Seahawks HC Mike Macdonald told @BrockHuard and @TheMikeSalk on Seattle Sports 710 ESPN that he is ruling out Sam Darnold for this week’s game vs the Raiders. But tests on Drew Lock’s oblique injury were “good”, and they believe he can start vs. the Raiders. https://t.co/mba3rSJrZt
Sources: The #Jets have received calls for weeks on DE Will McDonald, including past offers involving a Day 2 pick. But the organization still believes in McDonald’s talent and would like to remain patient with his development. https://t.co/XDPRsEyVFF
How does Jessie Bates III help the Jaguars defense? Are Falcons still contending? https://t.co/tJMWeCH9OM
Sources: The #Panthers have received calls on Pro Bowl DT Derrick Brown, but the message has been that he isn’t being moved. Teams have tried to respond to the Jeffery Simmons trade, but players of that caliber haven’t been available. https://t.co/q8GH8okaoc
Giants QB JJ McCarthy suffered a hip pointer during Sunday’s win in Philadelphia, but the team is confident that he will be ready for Thursday night’s game vs. Washington. https://t.co/suB5idVpzp
From @gmfb: #Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes checked out OK after injuring his throwing elbow yesterday. https://t.co/xI29W4jCk5
The NFC North is the 1st division in NFL history with every team 3 games over .500 through Week 9. The NFC South is the 1st division in NFL history with every team 2 games below .500 through Week 9.
Jaguars swung big at safety but aren't only ones in that market. Bills have scanned the safety pool of late. My sense is Budda Baker would welcome chance to play for contender if AZ entertains talks (big if). Tennessee has calls on Amani Hooker but wants to keep him.
From @GMFB: All eyes are on the #Colts at the trade deadline, as Indy is waiting to be blown away by an offer. https://t.co/Hvn6tdWeRe
Another thing, too. This new regime hit on quite a few decisions this past offseason with limited resources, including Day Three picks that look like they will be long-term contributors, if not impact players. More draft capital is extremely valuable to go along with all that cap space. #Falcons
From @gmfb: #Jets pass-rusher Will McDonald IV wants out, as he’s feeling marginalized because of a lack of snaps. https://t.co/3AXT0hC8oD
From @GMFB: The #Jaguars went all in, trading for #Falcons star S Jessie Bates III. https://t.co/dOIQafOhe8
The #Falcons made a statement this past offseason that they would build around their young offensive core: Bijan Robinson, Drake London, Kyle Pitts and Matthew Bergeron. All of them got long-term extensions. Atlanta can now put the pieces it wants around them with a ton of cap space and four draft picks in the first two days.
Jessie Bates III has been a star for the #Falcons and a terrific human off the field. There is no doubt. But this is similar to a Kaden Elliss situation. Bates will turn 30 in February. And getting a second-round pick back for a safety (plus a 2028 fifth-rounder) is a solid haul.
The #Falcons now have another second-round pick this coming offseason to go along with the most salary-cap space in the NFL. The new Atlanta regime is going to be given a real shot to shape the team the way they want.

A tale of two divisions NFC North #Vikings 6-1 #Bears 7-2 #Lions 6-2 #Packers 6-3 Combined: 25-8 NFC South #Panthers 3-5 #Saints 3-5 #Buccaneers 3-6 #Falcons 3-6 Combined: 12-22 https://t.co/7EY7atTkxi
Do you like turnovers? Have we got the game for you. Jaylon Johnson to the house. I feel bad for Alex Anzalone and the Buc in the stands, not necessarily in that order. https://t.co/dy6OGIoEca
At 21 years, 70 days, Giants LB Arvell Reese became the youngest player ever to record at least 3 sacks in a game. (Note: sacks became official in 1982) https://t.co/U3DaycCFSW
McPherson makes it from 57 yards out. Bengals lead 24-10 with :24 left in the half. #Falcons
Giants QB JJ McCarthy now has won his last five starts, the longest active winning streak among NFL QBs. But the Giants have lost 13 straight games in Philadelphia; the Giants last win at Philadelphia was in Week 8 of the 2013 season. Something has to give today. https://t.co/svU0yaEiOw
#Falcons have to punt. They could have really used points on that drive before the half. Instead, the Bengals get the ball back with 57 seconds left.
Some trade talk on ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown: https://t.co/C7yHaLsInz
Just Beej it. #Falcons
With Shedeur Sanders, Joe Milton and Gardner Minshew all expected to make their first start of the season today, the NFL then will have had 47 different starting QBs this season, the second most through Week 9 in the past 15 years and trailing only the 48 QBs that started in the first nine weeks of the 2019 season.

Tee Higgins: I can do it, too. https://t.co/ALMcd61oat
Burrow to Higgins for a touchdown. #Falcons
Chase has seven catches for 130 yards and a touchdown -- and there are still five minutes left in the half. #Falcons
Chase keeping this drive alive with circus catches.
