Every week we take a look around the NFL at each team. We pull the biggest and most discussed headlines from each of our 32 NFL websites.

Here’s all the biggest NFL headlines from this week:

NFC NORTH

After missing all but three games with a torn biceps in 2019, Lane Taylor is hoping to get back to his pre-injury form.

Detroit Lions (via Pride of Detroit)

Not exactly an optimistic outlook from ESPN.

Chicago Bears (via Windy City Gridiron)

Burns was announced as running with the starters, opposite Kyle Fuller on Monday

Who emerges as WR4 for the Vikings?

New Orleans Saints (via Canal Street Chronicles)

This is unfortunate to say the least.

Falcons knew Vic Beasley wanted to be pastor, not pass rusher, when picking up 2019 option

Atlanta Falcons (via The Falcoholic)

We hope Beasley gets to follow his dream, but this raises familiar questions about the Falcons and their decision-making.

Carolina Panthers (via Cat Scratch Reader)

The team’s most talented young offensive lineman is on the last year of his contract, and the team can’t let that continue to be the case.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (via Bucs Nation)

Bruce Arians has liked what he has seen from Howard so far this summer.

NFC WEST

Are Cardinals to Blame for Hopkins’ Hiatus?

Arizona Cardinals (via Revenge of the Birds)

Let’s face it—-something is just not right about DeAndre Hopkins spending three days at home away from his new teammates and the Cardinals training facility because of “tightness in his hamstring.”

After years of heavy investment, the Seahawks defense must significantly improve in 2020

Seattle Seahawks (via Field Gulls)

Cynthia Frelund of the NFL Network released her ranking of defensive lines. The Seahawks ranked last. Setting aside how she reached that conclusion, it’s not exactly surprising. I wasn’t trolled. I wasn’t click-baited.

Rams have NFL’s fastest growing YouTube channel

Los Angeles Rams (via Turf Show Times)

For some reason, I’ve been tracking this

AFC EAST

Dolphins linebacker Vince Biegel suffers torn Achilles during practice

Miami Dolphins (via The Phinsider)

Seven Reasons the Jets Shouldn’t Trade for Yannick Ngakoue

New York Jets (via Gang Green Nation)

The deadline has already passed to sign players who got the franchise tag to a long-term extension. This would make Ngakoue a one year rental. Some might suggest working out some sort of handshake extension that could be officially signed later.

Buffalo Bills (via Buffalo Rumblings)

The stadium formerly known as New Era Field will be renamed at a later date

Why isn’t Nick Chubb getting more love?

Cleveland Browns (via Dawgs By Nature)

Why Trading DeAndre Hopkins May Be A Good Thing

Jacksonville Jaguars (via Big Cat Country)

Second year Colts WR Parris Campbell off to a fast start in camp

Indianapolis Colts (via Stampede Blue)

Perhaps no play better sums up Campbell’s rookie year than his 27-yard catch against the Steelers that looked primed to go all the way for a score… until he tripped and then fumbled the ball out of bounds.

AFC WEST

Todd Davis carted off field with hurt leg as injuries strike on Day 6

Denver Broncos (via Mile High Report)

Davis hurt his left leg and had to be taken off the field. K.J. Hamler suffered a hamstring injury and Von Miller and Melvin Gordon each suffered “tweaks.”
