Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth could be found more easily on a milk carton than on a football field through the team’s first five games.

Late news Peter Stöger shuffles things quite a bit. Some of it is due to injury—losing striker Claudy Mbuyi, for example—but some of it’s tactical as well. Stefano Pioli’s also missing his top striker in Moise Kean, so it’s Roberto Piccoli and Edin Džeko to lead the line; Albert Guðmundsson remains glued to the bench. […]

It wasn’t hard to see that the New York Jets entered the 2025 season with an uneven wide receiver room. Leading the room? Garrett Wilson, who is arguably one of the league’s top 10 wideouts.
