Russell Wilson fits the bill, according to CBS Sports’ Cody Benjamin, who named the Giants a landing spot for the passer expected to be released from a contract worth $242,588,236 by the Denver Broncos. Jones, who is recovering from a torn ACL, only signed a four-year, $160-million contract last offseason, but Benjamin believes “Tommy DeVito and Tyrod Taylor faring better in relief suggests Jones could be out of a job regardless of his rehab.” It helps Jones…
Chris Paul did it with the Clippers in December 2016 against the Pelicans: 20 points, 20 assists and zero turnovers. Tyrese Haliburton did it Thursday night against the Bulls: 21 points, 20 assists, and no turnovers, leading the Pacers to a win. Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said he didn’t think Haliburton would even play in this game the way he looked at shootaround with a tight and sore back. Not only did he play, Haliburton found a groove he hadn’t been in for a while. “You don’t get 20 assists without guys making a lot of shots,” Haliburton said via the…
Veteran guard Bradley Beal is ready to return from the right ankle sprain that has sidelined him since Dec. 15, with the Suns confirming Friday (via X) that he’ll be available for Friday’s game vs. Charlotte. He was previously listed as questionable. The Suns initially announced on Dec. 18 that Beal would be re-evaluated in two weeks, indicating they expected him to be out until January. However, the 30-year-old expressed a desire to beat that recovery timeline, and it appears he’ll achieve that goal, returning just 11 days later. Given that Kevin Durant and Devin Booker aren’t on the…

The Pittsburgh Steelers are currently in an interesting spot in the AFC playoff race. Sitting at 8-7, they are the 10th seed heading into Week 17. There have been multiple different quarterbacks under center for the Steelers this season. Something that can be a bit frustrating for a team who seemingly has a championship caliber defense. Multiple reports have surfaced recently that indicate the Steelers could get a long-term plan in place at the quarterback position sooner rather than later.

The hosts of this matchup are 24-6 overall, boasting the best record in the NBA. But to remain unbeaten on their parquet, they’ll have to overcome the absences of Jayson Tatum, Kristaps Porzingis, and Al Horford. The former is out due to left ankle sprain management. The four-time All-Star registered 31 points vs. Detroit. He also dished out ten assists, grabbed five rebounds, and swiped five steals. When asked after the…
Teryl Austin shook his head in a combination of relief and recognition. If not for some modifications made to the NFL’s practice squad rules in recent years, imagine where the Pittsburgh Steelers defense would have been this season by now? “Yeah,” Austin, the Steelers defensive coordinator, said this week. “That would be a tough one.” Three veterans who joined the organization via the practice squad over the past two months are in line to start on defense for the Steelers in Sunday’s game at the Seattle Seahawks. Eric Rowe, Myles Jack and Mykal Walker combine for 21…
Jalen Milroe was not having it when he exposed New England Patriots’ Bill O’Brien and his involvement with the Alabama football program.
