1+ min ago (303+ words) The Pittsburgh Steelers are reportedly set to take a brutal blow to their offensive line. According to Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the expectation is that left tackle Broderick Jones will miss the remainder of the 2025 campaign with his neck injury. Dulac notes that the injury is worse than initially feared and the second-year tackle is not expected back this season. "Broderick Jones has a neck injury that is more serious than originally thought and will miss the remainder of the 2025 season, per sources," Dulac reported. Jones suffered the injury in Week 12 and has since been placed on injured reserve, which knocks him out for at least the next four games. While Jones wasn't having a great year by any means, he has been playing better of late, so he will be missed. In Week 13, the Steelers are deploying…...

Symbolizing the good performance of the Reds, Alexander Isak opened the scoring in the 60th minute, scoring his very first league goal. Cody Gakpo then sealed the victory for his team in injury time (90+2). The match was also marked by the avoidable expulsion of Lucas Paqueta in the 84th minute. The former OL player received two consecutive yellow cards for dissent, leaving West Ham with ten men. Overall, Liverpool dominated the match in both play and chances, and the victory allows Arne Slot to breathe after recent inconsistent results. This Sunday evening, the Reds are eighth in the Premier League. " BEN STANSALL - AFP or licensors...

6+ min ago (237+ words) Keon Coleman was supposed to be a star wide receiver for the Buffalo Bills. But in each of the last two weeks, Coleman has been a healthy scratch and inactive. The No. 33 overall pick in 2024 showed up late to a meeting, and not for the first time, to earn his benching. Coleman seems likely to return in Week 13 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but in the meantime, he's been handed quite the insult.

9+ min ago (338+ words) Jack Little's long road finally reached the majors this season, though his time with the Dodgers was brief, at least in Los Angeles. The Dodgers drafted Little out of Stanford in the fifth round in 2019, and like many prospects had nowhere to play in 2020 with no minor league season that year. Then came Tommy John surgery, which wiped out all of 2022 and a large chunk of 2023. Little worked his way up the ladder, reaching Triple-A Oklahoma City in 2024, and had a 2.20 ERA and 24.3-percent strikeout rate with 10 saves when he got his first call to the big leagues on June 19. This was a weird time of the season for the Dodgers, who did not play the division-rival Padres or Giants until mid-June, and had seven games in 11 days against San Diego during this stretch. The last of those seven Dodgers-Padres…...

10+ min ago (298+ words) The San Francisco 49ers won't have kicker Eddy Pineiro on the field once again in Week 13. Pineiro suffered a hamstring injury in the Week 11 win over the Arizona Cardinals and has not practice or played since then. Head coach Kyle Shanahan has labeled Pineiro as week to week. With Pineiro sidelined for a second consecutive game, the 49ers will be deploying fellow veteran kicker Matt Gay in his place. Here's what we know about Pineiro's return timeline. Unfortunately, there is no concrete answer to this question yet. The Niners did not place Pineiro on injured reserve, which means they do not expect him to miss more than three games. He will have missed two as of Sunday. While Pineiro does have a chance to return in Week 14, we would put those odds at less than 50/50 after he didn't show any progress in…...

11+ min ago (368+ words) Lane Kiffin and the Ole Miss Rebels improved to 11-1 on Friday, defeating the Mississippi State Bulldogs 38-19 in the Egg Bowl. Despite having just one loss, they won't be playing in the SEC Championship Game. That'll be a matchup between the Georgia Bulldogs and Alabama Crimson Tide. However, the Rebels will likely make the College Football Playoff. The program's success has made Kiffin a top target in the coaching carousel, often linked to the LSU Tigers and the Florida Gators. On Saturday, On3's Brett McMurphy, Pete Nakos and Chris Low reported that Kiffin is set to be LSU's head coach in 2026 and leave Ole Miss. That means the Rebels will need to find a replacement. In an article from The Sporting News, Bill Bender named Georgia defensive coordinator Glenn Schumann as a potential candidate. "The Georgia defensive coordinator has emerged as…...

13+ min ago (412+ words) The Los Angeles Rams are in great shape in the NFC West, and also look poised to secure the number one seed in the NFC thanks to the Philadelphia Eagles' struggles lately. One of the main reasons why the Rams are in such great shape is that the play of Matthew Stafford has never been better. He's playing at an MVP level, so much so that he's approaching multiple pieces of NFL history. But, as Adam Schefter of ESPN points out, there's one statistic that Stafford is close to breaking the NFL record. To do so, he needs to surpass future Hall of Famer Tom Brady, and he can accomplish this feat with one pass during the Week 13 matchup vs. the Carolina Panthers. "Stafford has a chance Sunday to break the NFL's all-time record for most consecutive touchdown passes without…...
