The Miami Dolphins' roster construction raises significant concerns, particularly under the leadership of GM Chris Grier and coach Mike McDaniel. The Dolphins' defense, which excelled last season, is being left under-resourced compared to the offense that has received multiple new additions, including a highly paid guard and a veteran quarterback. Despite the flashy offensive statistics, the Dolphins have struggled against quality opponents, with key players like Tua Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill, and Jaylen Waddle failing to perform when it matters most. The defense has seen a substantial outflow of talent, including the departure of future Hall of Famers, yet little has been done to adequately support defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver.

With the team’s offensive strategy overly reliant on Tyreek Hill, adjustments appear necessary to create a more balanced roster that can withstand pressure in high-stakes games. If the Dolphins want to compete, they must reassess their priorities and invest in their defense while addressing the offensive shortcomings that have led to their poor record against playoff teams.

Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter, key prospects in the upcoming NFL Draft, are set to showcase their skills at Colorado's pro day. Sanders, a quarterback, aims to dispel doubts about his arm strength and athleticism, while Hunter's versatility on both offense and defense remains a topic of debate. With the draft looming and uncertainty at the top of the order, both players have the opportunity to solidify their standings as potential top picks.

The Cleveland Browns and New York Giants are reportedly exploring other quarterback options, which adds intrigue to Sanders' performance. Hunter, meanwhile, is expected to impress evaluators with his drills and may solidify his position among the top four selections.

The NFL Scouting Combine has wrapped up and showcased the incredible talent of top draft prospects. Among the standout performances, Texas wide receiver Matthew Golden impressed with a blazing 4.29-second 40-yard dash, solidifying his place as a potential WR1. Miami quarterback Cameron Ward further established himself as QB1, benefiting from other quarterbacks' struggles. Ole Miss’s Jaxson Dart also made waves, noted for his accuracy and strong performance, potentially securing a top-three QB spot in the draft.

Ohio State’s Quinshon Judkins stole attention with strong athletic metrics, possibly positioning himself as a top-2 RB in a competitive running back class. South Carolina safety Nick Emmanwori wowed scouts with elite jumping numbers, suggesting he could be a first-round pick. Lastly, Texas A&M’s Shemar Stewart, showcasing quickness and agility, has now entered into the conversation for a top-15 selection. Fantasy football managers should take note of these rising prospects ahead of the draft.

The Philadelphia Eagles have placed tight end Dallas Goedert on injured reserve following a knee injury sustained against the Baltimore Ravens. Goedert, 29, will miss at least four games but may return for the playoffs as the injury is not deemed season-ending.

In response to his absence, the Eagles signed E.J. Jenkins from the practice squad, adding depth to the tight end position. Grant Calcaterra will likely assume the starting role, while additional roster moves were made to bolster the team ahead of their Week 14 matchup against the Carolina Panthers.

The Philadelphia Eagles have signed veteran fullback Khari Blasingame to their practice squad, marking a return to the position for the team after several years. This move comes after the injury of linebacker Ben VanSumeren, who had been filling in as a lead blocker.

Blasingame, who has experience with the Tennessee Titans and Chicago Bears, will primarily serve as a blocker, enhancing the Eagles' versatile running game. The team has not utilized a fullback since 2016, highlighting the rarity of the position in modern NFL offenses.
