“Everybody sees these and they’re on their fantasy team, and they’re like, ‘Aww, I’ve got to trade a guy in and out now.’ And we’re like, well, that guy has worked his ass off for the last eight months to get this opportunity, and it’s unfortunate he doesn’t get to do what he loves.”

#Packers RB Josh Jacobs, speaking for the first time today, thanked the team for its support and expressed remorse:
“A 4-second, 3-second decision can alter your life, honestly. I’m still a human being. Still trying to learn and grow.”
(📽️ @KyleMalzhan)
#Packers HC Matt LaFleur on RB Josh Jacobs’ return:
“I think a lot of times you get in a situation where you might not make the right decision. I think people learn from their mistakes. He’s extremely remorseful. I do believe he is a good person. I’ve been around him quite a bit. I believe in second chances.”
#Texans WR Tank Dell on playing Sunday for the first time since his devastating knee injury in 2024:
“I don’t care if the first catch is 2 yards, 5 yards—I’m spiking the ball and doing what I gotta do. It’s gonna feel good. … I’m ready to get tackled. I’m gonna be joyful.”🙏💯
The #Giants are benching Jameis Winston and will start JJ McCarthy vs. the Texans in Week 7.
McCarthy threw for 243 yards in the 4th quarter on Sunday and is now QB1.
#Bears starting G Jonah Jackson, who suffered a hip injury on Sunday, has gutted through it and will play tomorrow night vs. the Patriots.

#Bills CB Christian Benford has become so used to Josh Allen making ESPN Top 10 plays that he takes it for granted.
“I hate to say it ... I feel like I’m kinda spoiled. All my other teammates are like, ‘What the heck? That’s Josh!’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, yeah.’” 😂

Ari Meirov retweeted
very impressed with Saleh’s response here
#Titans HC Robert Saleh says Jordan Elliott having a gun was, in a way, a “small sign of a cry for help,” considering he had no prior issues and is a father and a hard worker.
Saleh referenced two suicides in the NFL over the past year and expressed concern about players struggling without getting the help they need.
“These kids go through a lot. I will stand on the table for Jordan’s character. My message to 31 other teams: If you need a hell of a run-stopping DT that can help for a playoff run, give me a call. I'll tell you everything you need to know about him. He’s a good man. Had a terrible lapse in judgment.”

Ex-#Titans DT Jordan Elliott went to his car to retrieve his gun after a practice altercation with OT JC Latham last Thursday (Oct. 15).
After being told to leave the field, Elliott took off his pads and stormed out of the facility, then went to the players' lot. Security cameras captured the sequence. Veteran DL John Franklin-Myers talked him down, and no one was hurt.
The Titans released Elliott on Tuesday after reviewing the incident. He signed a 2-year, $8M deal this offseason.
News of the incident was first reported by @eastonfreeze and additional details provided by @AaronWilson_NFL.

#Patriots WR AJ Brown on Jalen Hurts’ health situation:
“It’s a tough situation. I got a lot of love and respect for him. I’m praying for him. … He’s a tough guy, and he can handle anything. … I pray God continues to keep His hand on him. It’s a lot of love.” 🙏
Statement from the NFLPA on the #Eagles and QB Jalen Hurts:
“The NFLPA is not aware of any NFL investigation into the medical care provided to Jalen Hurts. In fact, the league previously informed the union that it did not plan to review the care he received. Before conclusions are drawn about how this situation was handled, there must be a full investigation into what occurred. Determining the facts is essential to ensuring players receive the highest level of care and protection going forward.”
Bottom line: The NFLPA is calling for a full investigation into the medical care provided to #Eagles QB Jalen Hurts.
The union says it is unaware of any NFL investigation and that the league previously informed it there were no plans to review Hurts’ care…

Today was the deadline for the NFL to flex #Eagles-#Commanders out of Sunday Night Football in Week 8.
No change was made. The game remains on SNF.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has a good seat for the #Knicks ring ceremony tonight:
