The Arizona Cardinals have traded Marvin Harrison Jr., the 4th overall pick in 2024, to the Houston Texans. Harrison is now part of an exclusive group of top-5 draft picks traded before their fourth season, a trend that has historically not fared well. The article reviews other similar cases, including Zach Wilson, Trey Lance, Jeff Okudah, and Sam Darnold, examining their performance before and after their respective trades
None of the four teams in the NFC East won a game in Week 5 despite the fact that two of them played against each other. Following the Dallas Cowboys ' embarrassing loss on "Thursday Night Football" and the Philadelphia Eagles ' last-second collapse in London, the rival New York Giants and Washington Commanders played to a 27-27 tie. If any of those teams came away from the week feeling good about themselves, it was the Giants, who escaped defeat in that draw. But they tossed away a chance to win that game, too. On the other side of the country, there is a clear top dog in the NFC West. The San Francisco 49ers might be the best team in football. Their 5-0 start and the statement win over the Seattle Seahawks are impossible to ignore. And back on the topic of this week's international game, the Jacksonville Jaguars stunned the Eagles with a walk-off field goal. It was fitting that they put the game away on special teams, considering the third phase was, for multiple reasons, the story of the day in England. That narrow victory improved them to 4-1 and made them one of the biggest winners in the NFL on Sunday . Here are the other major winners and losers from Week 5. After both teams went scoreless on their first possession of overtime, all Cam Skattebo needed to do to help the Giants defeat the Commanders was hang onto the football. He and the New York offense were on the plus side of the field in a next-team-scores situation when he coughed it up and dashed the Giants' chances of stealing one in the nation's capital. Then the game's execution got even worse. Washington threw away the gift it received by squandering a game-winning opportunity of its own. The contest ended in an unbelievable 27-all tie . The Commanders were in field goal range with under a minute to play and did not have any timeouts remaining. Jayden Daniels took his time orchestrating what proved to be the final play of the contest and left everyone baffled by what happened after the snap. With his receivers covered, Daniels scrambled around the pocket and went down to the ground, and he appeared unaware of the situation as he sat on the turf with no sense of urgency as the clock ticked toward triple zeroes. By the time Daniels made it back to the line of scrimmage, it was too late to spike the ball. The Commanders can't get the play off in time and this game ends in a tie pic.twitter.com/WmPp6q5hU0 Washington coach Dan Quinn chucked his headset in frustration. Giants players celebrated as if they won the game. Nobody quite believed what they had just witnessed. It was the second time between the Giants and Commanders in their last nine meetings following a draw in 2022, and it was one that should have never ended with a level score. The NFC West runs through San Francisco. The 49ers have already played every other team in the best division in football and defeated each of them. Sunday's 32-29 win over the Seahawks not only kept their perfect start to the season alive but also gave them a full two-game lead over the rest of the division. At this point in the campaign, that is an impressive feat, given the presence of both the reigning Super Bowl champions and the preseason favorites. Note: Rams to play on "Monday Night Football" The 49ers are one of just three remaining undefeated teams, and one of them (the Kansas City Chiefs ) has only played four games. San Francisco holds two of the best wins of the season with a blowout of the Rams and a road win at the Seahawks. Brock Purdy is a strong early contender for the MVP award. Mike Evans , with his 113-yard effort in Seattle, just continues to do Mike Evans things. Everything about their resume suggests the 49ers are real players in the Super Bowl race. If the Jaguars had lost on Sunday, special teams would have been a major reason why. A missed extra point on a fourth-quarter touchdown opened the door for the Eagles to take a one-point lead with a mere eight seconds to play, but that was just enou [... truncated ...]
Chargers roster moves ahead of Broncos game
The Chargers announced a flurry of roster moves ahead of Sunday’s game against the Broncos, including quarterback Trey Lance’s move to injured reserve. Lance had already been ruled out for this week with a groin injury and he will miss at least four games as a result of Saturday’s move. DJ Uiagalelei will be Justin Herbert’s backup. The Chargers also placed offensive lineman Trevor Penning on injured reserve. They put left tackle Rashawn Slate on the list Friday, which left them with three open spots on the active roster. Fullback Scott Matlock and offensive lineman Branson Taylor will fill two of them after being activated from injured reserve. Wide receiver Theo Wease was signed off of the practice squad to fill the remaining slot. The Chargers elevated offensive lineman Daniel Brunskill and cornerback Isas Waxter from the practice squad to round out the day’s moves. Both players will revert back after the game against Denver
The Chargers placed Lance (groin) on injured reserve Saturday. Lance has been on the Chargers' injury report since late September due to a groin issue. He suited up for each of the Chargers' last two games, but it appears his injury has regressed enough for him to warrant a stint on injured reserve. As such, Lance will be sidelined for at least four games, and the next time he can play is Week 10 against the Ravens on Sunday, Nov. 16. DJ Uiagalelei will be the Chargers' backup to Justin Herbert while Lance is sidelined
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Trey Lance (groin) has been placed on injured reserve, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. Lance had already been listed as doubtful to play in Week 5. His placement on IR not only rules him out for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos, but it will also keep him sidelined through Week 9 at the earliest. The 26-year-old quarterback had yet to play a snap this year, and he finished last season with just 57 pass attempts, 17 rushing attempts, and four games played. His absence clears the way for DJ Uiagalelei, who had been a healthy scratch through the first four games, to suit up as Los Angeles' backup quarterback behind Justin Herbert
Adds: Trey Lance
Several Chargers players ruled out or questionable for Sunday's game
Trey Lance is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Broncos
The Chargers will not have safety Derwin James today against the Seahawks. James is inactive with his hamstring injury after being listed as questionable. The other four players the Chargers listed as questionable are dressed. Backup quarterback Trey Lance (groin), wide receiver Ladd McConkey (foot), safety Elijah Molden (hamstring) and cornerback Donte Jackson (concussion) are active. The team’s other inactives are quarterback Dj Uiagalelei, offensive lineman Alex Harkey, offensive lineman Kayode Awosika (fibula), tight end Charlie Kolar (forearm), wide receiver Brenen Thompson (quadriceps) and defensive tackle Dalvin Tomlinson (hamstring). Uiagalelei will serve as the emergency third quarterback. The Seahawks will not have safety Ty Okada for a fourth consecutive game due to a hamstring injury. The team listed him as questionable. Rodney Thomas II will start for Okada again. Cornerback Avery Smith, linebacker Chazz Surratt (calf), wide receiver Montorie Foster Jr., tight end Nick Kallerup, nose tackle Brandon Pili and quarterback Jalen Milroe are the other inactives. Milroe will serve as the emergency third quarterback
Lance (groin) is active for Sunday's game against Seattle. Lance was listed as questionable but will shed the tag and suit up in Week 4. With Lance cleared to play, DJ Uiagalelei is inactive, though he will serve as the team's emergency signal-caller if necessary
Adds: Trey Lance
Chargers list several players as questionable, including Derwin James, Ladd McConkey, and Trey Lance
Trey Lance is questionable for Sunday's game due to a groin issue
Lance (groin) was limited at the Chargers' practice Thursday. Lance has been limited at each of the team's first two sessions of the week as he continues to nurse a groin issue. The quarterback was active for the team's loss to Buffalo in Week 3, and he'll likely be good to go Sunday versus the Seahawks
Bills wide receiver DJ Moore hurt his shoulder in a Week 2 win over the Lions, but he had more than a week to recover from the injury and that was enough time for him to get cleared for action. Moore is active for the Bills as they try to move to 3-0 on the season at home against the 0-2 Chargers. The Bills will also get defensive tackle Ed Oliver back in the lineup. Oliver missed the Lions game after injuring his hip in pregame warmups and was listed as questionable along with Moore and wide receiver Keon Coleman. Coleman is also active for Buffalo while backup quarterback Trey Lance is active for the Chargers. DJ Uiagalelei was summoned from the practice squad as insurance after Lance was listed as questionable, but there will be no change behind Justin Herbert.
