Bengals Bengals HC Zac Taylor said DE Shemar Stewart is making progress, adding that the defensive line group is deep enough to hold strong without the young pass rusher. “It’s a really deep D-line group, and it’s really tough to choose who’s gonna be inactive there,” Taylor said, via ProFootballTalk. “Keep encouraging him because he’s doing everything the […]

The Ravens sign veteran guard Michael Jordan to their practice squad after first‑round pick Vega Ioane sprains his MCL. Jordan, a 28‑year‑old former Bengals fourth‑rounder, has logged 19 starts with the Bengals, started for the Panthers in 2023, and played for the Patriots and Buccaneers, posting career‑best PFF pass‑blocking grades (60.4 in 2024, 71.1 in 2025). He provides depth at right guard as Andrew Vorhees and Emery Jones shuffle into the lineup. Baltimore also cut RB Jonathan Ward, clearing a spot for rookie Adam Randall, who may return from IR in Week 5. The moves aim to shore up O‑line help and improve short‑yardage offense.

Baltimore entered 2026 as a Super Bowl hopeful, but a 4-3 start and a 35-13 loss to the Bengals have them sliding to the AFC North's bottom. The article revisits the March trade that fell apart when Max Crosby failed his physical, sparing the Ravens two future first‑round picks. While Crosby would have bolstered the pass rush, the piece argues the team’s deeper issues—blown leads, coaching turnover, and roster gaps—won’t be solved by a single star. Retaining the picks now lets Baltimore draft guard Vega Ioane and potentially secure a higher 2027 selection, offering a silver lining amid a disappointing season.
Lamar Jackson is set to return for the Ravens’ Week 8 showdown with the Buffalo Bills, NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport confirms on Peter Schrager’s "Big Day" show. The former MVP missed the past three games with an ankle injury, during which Baltimore posted a 1-2 record, beating the Falcons before dropping to the Browns and Bengals. Jackson’s status shifted from “questionable” to “out” before Week 7, but the latest report says he will suit up in Orchard Park on Sunday, giving Buffalo its second encounter with a former MVP in three games.
The former Bengals receiver believes the Steelers' lack of a clear successor could give Rodgers leverage to delay retirement.
Rookie guard Vega Ioane (No. 14 overall) sprains his MCL in the Ravens’ Week 7 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals and is expected to miss a short stint. Ioane left the game in the first quarter and did not return, prompting veteran Emery Jones to take over right‑guard duties. The injury adds to Baltimore’s line woes after earlier setbacks to Jovaughn Gwyn, Ethan Pocic, and Andrew Vorhees. Despite a modest sample, Jones ranks in the league’s bottom 15 guards, while Ioane had already shown promise at both guard and center and was even mentioned in Offensive Rookie of the Year chatter. The team hopes the brief lay‑off also lets his lingering ankle heal.
The Cincinnati Bengals have suffered another devastating injury, and this one is especially difficult for a young player who has already battled through multiple knee surgeries to get back on the field. Tight end Erick All Jr. has been placed on injured reserve after suffering a knee injury during Sunday’s win over the Baltimore Ravens. […]

The NFLSU Week 7 Report Card breaks down every NFL game through the lens of former Tigers, assigning grades to each matchup. Highlights include the Bengals’ 35‑13 blowout over the Ravens (Joe Burrow’s 292 yards, 4 TDs) earning an A, the Browns’ 27‑24 win over the Titans and the Giants’ OT victory at 27‑21 both landing B‑ grades, and several teams with former Tigers earning low marks, such as the Broncos (D+) and Lions (F). Overall, the week receives a solid B grade.
The Steelers sit 5-2 through Week 7, tying for first in the AFC North but trailing the Browns on tiebreakers. After three straight wins, analysts question the sustainability of the run, but the blog argues that wins—regardless of opponent strength—prove the defense’s toughness and the offense’s playmaking. Upcoming matchups with Cleveland and Cincinnati could push Pittsburgh to the top. The piece also highlights rookie Spencer Anderson’s impact, Mike McCarthy’s potential Coach‑of‑the‑Year chatter, and other Steelers news.
Week 8 fantasy quarterback rankings highlight Josh Allen as the clear top pick, returning after a Bills bye with 1,504 passing yards, nine TDs and 240 rushing yards in six games. Drake Mayen (NE) and Joe Burrow (CIN) also offer strong upside against Miami and Tennessee, respectively. Bye weeks for the Texans, Saints, Giants and 49ers remove several options, while Brock Purdy and C.J. Stroud sit out, prompting managers to consider sleepers like Jacoby Brissett (ARI) – who throws 40+ passes a game – and Kyler Murray (MIN), whose rushing upside could swing his value. The article breaks down each QB’s recent performance and matchup before the critical stretch of the fantasy season.
The Philadelphia Eagles, likely sellers at the Nov. 10 trade deadline, are weighing a Saquon Barkley deal. Sportsnaut outlines five clubs that could benefit from the 26‑year‑old’s 5.7‑yards‑per‑carry season: the Seattle Seahawks need a versatile back to boost a 23rd‑ranked rushing attack; the Houston Texans could pair Barkley with MVP‑caliber C.J. Stroud to balance an anemic ground game; the Minnesota Vikings would add a powerhouse to a struggling offense despite a strong defense; the Denver Broncos might use Barkley to relieve rookie Jonah Coleman and relieve Bo Nix; and the Cincinnati Bengals could complement Joe Burrow’s passing surge. Each scenario examines fit, offensive line quality, and potential draft‑pick returns.
The Black Shoe Diaries breaks down every Penn State Nittany Lion on a 2026 NFL 53‑man roster, highlighting active players and those on IR. Notable names include Saquon Barkley (Eagles), Mike Gesicki (Bengals), and Joey Porter Jr. (Cowboys), each with recent game stats—Barkley posted a rushing TD, Gesicki a TD catch, and Porter logged a pass breakup. Rookies are italicized, and the list spans from the Cardinals (Blake Gillikin) to the Washington Commanders (Odafe Oweh). Supplemental standouts feature Chop Robinson’s sack for Miami and Kevin Winston Jr.’s 14 tackles for Tennessee.
Ravens rookie guard Vega Ioane, the 14th‑overall pick who has allowed just eight pressures in 225 pass‑blocking snaps, suffers an MCL sprain in the Week 7 loss to the Bengals and is expected to miss the Week 8 showdown with Buffalo. While the injury is short‑term, he won’t suit up against the Bills. The Ravens may fill the gap with veteran Andrew Vorhees or 2025 third‑rounder Emery Jones, both of whom have limited experience at guard. Ioane’s absence could impact Baltimore’s run game and pass protection heading into the crucial divisional clash.
The Ravens fell to 4-3 after a 35-13 loss to the Bengals in Week 7, with the second half seeing the team shut out while Cincinnati surged. Standout performers included Zay Flowers, who logged eight catches for 137 yards and a TD, veteran safety K’Von Wallace’s key pressure and forced fumble, rookie center Cam Jurgens’ solid debut (only one pressure allowed), and defensive end Travis Jones’ three pressures. The losers were backup QB Tyler Huntley, who went 0-0 in the second half and threw a costly interception, linemen Roger Rosengarten and John Simpson for sacks and penalties, Derrick Henry’s meager 45 yards on 17 carries, and defensive backs Kyle Hamilton and Marlon Humphrey for missed tackles and big plays allowed.
Former Seahawks defenders are heading opposite ways in 2026. Edge rusher Boye Mafe thrives with the Cincinnati Bengals, posting 4.5 sacks, six QB hits, a forced fumble and a career‑best 17.6% pressure rate as the Bengals sit 4‑2 and eye the playoffs. In contrast, cornerback Riq Woolen struggles for the Philadelphia Eagles, surrendering 296 yards and two TDs over his last four games, committing six penalties and watching the Eagles fall 38‑21 to Dallas. Their divergent performances highlight a rising Bengals defense and a declining Eagles secondary.
Per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Ravens G Vega Ioane suffered an MCL sprain in Week 7 against the Bengals. Rapoport says it’s considered to be a short-term injury, but Ioane will miss a little bit of time. Ioane, 22, was a three-star recruit out of Washington State who ended up committing to Penn State and […]

Week 7 churned out seven key NFL storylines: Deshaun Watson led the Browns to a 27-24 win over Tennessee with 308 passing yards and a rushing TD; Giants rookie Cam Skattebo broke out with 124 rushing yards in an overtime victory; Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy shone with 252 yards against the Texans, igniting trade‑talk; the 49ers’ loss to Atlanta highlighted the impact of missing Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel; Joe Burrow’s second‑half surge gave Cincinnati a win but exposed a weak run game; Caleb Williams posted 308 yards and two TDs as the Bears finally found offensive rhythm despite Cole Kmet’s season‑ending injury; and the Titans’ defensive woes forced Daniel Jones into early trouble. These takeaways frame the league’s emerging contenders and looming questions heading into the second half of the season.
Week 7 AFC report cards reveal a mixed bag: the Broncos (A) dominate the Cardinals, while the Chiefs slip to D+ after a Seattle loss. The Bengals earn an A+ with a comeback win over the Ravens, who fall to D+. The Patriots sit at B‑, the Jets at C‑, and the Dolphins secure an A after beating New York. In the AFC South, the Titans earn B‑, the Colts D+, and the Texans C+. Bye weeks give the Bills, Chargers and Jaguars a reset. Grades highlight surprise victories and disappointing defeats across the conference.
The Baltimore Ravens have to be concerned coming out of Week 7. Baltimore totally melted down in the second half, allowing Cincinnati to score 35 unanswered points. To make matters worse, the Ravens also lost one of their young offensive stars to injury. Fortunately, it appears that he won’t be out of action very long. […]

Shane Steichen’s Big Plan for Daniel Jones! Jonathan Taylor to Bengals Rumors! Brewers on the Brink!
The Bengals shocked the Ravens on Oct. 27, turning a 13‑0 halftime deficit into a 35‑0 second‑half surge, ending the game 35‑13. After a sluggish first half with just 59 yards and three first downs, the offense exploded for 298 yards, 19 first downs and five touchdowns, driven by Joe Burrow and a fiery halftime speech from Ja’Marr Chase. The piece also notes the team's struggling run game (third‑fewest rushing yards this season), highlights Dexter Lawrence’s impact on the defensive line, and questions the benching of rookie Shemar Stewart.
