Per the Denver Post’s Luca Evans, Bonitto injured his wrist by “slamming the ground” moments after the Broncos’ Week 2 loss to the Colts. He then played the rest of the season with a large club on his right hand. Despite the issue, Bonitto still totaled 17 sacks this season.

Patriots LB Robert Spillane (ankle) was limited on Thursday.

06 February 2026

Spillane resumed practicing today after sitting out on Wednesday. He missed Weeks 14-18 with the same ankle injury, but managed to return for postseason play. Spillane aggravated the injury in the AFC Championship Game, yet remained confident that he would play in Super Bowl LX against the Seahawks. Today’s return is a good sign. Unfortunately, Patriots LB Harold Landry (knee) was downgraded today after logging a limited session on Wednesday.

Seahawks S Nick Emmanwori (ankle) did not practice on Thursday.

06 February 2026

Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters earlier today that he is “confident” Emmanwori will play in Super Bowl LX against the Patriots. Shortly thereafter, ESPN’s Jeff Darlington said that Emmanwori underwent imaging on the injured ankle and, in a poorly worded report, indicated that Emmanwori avoided a high-ankle sprain. The rookie safety notably suffered a high-ankle sprain in the same ankle back in Week 1, causing him to miss Weeks 2-4. Hopefully, Emmanwori resumes practicing ...

Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (oblique) practiced fully on Thursday.

06 February 2026


ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the Cowboys will play in “the NFL’s first-ever regular-season game next season in Rio de Janeiro.”

06 February 2026

The Cowboys’ opponent has not yet been revealed. This is the second international game to be announced today. The 49ers will also play the Rams in Melbourne, Australia next season. The Chiefs and Chargers notably played in São Paulo, Brazil in Week 1 of 2025 season.

Cardinals requested an interview with Chiefs assistant QB coach Dan Williams for their quarterbacks coach vacancy.

06 February 2026

Williams signed on with the Chiefs as a coaching intern in 2019. He was the assistant to the head coach from 2020-2021 and spent 2022 as an offensive assistant. He became the offensive quality control coach and assistant quarterbacks coach in 2023. Bringing Williams aboard as a young quarterback’s mentor could make a lot of sense for the Cardinals.

Lions hired Steve Oliver as their new tight ends coach.

06 February 2026

Oliver initially joined the Lions’ coaching staff as an offensive quality control coach in 2021. He was promoted in 2023, becoming the team’s assistant offensive line coach under offensive line coach and run game coordinator Hank Fraley. Oliver notably played for Fraley as an offensive lineman at the University of San Diego in 2012. Oliver will now coach a position group led by star TE Sam LaPorta.

Giants completed interview with ASU offensive coordinator and QB coach Marcus Arroyo for their quarterback coach vacancy.

05 February 2026

Arroyo has held his current roles with ASU for the last two years. In his first season on the job, Arroyo notably featured current Giants RB Cam Skattebo as the team’s offensive focal point, dialing up 248 carries and 40 targets the burly back across the full college season. Arroyo sat out the 2023 season after being relieved of his head-coaching duties after a three-year stint at UNLV. He has one season of NFL coaching experience under his belt, having served as the Buccaneers’ quarterbacks ...

Cardinals hired Matt Merritt as their new running backs coach.

The second was with the 49ers in 2019, where Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur then served as the passing game coordinator.

ESPN’s Jeff Darlington reports that Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (oblique) will start in Super Bowl LX against the Patriots.

05 February 2026

This was always the expectation, but we will continue to update Darnold’s practice participation level and his official game status. Darlington adds that Darnold was limited again today, as has been the case since he suffered the injury during the Seahawks’ final Divisional Round practice. He threw for a season-high 346 yards against the Rams in the NFC Championship Game, assuaging all performance-related concerns.
