Lamar Jackson is not present at the start of Wednesday’s practice. Tyler Huntley and Joe Fagnano are the Ravens QBs warming up. Jackson hasn’t suited up since injuring his ankle on Oct. 4.

A very heavy security detail at today’s Bengals practice. A motorcade just arrived as well. Vice President J.D. Vance is in town and just wrapped up a rally in Greater Cincinnati.

Former North Texas QB Drew Mestemaker not only projected to be the first QB off the board but also be one of the top three picks.

As we enter Week 7, here’s my first crack at a 2027 mock draft. We dive into the top 10 picks, beginning with the Chargers at 1st overall: espn.com/nfl/draft2027/story…

Also, what a start to the year for Jermaine Eluemunor, who I covered like a decade ago at Texas A&M. Has carved out a very strong NFL career. 10-year vet playing well with the Giants.

Great nugget from Tony that prompted me to pull up the data and chart it. Graph distorts where Bengals RT Amarius Mims sits comapred to Seahawks RT Abraham Lucas (No. 1 in 1-on-1 rate), but it's clear where Mims ranks among offensive tackles this season.

Amarius Mims has allowed the lowest QB pressure rate (4.0%) among OT this season despite being left 1-on-1 at the 2nd-highest rate (87.6%) . Per @NextGenStats (minimum 100 pass pro snaps)

The other thing this doesn't take into account is how much tougher it is to block in CIN, when you're in so many dropback situations, compared to other teams in the NFL.

Nope. Both him and Brian Parker II are still on IR with a designation to return. Not sure where those roster spots would come from at this point.

Finished @LarsAnderson71’s latest book, an exhaustive look at Tom Brady, and learned a lot about him and the cost of becoming arguably the greatest QB of all time. Worth checking out!

And we’d have no use for “rules analysts” just giving their best guess. Listening to the guys making the decision is far, far more compelling.
