The Pittsburgh Steelers have a ton of uncertainty with their quarterback position, and that uncertainty might carry over into the 2024 NFL Season. In a recent appearance with the media, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin seems to have indicated the team’s QB situation for 2024: Kenny Pickett will return as the QB1 in 2024, but the team will bring in some competition. Mason Rudolph looked the best of the Steelers’ passers this year, which is certainly saying something. Pickett was the team’s first-round pick back in 2022, and I truly wonder if the team would have drafted him if he…
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the Philadelphia Eagles last Monday 32-9 in the Wild Card round to advance in the playoffs. Their next test comes on Sunday as they travel to Detroit to take on the Lions, who defeated the Los Angeles Rams 24-23 to keep their Super Bowl hopes alive. Just like the Eagles, the Lions defeated the Buccaneers by 14 points early in the regular season. Obviously, both teams have experienced plenty since then and are in different forms than they were back then. Ahead of the matchup, there has been a bit of banter across social media…
Phoenix Suns coach Frank Vogel provided some injury updates regarding Bol Bol and Damion Lee at practice today. Bol has missed two straight games with a right foot sprain, and Lee has missed the entire season after undergoing right meniscus surgery a few weeks before the start of the year. Vogel ruled them both out for tomorrow’s game in New Orleans against the Pelicans (25-17). Both are now officially listed as out and are the only two names on the Suns (22-18) injury report. Vogel gave further updates on their statuses. “Bol is gonna be out tomorrow,”…
For their first meeting of the 2023–24 season, the Sacramento Kings and Indiana Pacers squared off on Thursday night. Before the game, both teams had been experiencing a brief losing run and were looking to turn things around. Since Sacramento was the home team and came into the game much healthier than their opponents, they were ahead right away but this didn’t help as Pacers held off the Sacramento Kings 126-121. The Pacers, who made a big trade on Wednesday, would have to win by playing nearly flawless basketball with little in the way of resources. The Pacers had a…
There were all the signs of a Thunder victory this season on Thursday night. With 31 points, six rebounds, and six assists, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander made 15 of 17 free throws, continuing a run of performances that supporters have been more excited about than accustomed to. Jalen Williams had an explosive fourth quarter. A Chet Holmgren block that changed the game. In a heated shooting duel, the Jazz were defeated 134-129, requiring every advantage possible. Utah, who had just finished a six-game winning streak and had won 12 of their previous 14 games, rarely gave up. Lauri Markannen free throws and…
The football world was waiting to see if USC Trojan QB Caleb Williams would declare for the draft. The news finally came on the final day that upperclassmen were eligible to declare. The rumors about where Williams would land have gone on for months, with many prematurely stating that he would likely end up being drafted by the Chicago Bears. The Bears currently own the #1 pick in the draft, so it makes all the sense in the world that they would draft Williams. Williams is a #1 overall pick, and his talent likely has many teams angling to…
No matter who the New York Giants have starting at quarterback in 2024, general manager Joe Schoen must improve the wide receiver position once and for all. You could argue that the Giants have not had a true No. 1 WR since trading Odell Beckham Jr. Recently, former 2019 fifth rounder Darius Slayton has finished first in receiving yards most seasons, but the veteran has never even registered a 1,000-yard campaign — topping out at 770 yards through the air in 2023. Big Blue has attempted to correct this team need both in free agency and the draft,…
The Michigan Insider’s Sam Webb joined CBS Sports HQ this morning to react to Jim’s Harbaugh’s latest flirtation with the NFL Host Brandon Baylor had three primary questions: 1.) How real is the threat of Harbaugh’s departure after interviews with the Los Angeles Chargers and the Atlanta Falcons? 2.) Does he require an “immunity clause” in his contract to remain at Michigan? And 3.)who will replace him in Ann Arbor if he goes to the league? In the latest installments of “The 3R Report”, details of Harbaugh’s salary requirements and insight on the types of NFL front office scenarios…
PHOENIX — Grayson Allen’s name is being tossed around the rumor-mill less than a month before the NBA trade deadline because he’s on a reasonable, expiring contract for a team that has little else to deal. The Phoenix Suns guard also happens to be playing really, really well, helping his value to his current team. Allen is leading the NBA by shooting 48.0% from deep. He’s taking on tough defensive assignments alongside Devin Booker and Bradley Beal. And yet it’s the shooting guard’s driving while playing with the Big Three of Booker, Beal and Kevin Durant that’s getting more…
The Detroit Lions are making a couple of roster adjustments before Sunday, when they host Tampa Bay. Pass rusher James Houston, who had a massive rookie season for Detroit, was activated from the injured reserve and could be a factor for the Lions. Houston hasn’t played since Week 2, and it would be interesting to see how much action he gets on Sunday. Julian Okwara was also activated from the injured reserve and then immediately waived by Detroit. Alex Anzalone was a full-practice participant on Thursday. The LB has been dealing with an injury to the shoulder or ribs…
