Dowell Loggains Replacing Clyde Christensen In Miami
The Miami Dolphins are naming Dowell Loggains as their new offensive coordinator, according to a source. Former offensive coordinator Clyde Christensen will likely remain with the team and then transition to another role. Loggains previously worked with head coach Adam Gase in Chicago, so they have some history together. With Gase likely to continue calling... Read More
Jordan Taylor To Have Hip Surgery
Denver Broncos wide receiver Jordan Taylor (hip) will undergo only one hip surgery this offseason. It's unknown what his timetable for recovery will be, but hip surgeries are usually pretty serious, so he could miss most of offseason workouts. Taylor took on a bigger role as a receiver and punt returner late in the year,... Read More

The New York Giants will interview Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz for their head coaching job this weekend, according to sources.

Giants Request To Interview Pat Shurmur
The New York Giants have requested to interview Vikings offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur for their head coaching vacancy, according to a source. The Giants are unlikely to retain interim head coach Steve Spagnuolo, and Shurmur would be a good candidate to help quarterback Eli Manning to rebound if he sticks around. Shurmur has gained a...

The Chicago Bears interviewed defensive coordinator Vic Fangio for their head coaching position Wednesday.

Aqib Talib A Candidate For Release?
Denver Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib said he'd love to finish out his career with the Broncos, and he thinks the team is a quarterback away from being a top-five team in the NFL again.

Devonta Freeman, Tevin Coleman Limited Wednesday
Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (knee) and wide receiver Taylor Gabriel (hamstring) were both limited in practice Wednesday. Freeman didn't practice Tuesday, so this is an upgrade.

Ryan Tannehill Expected To Be Starter In 2018
Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase said he sees quarterback Ryan Tannehill (knee) "as our starting quarterback" for the 2018 season. This was expected all along, which is why the Dolphins signed Jay Cutler to a one-year deal when Tannehill blew his knee out in the preseason. Tannehill saw his numbers decline in terms of... Read More
Devin Funchess Not Practicing
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Devin Funchess (shoulder) is not practicing Wednesday. Funchess has been hampered by his shoulder injury to close out the year, but it hasn't kept him off the field, so the Panthers are likely just letting him rest ahead of the Wild-Card game against the Saints this weekend. In two games against... Read More
Mike Gillislee Not At Practice Wednesday
New England Patriots running back Mike Gillislee (knee) was not seen at practice Wednesday. After filling in in Week 16 and scoring a touchdown, Gillislee was surprisingly inactive in the regular season finale.

Rex Burkhead Returns To Practice
New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (knee) was back at practice Wednesday after missing the final two games of the regular season. Burkhead was allowed to rest up to end the regular season, and he'll have another week to do so with the Patriots on a first-round bye in the Wild-Card round. Burkhead may... Read More
Bears Request To Interview George Edwards
The Chicago Bears have requested to interview Vikings defensive coordinator George Edwards for their head coaching position, according to a source.

Current ESPN analyst Jon Gruden said there is a "good chance" that he'll become the next head coach of the Oakland Raiders, something that has been expected since the team fired Jack Del Rio.

Since hitting a career-high 17 dingers in 2013 with the... Read More
Trevor Siemian To Have Another Shoulder Surgery
Denver Broncos quarterback Trevor Siemian (shoulder) will undergo surgery on his left shoulder Wednesday, and it will be performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache. Siemian also had offseason surgery on his non-throwing shoulder last year, but the two injuries are unrelated, and this new surgery is to fix a damaged posterior capsule. Siemian's 2017 was much...

Albert Wilson Sitting Out Tuesday
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Albert Wilson (hamstring) is sitting out of practice Tuesday with a sore hamstring. He had by far his best game of the season in a meaningless Week 17 against the Broncos in which the Chiefs also rested quarterback Alex Smith, running back Kareem Hunt, receiver Tyreek Hill and tight end... Read More
Charcandrick West Back To Full Practice
Kansas City Chiefs running back Charcandrick West (illness), who missed the Week 17 game, is practicing in full Tuesday.

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller (knee) will undergo minor knee surgery in the offseason, and he'll be full go in a few weeks.

Seahawks Would Welcome Jimmy Graham Back
Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said the team would love to re-sign Jimmy Graham in the offseason.

Read More
DeMarco Murray Not Practicing Tuesday
Tennessee Titans running back DeMarco Murray (knee) is not practicing Tuesday. After sitting out Week 17 with a torn ligament in his knee, it's highly unlikely Murray would have much of a role in the Wild-Card game against the Chiefs this weekend, if he's even active at all. We would expect the Titans to ride... Read More
Taylor Gabriel, Levine Toilolo Limited Tuesday
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Taylor Gabriel (hamstring) and tight end Levine Toilolo (knee) both did not practice Tuesday. Gabriel had a disappointing season as Atlanta's offense took a step backwards with Steve Sarkisian as the offensive coordinator.

Julio Jones, Devonta Freeman Not Practicing Tuesday
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (ankle, ribs) and running back Devonta Freeman (knee) were both held out of practice Tuesday.

Pete Carroll Sticking Around In Seattle
Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said he isn't going anywhere for the 2018 season. Carroll is getting a little long in the tooth, but he will at least coach the team for one more season.

Richard Sherman To Undergo Clean-Up Procedure
Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman (Achilles) will undergo a clean-up procedure on his other ankle/heel in the offseason, according to head coach Pete Carroll. The recovery period will be around four to six weeks, and bone spurs will also be cleaned out during the operation. This has nothing to do with Sherman's ruptured Achilles, but... Read More
Chiefs Put Akeem Hunt On Injured Reserve
The Kansas City Chiefs placed running back Akeem Hunt (ankle) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday. Hunt was injured in the Week 17 regular season finale against the Broncos. With Charcandrick West (illness) being inactive in Week 17 and questionable for the Wild-Card round against Tennessee, the Chiefs re-signed C.J. Spiller to strengthen the depth behind... Read More
Bill Musgrave To Remain As Offensive Coordinator
Denver Broncos head coach Vance Joseph said offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave will return full time in 2018. Musgrave started off the 2017 as the quarterbacks coach but was promoted to offensive coordinator when Mike McCoy was fired midway through the season.

The Miami Marlins are continuing to speak with other teams on potential trades for outfielder Christian Yelich and catcher J.T. Realmuto, but a source said there is "nothing imminent."
