It’s Hixon’s first known visit since he turned down an offer from the Lions on the opening day of free agency. In Oakland, Hixon could return punts and kicks while also acting as a situational deep threat at receiver, replacing Darrius Heyward-Bey. Hixon, 28, is one of the better receivers left on the free-agent market.

The Raiders fired general manager Tom Telesco on Thursday, so that interview could take place before a new GM is put into place. Carroll completed an interview with the Bears on Thursday, and the 73-year-old appears invigored to return to the NFL after his long tenure with the Seahawks ended in 2024. The Raiders are also expected to interview Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn and Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo.

The news release states that officers “observed objective signs and symptoms of alcohol impairment” from Robinson after they spotted him driving more than 100 mph on US-101 back on November 25. The 30-year-old wideout wasn’t suspended at the time, but could face discipline from the league — likely in the 2025 season — after the charge was filed.

The Jets made the announcement on social media Thursday night. Glenn turned down a chance to interview with the Patriots, and he’s also scheduled to interview with the Raiders, Jaguars and Saints in the coming days. The 52-year-old has been a big part of the Lions’ transformation into one of the best teams in football, and seems likely to get a head coaching gig in the coming years if not 2025.

The game is being moved to the horrific events in the Los Angeles area involving fires with the league calling it a public safety issue. The game will still take place at 8:00 ET but instead will be played in State Farm Stadium; the home of the Arizona Cardinals. It’s a disappointing development for fans of the Rams, but a necessary one.

Jones getting the limited designation is likely more about maintenance for his quad injury than anything that suggests he won’t be able to play in the Wild Card Round against the Rams. It’s still something to monitor for those considering using him over the weekend.

All three of the interviews will take place virtually. It’ll be a busy day for Spagnuolo, who has long been one of the best defensive coordinators in football. To say it didn’t work out as a head coach his first time around is quite the understatement as seen in a 10-38 career record, but he would be far from the first coach to fail in his first attempt only to find success. It would not be a surprise at all if Spagnuolo was leading one of those three teams by the start of the 2025 campaign.

Miller did not make much of an impact with the Steelers with just five catches on nine targets for 69 yards with no touchdowns. The former Bowling Green star will likely be a depth add for a roster in 2025.

Metchie was able to get in a full practice Thursday, so it seems likely that the 24-year-old will be able to play against Los Angeles on Saturday. Considering the injuries to the Houston receiving corps and the possibility they’ll need to throw a lot in this game, Metchie is worth consideration for the playoff tilt.

Badie has not played since October after suffering a back injury that caused him to collapse in October. It’s possible he’ll be active for the Wild Card game against the BIlls, but it’s unlikely he would receive many touches for that contest in Buffalo.

Goedert was able to play in the Week 18 finale against the Giants will catching four passes for 55 yards after coming off injured reserve. The 30-year-old tight end should be a safety valve for Jalen Hurts (concussion/finger) for the Wild Card round against the Packers on Sunday.
