Steeler Who Said Key Starters Will Rest Week 17 Vs. Browns Backtracks

Pittsburgh Steelers offensive lineman Marcus Gilbert is essentially having a very public argument with himself. The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review’s Tim Benz reported Thursday that Gilbert said Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, wide receiver Antonio Brown and running back Le’Veon Bell wouldn’t play Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. The Steelers have to win in Week 17 and hope for a Patriots loss or tie to earn the No. 1 seed in the AFC. Otherwise, the Patriots snag it. Then came this. Well, except there’s that whole issue of audio recording technology. You can hear Gilbert say Roethlisberger, Brown and Bell won’t play at the 17:... NESN.com

Patriots Roster Battles: Defensive Tackle Group Looks Set After Offseason Moves

by Zack Cox on Wed, May 10, 2017 at 8:47AM 2,795 Share this: The 2016 New England Patriots were strong in the trenches on both sides of the ball. That shouldn’t change this season. In addition to bringing back their entire offensive line, the Patriots remained fully stocked at defensive tackle this offseason by re-signing Alan Branch and adding former Baltimore Ravens D-lineman Lawrence Guy in free agency.

Fellow starter Malcom Brown, who struggled with consistency at times in his second NFL season, was close behind with 596 snaps, while the third man in the interior defensive tackle rotation, Vincent Valentine,

NFL Rumors: Browns Taking QB With No. 1 Pick Would Be ‘Major Shock’

All eyes will be on the Cleveland Browns at the 2017 NFL Draft. There’s no way they screw it up, right? The Browns, of course, have this year’s No. 1 overall pick. And while Texas A&M pass rusher Myles Garrett is the consensus top player on draft boards, it’s been rumored that Cleveland is “strongly considering” taking quarterback Mitch(ell) Trubisky to fill a dire need at QB. But the Browns drew some attention Sunday by tweeting out a video of Garrett’s impressive 4.64-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine, and ESPN’s Adam Schefter used the opportunity to throw cold water on the Trubisky-to-Cleveland rumors.
