Connor Heyward News
Thursday, March 12, 3:26 PM
The Las Vegas Raiders have signed fullback Connor Heyward to a two-year deal worth up to $5.5 million, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. The contract includes $2 million fully guaranteed. Heyward hit free agency earlier this week upon the expiration of his four-year rookie deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He's scored a touchdown in three of his four pro seasons, and he posted a respectable 449 scrimmage yards during his time in the black and gold. Of course, handling the football is just a minor component of his role as a fullback. He's far more involved as a blocker, creating opportunities for the quarterback or running backs. He'll now take his talents to Las Vegas, where he'll be tasked with blocking for a young offense that features Ashton Jeanty and will also likely include projected No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza.

Jonathon Brooks News
Friday, November 13, 7:40 AM
Carolina Panthers running back Jonathon Brooks (abdomen), who remains on Injured Reserve, is listed as doubtful to play in Week 10 on Sunday against the division-rival New Orleans Saints, according to Joe Person of The Athletic. Brooks took scout-team reps at practice on Wednesday and Thursday but was erroneously listed as a full participant. Instead, Brooks was limited, and he is unlikely to come off IR on Saturday and play on Sunday in New Orleans. It means that he most likely will not return from IR until next week at home against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 11. The 23-year-old former second-rounder from Texas has had trouble staying healthy in his NFL career, playing in just five games since being drafted in 2024. He has only played in two games for the Panthers in 2026 due to a core-muscle injury, and he has only nine rushing attempts for 30 yards while catching two passes for 43 yards in the passing game. When healthy, he should return as the change-of-pace backfield complement to starting RB Chuba Hubbard in Carolina's passing game, making him a PPR stash at the running back position as he nears his return from IR. Hubbard will have another opportunity to dominate the touches for the Panthers this weekend against the Saints.
