The Seattle Seahawksfinally put the pads on at Thursday's training camp practice. It represents a significant shift at practice, coming closer to replicating real football than anything else. Prior to Thursday's session, head coach Mike Macdonald had essentially been conducting a ramp-up period to get his team ready for the physicality of padded practices.Padded practices separate legitimate standouts from pretenders. Unsurprisingly, defensive tackle Byron Murphy II dominated Thursday's session. Murphy is the type of ascending superstar who thrives once practice gets physical.The Seahawks conducted 1-on-1 pass-rushing drills between defensive and offensive lineman. It's typically a staple of padded practices. Local reporter Gregg Bell noted that Murphy absolutely bull-rushed backup guard Christian Haynes into the backfield, generating significant power right into the blocker's chest plate.1-on-1 pass-rush drills in full pads=the most real football in #Seahawks training camp.Byron Murphy bull-rushed into Christian Haynes' chest, blew him into the backfieldRylie Mills beat Anthony Bradford with an inside rip move.

Sports bars and restaurants will not be forced to stream NFL Sunday Ticket this season after allan unexpected reversal of the leagues media strategy.A new multiyear deal will see DirecTV continue to distribute the NFLs out-of-market game package via satellite at commercial establishments.DirecTVs previous deal expired after the 2025 NFL season, and EverPass Mediaa joint venture between the league and RedBird Capitalbecame the exclusive commercial platform for Sunday Ticket. The change meant businesses that have long relied on DirecTVs satellite equipment to show NFL games would have to make the switch to streaming hardware from EverPass. DirecTV says it serves more than 300,000 commercial locations nationwide, which opened up the possibility of potentially widespread streaming issues for some customers this coming NFL season.The EverPass takeover was also another blow for DirecTV, which lost consumer rights to Sunday Ticket to YouTube TV in 2023. In March, DirecTV,went public with its frustration, saying that EverPass failed to meaningfully engage with DirecTV following months of proposals at terms consistent with the prior agreement, in a note to customers posted online, and that the EverPass streaming technology remains unproven in multi-screen commercial settings.EverPass said at the time that its goal was to modernize how premium live sports are delivered and ensure commercial establishments navigate this transition with confidence.But that approach has shifted, and DirecTV For Business (the satellite providers commercial arm) will now serve as EverPasss sales, marketing and commercial distribution partner for NFL Sunday Ticket with and without NFL RedZone. DirecTV For Business will also be EverPasss preferred national distributor for EverPass streaming platforms throughout the U.S.Additionally, the deal gives DirecTV For Business customers access to subscribe to other premium sports content on EverPass like the NFLs Netflix Christmas Day games, Amazons Thursday Night Football, and Peacock Sports Pass, among others. For sports bars and other businesses looking to show Sunday Ticket, that all means they will have the option of using DirecTVs satellite services or streaming technology from EverPass or DirecTV, depending on their setups.The new deal will run through at least the 2028 season, and potentially longer, one source told Front Office Sports. While financial details of the deal were not revealed, the value of the rights fee EverPass was seeking from DirecTV was one key disagreement that was resolved ahead of this new deal being signed, another source told FOS.The long-term strategy for EverPass remains to eventually transition all sports bars and other commercial customers to streaming technology for its live sports offerings. But its unclear when that will be 100% viable, given the challenges associated with some remote and more off-the-grid locations where satellite still offers a better feed that internet streaming.Editors note: RedBird IMI, in which RedBird Capital Partners is a joint venture partner, is the primary investor in Front Office Sports.The post NFL Sunday Ticket Will Still Be Available by Satellite at Sports Bars appeared first on Front Office Sports.

The Detroit Lions made another adjustment to their tight end room Friday morning.Detroit announced that it has waived tight end Zach Horton and signed veteran Anthony Firkser as training camp continues in Allen Park.The move adds an experienced NFL option to a position group currently working without Tyler Conklin, who is expected to miss time early in camp while recovering from a calf injury.Anthony Firkser Adds Veteran ExperienceFirkser gives Detroit another proven pass-catching option behind Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright.The veteran tight end has built his NFL career as a dependable depth player capable of contributing as a receiver, blocker and special-teams piece. His experience should allow him to step into practices quickly while the Lions evaluate the bottom half of their tight end depth chart.Detroit has also been experimenting with Jackson Meeks in a hybrid H-back and tight end role, making versatility an obvious priority for the coaching staff.Lions Move On From Zach HortonHorton entered camp competing for a reserve position after appearing in limited action last season.Detroit did not announce a specific reason for waiving him. The timing suggests the Lions wanted to add a more experienced option while Conklin remains unavailable.Training camp roster moves can happen quickly, especially at positions affected by injuries. Firkser now gets an opportunity to show whether he can provide enough reliability to earn a place on Detroits final 53-man roster.Bottom LineThe Lions have exchanged one tight end for another, waiving Zach Horton and signing Anthony Firkser.Firksers experience gives Detroit immediate insurance while Tyler Conklin recovers. His ability to contribute in several roles could make him an intriguing player to watch throughout camp and the preseason.

New York Giants cornerback Art Green sat out of practice on Thursday with muscle tightness, revealed head coach John Harbaugh."Art had a little tightness, a little muscle tightness, so he was out of practice," he told reporters. "I don't believe [it's serious]. He's getting some tests. I dont think so, but we havent heard yet."As of Friday morning, the results of Green's tests remain unknown.Green, a 6-foot-2, 200-pound defensive back, has been with the Giants since late August 2024 after beginning his career as an undrafted free agent with the Denver Broncos. He has appeared in 20 games for Big Blue, contributing on defense and special teams before a hamstring injury sidelined him for a stretch last season.The Giants re-signed him in March 2026 as an exclusive rights free agent.The early training camp absence is being treated cautiously while the team awaits further information from the tests. Green remains on the active roster as the Giants continue their preparations.Harbaughs update offered limited detail beyond the tightness itself and the pending evaluation, consistent with the teams measured approach to soft-tissue issues early in camp.This article originally appeared on Giants Wire: New York Giants do not believe Art Green's injury is serious

(Every roster is different, but there are traits on each one. All summer, Daniel Kelley will go roster-by-roster to identify the top fantasy football sleeper and bust on each roster and make a bold prediction for each team. This is Sleepers, Busts & Bold Predictions.) The 49ers had the NFL Comeback Player of the Year Award last year, in Christian McCaffrey. Theyve also won it two other times in the current iteration of the award (Bryant Young in 1999 and Garrison Hearst in 2001). Thats tied with the Chargers, Bengals and Patriots for most times having a player win the award since the AP brought it back in 1998 (to be fair, the Bengals are represented twice by Joe Burrow alone). Right now, among the top 10 in odds on DraftKings Sportsbook for Comeback Player of the Year Award in 2026 are three 49ers: George Kittle (+2000, sixth-best odds), Nick Bosa and Fred Warner (both +2500, eighth best); no other team has more than one player in the top 10 in odds. I do not believe an electrical substation is to blame for San Franciscos injury woes, either now or in the past. Its been studied and its not a believable phenomenon. I do believe that, at least in the recent history, Kyle Shanahans tendency to ride his top players until their joints grind to dust is a good way to end up with injuries, and also random things happen. Thats just a fact of life, and many of the things we see as a pattern is just the fact that in an infinite void, every eventuality can happen, and humans love to find patterns. What is more interesting is that the 49ers got to a 12-5 record and a playoff win last year despite all those guys who are now Comeback Player of the Year candidates suffering the injuries that they now have to come back from. It tells me that if this team can ever finally have a healthy season some exciting things can happen.2026 Sleepers, Busts & Bold Predictions: San Francisco 49ersSleeper: Kaelon Black, RB (or your backup RB of choice)I think Kaelon Black will be the top backup running back in San Francisco this season. Maybe you think its Jordan James or Isaac Guerendo. Heck, maybe its Sincere McCormick (it probably isnt Sincere McCormick). The point is, well see some production from a backup running back in San Francisco this year, and you can capitalize on it virtually for free. Christian McCaffrey totaled 450 touches last year. Hes 30 now. Im hardly the first one to point out that thats a scary combination for a running back, and it wouldnt surprise literally anyone if McCaffrey were to miss time. So the question is, if McCaffrey misses time, does this backfield become a one man job, or do we have a committee? Well, in 2024, the 49ers played 13 games without McCaffrey. In those games, one player had at least 60% of the teams backfield carries every time but once, when Jordan Mason got hurt in the second quarter and Isaac Guerendo took over. Take out that game that featured an injury of its own, and the lead ball carrier averaged 85.3% of the teams RB carries in every McCaffrey-less game. That includes six games of at least 90% of the carries and three times at 100%. Basically, if McCaffrey goes down, one guy will get the work. And while the 49ers recent history of Day 2 RB picks is spotty at best, I fully expect the first crack at that work will go to Black.Bust: George Kittle, TEI would be happy to be wrong here. But this appears to be a lesson we still need to learn dont bet on guys returning too fast from leg injuries, particularly Achilles. We spent months hearing that Aaron Rodgers was demolishing the schedule, only for him to need almost a whole year and then it taking another year for him to look even decent. Kirk Cousins wasnt great in 2024 in his return but looked better in his return last year. In the non-Achilles vein, Tony Pollard was an exciting fantasy draft pick in 2023 after his 2022 postseason injury, but he disappointed before looking better in 2024. George Kittle not only tore his ACL last year, he did it about as late as he could have, getting hurt in the Wild Card Round. Everything that has come out since then has been positive, and Kittle is going as a starter in fantasy. I am more than happy to let someone else pay the price on him and watch as he hangs around on the injury report for the first month or so and either misses games or plays on a limited basis. Meanwhile, Jake Tonges is a very sneaky little end-of-draft pick in deeper leagues. Hell be a producer over the first month or so.Bold Prediction: Mike Evans Leads the League in TD ReceptionsOne way or another, the 49ers will have a good offense. Its inevitable. But as I mentioned above, Im worried about both George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey this year. That means guys like Mike Evans, Ricky Pearsall or the backups will have to step up. For yardage, the expect the ball to be spread around. But when it comes to the end zone, the 6-foot-5 Evans will be the target. Even if he doesnt have the yardage of a younger Evans, the old man is in line to be the 49ers answer to Davante Adams last year let whoever gets the ball downfield to do that, but then when its close, throw it to the veteran who is especially good at that. And with Evans available at WR27 in ADP, hes a definite bargain in fantasy drafts.
