(AP Photo/Matt Patterson)AP ALLEN PARK — Graham Glasgow has already expressed interest in running it back. And the Detroit Lions have told the offensive guard they want to bring him back, too, and why wouldn’t they after the season Glasgow just had? But this is the NFL, and Glasgow knows it’s out of his hands heading into an offseason full…

Booker piled up a 52-point game on Jan. 19 against the Pelicans and later 46- and 44-point…
The Chicago Bears are going to be looking to add more pieces for their rebuild when NFL free agency begins, but there are also a few veterans who are likely to find themselves on the chopping block in March, such as Cody Whitehair. Whitehair has started 118 games as an interior offensive lineman for the Bears over the past eight seasons, splitting his time between guard and center throughout his tenure. After the Bears benched him from his starting job during the 2023 season, though, his future is far from certain heading into 2024 — and his sizable cap…
With NFL Honors right around the corner, the staff of NFL Network has officially announced their picks for the annual NFL end-of-season awards… including 2023-24 Defensive Player of the Year. With 11 votes in his favor, Pittsburgh Steelers star edge rusher T.J. Watt was named NFL Network’s Defensive Player of the Year, winning by a two-vote margin over AFC North rival Myles Garrett.

Kevin Durant scored 33 points and contributed eight assists in his first game back in Brooklyn since his trade to Phoenix, leading the Suns to a 136-120 win during Wednesday’s NBA action. Durant’s return to Brooklyn was met with a mix of cheers and boos, but his performance with the Phoenix Suns quickly silenced the crowd. He expressed satisfaction in quieting the crowd, especially after receiving a mixed reception. “I love to shut the crowd up. Even though I love these people here, I love to shut them up,” Durant said. The game, broadcast nationally, saw the…
Detroit Lions superstar Amon-Ra St. Brown trolled Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield at the Pro Bowl. Detroit Lions saw their season come to an end with a brutal loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game, narrowly missing out on a chance to advance to the Super Bowl. The Lions actually led this one by 17 points at halftime, but St. Brown and his offensive teammates were unable to get much of anything going in the second half en route to the loss, which tied the record for the biggest blown lead in NFC Championship…
As the saying goes, if humans don’t study history, they are condemned to repeat it. For the Pittsburgh Steelers, though, they would love a bit of recent history to repeat itself. In his newest NFL mock draft, SI.com’s All NFL Draft’s Luke Easterling predicted the Steelers to select Oregon center Jackson Powers-Johnson at No. 20 overall. It’s still early in the draft process, but Powers-Johnson is drawing comparisons to former Steelers All-Pro center Maurkice Pouncey. “Pittsburgh could go offensive tackle in the first round for the second year in a row, but they also need an upgrade at…
The 2024 head-coaching carousel has come to an end with the Commanders hiring Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn as their next head coach. However, with several highly regarded coaches still available to join staffs around the league, the Steelers should do their best to add one of them. Among the coaches who did not land jobs during the cycle is former Titans head coach Mike Vrabel. The 48-year-old was named the NFL Coach of the Year in 2021 and Pittsburgh would surely benefit from having him on its staff in 2024. The Steelers similarly added Brian Flores, who is now the defensive…
