowed by every NFL team this season:

#Patriots HC Mike Vrabel, #Jets HC Aaron Glenn and #Eagles HC Nick Sirianni have each been fined $250,000 for conduct toward officials, per @AlbertBreer. The fines are on hold and could be rescinded if they have better behavior.

#Rams QB Matthew Stafford on all their injuries: “Everybody sees these and they’re on their fantasy team, and they’re like, ‘Aww, I’ve got to trade a guy in and out now.’ And we’re like, well, that guy has worked his ass off for the last eight months to get this opportunity, and it’s unfortunate he doesn’t get to do what he loves.”

#Bills CB Christian Benford on concerns about Buffalo’s defense: “It takes game reps. … We’re gonna be good. It’s gonna be good.”

#Packers RB Josh Jacobs, speaking for the first time today, thanked the team for its support and expressed remorse: “A 4-second, 3-second decision can alter your life, honestly. I’m still a human being. Still trying to learn and grow.” (📽️ @KyleMalzhan)

#Texans WR Tank Dell on playing Sunday for the first time since his devastating knee injury in 2024: “I don’t care if the first catch is 2 yards, 5 yards—I’m spiking the ball and doing what I gotta do. It’s gonna feel good. … I’m ready to get tackled. I’m gonna be joyful.”🙏💯

The #Giants are benching Jameis Winston and will start JJ McCarthy vs. the Texans in Week 7. McCarthy threw for 243 yards in the 4th quarter on Sunday and is now QB1.

#Bears starting G Jonah Jackson, who suffered a hip injury on Sunday, has gutted through it and will play tomorrow night vs. the Patriots.

#Packers HC Matt LaFleur on RB Josh Jacobs’ return: “I think a lot of times you get in a situation where you might not make the right decision. I think people learn from their mistakes. He’s extremely remorseful. I do believe he is a good person. I’ve been around him quite a bit. I believe in second chances.”

#Bills CB Christian Benford has become so used to Josh Allen making ESPN Top 10 plays that he takes it for granted. “I hate to say it ... I feel like I’m kinda spoiled. All my other teammates are like, ‘What the heck? That’s Josh!’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, yeah.’” 😂
