Packers Coach Makes Head-Scratching OL Comments Before Falcons Game

Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich. Getty The Green Bay Packers have decisions to make about their starting offensive line before kicking off Thursday Night Football against the Atlanta Falcons, but their logic isn’t any easier to follow after their offensive coordinator’s latest comments. The Packers have been forced to adapt at left guard over the first two weeks of the season with veteran starter Aaron Banks on the mend with knee and toe injuries, but the real-scratcher has been them starting Donovan Jennings over rookie Jager Burton. Jennings took snaps with the first-team offense toward the end of training camp, but Burton — a 2026 fifth-round pick — had rotated in with the starters throughout the summer, raising questions when Jennings started over him in the season opener. Those questions only grew louder when Jennings struggled in the opener and finally reached fever pitch in Week 2 when Jennings went out with an injury and Burton replaced him at left guard,...

(Photo by Jeff Antenore/MediaNews Group/Orange County Register via Getty Images) | MediaNews Group via Getty Images The Las Vegas Raiders pulled off a road win, their first at SoFi Stadium. The team was touchdown underdogs, went into Los Angeles, and beat the Chargers 26-14. After Nakobe Dean caused a fumble, the Raiders were in position to close out the football game. After two run plays in a row, Klint Kubiak faced a third-and-five. He went for the gut and threw a game-sealing touchdown pass to Cody White from 11 yards out. The setup for this play came in Week 1 vs. the Miami Dolphins. On a third-and-three, the Raiders got a seven-yard run from Ashton Jeanty out of the same look. Michael Mayer goes in motion, and after the snap, Ian Thomas pulls to lead-block for Jeanty. Fast forward to Sunday against the Chargers, and the Raiders are back in the red zone, and it’s third down once again. They line up in the same formation that they did against the Dolphins. This time, though, Maye...

(Photo by Ross Harried/NurPhoto via Getty Images) | NurPhoto via Getty Images The Wisconsin Badgers are coming off a 54-10 blowout win over the Eastern Michigan Eagles, placing them at 2-1 heading into Big Ten play. It was a dominant performance from the Badgers on all fronts, as they executed well offensively after a slow start, accumulating nearly 500 yards, as Colton Joseph had four touchdowns. Defensively, they bottled up after an early touchdown, allowing just three points the rest of the way while forcing three turnovers. Even the special teams unit continued to impress as Wisconsin easily got the win. Now, the Badgers are facing the No. 13 Penn State Nittany Lions in Week 4, marking one of, if not the, biggest challenges of their season. Wisconsin will ...

Bears' offense evaporates, Caleb Williams injured late in loss to Vikings

-
The Chicago Bears' season took a dramatic and dark turn in Week 2. Following a 59-point outing in Week 1, the Bears came crashing down in their Week 2 loss, 9-3 to the Vikings , as QB Caleb Williams suffered a non-contact right hamstring injury in the fourth quarter. Williams, who had struggled most of the day, started to run on a 4th-and-goal play but went down without being touched and later was carted off the field. Tyson Bagent replaced Williams and couldn't convert on second or third down. Cairo Santos' game-tying 23-yard field-goal attempt was then blocked. The Vikings drained more than minutes of clock and tacked on the extra cushion with Will Reichard's third field goal of the game. Last week, the Bears and Vikings combined for 98 points. This week on a rainy, sloppy Soldier Field: four field goals. The Vikings are now 2-0, led by their ferocious defense. Minnesota blitzed Caleb Williams relentlessly early, creating havoc for the Bears' offense. Carson Wentz...

As the Scarlet Knights prepared to kick off their Big Ten season against the 12th-ranked USC Trojans, speculation about who would lead the offense was rampant.

Raiders expected to start rookie at cornerback Week 2 vs Chargers

-
The Raiders will be without starting left cornerback Darien Porter with a foot injury as they head to Los Angeles to face the Chargers this week. The second-year corner suffered a foot injury in the team's season opener against the Dolphins and after missing all week of practices, head coach Klint Kubiak announced Porter will be ruled OUT. Kubiak brought up the two rookie cornerbacks Jermod McCoy and Hezekiah Masses as being the two options to replace Porter in his starting role. He would not name a starter, saying only that "We'll see" which will get the nod. It was the sixth rounder Masses who came into the game late against the Dolphins when Porter suffered the injury. McCoy was selected at the top of the fourth round, but has been eased along due to having not played in a game since late in the 2024 season. His long term prospects are high, but the Raiders want to make sure he is ready before putting him in. Either way, the Raiders are expected to have a rookie ...
