According to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, despite other team's recent inquiries, the Indianapolis Colts have no intentions of trading breakout defensive tackle Ade Adebawore ahead of the league's trade deadline:
With longtime veteran DeForest Buckner's departure, the 25-year-old Adebawore, who was originally a 2023 4th round pick by Indianapolis, is expected to immediately start full-time as his replacement going forward in 2026.
While those are big shoes to fill at 3T, Adebawore has had a standout campaign in a rotational role, recording 17 tackles (7 solo), a pass defensed, 4.0 sacks, and 15 total QB pressures during 7 games (1 start) this season.
Athletic, fast, twitchy, and featuring a surprisingly strong bull rush for his size at 6,'2", 282 pounds, Adebawore has really been flashing his immense athleticism so far this season and turning it into significant on-the-field production—albeit during rotational reps previously:
As a pending free agent in the last year of his current rookie contract, Adebawore appears to be an ascending young player and potential building block, who the rebuilding Colts would ******* uredly like to keep long-term defensively, with an ample amount of projected 2027 available team salary cap ******* e at $61.9M right now.

New England Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown did indeed suffer a high-ankle sprain on Wednesday night against the Seattle Seahawks. An MRI taken on Thursday confirmed the initial diagnosis and according to a report by NFL Network's Ian Rapoport suggests that the 29-year-old "[is] expected to be out at least four weeks."
A follow-up report by NFL insider Jordan Schultz put the projected recovery time at around 3-6 weeks, with internal discussions whether or not a move to injured reserve will be necessary.
The New England Patriots will be without their No. 1 wide receiver for the foreseeable future. A.J. Brown, who exited Wednesday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks in the third quarter, is believed to have suffered a high-ankle sprain.
According to a report by NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo, how much time he will miss will be determined by an MRI on Thursday. X-rays did come back negative for a fracture of the injured right ankle, though.
Brown, 29, joined the Patriots in a trade with the Eagles this offseason. He promptly took on a starting role, and as such was on the field for 31 of New England's first 35 snaps against Seattle. He caught three passes for 26 yards along the way and drew a 34-yard pass interference penalty to set up his team's lone touchdown.

#Patriots #Seattle #ankle #thursday

Prior to Thursday's victory over the New England Patriots, the Seattle Seahawks added some depth to their secondary with the elevation of AJ Finley to the 53 man roster to feel more secure in the home opener. With that came the corresponding move of cutting 2025's sixth round pick Bryce Cabeldue. If the Seahawks hoped to get him back onto the practice squad, their hopes were squashed.
Per Mike Garafolo, Klint Kubiak added the guard to his squad over in Las Vegas. With familiarity with the scheme that he runs, it makes sense that Kubiak would want Cabeldue to join him with the Raiders. With the ability to play both right guard and left guard, as well as right tackle and left tackle, that helps Kubiak's squad have depth along the offensive line that ranked dead last in the league in 2025. Improving the offensive line was a focus for Kubiak, adding Tyler Linderbaum to anchor the interior at center, Evan Neal, and drafting Trey Zuhn III.
As it stands right now, Cabeldue is the third left guard on the Raiders depth chart per ESPN behind Spencer Burford and Antonio Mafi.

Harrison Smith looked like he had already played his final snap for the Minnesota Vikings. They even gave their longtime safety what appeared to be a farewell last season, only for Smith to leave the door open without ever officially announcing retirement.
Now, that door has swung wide open, and the "Hitman" is coming back for another season, and his return suddenly gives the Vikings some much-needed experience in a secondary that has taken several hits this offseason.

The Vikings are bringing Smith back for his 15th NFL season on a one-year contract worth $12.25 million, with the deal capable of reaching $16.25 million through incentives, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo. The agreement comes just days before Minnesota opens the regular season against the Green Bay Packers, turning what looked like the end of Smith's career into one more run in purple.
The timing could hardly be better for the Vikings. Their safety room has been battered throughout training camp. Theo Jackson is recovering from a leg injury, third-round rookie Jakobe Thomas spent some time on the bench because of his back problem, and Jamal Adams got a season-ending quadriceps injury. Josh Metellus and Jay Ward had to carry the load, but now, the Vikings needed someone more experienced.

Now-former Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Patrick Herbert is reportedly joining his brother Justin Herbert with the LA Chargers.
During cutdown day on Sunday, the Jaguars waived Patrick. According to Mike Garafolo, he has opted to sign with the Chargers' practice squad after clearing waivers.
Garafolo adds that Patrick had multiple offers, but chose to join Justin in LA.
The Jaguars signed Patrick after the 2025 NFL draft as an undrafted free agent. He spent his rookie season on the practice squad and remained with Jacksonville throughout this offseason.
The Jaguars heavily addressed the tight end position this offseason, selecting Nate Boerkircher and Tanner Koziol in the draft. Those two, along with Brenton Strange and Quintin Morris, make up the tight end room on the 53-man roster.

Dean Connors isn't going anywhere. The Los Angeles Rams waived the undrafted rookie running back on Sunday, but after clearing waivers the next day, he's returning to Woodland Hills.
According to Mike Garafolo, the Rams are signing Connors to their practice squad. He's their first reported practice squad signing of the day, filling one of the 16 spots that are available.
Connors, like every other player cut by the Rams on Sunday, cleared waivers on Monday. He was a popular player among fans after catching three touchdown passes in the preseason, including two in the opener against the Chiefs.
He forced seven missed tackles as a runner and three more as a receiver this preseason, per PFF, so he showed off his elusiveness in the open field.
The Rams opted to go with just three running backs on their initial 53-man roster, cutting Connors after also trading Jarquez Hunter away.

The New York Giants acquired defensive tackle C.J. Okoye from the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday in exchange for a 2028 seventh-round pick, reports NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo.
Art Staple of USA TODAY provided some additional clarity, reporting that the Giants are sending their own 2028 seventh-round pick to Baltimore as part of the deal.
Okoye, a 6-foot-6, 365-pound nose tackle, reunites with Giants head coach John Harbaugh after spending the 2025 season in Baltimore. The 24-year-old Nigerian product entered the NFL through the International Player Pathway Program following two seasons on the Los Angeles Chargers' practice squad. He also trained at former Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora's Uprise camp.
Promoted to Baltimore's active roster last October, Okoye appeared in 13 games and recorded 15 tackles, one tackle for loss and one pass deflection on 214 defensive snaps. The massive interior lineman gives New York another large body after the offseason trade of Dexter Lawrence and questions about depth behind veterans D.J. Reader and Shelby Harris.
The move comes as the Giants finalize their 53-man roster ahead of the regular season.

The Minnesota Vikings have one of the best, and potentially one of the deepest, wide receiver rooms in the NFL. You have Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and Jauan Jennings as your three-headed monster, and Tai Felton is showing out in training camp.
One member of this wide receiver room will not be with the team in week one because he is facing a suspension.
Vikings wide receiver Jeshaun Jones has been suspended for three games for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. Jones will be eligible for reinstatement on September 28th. The news broke from NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.
#Vikings WR Jeshaun Jones has been suspended three games for violating the NFL’s substance-abuse policy. Jones will be eligible for reinstatement on Monday, Sept. 28.
Jones, a former undrafted free agent out of Maryland, has been with the Minnesota Vikings since 2024. He has spent the majority of his time on the practice squad, as he has totaled just one appearance in an NFL game, which came last season. With this suspension hitting and the deadline for NFL teams to whittle their rosters down to 53 players, it makes you wonder if Jones' time in Minnesota has come to an end.

The New York Giants have traded guard Josh Ezeudu to the Kansas City Chiefs, per a report form Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL.com.
The Giants are receiving a seventh-round pick in return for Ezeudu.
Ezeudu, 26, was originally drafted by the Giants out of North Carolina in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft. He primarily served as depth at left guard as a rookie, playing 289 snaps at the position. He was used as a swing tackle in 2023 and 2024, usually backing up Andrew Thomas at left tackle.
Ezeudu appeared to move up the Giants' depth chart after the team traded guard Daniel Faalele to the Jacksonville Jaguars for a sixth-round pick after the first preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings. Ezeudu played 30 snaps at right guard against the Miami Dolphins before finishing the game at right tackle.
It's interesting that the Giants have been dealing from their offensive line depth, and moving to recoup lost late-round draft capital. We'll see if the Giants are done making deals or if more are in the works.

#tackle #traded #pick

The Giants traded offensive guard Joshua Ezeudu to the Chiefs on Tuesday night, Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports. New York will get a 2028 seventh-rounder in return.
Ezeudu, 26, was listed on the team's depth chart as the backup to Jermaine Eluemunor at right tackle, but coach John Harbaugh had said Ezeudu would train in multiple spots.
The Giants selected Ezeudu in the third round of the 2022 draft.
A calf injury sidelined Ezeudu for all of 2025, but he has appeared in 33 games, with 10 starts.
The Chiefs wanted depth in the interior of their offensive line, especially at right guard behind Trey Smith.

Saints reportedly sign former Raiders two-time All-Pro kicker originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The New Orleans Saints have been holding a few different position battles this summer, and one of those has been at the kicker spot.
Charlie Smyth, last season's rookie hero, is competing with Tanner Brown, a rookie kicker out of Oklahoma State who previously spent time with the Los Angeles Rams.
But according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, the Saints are going to sign veteran two-time All-Pro kicker Daniel Carlson to the roster to add a bit more competition to this kicker room.
"The Saints are signing two-time All-Pro K Daniel Carlson, his agents at RangeSportsRMP tell me and RapSheet," Garafolo reports.

The Seattle Seahawks are taking a look at another accomplished cornerback just as the availability of their planned addition at the position has come into focus.
Seattle worked out veteran Trevon Diggs, a two-time Pro Bowl selection and former first-team All-Pro, according to the NFL's transaction wire. The tryout comes as NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo reported August 18 that Terrion Arnold will be placed on the commissioner's exempt list whenever he signs with the Seahawks, making him unable to practice or play.
The Seahawks are still planning to complete their deal with Arnold, according to Rapoport, but are working through the timing of the move. That uncertainty makes Seattle's continued exploration of the cornerback market more meaningful than a routine August workout.
Diggs offers a much different kind of option: an established veteran with elite production on his résumé, but significant questions about whether he can recapture that form after several injury-plagued seasons.
Diggs, 27, became one of the NFL's most recognizable defensive backs during his six seasons with the Dallas Cowboys.

Saints linked to polarizing ex-Bears, Steelers WR free agent after Jordyn Tyson injury news originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The New Orleans Saints got some massively unfortunate news ahead of the 2026 season when it was reported that Jordyn Tyson was going to miss a lot of time.
He has a hamstring issue and will likely miss the first month of the season, if not more, as he recovers. Now, with one of their key wide receivers down for a while, the Saints have turned to free agency to scour the market for some more depth.
According to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, the Saints have brought in former Pittsburgh Steelers and Chicago Bears WR Chase Claypool for a free agent visit, along with veteran journeyman WR Josh Reynolds.
"With Jordyn Tyson dealing with a hamstring injury, the Saints worked out veteran WRS Chase Claypool and Josh Reynolds today," Garafolo reports.

The New York Giants are adding some serious NFL experience to their running back room. The team has agreed to a one-year deal with former first-round pick Najee Harris, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo.
Harris brings a proven track record to New York, but he also arrives after a season-ending injury cut his first year with the Los Angeles Chargers dramatically short.

Harris entered the NFL as the 24th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft and immediately became a major part of the Pittsburgh Steelers' offense. In each of his first four NFL seasons, Harris rushed for more than 1,000 yards, making him one of the league's most consistent running backs during that stretch.

#najee #pittsburgh #steelers #year

The New York Giants are signing former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris, per Mike Garafolo. Harris visited with the Giants yesterday and will now be joining the team. The terms of the deal are yet to be known.
Harris was drafted by the Steelers in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft and rushed for 1,000 yards in each of his four seasons in Pittsburgh, never missing a game. He signed with the Los Angeles Chargers ahead of the 2025 season after the Steelers declined to pick up his fifth-year option before the 2024 campaign.
Unfortunately for Harris, his stint with the Chargers would be short-lived. He appeared in just three games before tearing his Achilles, ending his season. He now joins his former rival, John Harbaugh, who took over as head coach of the Giants after being fired by the Baltimore Ravens.

After Saints rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson went down with a hamstring injury during a joint-practice session with the Jaguars last week, questions have been flying around regarding the status of the training camp standout. An update was finally delivered on Monday, and it does not bode well for the Saints.
According to reports from Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo, Tyson's hamstring injury is expected to keep him sidelined for roughly two months. In addition, he might begin the season on the Saints ' short-term Injured Reserve list.
The unfortunate injury brings to an abrupt halt the momentum Tyson had been building over training camp, as he had been ramping up his involvement with the team's offense in the week prior to his injury – reportedly generating more first-team opportunities and developing chemistry with quarterback Tyler Shough.
It continues a string of unfortunate injury issues that have plagued Tyson throughout his collegiate career, as he also dealt with a strained hamstring and a sprained ankle last year, as well as a fractured collarbone in 2024. The Saints will hope to see Tyson recover quickly and avoid such recurring injuries as he gets his professional career underway.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Vita Vea remain at an impasse over a new contract, but there may be reason to be optimistic that the situation won't ultimately end with the Pro Bowl defensive tackle being traded. NFL Network's Mike Garafolo provided an update Wednesday that should catch Buccaneers fans' attention. According to Garafolo, communication between Vea's representatives and Tampa Bay remains open, even though the two sides are far from an agreement.
Vea requested a trade after the Buccaneers and his representatives failed to agree on a contract extension. The 31-year-old is entering the final year of his current deal, which is scheduled to pay him roughly $18 million in 2026. However, the fact that the lines of communication remain open suggests Tampa Bay isn't simply preparing to move on from one of the most important players on its defense.
Garafolo also highlighted why Vea believes he deserves more money. Over the past two seasons, Vea has recorded 101 quarterback pressures and 11.5 sacks, according to Pro Football Focus. Those numbers compare favorably with other highly paid interior defensive linemen, including Jeffery Simmons, Quinnen Williams, Jalen Carter and Dexter Lawrence. Vea responded to Garafolo's post with a simple shrugging emoji, as if to say the numbers speak for themselves.
For the Buccaneers, keeping Vea would be a major boost to a defense that has already changed significantly. Tampa Bay is counting on young players such as Rueben Bain Jr. and Josiah Trotter Jr. to contribute immediately, making Vea's veteran presence and ability to command attention even more valuable. The trade request doesn't necessarily mean a trade is inevitable.
As long as Tampa Bay and Vea's representatives keep talking, a path to common ground remains. The Buccaneers could potentially restructure or extend his contract while keeping one of their most important defensive players in Tampa.

Hamstrung by a hamstring.
The New Orleans Saints are set to be without their rookie receiver, Jordyn Tyson, for the foreseeable future as he recovers from another hamstring injury.
Tyson is expected to miss roughly two months, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo.
The news comes just days after head coach Kellen Moore announced the rookie would miss time. While this hamstring isn't related to the previous injury that plagued him at Arizona State, it is notable that Tyson is already dealing with an injury before making his debut.
It was a concern throughout the draft process, but not enough to dissuade the Saints from selecting him with the No. 8 overall pick.

The Giants will have a new quarterback at practice this week.
Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports that they are signing Jake Haener to the active roster. Haener worked out for the team last month.
Haener was a Saints fourth-round pick in 2023 and spent three seasons with the team. He spent a short period of time with the Chiefs during the 2025 offseason.
Haener appeared in eight games during his time with New Orleans. He was 18-of-39 for 226 yards, a touchdown and an interception in that action.
Jaxson Dart, Jameis Winston, and Brandon Allen are the other quarterbacks on the Giants roster.

Although new linebacker Alex Anzalone didn't play in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' preseason-opening 24-16 win against the New York Jets, he was able to provide a noteworthy moment after the game.
While speaking with NFL insider Mike Garafolo in a post-game interview, Anzalone was detailing the work Tampa's starters, who didn't suit up for Friday's contest, were able to get in during the team's two days of joint practices with the Jets.
As the conversation turned towards Anzalone talking about who stood out to him during the game, including a show-stealing performance from rookie cornerback Ayden Garnes, whose 47-yard pick-six completely changed the game, a very large man entered the frame.
That very large man was star defensive tackle Vita Vea, who is still involved in a contract standoff with the team.
Vea and Anzalone shared a quick laugh before the former walked away, barely breaking his stride during the interaction.

The Buffalo Bills are on the list of team that have expressed interest in adding former Pro Bowl and Super Bowl champion defender Vita Vea.
Vea is in the midst of a hold-in as he looks for a new contract from his current team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs beat the New York Jets in their preseason opener on Friday and Vea sat out because of that.
If that does not happen for Vea, there is a belief he could be traded away from Tampa and reportedly the Bills have expressed interest.
According to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, Buffalo general manager Brandon Beane has checked in on Vea's availability:

Defensive tackle Vita Vea remains at odds with the Buccaneers over his contract and thus is not practicing. He wants a trade. The Buccaneers insist they aren't trading him.
Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports that the Bills, 49ers and Bears are among the teams who have called the Bucs about Vea.
Vea requested a trade ahead of training camp after spending the offseason seeking a new contract.
Philadelphia's Jalen Carter, Dallas' Quinnen Williams and Tennessee's Jeffery Simmons all have signed extensions recently, with Carter now at the top of the defensive tackle market at $38 million annually. Williams ($35.3 million per season) and Simmons ($35.276 million) are close behind.
Vea now ranks 16th with an annual average of $17.75 million.

The Bears are one of a few NFL teams who have called the Buccaneers regarding the trade availability of Pro Bowl defensive tackle Vita Vea, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported on Friday. It's worth noting that Garafolo said the Buccaneers still plan on keeping Vea, though the Bears are one of the confirmed teams to have checked in on his availability.
Vea, 31, recently requested a trade in the midst of his contract negotiations with Tampa Bay. The two-time Pro Bowler is currently in the final year of his four-year, $71 million contract he signed in 2022.
A first-round pick by the Buccaneers in 2018, Vea is coming off a season in which he posted a 78.6 PFN DT Impact Score, ranking No. 25 among 107 qualified defensive tackles in the metric. For reference, the only Bears defensive tackle to finish with a top-50 score in 2025 was Gervon Dexter. Vea finished the season with 34 tackles, 4.5 sacks, 7.0 tackles for loss, and 13 quarterback hits.
The Bears have a well-documented need along their defensive line, and they were relatively quiet in their additions to the group, with the only ones of note being Neville Gallimore, Kentavius Street, and sixth-round draft pick Jordan van den Berg. None of the three project as starters for Chicago's defense come Week 1.
Though Vea doesn't fit the typical mold of a Dennis Allen defensive tackle, the 347-pounder is a tremendous pass rusher for a nose tackle and has been an impact defender for much of his time in the NFL.

The New York Jets are going to start the preseason without their top pilot.
Geno Smith will not play in the team's preseason opener on Aug. 14 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The quarterback is dealing with foot soreness, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. It is just a precaution for the veteran signal-caller, who would play through the injury if it were during the regular season.
Smith was expected to play alongside many of the Jets starters, which would've represented his first game action with the team since his departure after the 2016 season.
Cade Klubnik will start instead as Smith's replacement.

In 2025, the injury bug didn't just bite the Bucs, it fed off them. Nearly every meaningful starter on both sides of the ball was beaten up, and the health of this team would be a big reason why they either bounced back or continued down the standings of the NFC South.
On Wednesday, the bug returned.
During a joint practice with the New York Jets, wide receiver Emeka Egbuka limped off the field with trainers. NFL Network's Mike Garafolo shared he was, "examined on the sideline table for a while. Hard to see exactly what's up from where we are but he's still on the table and hasn't returned."
Later, while speaking to the media, head coach Todd Bowles shared that he did not have an update on Egbuka. He also said he was unclear on what the injury was at that point.
As updates come in, we will provide them on Bucs Wire.

The Detroit Lions cut former first-round pick Terrion Arnold in June following his arrest on felony kidnapping and armed robbery charges.
But his legal peril isn't scaring other teams away. The Seattle Seahawks confirmed Monday that they hosted a tryout for Arnold. And the reigning Super Bowl champions aren't the only team kicking the tires on the 23-year-old cornerback.
Arnold has already worked out for the Houston Texans and had a tryout scheduled with the New Orleans Saints following his Sunday workout with the Seahawks, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports. Citing court testimony from Arnold's agent, Texans beat reporter Aaron Wilson reported in July that the New York Jets and Indianapolis Colts had also been in touch with Arnold.
Arnold is a standout young cornerback whom the Lions selected with the 24th pick of the 2024 NFL Draft. His talent and age add up to tremendous value in the NFL. He also faces eight felony charges that could carry a maximum of life in prison if he's convicted.
The heat around Arnold became too high for the team that drafted him. But in the cutthroat world of NFL competition, his talent is proving too much for opposing teams to rule out giving him a look.

Teddy Bridgewater retired and left the Detroit Lions with a QB2-sized hole that a former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback has now likely filled.
According to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, ex-Steelers quarterback Joshua Dobbs has joined the Lions on a one-year deal, which will mark his second stint in Detroit after he spent time on the team's practice squad in 2022.
Dobbs, who was drafted by the Steelers in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL Draft, played in Pittsburgh from 2017 to 2019 and again from 2020 to 2021. He also played for the Jacksonville Jaguars (2019), Cleveland Browns (2022), Tennessee ***** ans (2022), Arizona Cardinals (2023), Minnesota Vikings (2023), San Francisco 49ers (2024), and New England Patriots (2025).
A literal rocket scientist with a major in aerospace engineering, Dobbs is often regarded as one of the smartest quarterbacks in the league and will no doubt look to bring an edge to Detroit's QB room.
