Philip Rivers News
Monday, January 26, 10:10 AM
Former NFL quarterback Philip Rivers has withdrawn from the Buffalo Bills' head coaching search, per NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Garafolo reports that NFL head coaching "might very well be in (Rivers') future, just not right now." After initially hanging up his cleats at the end of the 2020 season, Rivers came out of retirement at age 44 and finished the 2025 season as the starting quarterback of the Indianapolis Colts. He has coached high school football, but has no coaching experience at the NFL level. Buffalo moved on from long-time head coach Sean McDermott after the team's recent AFC Divisional Round loss to the Denver Broncos. McDermott went 98-50 in the regular season across nine years as the head man in Buffalo and led the team to seven consecutive double-digit win seasons from 2019 through 2025. However, Buffalo has not yet broken through past the AFC Championship Game since the emergence of star quarterback Josh Allen. A clear favorite to replace McDermott has yet to emerge, but the Bills appear to be casting a wide net in their search.

Sam Darnold News
Monday, November 9, 2:25 PM
Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said the team thinks that quarterback Sam Darnold (quadriceps, ribs) will be able to play coming out of their bye in Week 11 to start on Nov. 29 at the division-rival San Francisco 49ers, according to Gregg Bell. Macdonald said that Darnold's quad injury just needs more time to heal right now. Despite suffering a new oblique injury (in addition to right-elbow tendinitis), Drew Lock will start this Sunday at the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 10. The 29-year-old Darnold injured his quad and suffered a few cracked ribs in the Week 8 loss to the Chicago Bears last Monday night, and he will end up missing two straight games before hopefully returning for a crucial divisional battle in Week 12. Darnold led the Seahawks to a Super Bowl championship last year in his first season with the team, but things have not gone as well for him in the first half of 2026, as the two-time Pro Bowler has nearly as many interceptions (nine) as touchdown passes (10) in his seven starts. He is floating around on the waiver wire in many single-QB leagues, and an upcoming matchup against San Francisco in Week 12 (if he is cleared to return) will not be a good time to use him while coming off multiple injuries.
