Per NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport, the Las Vegas Raiders have signed former Chicago Bears interim offensive coordinator Chris Beatty as their wide receivers coach. Beatty spent just one season with Chicago, initially hired as the team's wide receiver coach before garnering the title of interim offensive coordinator upon the firing of head coach Matt Eberflus. He spent the previous three seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers in the same position. While the Kansas native bolsters just four years of NFL experience, he's worn many hats during his time at the collegiate level and most notably led Landstown High School in Virginia Beach to a 40-2 record from 2003-05. This included three-straight state championship appearances and a 14-0 2004 season in which they won it all. Additionally, Beatty is known for his work with former NFL wideout Percy Harvin and current Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison.

Per Coral Smith of NFL.com, Las Vegas Raiders offensive coordinator Chip Kelly is elated to work under recently acquired head coach Pete Carroll. "I've got great respect from when I coached against him my first year in the Pac-10," said Kelly. "I think... if you get a chance to work with Pete Carroll, you're pretty excited about it." The 61-year-old spent four seasons as a head coach in the NFL after making a name for himself as the orchestrator of Oregon's fast-paced offensive attack. However, three seasons with Philadelphia and a 2-14 stint in San Francisco during the 2016 campaign spelled a temporary end to his NFL coaching career. Kelly would take a year off before becoming the head coach of the UCLA Bruins for six seasons and, most recently, led the Ohio State Buckeyes to a national championship as their offensive coordinator. He'll now team up with Carroll in an attempt to turn around a Raiders franchise with one winning season since 2017.

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive lineman Arik Armstead was presented with the 2024 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award at Thursday night's 2025 NFL Honors. Regarded as the highest honor in the league, the NFL Man of the Year award recognizes an athlete for his distinction on the field and exemplary community service off it. This was Armstead's fifth nomination for the award and first with the Jaguars. Additionally, he became the franchise's second recipient of the honor (Calais Campbell, 2019). The 31-year-old hasn't been the same force on the field that he was in years past. However, Thursday's stage provided an excellent platform to shine a light on his cause. He'll be back with the Jags' defensive unit for at least one more season

The San Francisco 49ers have hired ex-Indianapolis Colts defensive coordinator Gus Bradley to their defensive staff. He'll reunite with San Francisco's defensive coordinator, Robert Saleh, whom he worked with on the Seattle Seahawks (2011-12) and Jacksonville Jaguars (2014-16). It's a smart hire for San Fran, whose defense ranked seventh in yards allowed per game (317.4) but let up the fourth-most points per contest in the league (25.6). Bradley is a solid addition to aid Saleh in his day-to-day operations and runs the same scheme as the former Jets head coach, leaving a natural contingency plan in case Saleh opts for a head coaching gig in 2026. While his official role with the team has yet to be confirmed, it's reported that head coach Kyle Shanahan attempted to hire Bradley back in 2017, so this has been a long time coming.

Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Zack Baun (groin) practiced in full all week and was removed from Friday's final injury report for Super Bowl LIX on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs in New Orleans. Baun was listed on this week's injury report with what apparently was a minor groin injury. It's something to watch in Sunday's big game, but the 28-year-old should be just fine to play his usual amount of snaps in the middle of Philly's top-ranked defense as they look to prevent the Chiefs from becoming the first team in NFL history to win three straight Super Bowls. Baun, a former third-rounder, was a beast in his first year with the Eagles, being named a Pro Bowler and first-team All-Pro after recording 151 tackles (93 solo), 3.5 sacks, 11 tackles for loss, one pick, five forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 16 regular-season games.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end C.J. Uzomah (abdomen) practiced in full all week but is listed as questionable for Super Bowl LIX on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. Uzomah had his practice window opened last week and has been practicing in full, but it doesn't necessarily mean the Eagles will activate him from Injured Reserve for the Super Bowl this weekend. Even if the 32-year-old veteran tight end is activated on Saturday and is active on Sunday against the Chiefs, he won't be anywhere near the fantasy radar as depth behind both Dallas Goedert and Grant Calcaterra. In seven games in his first year in Philly, Uzomah made only three starts and was not targeted at all in the passing game. He really hasn't been fantasy relevant since he had a career-high 493 receiving yards and a career-high five touchdowns for the Cincinnati Bengals in 2021.

Despite practicing in full all week, the Philadelphia Eagles have ruled out wide receiver Britain Covey (neck) for Super Bowl LIX on Sunday versus the Kansas City Chiefs in New Orleans. Covey will stay on Injured Reserve this weekend and won't help the Eagles in the passing attack or on special teams. The 27-year-old former undrafted free agent out of Utah was only active for five games in his second NFL season in 2024 and caught seven of his eight targets for 34 yards and no touchdowns. He also returned six punts on special teams for a total of 46 yards. Covey last suited up for the Eagles in their Week 13 win over the Baltimore Ravens and was unable to haul in his only target.

Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter (illness) put in another full practice on Friday and was removed from the final injury report for Super Bowl LIX this Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. Carter was feeling under the weather earlier this week and was listed as limited in practice on Wednesday, and he also missed several of the Super Bowl media sessions. However, the 23-year-old former ninth overall pick out of Georgia appears to be just fine now and will be ready to go for Sunday's big game against KC. It's good news for the Eagles interior defensive line, as Carter has been a key player for the top-ranked Philly defense in his second year in the NFL. He had 4.5 sacks and 25 solo tackles in 16 regular-season games and has added two sacks, three solo tackles, two tackles for loss, five QB hits, three pass breakups and a forced fumble in three playoff games.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill has gone back on comments that he made after the team's Week 18 loss to the division-rival New York Jets in which he said, "I'm out," and "it was great playing here but at the end of the day, I have to do what's best for my career." "I'm taking full accountability for what I said. I'm gonna come back next year. I wanna stay with the Dolphins," Hill said on NBC Sports' Pro Football Talk during Super Bowl week. General manager Chris Grier said Hill never asked for a trade. The 30-year-old burner was clearly upset in the moment over a disappointing season in which the Dolphins missed the playoffs and he fell shy of 1,000 yards receiving for the first time since 2019. Hill has two years left on his current deal and should be back in South Beach in 2025 as he looks to bounce back after dealing with a nagging wrist injury pretty much all year.

The New York Jets signed former Houston Texans and Denver Broncos fullback/tight end Andrew Beck to an undisclosed one-year deal on Friday, according to a league source. Beck has never been a fantasy asset, and that won't change in 2025 in his first year with the Jets as he looks to open up holes for running back Breece Hall. The 28-year-old appeared in four games with the Green Bay Packers and Texans during the 2024 campaign and didn't see a single rushing attempt while failing to haul in either of his two targets through the air. Beck has only eight carries for six yards and a touchdown in his six years in the NFL and has caught 25 of 38 targets for 214 yards and three touchdowns as a pass-catcher. He was originally an undrafted free agent out of the University of Texas and spent the first four years of his NFL career with the Denver Broncos.

Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham (triceps) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs. Graham has been out since suffering a torn triceps against the Los Angeles Rams in late-November. He was limited in the first two practices of the week, but a full practice session on Friday gives some hope he'll be able to play on Sunday. Before going down, Graham recorded 20 tackles and 3.5 sacks in 11 games. He figures to play a part-time role if he's active for Sunday's big game.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Kenneth Gainwell (knee, concussion) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Sunday's Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs. Gainwell was limited to begin the week, but two straight full practice sessions has given Gainwell the all clear for Sunday's big game. Gainwell is the primary backup to running back Saquon Barkley in the Eagles backfield. That being said, Gainwell usually has a minimal role in the backfield, but at least the Eagles have him available if needed for Sunday's game.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Sunday's Super Bowl matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Smith missed practice all last week and was limited through three sessions this week. The Eagles are likely just being cautious with Smith because they know he's dealing with a lingering hamstring issue. Smith has been an important piece to this offense with 68 receptions for 833 receiving yards, and eight touchdowns through 13 games. Smith hasn't made a huge splash this postseason, but has finished with four receptions in all three postseason games heading into Sunday's Super Bowl.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (ankle) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Sunday's Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs. As expected, Goedert is ready to go after getting through three straight full practice sessions this week. This is good news for the Eagles offense with wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) still banged up heading into this game. That being said, Goedert might be asked to play a bigger role on offense if Smith is somewhat limited. Goedert is coming off a seven-catch performance for 85 yards during the NFL title game against the Washington Commanders. He figures to play a significant role during the upcoming Super Bowl.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Skyy Moore (abdomen) is considered doubtful for Sunday's Super Bowl matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Moore has been on the injured reserve since October due to an abdominal injury. He was designated to return last week, but was only able to get through limited practice sessions since then. It seems increasingly likely that Moore misses the big game, but his absence won't mean too much considering he has missed a majority of the season already. The Chiefs will head into the Super Bowl with Xavier Worthy, Marquise Brown, and DeAndre Hopkins as their top wideouts.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are expected to tender an offer to impending restricted free-agent running back Jaylen Warren this offseason, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Gerry Dulac. Dulac also goes on to say that he thinks there's a strong chance the Steelers will re-sign fellow RB Najee Harris despite the fact that the team didn't pick up the former first-rounder's fifth-year option. Warren, a former undrafted free agent, has played more of a secondary role to Harris in his first three years in the NFL, but he's been extremely productive with his limited opportunities, averaging 4.8 yards per carry on 346 rushing attempts for 1,674 rushing yards in 48 games. Placing a tender on Warren would give the Steelers a backup option in case the don't end up bringing Harris back. If Warren returns to Pittsburgh and Harris does not, Warren could be the team's lead back in 2025.

In Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell's Coach of the Year news conference, he said, "Our goal is to win a championship and Sam Darnold is going to be a huge part of it when we do it," When asked to clarify, O'Connell said that Darnold has "earned the right to be a free agent, but we will continue to have ongoing dialogue and discussions with him and his representation." O'Connell went back on his comments a bit and said his previous comments about Darnold were made "in the spirit of answering a question about Darnold's season." Darnold had a career season in 2024, but his struggles in the final two games might make the Vikings more apt to give first-rounder J.J. McCarthy a shot in 2025 and let another team spend on Darnold. The Vikings also have former Giants QB Daniel Jones as an insurance policy in case they let Darnold walk in free agency.

According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Gerry Dulac, there's a strong chance that the Pittsburgh Steelers will re-sign impending free-agent running back Najee Harris this offseason. In addition to Harris being a free agent, RB Jaylen Warren will be a restricted free agent. Harris, a former first-round pick, didn't have his fifth-year option picked up, which many believed was a sign the Steelers would move on when he was eligible for free agency after the 2024 season. Dulac doesn't think Pittsburgh will give Harris a hometown discount, but there's something to be said for the fact that he had four 1,000-yard season with 28 total touchdowns in his four years with the team. He dealt with minor injuries but managed to start all 68 games in his four seasons as well. The 26-year-old is expected to make $9.166 million per year on his next deal.

Los Angeles Rams pass-rusher Jared Verse was named the 2024 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year on Thursday night. The rookie out of Florida State made an immediate impact in his first year in the NFL and totaled 37 first-place votes to beat out Eagles cornerback Quinyon Mitchell. The 19th overall pick finished with 4.5 sacks and ranked fourth among all pass-rushers with 76 quarterback pressures. In addition, Verse was also one of eight non-linebackers to finish the year with 40-plus run stops. In L.A.'s Divisional Round loss to the Eagles, Verse had a fumble recovery returned for a touchdown. Verse's teammate, Brandon Fiske, came in third place in the Defensive Rookie of the Year voting. In addition to his 4.5 sacks on the year, Verse had 66 tackles (36 solo), two pass breakups, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in 17 regular-season games.

Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell was named the 2024 NFL Coach of the Year on Thursday evening. Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell finished in second place in the voting. O'Connell led the Vikings to a surprising 14-3 record in 2024, and they narrowly missed out on the NFC's top seed for the postseason after a Week 18 loss to the division-rival Lions. Nobody realistically expected Minnesota to even sniff the playoffs after rookie first-round quarterback J.J. McCarthy suffered a season-ending knee injury before the regular season even started. O'Connell and his staff led QB Sam Darnold to a career-best season, as he posted career-highs in passing yards (4,319), passing touchdowns (35) and completion percentage (66.2). In his three years guiding the Vikings, O'Connell has gone 34-17, including leading the team to an NFC North title in 2022.
