According to multiple reports, the move underscores ongoing frustrations with offensive performance and internal alignment. This marks the second major offensive staff change for the Raiders this season and raises questions about the team&#8217;s direction moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>After capturing a Super Bowl title, Philadelphia Eagles head coach <strong>Nick Sirianni<\/strong> made headlines in a video asking offensive coordinator <strong>Kellen Moore<\/strong> to &#8220;run this back&#8221;\u2014a clear sign the team is interested in retaining Moore for another title run. The continuity in coaching returns could signal stability for quarterback <strong>Jalen Hurts<\/strong> and the NFC powerhouse heading into 2026.<\/p>\n<h2>Quarterback Developments<\/h2>\n<p>The Cleveland Browns are reportedly open to giving rookie quarterback <strong>Shedeur Sanders<\/strong> an extended look as QB1, as per ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter. The development comes amid persistent flux at the Browns\u2019 quarterback position, and the team may be evaluating Sanders for the rest of the season as a long-term option under center.<\/p>\n<h2>Injuries<\/h2>\n<p>The Pittsburgh Steelers have placed starting left tackle <strong>Broderick Jones<\/strong> on injured reserve following a neck injury sustained last week against the Bears. The 2023 first-round pick will miss at least four games, significantly impacting protection for the Steelers\u2019 young quarterbacks down the stretch.<\/p>\n<p>New Orleans Saints wide receiver <strong>Chris Olave<\/strong>, who has been dealing with a back injury, is expected to play Sunday against the Dolphins despite being officially listed as questionable. His availability provides a pivotal offensive boost for the Saints in a critical AFC-NFC contest.<\/p>\n<p>Buffalo Bills tight end <strong>Dalton Kincaid<\/strong> is questionable for Sunday\u2019s game against the Steelers due to a hamstring injury. In response, the team has elevated <strong>Keleki Latu<\/strong> to the active roster to provide depth at tight end.<\/p>\n<h2>Return From Injury<\/h2>\n<p>Miami Dolphins tight end <strong>Darren Waller<\/strong> is expected to be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday\u2019s matchup with New Orleans. His return gives quarterback <strong>Tua Tagovailoa<\/strong> a much-needed playmaker as the Dolphins push for the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver <strong>Jalen McMillan<\/strong> is set to have his practice window opened as he moves closer to returning from injury. The rookie could provide a spark to an offense that has struggled with consistency in recent weeks.<\/p>\n<p>The Los Angeles Rams have officially activated starting cornerback <strong>Ahkello Witherspoon<\/strong> from injured reserve. He is expected to play against the Panthers, bolstering a secondary that has faced depth issues in recent weeks.<\/p>\n<h2>Discipline<\/h2>\n<p>San Francisco 49ers wide receiver <strong>Jauan Jennings<\/strong> has been fined by the NFL for his role in a scuffle with Las Vegas Raiders defensive back <strong>Tre\u2019von Moehrig<\/strong>. The league has not disclosed the specific amount, but the fine is consistent with penalties for unsportsmanlike conduct.<\/p>\n<h2>Roster Moves<\/h2>\n<p>The Pittsburgh Steelers have elevated cornerback <strong>Asante Samuel Jr.<\/strong> to the active roster for their Sunday game against the Buffalo Bills. The elevation comes amid mounting injuries in the secondary and is expected to provide immediate depth.<\/p>\n<h2>Player Highlights<\/h2>\n<p>Dallas Cowboys wide receiver <strong>CeeDee Lamb<\/strong> voiced confidence in his elite form, stating \u201cno one can guard me\u201d after a string of dominant performances. Lamb and quarterback <strong>Dak Prescott<\/strong> have developed into one of the league\u2019s top passing connections, boosting Dallas\u2019 playoff aspirations down the stretch.<\/p>\n<h2>League News<\/h2>\n<p>The Pro Football Hall of Fame apologized after erroneously announcing the death of legendary cornerback <strong>Lem Barney<\/strong>. Lions beat reporter <strong>Dave Birkett<\/strong> confirmed that Barney is alive and in good condition, citing direct communication with Barney&#8217;s family. The incident has raised questions about communication protocols among legacy institutions and media outlets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coaching News The Las Vegas Raiders have fired offensive coordinator Chip Kelly, signaling deeper issues within the team\u2019s organizational cohesion under head coach Pete Carroll.
