Hamlin Remains In Critical Condition

Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin remains in critical condition but is showing some signs of improvement, according to a statement from the team.

Hamlin collapsed during the first quarter of Monday night’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Concerned fans have shown their support by contributing upwards of $6 million to a GoFundMe campaign he set up to buy toys for kids in his hometown of McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania. 

 

Dolphins Sign Mike Glennon

The Miami Dolphins have signed Mike Glennon to their practice squad as a bit of added insurance in case Teddy Bridgewater's dislocated pinkie finger doesn’t heal by Sunday.

Rookie Skylar Thompson might be picked to start against the New York Jets in Week 18, with Glennon as backup. That’s if Bridgewater can’t throw a football by then, which, as of Wednesday, he couldn’t do, according to Yahoo! Sports.

It’s a lot of fuss about a pinkie finger, but Miami needs to win this Sunday if it hopes to make the playoffs.

 

Howell To Start In Sunday's Game

Rookie quarterback Sam Howell will start for the Washington Commanders in their Sunday game against the Dallas Cowboys, with Taylor Heinicke as backup. Carson Wentz has been benched again.
