BREAKING: The Iowa Rampage of the Arena Football League has announced that the team will be discontinued.
#AFL
Remember when the Astros were on the cutting edge of analytics and pitcher development? Good times, man.
The Astros will reportedly hire Brad Ausmus as their next manager, per MLB’s @brianmctaggart.
Announcement also kicked wide to the right.
#Chiefs HC Andy Reid announced that K Harrison Butker is staying as his kicker for Week 10 vs. the Atlanta Falcons.
The Shedeur Grift will continue strong even in this adversity.
The Browns will start Deshaun Watson at quarterback against the Texans, per source.
@JFowlerESPN reported on Monday that Watson was expected to return to the starting lineup after missing the Saints game. Though Todd Monken declined to name a starter two days ago, it will be Watson.
I give him three weeks before he's consumed by the Substation Monster.
The #49ers are adding a WR, completing a trade for #Colts WR Keenan Allen, per me and @AdamSchefter. Another pass-catcher for Brock Purdy.
Rutgers was one of the first teams to play organized college football, yet might be one of the more incompetent schools out there.
It's always depressing when you go from an old Folk hero to the Moody Blues.
Sources: The #Falcons are releasing K Nick Folk, who was 13/18 on FGs this season.
Jake Moody is the new kicker in Atlanta.
God, please trade for Daniel Jones.
Developing: The #Vikings have begun making calls around the league about trading for a quarterback ahead of today’s 4 pm ET deadline, per @AdamSchefter and me.
Wait... healthy scratch?
#Vikings rookie DT Caleb Banks, their 1st-round pick in April, is a healthy inactive tonight vs. the Buffalo Bills.
There's a non-zero chance that the Vikings believe Daniel Jones is the answer and I'll laugh hysterically if they trade for him.
Carson Beck will be starting in the NFL. It is inevitable.
Sources: #AZCardinals starting QB Gardner Minshew is feared to have suffered a torn UCL in his throwing arm, an injury he had before halftime and played with.
Minshew is getting more tests, but he could be out for the season, facing months of rehab. Carson Beck would be up.
