Scouting Combine remains in Indianapolis
The NFL announced that the Scouting Combine will not move from Indianapolis immediately. She announced that the 2026 edition will still be held on site. It was already confirmed for that of 2025. The next edition is scheduled for February 27 to March 2.
The NFL had begun accepting applications from other cities interested in the Combine. But for the moment, she clearly hasn’t found what she’s looking for.
Roger Goodell still wants 18 games per season
Roger Goodell wants a more international NFL, but also more regular season games. So on Thursday, he linked the two themes.
But above all, he changed the deadline. He had already said all these things earlier in the year 2024. But speaking of a ten-year vision. Now it’s shorter.
“We would like to have 16 international matches within five years,” explained the league boss during an event held Thursday, according to Sports Business Journal.
And to have more international matches, you might as well have more matches altogether.
“We would like to go from 17 (regular season games) and 3 (preseason games) to maybe 18 and 2. And that will open up more inventory to play internationally. »
As our colleagues from ProFootballTalk.comthe two subjects are however absolutely not linked. Currently, with 17 games in the season for each team, the NFL could very well have 16 international games. This would even allow for 8 home matches, 8 away and one on neutral ground for each team.
If the NFL wants 18 games, it’s to earn more money on TV rights, ticketing… Quite simply.
Harrison Butker injured in knee
Harrison Butker (K, Chiefs) did not finish Thursday’s practice. The fault of one left knee pain. According to NFL Media the injury will require 3 to 4 weeks of restafter a meniscus surgery. Harrison Butker therefore takes the path of the list of injured.
This is a significant loss for the Kansas City Chiefs. Although undefeated, the defending champions need all the points every weekend to win their match. This season Harrison Butker scored a total of 18 field goals for 20 attempts and 21/22 extra points.
To compensate for this disappointment, the Kansas City Chiefs reacted immediately and sign Spencer Shrader (K) from the Jets practice squad.
Injuries
– Tyreek Hill (WR, Dolphins) is always delicate with his wrist. But the receiver said he doesn’t want to have surgery before the end of the season. He said the injury occurred in August and got worse over the weeks.

In brief
– Justin Fields (QB, Pittsburgh) aura play calls for him. In any case, this is what his offensive coordinator, Arthur Smith, announced. “Maybe it will be Sunday, maybe the next one. I’m very confident, when we execute it, it will make a difference.” For the moment, since the winning return (3 wins – 0 losses) of Russell Wilson (QB) at the head of the Steelers attack, Justin Fields has not seen the field again.
– Mike McCarthy (HC, Cowboys) confirmed that Jonathan Mingo (WR)arrived on the last day of the transfer period, will be active this weekend. Dallas will play the Houston Texans on Monday Night Football. This game will be the first for the receiver in his new team.
– Russell Wilson (QB, Steelers) wants to play 5 to 7 more seasons. At 35, the quarterback is aiming for the end-of-career age of Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers. Currently, Russell Wilson has found a second youth with Mike Tomlin (HC) in Pittsburgh. He won his three NFL games of the season as a starter and has 737 yards, 6 touchdowns and 1 interception on the clock. “ I want to play for another 5 to 7 years. I think that’s always been my goal, I’ve been clear with that from the beginning. […] I was lucky to play over 200 games and not miss many. I feel good, I feel young, I feel like I can still move around the field, make decisions and make all the throws,” he said. announced on ESPN.
Derrick Henry has a step from a very closed circle
Every weekend history repeats itself, every weekend Derrick Henry (RB, Ravens) manages to get into the goal.
Derrick Henry is still the king of the running game in the NFL and maybe even a little more since joining the Ravens this season. The running back amassed 12 touchdowns on the ground, 14 in total, but also 1,120 yards and 184 carries. He is the leader in all these categories.
A rare thing for touchdowns, Derrick Henry scored at least one in each game. A new touchdown during the next meeting would increase his tally to 11. Derrick Henry would enter a very closed circle with OJ Simpson (14), Jerry Rice (12), and John Riggins (12). But unlike the others, Henry’s series remains ongoing.
