DEC 4 STEELERS SIGNING MCSORLEY First it was former Raven Joe Flacco signing with the rival Browns. Now, another former Ravens signal-caller is heading to an AFC North foe as the Steelers are expected to add former Baltimore quarterback Trace McSorley to their practice squad.

Steelers starting quarterback Kenny Pickett had ankle surgery on Monday necessitating the move. McSorley, 28, was drafted by Baltimore with the No. 197 overall pick in 2019. He played in just three games in two seasons, completing three of 10 passes for 90 yards and a touchdown.

DEC 1 BROWNS STARTING FLACCO SUNDAY VS LA Joe Flacco is officially back to influence the AFC North playoff picture.

Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Flacco, the most prolific passer in Baltimore Ravens history, will get the starting nod for Cleveland’s crucial interconference showdown against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday (4:25 p.m. ET, FOX). Flacco, added to Cleveland’s system last week in the wake of quarterback injuries, was elevated to the top spot after rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson was placed in concussion protocol.

Flacco is best known for his days in Baltimore and has made regular season appearances with Denver and the New York Jets after his departure in 2018. During his storied career with the Ravens, Flacco posted an 18-3 record as a starter against Cleveland. Former XFL star PJ Walker will serve as Flacco’s backup.

NOV 29 FORMER RAVENS QB FLACCO MOVING UP FOR BROWNS Former Baltimore signal caller Joe Flacco has found a new home in Cleveland. After the season-ending injury to Deshaun Watson, the Browns were left thin at quarterback.

Coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed on Wednesday that Flacco will be called up from the practice squad and will be the backup to Dorian Thompson-Robinson, who is in concussion protocol. If Thompson-Robinson can’t go, the 38-year-old Flacco will get the start against the Rams on Dec. 3.

NOV 26 PIERRE-PAUL FINDS NEW HOME Former Baltimore Ravens pass-rusher Jason Pierre-Paul is expected to be joining the Miami Dolphins practice squad following Jaelen Phillips’ Achilles injury in their 34-13 win over the New York Jets on Friday, per a report from NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport.

The former 2010 first-round pick spent last season with the Ravens, playing in 14 games while totaling 26 tackles, five for a loss, three sacks, three quarterback hits, and an interception.

Since then, Pierre-Paul briefly spent time with the New Orleans Saints, where he played in just one game before being picked up off their practice squad by the Dolphins.

NOV 24 DEL RIO FIRED After yet another embarrassing performance by the Commanders defense – this time to division rival Dallas – Washington has fired its defensive coordinator, Jack Del Rio according to multiple reports.

The Commanders just suffered an embarrassing 45-10 loss to the Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day. Washington has also fired its defensive back coach Brent Vieselmeyer. Del Rio was in his fourth season as the DC in Washington and has faced criticism throughout much of his tenure.

Head coach Ron Rivera has always backed Del Rio, but now, with Rivera’s own job on the line, decided to make the move. Rivera, who is also a defensive coach, will likely handle the defensive playcalling moving forward.

Del Rio served previously as the head coach of the Raiders for three seasons and head coach of the Jaguars for nine.
