Bills Hire Brian Daboll As Offensive Coordinator
The Buffalo Bills hired Brian Daboll as their new offensive coordinator on Sunday.

Minnesota Vikings safety Andrew Sendejo (concussion) suffered a concussion in the Divisional Round win over the Saints on Sunday, and he did not return to the game.

Josh McDaniels May Prefer Titans Head Coaching Job
The belief is that Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels would prefer the Titans head coaching position over all the others.

The Colts job isn't all that attractive unless Luck is able to return... Read More

Titans, Mike Mularkey Agree To Part Ways
The Tennessee Titans and head coach Mike Mularkey have agreed to part ways, according to a league source.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Leonard Fournette (ankle) left the game in the second quarter with an ankle injury and is questionable to return.

Pittsburgh Pirates general manager Neal Huntington may be more receptive to trade offers for outfielder Andrew McCutchen after the team traded starting pitcher Gerrit Cole to the Astros on Saturday, according to teams that have spoken with the Pirates.

Yankees Could Land Yu Darvish At Reasonable Price
With starting pitcher Gerrit Cole being traded to the Houston Astros on Saturday, the New York Yankees are very much interested in signing free-agent starting pitcher Yu Darvish, according to two sources. The stalled free-agent market gives the Yankees a real chance to land Darvish at a "reasonable" price. New York seems to think it's... Read More
Sam Bradford Expected To Back Up Case Keenum
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford (knee) is expected to be the backup to Case Keenum in the Divisional Round game against the Saints on Sunday. Head coach Mike Zimmer has never dressed three quarterbacks in a game, so Teddy Bridgewater is unlikely to be active. As long as Keenum is healthy, he'll remain Minnesota's starting... Read More
Zay Jones Played Through Torn Labrum
Buffalo Bills rookie wide receiver Zay Jones' (shoulder) father, Robert, said his son played with a torn labrum in his shoulder for most of the season.

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota (quadriceps) suffered a strained quadriceps in the first quarter of the Divisional Round loss to the Patriots on Saturday, according to head coach Mike Mularkey.

Chris Ivory, Jaydon Mickens Inactive
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Ivory and wide receiver Jaydon Mickens (hamstring) are both inactive for the Divisional Round game against the Steelers.

Antonio Brown Active Against Jaguars
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown (calf) is active for the Divisional Round game against the Jaguars on Sunday. Despite being active, Brown will not be 100 percent and may be used as a decoy against Jacksonville's league-best secondary.

Rex Burkhead, Mike Gillislee Inactive
New England Patriots running backs Rex Burkhead (knee) and Mike Gillislee (knee) are both inactive for the Divisional Round game against the Titans on Saturday. With them out, James White will be the passing back out of the backfield along with Dion Lewis. Lewis is the obvious DFS choice here, but White will be a... Read More
Tom Cable To Join Jon Gruden's Staff
Former Seattle Seahawks offensive line coach Tom Cable will become the next offensive line coach for the Oakland Raiders under new head coach Jon Gruden.

The Seattle Seahawks are expected to hire former Colts quarterbacks coach Brian Schottenheimer as their new offensive coordinator, according to a league source.
