Of course, the league’s latest action in controlling social media and multimedia is disguised as a new rule for its teams, not another affront to fans.

TMZ obtained dashboard and surveillance footage that showed the 6-6 defensive tackle tussle with an officer after he was pulled over for speeding. The NFL later suspended McDowell for the first two games of the season, according to an NFL Network report.

McDowell eventually sat on the floor but refused to get on his stomach....

The 2017 installment of Thanksgiving Day football features a tripleheader for the 12th consecutive season. The tradition of Thanksgiving Day and NFL football in general, however, is more historic. On Thanksgiving in 1925, a crowd of 36,000 (then the largest in professional football history) watched the Chicago Bears play the Chicago Cardinals to a scoreless tie at Wrigley Field. In 1934, the Detroit Lions and the defending world champion Bears played on Thanksgiving in the first NFL game nationally broadcast (NBC)....

The NFL had often expressed hope that moving the deadline to after Week 8 would spark trade action across the league. There had been speculation in previous seasons that a lot of action would come at the deadline, but there were rarely many big-time results. But 2022 bucked the trend of the deadline being a rather uneventful in-season milestone for the league. Overall, there were 10 trades agreed upon on trade deadline day....

He did not return to action, and there was some concern that Waller had a severe tear in his knee. After several tests on Friday, Darren Waller was diagnosed with a strained IT band, which is a minor injury, and is, thankfully, not a season-ending one. The Raiders have a long week before their next game in Week 13 against Washington. There is some hope Waller could play that game....

Is it good enough to blend the two together and see what came of Chip Kelly’s one season in control of personnel decisions for the then-playoff contending Philadelphia Eagles, for example? Sure thing, especially since … 1) the DeMarco Murray signing that spring was one of the defining moves of that year, and 2) Kelly lasted just one year in that position, and two years later his replacements on the sideline and front office took the Eagles to their first Super Bowl victory....

Los Angeles is scheduled to open its 2020 NFL campaign against the Cowboys at the new SoFi Stadium on Sept. 13.

Officials let the clock run after the whistle for a few seconds in the fourth quarter to adjust for a late start on a punt, the NFL confirmed on Monday.

Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio reported Wednesday night that the NFL has held settlement talks with Brady’s reps, but several “influential” team owners oppose any alteration of Brady’s four-game penalty and have made their opposition clear to commissioner Roger Goodell.

The quarterback is suffering from an ankle issue, which has shelved him for the preseason and has held him out of full practices. Will he be ready when Sept. 8 rolls around? Meanwhile, Kenny Stills and Dolphins owner Stephen Ross aren’t seeing eye-to-eye with Ross’ support of President Donald Trump and Cowboys Jerry Jones used a rather gross analogy to describe how the contract situation with some of Dallas’ star players are going....

As disappointing as it is to be cut, it’s often not the end of the line. Each NFL team carries with it a practice squad of players that aren’t on the active roster but still train, prepare and, yes, practice with the 53-man roster. These units provide key depth for teams and allow young players to hone their crafts working with NFL teams. The rules surrounding the practice squad used to be complex, but in recent seasons, the NFL has relaxed them a bit to create more opportunities for a wider variety of players....
