Officially official. My first @bsky.app post.

The long-anticipated trade finally happened, with a 2027 4th rounder going to the Colts.

Trade: The Colts are trading 3-time Pro-Bowl DT DeForest Buckner back to the 49ers, the team that made him a 2016 first-round pick before dealing him to Indianapolis in 2020, per me and Adam Schefter. A reunion!! Now Buckner returns to SF, fortifying their defensive line.

The Seahawks trade for future HOFer Quentin Nelson.

Trade: The Colts are sending eight-time Pro-Bowl guard Quenton Nelson to the Seahawks, per Adam Schefter and me. Nelson is on an expiring contract and the Colts get back draft capital now before they could lose him in free agency. A Colts legend goes to the champs.

Ravens first-round guard Vega Ioane, one of the NFL’s best rookies this season, suffered an MCL sprain against the Bengals, sources tell me and Mike Garafolo. It’s considered to be a short-term injury, though he will miss a little time.

Jay-Z it is! Perfect.

Raiders coach Klint Kubiak made clear that “there is no controversy” — Kirk Cousins will start this week. As for Fernando Mendoza, “Fernando is going to play at some point, but it’s not going to be this week.”

Meanwhile, coach Mike Macdonald announced that they're opening the window for Seahawks RB Jadarian Price. Help is on the way.

Seahawks OT Charles Cross, who suffered an ankle injury on Sunday, has a high-ankle sprain and will miss time, the MRI revealed. The hope is he’s back in 1-2 weeks, but it depends on how rehab goes.

Significant news in the coaching agent world: Respected agent Sean Kiernan joins WIN Sports Group, working with Clint Dowdle and Jacques McClendon. During the last 6 cycles, Kiernan has represented multiple NFL HCs and more NFL GMs than any other agent.

Packers LB Zaire Franklin, who missed last week’s game after getting accidentally kicked in practice, suffered a hairline fracture in his leg, sources say. Green Bay did not place him on Injured Reserve, and they believe he can return while missing minimal games.

The Patriots are releasing their punter from the previous three seasons, Bryce Baringer, source says. He’s been on Injured Reserve, but is healthy now.

Packers C Sean Rhyan, who left Sunday’s game with an ankle injury, is believed to have suffered a high-ankle sprain, sources say. X-Rays were negative, and he has an MRI today. But high-ankle sprains are often 4-6 week injuries

The Dolphins get their first win for head coach Jeff Hafley.

Earning back his spot.

Ravens LB Roquan Smith (knee) is questionable to return.

CJ Stroud to Marvin Harrison Jr. has a familiar ring.

Giants RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. is questionable to return with a hamstring injury.

Something you NEVER see: A blocked PAT turns into Zyon McCollum's 2-pointer.

Here is the glove Bucs QB Baker Mayfield will wear to protect his dislocated thumb, with thanks to the Tampa Bay Rays training staff.

Darnell Washington is ridiculous. How?

Seahawks defenders LB Uchenna Nwosu (hip) and S Nick Emmanwori (hip) are both listed as questionable and both expected to go, sources say.

Broncos star CB Pat Surtain II, who has missed the last two games with an ankle injury, is unlikely to play today, source says. But there’s a good chance he’s back next week.

Browns S Grant Delpit cleared the NFL’s concussion protocol and will play today. Meanwhile, CB Denzel Ward will warm up and see if he can go. Ward is questionable with a hand injury.

Jets star RB Breece Hall, attempting to return from a quad strain after missing three games, is unlikely to play today, sources say. He may work out to see if he can go, but Hall hasn’t been a full participant yet. It's a bit early.

Cardinals S Budda Baker (groin/illness) is listed as questionable and expected to play against the Broncos, source says.

Falcons DE Za’Darius Smith (neck) and DT Gervon Dexter Sr. (hamstring) are listed as questionable and both are expected to go, sources say. Much less optimism for Olamide Zaccheaus (shoulder).

The Browns and standout DT Maliek Collins have agreed to terms on a 2-year extension for $30M with $23M in total guarantees, agent Drew Rosenhaus tells me and Adam Schefter.

— The Broncos activated RB Jonah Coleman from IR and OLB Jonathon Cooper from the exempt list. — The 49ers activated WR Christian Kirk to make his debut. — The Vikings activated RB Jordan Mason off injured reserve to their 53-man roster.

All hands on deck: Both #Commanders WR Stefon Diggs and 49ers WR Mike Evans are officially active tonight. Evans did not practice all week

Bad to worse: Rams star WR Davante Adams, who sustained a hamstring injury in last night’s loss to the Cardinals, is out 6-10 weeks.
