Report: Rams LT Alaric Jackson dealing with blood clots
Los Angeles Rams left tackle Alaric Jackson is dealing with blood clots for the second time since 2022, NFL Network reported on Friday.
While Jackson is expected to play this season, the Rams secured insurance at the position by agreeing to terms with free agent tackle D.J. Humphries on Thursday.
Jackson, 26, followed up the 2022 season in which he played just eight games (six starts) by starting 29 of the Rams' 34 games over the past two campaigns.
Humphries, 31, started 15 games with the Arizona Cardinals in 2023 before sustaining a torn ACL. He joined the Kansas City Chiefs in late November of last season and started two games.
Humphries has started all 100 career games he has played since the Cardinals selected him with the 24th overall pick of the 2015 NFL Draft. He made the Pro Bowl in 2021.

Cincinnati Reacts To Exciting Jason and Travis Kelce News
Cincinnati Reacts To Exciting Jason and Travis Kelce News originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It's been an incredible ride for Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. The 35-year-old briefly considered retirement after last season but confirmed earlier this month that he's coming back. Kelce has made the Pro Bowl ten times in his storied career. Advertisement His brother Jason recently wrapped up a remarkable 13-year NFL career with the Philadelphia Eagles. A six-time All-Pro, Jason helped bring a Super Bowl title to the City of Brotherly Love and will go down as one of the greatest centers in league history. Earlier this week, both brothers got more well-deserved recognition. ESPN revealed its NFL All-Quarter Century team, highlighting the best players from the past 25 years. Both Kelce brothers made the cut. The University of Cincinnati, where both played their college football, celebrated the announcement with a message: 'Congrats, fellas! @tkelce @JasonKelce' The graphic also noted that Cincinnati is the only Big 12 school with two players selected. Advertisement Travis is one of three tight ends on the list, joining Rob Gronkowski and Tony Gonzalez. Jason was the lone center named. Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (87).Stephen Lew-Imagn Images The quarterback selections included Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Patrick Mahomes. The wide receivers were Randy Moss, Julio Jones and Marvin Harrison. The running backs selected were Priest Holmes, Christian McCaffrey and Derrick Henry. The Kelce brothers overlapped at Cincinnati. Jason played from 2007 to 2010 before being drafted in the sixth round of the 2011 NFL Draft. Travis redshirted in 2008 but went on to appear in 35 games from 2009 to 2012. Their careers have been nothing short of legendary, on the field, in the locker room and now, on an exclusive list honoring greatness across a quarter century of NFL history.

NFL top 100 rankings: Arizona Cardinals TE Trey McBride comes in at No. 42
Pete Prisco ranked the top 100 players of 2025 in the NFL. Only Trey McBride makes the list for the Cardinals. Every offseason, we see player rankings — top 100, top 101, top 50, whatever. Every year, we see where Arizona Cardinals players land. CBS Sports' Pete Prisco gave his top 100 list entering the 2025 season. Only one Cardinals player made the list — not Budda Baker, not James Conner. The only Cardinal to make the top 100 was tight end Trey McBride, coming in at No. 42, moving up from No. 83 a year ago. McBride finished fourth in the league with 111 catches in his breakout season. He had just two touchdown catches, which is a number that will go up this season ... count on it. McBride 100% should be on this list. He has entered the conversation as being the best tight end in the NFL. It is true that his two touchdown catches were simply fluky. He did rush for a touchdown and score once on a fumble recovery in the end zone. He was a frequent target in the red zone, but because of a couple of drops and a couple of missed throws by quarterback Kyler Murray, he didn't end up with six to eight touchdown grabs. Of course, while McBride is an easy choice for this list, two Cardinals players are notably snubbed — Baker and Conner. Baker continues to play at an elite level at safety and gets Pro Bowl nods year after year, a sign that coaches and players respect and value him. Conner's absence is disappointing because he produces among the best running backs, reaching nearly 1,100 yards last season and continuing to be a big-play runner as he advances in his career. Looking ahead to next offseason, hopefully McBride isn't alone. It would be good to see McBride, Baker, Conner, quarterback Kyler Murray and receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. in Prisco's rankings in 2026.

Ex Steelers LB 'Excited' Aaron Rodgers is in Pittsburgh
Ex Steelers LB 'Excited' Aaron Rodgers is in Pittsburgh originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Unless you've been living under a rock, you've heard the news that 10-time Pro Bowler and four-time NFL MVP, Aaron Rodgers, will suit up for the Pittsburgh Steelers next season. Advertisement It was a long and arduous process, but Rodgers finally agreed to a one-year, $13.65 million contract with $10 million guaranteed. One Steelers legend, four-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champion linebacker Joey Porter Sr., couldn't be happier that Rodgers is in town. 'Man, me being honest, I was excited,' Porter said. 'I got to play against Aaron Rodgers and watch Aaron Rodgers do his thing. I feel like he got a lot of juice left in the arm. … He's not a guy that is going to go out there and trick it off. He ain't going to put us in bad situations. We ain't asking him to save us — we ask him not to lose the four games that we lose every year that we're not supposed to lose.' Porter Sr. outlined his experience playing against Rodgers on the Not Just Football with Cam Heyward podcast. Advertisement The question, though, is, which version of Rodgers will the Steelers get? Porter Sr. played against the Rodgers who was winning league MVPs and throwing for 40 touchdowns each season. That's not the player who took the field last year for the New York Jets. Rodgers, who turns 42 in December, led the Jets to a 5-12 mark in his only full season in New York. Don't forget (Jets fans won't) that he missed all but four plays of the 2023 campaign after rupturing his Achilles on the first drive of the first game after joining the team two offseasons ago. Last season should be one to forget for Rodgers. He finished below the league average in passer rating - a stat of which he's the all-time career leader, and 31st in the league in QBR - behind names like Aidan O'Connell and Kirk Cousins. Advertisement His five wins last season are his lowest win total since 2017, when he played just seven games for Green Bay and posted a 4-3 mark. Rodgers' previous low win total was six, which he posted three times since taking over as the Packers' starting quarterback in 2008. Which Rodgers will Pittsburgh get in 2025? It shouldn't take long to find out. Related: Analyst Thinks T.J.
