    David Njoku (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.
    With just one practice left in the week, it certainly looks like Njoku has played his last snap of the season. He has dealt with several injuries this year and the ankle issue has already cost him one game. Jordan Akins will be a punt TE2 option once Njoku is ruled out.
  • LAR Quarterback #9

    The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reports “the Rams’ preference is to stay year-to-year on a prospective deal for Matthew Stafford.”
  • FA Quarterback #7
    Miami QB Cam Ward said he will not throw at the NFL Scouting Combine.
    Ward has a chance to be the No. 1 overall pick in the draft, and said he doesn’t believe throwing at the combine will help boost his draft stock. Ward, who threw for 4,313-39-7 in his lone season with the Hurricanes, said he does plan to throw at Miami’s pro day, which is scheduled for March 24th.
  • PHI Coaching Staff
    Eagles hired Scot Loeffler as QB coach.
    Loeffler has spent the last six seasons serving as the head coach at Bowling Green. The former Michigan QB joined the coaching ranks in 1996 and has served as a QB coach at the majority of his stops. His lone stint in the NFL was during the 2008 season when he worked with the trio of Dan Orlovsky, Daunte Culpepper, and Jon Kitna on an 0-16 Lions team. He should have a much better stint in the pros this go around now that he gets to work with Jalen Hurts and the defending Super Bowl champs.
  • LAR Quarterback #9
    The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reports the Rams and Matthew Stafford will meet in person on Friday to discuss his future.
    Stafford has been the subject of trade talks all week ever since the Rams permitted him to speak with other teams. The teams most closely connected to Stafford are the Giants and Raiders, who according to Russini, have both discussed a two-year deal with Stafford that could pay between $90-$100 million in guaranteed money. The 37-year-old signal-caller threw for 3,762-20-8 last season and is reportedly seeking more than $50 million next season regardless of where he lands. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported on Thursday that a resolution in this saga is expected soon, so it’s possible we know his next destination before the start of the new league year, which begins on March 12th.
  • Texas A&M EDGE Shemar Stewart showcased elite athleticism at the NFL Scouting Combine on Thursday.
    Stewart participated in the NFL Scouting Combine’s straight-line speed and jumping drills on Thursday. He clocked in with a 4.59-second 40-yard dash and a 1.58-second 10-yard split. He finished second among defensive ends with a 40.0-inch vertical jump and first with a 10-foot, 11-inch broad jump. Stewart totaled just 4.5 sacks in three college seasons but his size-speed profile will undoubtedly intrigue defensive line coaches.
  • LAR Quarterback #9
    NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said it seems like both the Rams and Matthew Stafford “expect a resolution,” regarding Stafford’s future, by the end of the NFL Scouting Combine.
    While the Rams have given Stafford permission to seek a trade, Rapoport also said that “Stafford returning to the Rams is at least possible.” The Raiders and Giants have previously been reported as the two potential landing spots for the veteran quarterback. The former team offers Stafford the chance to help foster an organizational turnaround, under new leadership, while the other team would likely be counting on him to save more than one front office job. Both organizations will likely be looking for a new long-term starter soon enough though. Staying with a stable, proven organization like the Rams could give Stafford his strongest odds of reaching a Super Bowl, which undoubtedly looms large as he approaches retirement at age 37.
  • MIN Quarterback #14
    Beat reporter Andrew Krammer said that the Vikings “don’t anticipate” using the franchise tag on Sam Darnold.
    Krammer went on to explain that the Vikings do not plan on tagging him because “they do not intend to keep him on the tag, and trading him on the tag proves to be pretty difficult.” Per Krammer, the 2019 Chiefs are the most recent team to successfully execute a trade-and-tag scenario, having sent LB Dee Ford to the 49ers in exchange for a second-round draft pick in the 2020 NFL draft. Unless something changes, Darnold will hit free agency on March 12.
  • FA Defensive Back
    Colorado DB/WR Travis Hunter told reporters that he hopes to “earn the other position” if an NFL team drafts him with just one position in mind.
    Hunter made clear that he would “like to play both” cornerback and wide receiver in the NFL but critically acknowledged that it is “not [his] job” to make that determination. He furthered the point by saying, if an NFL gives him “the opportunity to play both sides of the ball, [he will] play both sides.’' Hunter’s desire to maintain his unique dual-threat college role could rub NFL coaches the wrong way, potentially coming off as being entitled to it. Emphasizing his willingness to earn both roles, as a team-first player, could go a long way toward achieving one of his “dreams, to go No. 1" overall in the 2025 NFL draft.
  • FA Quarterback #7
    Beat reporter Nick Underhill reports that the Saints met with former Miami QB Cam Ward at the NFL Scouting Combine.
    This meeting is less important than a top-30 visit but it is notable nonetheless. Incumbent starter Derek Carr carries a $51.458 million salary cap hit in 2025 alone, but if the team decides Ward is a future star, anything is possible. Should the Saints invite Ward in for a follow-up, top-30 meeting next month, fantasy managers must take note.
  • DET Linebacker #42
    NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports that the Lions “plan to release veteran LB Jalen Reeves-Maybin when the new league year begins.”
    Reeves-Maybin is a backup linebacker and special teams ace, most recently earning Pro Bowl and second-team All-Pro honors for his special teams efforts in 2023. The 30-year-old player will likely find a suitor on the open market though he is also the president of the NFLPA, and can likely transition to a career in player advocacy at any time.
