BREAKING: Ravens Acquiring QB Jacoby Brissett From Cardinals
The Baltimore Ravens are set to trade for quarterback Jacoby Brissett from the Arizona Cardinals, according to Adam Schefter. The deal should finalize this weekend, but Brissett will miss Baltimore’s Week 9 Thursday night game against Jacksonville. With Lamar Jackson on IR and Tyler Huntley out for the season, the Ravens face a quarterback crisis. Brissett, 33, has started eight games in 2026, posting a 63.3% completion rate, 1,719 yards, 10 TDs and seven INTs. He previously played for the Patriots, Colts, Dolphins, Browns, Commanders and Cardinals.
Trade Deadline Latest: Vita Vea, Buccaneers, Falcons, Panthers
The trade deadline buzz centers on Tampa Bay DT Vita Vea, who the Giants are eyeing but the Buccaneers aren’t likely to move, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler and Cameron Wolfe. Buccaneers OC Zac Robinson, once on thin ice after a 1‑5 start, regains footing as the team pivots to a run‑heavy attack and strings together two wins. OLB YaYa Diaby’s trade prospects fade following a recent MCL injury. In Atlanta, GM Ian Cunningham laments a shallow draft haul, and ESPN’s Marc Raimondi doubts any deadline activity, though S Jessie Bates could draw interest. Meanwhile, the Carolina Panthers seek budget‑friendly defensive upgrades, with TE Ja’Tavion Sanders flagged as a possible late‑round trade piece.
Trade Deadline Latest: Daniel Jones, Tony Pollard, Colts Fire Sale, Jaguars Targets, Titans
The trade deadline chatter centers on the Colts, Jaguars and Titans. ESPN’s Adam Schefter flags QB Daniel Jones as a surprise candidate, while offers linger for RB Jonathan Taylor and WR Josh Downs; DT Grover Stewart, TE Mo Alie‑Cox and WR Keenan Allen also float on the market. The Jaguars are aggressively courting interior D‑line help, eyeing Eagles DT Moro Ojomo and Cardinals S Budda Baker, and field interest in WR Brian Thomas Jr. from the Chiefs. Titans insider Terry McCormick says deals are “slim,” though RB Tony Pollard could fetch a mid‑round pick, with S Amani Hooker, WR Calvin Ridley and DE Jacob Martin also listed as trade bait. The deadline looms Tuesday.
Eagles Starting QB Joe Milton For Week 9
The Eagles will start rookie QB Joe Milton III in Week 9 against the New York Giants, according to NFL Trade Rumors' Mike Garafolo. Milton, a 2024 sixth‑round pick who spent the past season on the Cowboys’ practice squad, replaces struggling Tanner McKee (0‑3 as a starter). Milton is entering the third year of a four‑year, $4.2 million rookie deal with $183k guaranteed. In his six‑year college and NFL career he’s completed 400 of 649 passes (61.6%) for 5,353 yards, 37 TDs, 11 INTs, and added 12 rushing touchdowns.
Trade Deadline Latest: Bears, Lions, Packers, Vikings
Ahead of the trade deadline, the Bears are scouting cornerback options, while the Lions target corners and possibly a linebacker after injuries to Jack Campbell and Jimmy Rolder. The Packers join the hunt for Colts RB Jonathan Taylor, according to ESPN’s Rob Demovsky. Minnesota, sitting 6‑1, weighs roster upgrades for a playoff push; coach Kevin O’Connell expresses confidence in the current squad but notes the Vikings are exploring trades for a running back, interior O‑line or blocking tight end, mindful of salary‑cap constraints.
Seahawks QB Sam Darnold Ruled Out Week 9, Drew Lock To Start
Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald confirms that starting quarterback Sam Darnold, who suffered a quad injury in Monday’s game, will miss Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals. The 29‑year‑old will be listed as week‑to‑week but not placed on IR, with veteran Drew Lock slated to start Sunday. Darnold, a former 2018 first‑round pick, has thrown for 1,478 yards, 10 TDs and nine interceptions this season across seven games. The move follows his three‑year, $100 million deal with Seattle after stints with the Jets, Panthers, 49ers and Vikings.
Trade Deadline Latest: Lamar Jackson, Ravens QB Options, Browns, Steelers
The trade deadline buzz centers on Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson, whose thumb injury and lack of a recent extension have sparked speculation about his future. ESPN analysts note his hefty 2027 cap hit and no‑trade clause, suggesting a possible trade if a new deal stalls, with the Cardinals’ benched Jacoby Brissett and even the Colts’ Daniel Jones emerging as potential targets. Cleveland, despite an 11‑pick haul and a 5‑3 record, is likely to focus on depth at tight end or the defensive line rather than a marquee move. Pittsburgh is actively scouting receiver upgrades to support Aaron Rodgers in his final season. Key player names include Jackson, Jacoby Brissett, Daniel Jones, Derrick Henry and Rashod Bateman.
Trade Deadline Latest: Brandon Aiyuk, Jonathan Taylor, Moro Ojomo, Commanders, Cowboys, Eagles, Giants
As the NFL trade deadline looms, the Commanders eye receiver help but likely pass on Brandon Aiyuk after his social‑media drama, while CB Mike Sainristil sparks modest interest. The Cowboys, still in the NFC East race, seem set to keep WR George Pickens and may only move depth pieces like TE Luke Schoonmaker. The Eagles plan to retain DT Moro Ojoku despite Jaguars interest and could flip CB Riq Woolen, WR Marquise Brown or TE Dallas Goedert. The Giants have offered the Colts a first‑rounder for RB Jonathan Taylor but may settle for a defensive tackle, eyeing DT Grover Stewart over a likely‑unmovable Vita Vea. All moves hinge on value before the deadline.
Trade Deadline Latest: Breece Hall, Christian Barmore, Bills, Dolphins, Jets, Patriots
The latest trade‑deadline chatter centers on several NFL teams. The Bills could trade for Cardinals safety Budda Baker if Arizona agrees. The Dolphins, despite a poor record, aren’t eager sellers but would consider strong offers for DT Zach Sieler and OT Austin Jackson. Jets running back Breece Hall emerges as a surprise candidate, though insiders say New York likely retains him to bolster a deeper backfield and give HC Aaron Glenn a chance. OLB Will McDonald IV is also off the market. Meanwhile, the Patriots adopt an opportunistic stance, eyeing cheap depth pieces at DT or OLB and may flip high‑salary players like DT Christian Barmore for future assets.
Philip Rivers Interviewing For NC State HC Job
Former NFL quarterback Philip Rivers is set to interview on Wednesday for the North Carolina State head‑coaching vacancy. The 44‑year‑old, a 2004 first‑round pick who spent 16 seasons with the Chargers and later played briefly for the Colts, is the latest high‑profile candidate after Russell Wilson’s interview on Tuesday. Rivers, who retired after the 2020 season, returned to the NFL for three games in 2025 before moving into coaching, most recently at the high‑school level. His extensive resume includes 247 games, 63,440 yards and eight Pro Bowl selections.
Lions LB Jack Campbell Releases Statement, Says He’s Regaining Movement
Lions linebacker Jack Campbell, the former No. 18 overall pick from the 2023 draft, issues a statement after being carted off with a head‑and‑neck injury in Week 8 against the Vikings. He says he has fully regained lower‑body movement and is making progress with his upper body. Campbell, 26, is entering the final year of his four‑year, $81 million deal (with $51.5 million guaranteed) after the Lions declined his fifth‑year option. This season he posted 54 tackles and a fumble recovery in six games.
Bears LT Braxton Jones Had Knee Surgery, Out Rest Of Season
Bears left tackle Braxton Jones undergoes right‑knee surgery and is ruled out for the remainder of the 2026 season, according to source Brad Biggs. The 27‑year‑old, a 2022 fifth‑round pick, had already been placed on injured reserve in early November. After earning the starting role on a one‑year contract signed in March, Jones started three games this season before the injury ended his campaign. He now enters free agency as an unrestricted free agent.
Commanders Announce Two Roster Moves
The Washington Commanders promote defensive tackle Ricky Barber from the practice squad to the active roster and add DT Daniel Ekuale to the practice squad. Barber, a 25‑year‑old UCF undrafted free agent signed in 2025, appeared in two games last season with five tackles, a tackle for loss and a sack. Ekuale joins the squad as part of the same roster shuffle announced on November 4, 2026.
Jets WR Garrett Wilson Day-To-Day With Concussion
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn confirms wide receiver Garrett Wilson is in the league’s concussion protocol and listed as day‑to‑day before Week 9 against the Chiefs. Wilson, the team’s top target with 43 catches for 527 yards and three TDs in eight games this season, could be a major loss for New York’s offense if he misses Sunday. The 26‑year‑old, a former first‑team All‑American from Ohio State, was the No. 10 overall pick in 2022 and recently secured a four‑year, $130 million extension. Updates will follow as his status clears.
Texans Announce Four Practice Squad Moves
The Houston Texans reshape their practice squad, adding defensive tackle Jaden Crumedy— a 2024 sixth‑round pick from Mississippi State who posted six tackles and half a sack in six games this season— and wide receiver Daniel Sobkowicz. They released DT Kyonte Hamilton and TE Zaire Mitchell‑Paden. The updated squad now lists 20 players, including veterans like LB Chad Muma and DB Bryce Hall. Crumedy joins after stints on the Panthers’ and Packers’ practice squads, marking his second year in the league.
Saints Designate WR Jordyn Tyson To Return
The New Orleans Saints activate rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson from injured reserve on November 4, 2026, opening a three‑week practice window before he must be added to the active roster. Tyson, the No. 8 overall pick in the 2026 Draft, is returning after a hamstring setback—the fourth in a year that was originally projected to keep him sidelined for two months. The 22‑year‑old boasts a strong college résumé with 158 catches for 2,282 yards and 22 TDs, plus Big 12 newcomer of the year and first‑team honors in 2024‑25. He signed a four‑year, $32.5 million rookie deal with a $20 million signing bonus.
Browns Announced Two Roster Moves
The Browns upgrade their roster on Wednesday, promoting 23‑year‑old tight end Carsen Ryan from the practice squad to the active roster after seven appearances this season. Simultaneously, they add running back Hassan Haskins, filling Ryan’s vacated spot. Ryan, a former UCLA, Utah and BYU player, was a seventh‑round, 248th‑overall pick in the 2026 draft and signed a four‑year, $4.8 million rookie contract. The moves deepen Cleveland’s depth at TE and RB as the season heads into its crucial stretch.
Report: Panthers Far Down The Road On New Contract For Bryce Young?
Pro Football Talk says the Carolina Panthers are deep in negotiations for a new deal with quarterback Bryce Young, potentially exceeding $50 million annually. Young, the 2023 No. 1 overall pick and 2021 Heisman winner, is currently on a fifth‑year option worth $25.904 million for 2027. After a strong start to the 2026 season—58.7% completions for 1,921 yards, 13 TDs, five picks—Carolina appears more confident in extending his rookie contract.
Browns Announce Deshaun Watson Is In Concussion Protocol
The Cleveland Browns placed quarterback Deshaun Watson in concussion protocol after he reported symptoms following a hard hit in Sunday's 3‑17 loss to the Steelers. The league’s independent doctor cleared him, but the protocol sidelines him for the upcoming game against the New Orleans Saints, handing the start to backup Shedeur Sanders. Watson, the 2017 first‑round pick now under a five‑year, $230 million fully guaranteed deal, has thrown for 1,806 yards, seven TDs and three INTs this season. His absence adds pressure on the Browns as they chase a playoff push.
Commanders DT Javon Kinlaw Underwent MCL Surgery
Commanders defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw undergoes MCL surgery and is ruled out for the rest of the 2026 season. The 29‑year‑old, a former 2020 first‑round pick (No. 14) by the 49ers, has logged six games this year with 13 tackles, two for loss, one sack and two pass deflections. After San Francisco declined his 2024 option, Kinlaw signed a one‑year, $7.2 million deal with the Jets before landing a three‑year, $45 million contract with Washington for 2025. The injury sidelines a key interior lineman for Washington’s defensive line.
Patriots Designating WR Mack Hollins To Return
Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins returns to practice on November 4, ending his stint on injured reserve and opening a three‑week window before the team must add him to the active roster. At 33, Hollins—drafted by the Eagles in 2017—has logged four games this season with 15 catches for 209 yards. He signed a two‑year, $8.4 million deal with New England before the 2025 season after brief one‑year contracts with Miami, the Raiders, Falcons and Bills. The Patriots may activate him as early as Sunday.
Brandon Aiyuk Files For Reinstatement, Plans To Report To Team Friday
49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, represented by new agent Drew Rosenhaus, has filed paperwork to be reinstated and will report to the team on Friday. Aiyuk, 28, is healthy and ready to play after being on the left‑squad list all offseason. The team had kept him hoping for a trade, but now faces his $120 million extension with $76 million guaranteed. In 2024 he logged seven games, 23 catches for 351 yards and no touchdowns. The reinstatement is largely procedural, but it signals his return to the roster.
Ravens QB Tyler Huntley Done For 2026
Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley suffers a season‑ending turf toe injury, joining Lamar Jackson as the team’s second QB loss within hours. The 28‑year‑old, who has bounced between practice squads and brief stints with the Browns, Dolphins and Browns again, was forced out of the loss to Buffalo and will miss the rest of 2026. Undrafted out of Utah, Huntley posted a 69.1% completion rate for 727 yards, four TDs and one INT in five games this year. The Ravens will start UDFA Joe Fagnano against Jacksonville and have added Austin Reed and Kedon Slovis, with more roster moves likely.
NFL Power Rankings GPA: Week 9
NFL Trade Rumors' Week 9 power rankings, compiled from eight elite sources, place the Buffalo Bills atop at 6‑1 after a 36‑10 win over the Ravens. The San Francisco 49ers sit second (6‑1) following a bye, while the Chicago Bears surge to third (6‑2) after a 34‑17 victory over Seattle, bolstered by All‑Pro Jeffery Simmons. The Jacksonville Jaguars (5‑2) and Denver Broncos (6‑2) round out the top five, each riding dominant wins. Notably, the Kansas City Chiefs slip to sixth after a 28‑24 loss to Denver, and the Minnesota Vikings fall to seventh despite a 6‑1 record, highlighting offensive woes. The rankings reflect recent performances and potential trade‑deadline moves.
Lions Signing LB Owen Pappoe To Practice Squad
The Detroit Lions are set to add former Cardinals linebacker Owen Pappoe (26) to their practice squad, pending a physical, according to Matt Zenitz. Pappoe, a 2023 fifth‑round pick from Auburn, spent 2025 playing all 17 games for Arizona with 27 tackles and two pass defenses. After being cut by the Cardinals, he briefly joined the Titans’ practice squad before being released in early October. The move could bolster Detroit’s depth on defense.
