The Philadelphia Eagles signed free-agent tight end Nick Muse and offensive lineman Cameron Erving to their practice squad on Wednesday and released defensive end KJ Henry from the practice squad in a corresponding move. Muse, a former seventh-round pick by the Minnesota Vikings in 2022, appeared in four regular-season games in Minnesota but spent most of his time on special teams and was not targeted on offense. In his three years with the Vikings, he appeared in 16 games (zero starts) and caught his only target for a pickup of 22 yards. The 26-year-old will provide tight end depth for the Eagles for the rest of the postseason. Erving, 32, did not appear in the NFL at all in 2024 and last played three games with the New Orleans Saints in 2023. He's a nine-year NFL veteran who was originally a first-round selection (19th overall) by the Cleveland Browns in 2015 out of Florida State.

The Jacksonville Jaguars fired general manager Trent Baalke on Wednesday, according to NFL insider Ari Meirov. This move comes just hours after Buccaneers offensive coordinator Liam Coen reached a new deal to remain in Tampa Bay. Coen was thought to be the lead head-coaching candidate in Jacksonville. Baalke served as Jacksonville's GM from 2021 to 2024 and was responsible for hiring Urban Meyer and Doug Pederson, who have both been let go. Many believed Baalke would be fired immediately following the 2024 campaign, but Jaguars owner Shahid Khan must have been disappointed with the way the team's head-coaching search was headed under Baakle's direction and waited until now to make the move.

Buffalo Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins (illness) missed Wednesday's practice with an illness, according to the team's X account. The four-time Pro Bowler is one of the most important pieces of the Buffalo offense, so missing an early-week practice session is not ideal. However, the 30-year-old has plenty of time to recover and be ready for the AFC Championship Game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. It would be a shocker if he did not play, but his status should be monitored throughout the rest of the week. Assuming he's ready to go, he'll be tasked with protecting Josh Allen's blindside against a fierce Kansas City front-seven.

The Las Vegas Raiders are hiring Tampa Bay Buccaneers assistant general manager John Spytek to be the next general manager of the organization. The 44-year-old was in Tampa Bay's front office when Raiders minority owner Tom Brady played there, so there is a preexisting relationship that likely helped this hire come to fruition. Spytek entered the NFL in 2004 as an operations intern for the Detroit Lions and has held roles as a college scouting assistant, director of college scouting, director of player personnel, and more during his time with several pro organizations. Skytek will now assist in hiring the team's next head coach and finding a solution at the quarterback position.

The Jacksonville Jaguars head-coaching search is still ongoing after rumored lead candidate Liam Coen signed a contract extension to remain the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator, and Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady is "a name to watch," according to NFL insider Jeremy Fowler. Brady began to get recognition after he was the passing-game coordinator for the 2019 LSU team that won a national championship with quarterback Joe Burrow and wideouts Justin Jefferson and Ja'Marr Chase. Brady served as the Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator in 2020 and 2021 before joining Buffalo's staff. He took over the play-calling duties in the Josh Allen-led offense in the middle of the 2023 campaign, and the Bills became the first team in NFL history to score at least 30 rushing and 30 passing touchdowns in 2024. The Jaguars are surely interested in bringing someone in who can take quarterback Trevor Lawrence to the next level, and they might view Brady as a potential fit in Duval County.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Britain Covey (neck) is having his practice window opened on Wednesday ahead of the NFC Championship Game against the Washington Commanders. The 27-year-old was placed on Injured Reserve for the second time this season after suffering a neck injury in Week 13 against the Baltimore Ravens. Covey's injuries have limited him to just five games this season. In those five games, he's hauled in seven receptions for 34 yards and returned five punts for 46 yards. It's unclear if the team is looking to activate him ahead of Sunday's game, but he could potentially return for the Super Bowl if Philadelphia advances.

The New York Jets are hiring Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn to be the organization's next head coach, according to NFL insider Adam Schefter. The 52-year-old has been rumored to be the lead candidate for much of the offseason, and he lands with New York less than a week after the Lions were knocked out of the playoffs in the NFC Divisional Round. Glenn led the No. 7 scoring defense and No. 5 rushing defense in 2024 despite Detroit dealing with a significant number of injuries on the defensive side of the ball. Glenn will be tasked with setting New York on the right path and breaking a 14-year postseason drought, which is the longest active streak in the NFL. Glenn will have plenty of defensive talent to work with right away, but the team will need to address the offense and the future of four-time MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker is widely regarded as one of the best place-kickers in NFL history, but he is coming off the worst season of his career in 2024. The eight-time All-Pro connected on a career-low 73.3% of his field goal tries and missed two extra points for the first time since 2019. Tucker rebounded late in the season and made all five of his attempts in the final five games of the campaign. The team has a potential out in his contract this offseason, but Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said he expects Tucker to be kicking for the organization again in 2025. That said, the 35-year-old's 2024 season could be a sign of regression to come, and if he struggles to begin the 2025 season, things could change. For now, he remains in place and will be on the fantasy football radar on a team with an elite offense and plenty of scoring opportunities.

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said on Wednesday that wide receiver Mecole Hardman (knee) will remain on Injured Reserve, which means he won't play again this season, even if the Chiefs beat the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship this Sunday to advance to a third straight Super Bowl appearance. The Chiefs opened Hardman's 21-day practice window to return from IR before the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Denver Broncos, but the team never felt comfortable putting him out there on game day. The 26-year-old will now begin his offseason early and make sure that his knee is fully ready for the start of the 2025 regular season this fall. Hardman was mostly valuable to the Chiefs this year before his knee injury as a return man on special teams, as he caught only 12 of 14 targets for 90 yards and no touchdowns in 12 games played in 2024.

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni told reporters that quarterback Jalen Hurts (knee) will take part in Wednesday's walkthrough practice, as will rookie cornerback Quinyon Mitchell (shoulder). Hurts injured his left knee in the second half of the Divisional Round win over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday and was examined in the medical tent before eventually returning to the field. Although Hurts finished out the game under center, his mobility was compromised and he appeared to be walking with a significant limp after the contest. The Eagles were non-committal on Hurts' status for the NFC Championship against the Washington Commanders earlier this week, but he did say he fully expects to be out there this Sunday. The 26-year-old had 70 rushing yards and a touchdown on the ground against the Rams, but fantasy managers might want to temper expectations for Hurts' rushing contributions this weekend if he's active.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that safety Taylor Rapp (hip) will not practice on Wednesday and listed him as day-to-day with a hip injury. Meanwhile, cornerback Christian Benford (concussion) will be limited as he works his way through the league's concussion protocol, and linebacker Matt Milano (hamstring) will also be limited. Rapp was limited to 33 percent of the team's defensive snaps last Sunday in the Divisional Round win over the Baltimore Ravens and is now in danger of missing the AFC Championship this Sunday in Kansas City against the Chiefs. However, the 27-year-old could have a chance at suiting up if he's able to return to practice on Thursday or Friday. Not having Rapp in the secondary would be a notable downgrade for Buffalo's secondary. Cole Bishop would be the likely replacement if Rapp is ruled out.

With Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Liam Coen now out of the running, many around the NFL view former New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh as the potential favorite to become the next head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars, sources told FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. Saleh is scheduled to fly to Jacksonville on Thursday for a Friday meeting with Jaguars owner Shad Khan, general manager Trent Baalke and others. While Saleh could have the leg up for the job, Jacksonville could also expand their head-coaching search. The other name that could still be in the running for the head-coach job is Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady, but the Jaguars can't interview him again until the Bills season is over. Jacksonville will interview Las Vegas Raiders defensive coordinator Patrick Graham for a second time on Thursday.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports on Wednesday that Detroit Lions defensive line coach Terrell Williams will become the New England Patriots' new defensive coordinator, according to sources. Williams worked with Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel with the Tennessee Titans from 2018-23, and Vrabel thought so highly of Williams that he had him serve as the Titans' head coach during the 2023 preseason opener. The move to hire Williams comes a day after Josh McDaniels was hired to return to New England to run the team's offense under Vrabel. Williams will have plenty of work to do in his new location in Boston after the Patriots' entire defense struggled in 2024. His biggest building block on that side of the ball is cornerback Christian Gonzalez. Look for the Patriots to try and add talent to the defensive side of the ball this offseason through the draft and free agency.

Baltimore Ravens executive vice president and general manager Eric DeCosta said on Wednesday that the team will be looking at a possible contract extension for running back Derrick Henry this offseason. Despite being on the wrong side of 30 (31), King Henry proved that he still has plenty left in the tank, rushing for 1,921 yards and a league-high 16 rushing touchdowns on 325 rushing attempts in 17 regular-season starts in his first year in Baltimore. He also added 19 receptions for 193 yards and two more TDs while averaging a career-high 5.9 yards per carry. Henry finished the regular season as the RB3 in half-PPR scoring. He'll be heading into the last year of the two-year, $16 million deal he signed last offseason, but the Ravens want him around longer. Showing no signs of slowing down and being in one of the best offenses in football, Henry should be a high-end RB1 again this fall.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers reached a contract extension with offensive coordinator Liam Coen on Wednesday that will put him amongst the highest-paid coordinators in the NFL, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The move comes after it was reported on Tuesday that the Jacksonville Jaguars' head-coaching job was essentially Coen's to lose. It's a huge win for Tampa's offense in 2025 and beyond, especially for quarterback Baker Mayfield, who had been making a huge push for the team to retain Coen after he had a career year in 2024. Mayfield had career-highs in passing yards (4,500), touchdown passes (41) and completion percentage (71.4%) in his first year working with the 39-year-old Coen. If Coen had departed for Jacksonville, the Bucs would have been searching for a new offensive coordinator for the second straight offseason after Dave Canales became the Panthers head coach last offseason.

Baltimore Ravens executive vice president and general manager Eric DeCosta said on Wednesday that he expects Justin Tucker to be a great kicker for the team moving forward into the 2025 season. Tucker had the worst season of his career in 2024, but DeCosta mentioned that he finished the year strong. The 35-year-old finished the year going 22-for-30 on his field-goal attempts and 60-for-62 on his extra points in 17 regular-season games. He made just 73.3% of his field goals, with his previous low in conversion rate coming in at 82%. The seven-time Pro Bowler particularly struggled from deep, where he had been so money before, making just six of his 11 tries from 50-plus yards. While Tucker's leg might not be as strong as it was earlier in his elite career, he can still be a fantasy asset in 2025 in a strong Baltimore offense -- he just shouldn't be the first kicker off the board anymore.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Los Angeles Chargers nine-time Pro Bowl linebacker Khalil Mack will return to play in 2025, according to a source. Mack said after the wild-card playoff loss to the Houston Texans that he needed time to decide on his future, but he has chosen to come back for at least one more season. However, the 33-year-old's contract with the Chargers is up and he will be an unrestricted free agent this March. Now that we know Mack wants to keep playing, the Bolts will probably do everything in their power to re-sign Mack, who had a down year in 2024 after posting a career-high 17 sacks in his second year in L.A. in 2023. The three-time All-Pro and former Defensive Player of the Year finished his third year with the Chargers with only six sacks in 16 regular-season starts. Wherever Mack lands in free agency, he could be more of a situational pass-rusher in 2025.

The Philadelphia Eagles signed free-agent tight end Cameron Latu to a Reserve/Futures deal on Tuesday and released wide receiver Elijah Cooks from their practice squad in a corresponding move. Latu was with the San Francisco 49ers during training camp but was cut before the start of the regular season. The 24-year-old then latched on with the Cleveland Browns and spent time on their practice squad in 2024, although he did not play in any games. He has never appeared in an NFL game and will merely be looking to stick around on Philly's active 53-man roster after training camp this summer. Latu was originally taken by the 49ers in the third round (101st overall) of the 2023 NFL draft out of Alabama.

The Carolina Panthers announced on Tuesday that they signed free-agent tight end James Mitchell and outside linebacker Boogie Basham to Reserve/Futures deals. Mitchell was a former fifth-round selection by the Detroit Lions in 2022 out of Virginia Tech. He was with the Lions on their practice squad in 2024 and will now try to make Carolina's active 53-man roster for the 2025 season. In 30 games over three seasons in the NFL, he has only recorded 13 catches for 141 yards and one touchdown in Detroit. Basham, meanwhile, was a second-round selection by the Buffalo Bills in 2021 out of Wake Forest. He'll reunite with general manager Dan Morgan, who was in Buffalo's front office when he was drafted. In 40 games over his four years in the NFL, Basham has 4.5 sacks. He was traded to the New York Giants in 2023.

The Atlanta Falcons announced on Tuesday that they signed wide receivers David Sills, Phillip Dorsett II, Dylan Drummond, Jesse Matthews and Makai Polk, defensive tackles Junior Aho and LaCale London, offensive lineman Matthew Cindric, running back Elijah Dotson, offensive guards Joey Fisher and Jovaughn Gwyn, defensive backs Lamar Jackson and Benny Sapp III, quarterback Emory Jones, defensive end Khalid Kareem and offensive tackle Tyrone Wheatley Jr. to Reserve/Futures deals. Thirteen of the 16 players were on the Falcons' practice squad at some point in 2024, with Gwyn, Jackson and Kareem seeing time on the active roster. Sills was with the Denver Broncos this year and was elevated to the active roster in Week 17, although he didn't see any action. He has 13 career catches for 123 yards in 16 games (seven starts) since debuting in 2021.
