Arrowhead Pride Midseason Awards: The Chiefs’ top Defensive Rookie
At the NFL midseason mark, the Arrowhead Pride names rookie cornerback Mansoor Delane the Chiefs' top defensive newcomer. Drafted sixth overall from LSU, Delane logged a game‑opening interception against the Broncos, then posted 10 tackles and a pass defended in each of the next two wins over Miami and Las Vegas. By Week 8 he boasts an 81.6 run‑defense grade (9th among CBs) and a 77.4 coverage grade—best among rookie corners—with a 79.7 overall PFF rating. His early impact helps fill the void left by departures of All‑Pros Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson.

Steelers Get Huge Injury Boost, Crucial DT Back from IR
The Steelers announce defensive tackle Derrick Harmon’s activation after a month on injured reserve. Harmon's left‑foot injury forced him out of the Oct. 1 loss to Cleveland, and he missed the next four games before becoming eligible to return this week. With his absence, the front line leaned on Keeanu Benton, Yahya Black, Cam Heyward and unexpectedly productive rookies Gabriel Rubio and Kevin Jobity Jr., helping Pittsburgh rank third in the NFL in run defense at 83.9 yards per game. Coach Mike McCarthy says the team must cut a roster spot to make room for Harmon’s comeback.

Steelers’ Eli Heidenreich Shares His Salute to Service Story
Steelers rookie running back Eli Heidenreich, a U.S. Marine Corps Reserve second lieutenant and 2026 NFL Draft seventh‑round pick, shares his "Salute to Service" story. Heidenreich, a former Navy Academy star who set a school record with 941 receiving yards, walked onto the draft stage in his Navy uniform and now wears a Marine Corps decal on his helmet for the 2026 season. He reflects on representing the Naval Academy, the service legacy in his family, and using the NFL’s Salute to Service platform to highlight veterans’ issues. He has appeared in three games, logging three kickoff returns for 73 yards.
Steelers Designate DT Derrick Harmon To Return From IR
The Pittsburgh Steelers announce that defensive tackle Derrick Harmon has been designated to return from injured reserve, opening a 21‑day practice window before activation. Harmon's foot injury, sustained in the Week 4 loss to the Browns, kept him on the Reserve/IR list despite practicing. The 2025 No. 21 overall pick is in the second year of a four‑year, $17.97 million contract and has logged 12 tackles, 1.5 sacks and a forced fumble in four games this season.
Vikings QB Kirk Cousins not guaranteed to start vs. Packers, but door is wide open
Head coach Kevin O’Connell says Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins could start Sunday’s NFC North clash at Lambeau Field, but the decision isn’t final after Minnesota acquired the 38‑year‑old from the Raiders for a 2027 third‑round pick. Cousins returns to the team he led from 2018‑2023, and his familiarity with O’Connell’s system adds intrigue against the Packers. The Vikings sit 6‑2 after a 6‑0 start, with Kyler Murray sidelined by a hamstring and Carson Wentz having thrown two interceptions in a 23‑6 loss to Buffalo. Cousins is 202‑315 for 2,340 yards, 20 TDs and eight INTs this season, completing 64.1% in nine starts.
Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em Week 10
Week 10 NFL start‑em‑sit‑em advice hinges on injury‑driven lineups and four team byes. Bryce Young becomes a prime streaming QB 2 in New Orleans, which faces a porous Saints pass defense and a 48.5‑point game. Jets’ Geno Smith offers volume against a strong Bills defense in a high‑scoring 51‑point matchup. For RBs, Blake Corum earns touchdown upside on the Rams’ run‑heavy script versus injury‑hit Arizona, while Tyler Allgeier’s heavy carry load makes him a solid RB2 despite a tough Cardinals defense. Giants’ Cam Skattebo returns from hamstring injury and should reclaim lead‑back duties against a Washington run defense that’s inefficient per play. These picks prioritize players with secured roles and favorable matchups amid the injury chaos.
Steelers DT Derrick Harmon returns to practice
Steelers defensive tackle Derrick Harmon is set to return to practice on Wednesday as head coach Mike McCarthy opens his 21‑day activation window. Harmon's foot injury in the Week 4 loss to the Browns placed him on IR, and the team must decide by the window’s end whether to activate him for the season. Since his absence, Pittsburgh boasts the NFL’s top defensive rush success rate and ranks fourth in total EPA. His comeback arrives before a tough stretch featuring a Week 10 matchup with the Bengals, followed by games against the Eagles, Broncos and Texans.
Chargers-Ravens Game Preview: Bolts to face former DC in primetime
Week 10 primetime pits winless Chargers against a Jacoby Brissett-led Ravens in a rare showdown between former coach Ken Minter and his ex‑mentor. The Chargers sit 26th in total yards (291.6) and dead‑last in scoring (15.1 ppg) despite QB Justin Herbert’s 1,591 passing yards. Their defense allows 27.4 points per game, with Khalil Mack leading the sack count. The Ravens boast a stronger run game (4th in the league, 137.8 rushing yards) anchored by Derrick Henry’s 689 yards and 8 TDs, while Lamar Jackson throws for 967 yards and 16 TDs. Both teams have combined four wins, all belonging to Baltimore, making the outcome unpredictable.
Bills at Vikings was pretty boring (with penalties anyway)
The Bills‑Vikings matchup turned into a penalty showcase rather than a thriller. Minnesota racked up twice as many flags as Buffalo, but their penalties averaged only five yards each, resulting in a low 2.0 Harm score. Buffalo’s 9.4 Harm came from a mix of false starts, an intentional grounding call on Josh Allen and a 19‑yard pass‑interference on Terrel Bernard. With no game‑changing calls, the author labels the contest “boring as heck,” urging readers to skip the play‑by‑play and move on.
Look Who Came Crawling Back To Kirk Cousins
The Vikings shock the NFL by trading quarterback Kirk Cousins back to Minnesota on Tuesday, a move few predicted but many now applaud. After a chaotic offseason that saw the team flirt with J.J. McCarthy, Kyler Murray, a ham‑string‑injured Murray, Carson Wentz, and even rejected Max Brosmer, Minnesota’s quarterback room turned into a "radioactive dump" and forced the club to rehiring Cousins. The trade, initially rumored when Cousins headed to the Raiders, finally materializes as the Vikings admit they need a proven starter, ending a six‑year roller coaster of speculation and disappointment.
Trade Deadline Aftermath: J.K. Dobbins, Calvin Ridley, Broncos, Browns, Chiefs, Raiders, Steelers
The trade deadline buzz fizzles for several NFL teams. Denver tried to close on RB Jonathan Taylor and eyed TE Evan Engram, but the Colts and 49ers stayed put; the Broncos also passed on a J.K. Dobbins deal, citing depth. Cleveland explored an edge rusher or blocking tight end but made no moves. Kansas City scouted cornerbacks but held steady. In Las Vegas, Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins rebuffed trade rumors, preferring the Vikings, while the team negotiates a third‑round pick and assumes his $10 million bonus to satisfy Minnesota’s offer. Pittsburgh pursued WR Calvin Ridley and WR Josh Downs, yet couldn’t seal a deal, hampered by Ridley’s airport incident and a missing 2027 fourth‑round pick.

Vikings vs. Packers Fantasy Football Worksheet, Week 10
Sharp Football Analysis’s Week 10 fantasy worksheet breaks down the Vikings‑Packers clash. Minnesota (rank 3.5) is a defensive slog, averaging just 32.8 points per game and posting a league‑best 7‑1 record on the under, while Green Bay (rank –3.5) leans on a high‑powered passing attack, leading the NFL in 20‑, 30‑ and 40‑plus‑yard completions and scoring a league‑high 74 points off takeaways. Quarterback Jordan Love comes in hot after a 372‑yard, three‑touchdown performance, but he’s been blitzed heavily and faces a Vikings defense that allows only 27.6% of drives to score. The worksheet highlights key stats—points per game, offensive/defensive yards per play, rush/pass percentages—and suggests caution streaming Love despite his recent surge.
Vikings trade deadline grade after fixing QB issues with Kirk Cousins deal
The Minnesota Vikings trade deadline receives a B+ after GM Nolan Teasley brings back veteran Kirk Cousins from the Las Vegas Raiders for a 2027 third‑round pick. The move follows Carson Wentz's three‑turnover night and the earlier trade of J.J. McCarthy. Cousins, who knows Kevin O’Connell’s system and starred for Minnesota from 2018‑2023, is expected to start against the Packers, giving the league‑best defense a steadier quarterback without mortgaging future assets. At 38 and coming off an Achilles injury, Cousins carries risk, but his $10 million roster bonus in 2027 limits long‑term cash commitment.
ESPN Breaks Their Silence After Rex Ryan Arrested On 6 Charges
Former NFL coach and ESPN analyst Rex Ryan surrenders to Nashville police after allegedly hitting two pedestrians with his truck and fleeing the scene. He faces six charges—including leaving the accident scene, failure to render aid, and running a red light—each count filed twice, and his bond is set at $6,000. ESPN released a brief statement confirming they are in contact with Ryan. The incident follows Ryan’s tumultuous coaching career with the Jets and Bills and his tenure at ESPN since 2016, raising questions about his future on the network.
Patriots Designate FB Reggie Gilliam To Return From IR
Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel announces fullback Reggie Gillill is slated to return from injured reserve, kicking off his 21‑day practice window before activation. The 29‑year‑old, who joined New England on a three‑year, up‑to‑$12 million deal in March, has appeared in four games this season with one catch for four yards. Previously an undrafted Toledo rookie with the Bills, Gilliam re‑signed with Buffalo in 2025 before moving to the Patriots.
Cowboys’ George Pickens injury update after not getting traded before deadline
The Dallas Cowboys confirm wide receiver George Picked is back on the field after a hamstring/shoulder issue that sidelined him against the Colts. Pickens participated in individual drills at practice on Saturday, putting him in the lineup for Sunday’s home game against the NFC top‑seed San Francisco 49ers (kickoff 4:25 p.m. ET). Despite trade rumors and a stalled contract dispute, he remains with Dallas for the rest of the season. The 49ers, fresh from acquiring Keenan Allen, pose a major test for the Cowboys’ defense.
