Ezekiel Elliott Is Re-Resuspended

Reports: Texans Trade Duane Brown To Seahawks
Just after Duane Brown ended a months-long holdout over a contract dispute, the Texans have reportedly traded the left tackle to the Seahawks for cornerback Jeremy Lane and two draft picks, a 2018 fifth-rounder and 2019 second-rounder....
I'm Worried About Andrew Luck
Sure, maybe you think it’s a little ominous that Andrew Luck had shoulder surgery nine months ago, hasn’t played since, and had to be shut down after briefly attempting to throw a football. But do you know what’s really ominous? His throwing shoulder hurts and the Colts and doctors have no idea why....
JuJu Smith-Schuster Is Having A Ball
It’s been a weird rookie season for Steelers receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, who last week was unwillingly pulled into a one-sided beef with teammate Martavis Bryant before having his bike stolen. But during last night’s game against the Lions, he had about as much fun as a football player can possibl...
Zach Miller's Gruesome Knee Injury Is Worse Than Imagined
Bears tight end Zach Miller’s knee injury looked awful when it happened during Sunday’s game at the Saints. The diagnosis turned out to be much more grim....

Russell Wilson Tops Deshaun Watson In A Dazzling Offensive Shootout
In an extravagant game filled with 988 yards of total offense, Seattle’s Russell Wilson found a way to pull his team over the top, completing an 18-yard TD pass to Jimmy Graham with 21 seconds left to give the Seahawks a 41-38 win over the Texans. ...
Eagles Mime Baseball Again With Hit-By-Pitch TD Celebration
Earlier this month, the Eagles scored a touchdown and celebrated with an elaborate baseball-themed celebration. Nelson Agholor threw a pretend ball, and Torrey Smith knocked it over the fence. Today, Alshon Jeffery scored on a long pass from QB Carson Wentz, and teammate Zach Ertz “plunked” him....
Almost Every Houston Texan Takes A Knee During Anthem Following Owner's "Inmates" Remark
Almost the entire Houston Texans team took a knee during the national anthem before today’s game against Seattle, following the publication of Texans owner Bob McNair’s “inmates” comments in an ESPN story Friday....
Zach Miller Suffers Gruesome Leg Injury On Touchdown That Gets Reversed
What looked like a really nice Mitchell Trubisky touchdown pass to Zach Miller quickly turned into a double blow for the Chicago Bears, as the TD was reversed, and Miller stayed down after his left leg bent in a way that it was clearly not supposed to....
Travis Benjamin's Terrible Decisions Led To One Of The Worst Punt Returns Ever<em></em><em></em>
Los Angeles’s Travis Benjamin could have had only a minor miscue on his record if he had stayed where he was on the field after he picked up his own muffed punt, but nah, he had to try and create something better. In doing so, he inexplicably ran backwards almost 10 yards into his own end zone, gett...
Report: Colin Kaepernick Excluded From Player-Owner Meetings
Despite certain NFL players proposing meetings that include him, and an NFL spokesperson indicating last week that he expected an invitation to be extended, Colin Kaepernick is being frozen out of meetings on social justice between the NFLPA and NFL owners, according to a report from Slate....
Bob McNair Issues New Explanation For "Inmates" Comment
Texans owner Bob McNair, several days into the deep shit of consequences for his now-infamous “inmates run the prison” comment from league meetings, has issued a new statement today, with a new and dubious explanation for how he got into this mess:...
Doug Gottlieb: DeAndre Hopkins Isn't "Smart Enough" To Get "Nuance" Of Bob McNair's "Inmates" Quote
Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins skipped practice today after ESPN published a quote from team owner Bob McNair in which he compared his employees to prison inmates at last week’s NFL meetings. Thankfully, Fox Sports Radio broadcaster Doug Gottlieb was available to bring the white man’s perspect...
FW: FW: The Seahawks Are Getting Kicked Out Of The NFL
Everyone is pretty pumped up, if we’re just going by the expressions on the faces of the Seattle Seahawks players and coaches arrayed about their locker room. Richard Sherman is cheesing like a five-year-old on photo day. If Pete Carroll was grinning any harder, his smile would somehow be larger tha...
The Miami Dolphins Make No Sense
With Thursday’s 40-0 loss in Baltimore, the Dolphins have firmly established themselves as the NFL’s most nonsensical team. Take stock of what Miami has accomplished through seven games:...
Bob McNair's Really Stepped In It Now
Houston Texans owner Bob McNair compared NFL players, who are employees and free men, to prison inmates during last week’s league meetings. (The exact wording, as McNair argued for banning players from protesting during the anthem: “We can’t have the inmates running the prison.”) According to variou...
Steve Smith Might Really Whoop Michael Irvin's Ass
During Thursday’s NFL Network pregame show, Michael Irvin couldn’t resist taking a shot at Steve Smith’s pants. It seems like a bad idea to joke with the guy who once broke his own teammate’s nose, but it was heartening to see Irvin put his own neck on the line for once....
