From Childhood Colts Fan to NFL Practice Squad

📸 Image Credit: AP For Brett Rypien, this week feels a bit like déjà vu — only this time, he doesn’t need face paint. Brett Rypien’s NFL journey has come full circle. As a 10-year-old, he painted his face in blue and white, cheering for the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLI. Now, nearly two decades later, that young fan has become part of the team he once idolized. “My mom sent me a picture the other day from that Super Bowl,” Rypien said. “Seeing myself covered in Colts face paint… it’s kind of wild to be here now.” Football runs in the family.

Bengals Lose Mike Gesicki Ahead of Crucial Thursday Night Clash vs. Steelers

📸 Image Credit: ESPN The Cincinnati Bengals’ uphill battle in the AFC North just got steeper. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the team has placed veteran tight end Mike Gesicki on injured reserve after he suffered a pectoral injury during the Week 6 loss to the Green Bay Packers. The move sidelines one of Cincinnati’s key offensive pieces for at least four games, further testing the team’s depth as it looks to turn its season around. Gesicki’s Injury Comes at a Tough Time Gesicki’s absence is a significant blow for quarterback Joe Flacco, who had started to develop chemistry with the athletic tight end after being traded to Cincinnati from the Cleveland Browns on October 7. In limited action, Gesicki provided a reliable middle-of-the-field option for Flacco, who thrives on tim...

Quarterback Chaos Continues This season, Cleveland entered training camp with four quarterbacks. Now, only two remain — both rookies. Dillon Gabriel has taken over as starter, backed up by Shedeur Sanders, after the team shipped Kenny Pickett to the Raiders and saw veteran Joe Flacco join the Bengals. Gabriel showed flashes of potential against the Vikings, tossing two touchdown passes in Week 5, but crashed back to earth versus...
