Panthers’ defense is blast from past

This looks oh-so familiar. “When we started out in 2003, we said we want to be the blueprint for what people in Carolina want their defense to look like, no matter who was the coach,” former Carolina Panthers defensive tackle Brentson Buckner said last week. “That’s what we did. “The guys they have now are […]

Ron Rivera blasts Panthers players

Matthew Stafford or Jared Goff for 2020 NFL MVP? Long shots for six NFL awards, including best coach and rookies

If it feels like I’ve prefaced every one of my columns recently by pointing out that the 2020 NFL season is going to be weird, it’s not an accident. We’re approaching a season in which it would be a pleasant surprise if each team were able to play all 16 games. Even if that happens, […]

Washington activates LB Reuben Foster off PUP list

Foster had torn the lateral collateral ligament and anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee on the first day of organized team activity work in May 2019. He also suffered nerve damage in his foot, which lengthened his recovery period. Washington’s veterans were able to start working Tuesday, though for now teams are mostly limited […]
