Dolphins sign K Zane Gonzalez

It’s quite clear they haven’t lost faith in Cam Ward despite the record.

Kuharsky was answering a mailbag question about Ward. He went on to say all indications privately match what the team is saying publicly. They love how Ward approaches and takes on the work, reacts to coaching and goes about his business. Kuharsky added the team likely wishes things were moving faster but they are sticking with this and feel like they are seeing progress. Kuharsky added after Wards's career-best performance in Cincinnati, they actually have more cause to feel good than they have in some time. He went on to say they will assess more long-term things with Ward after the season. Based on this, it doesn't seem like the Titans will spend any early picks on a QB next spring in the draft. Kuharsky seems to be in the know and has covered the NFL for a long time - it seems like Ward will be in the Titans longer term plans as long as the arrow points up rest of the season.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson is dealing with a knee tendon issue that is not expected to require surgery but could sideline him for a short period of time, per source.

Related players: TreVeyon Henderson, Corey Kiner, Lan Larison

With Henderson also sidelined with what is being called an illness, it could very well leave the running back duties to Kiner. Kiner has flashed at times that he may have been picked up off your wire, but he's also disappeared at times that he may be back on the wire. It's worth looking into even if it's just for the volume of work he could get with any games Stevenson misses. He only has two catches all season so may not be used in the passing game, but he's coming off an 8-55-1 rushing performance in Week 9.

Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert underwent imaging on his injured left middle finger, and coach Jim Harbaugh said the tests came back negative for a fracture.

“So he should be good to go,” Harbaugh said Monday, via the Associated Press.

Herbert injured his non-throwing hand on a sack by Logan Hall when the quarterback tried to stiff-arm the defensive lineman with 14:12 remaining in the fourth quarter, the story said. Herbert had his left hand surgically repaired during the 2025 season after breaking a bone in the back of the hand during a Week 13 game, the story also pointed out.
