The Baltimore Ravens are expected to place starting right tackle Jared Gaither (back) on injured reserve, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Gaither has been slow to recover from a preseason back injury, believed to be some kind of thoracic disc problem. Gaither could undergo surgery once he is placed on injured reserve. Marshall Yanda will [...]

Philadelphia Eagles LT Jason Peters will miss Week 6 after undergoing knee surgery to repair a damaged meniscus. Peters is also in danger of missing Week 7, as the Eagles have a Week 8 bye and will most likely not rush back their highly-paid left tackle. King Dunlap will start Sunday against Atlanta. Watch out [...]

The New England Patriots have placed OL Nick Kaczur (back) on injured reserve, ending his season. Kaczur was set to start at left guard in place of holdout Logan Mankins, but he never saw the field in 2010 after undergoing surgery to repair a bulging disc in his back in August. Kaczur’s condition had reportedly [...]

San Diego Chargers LT Marcus McNeil has signed a five-year contract extension through the 2015 season. McNeil is eligible to return this week from his team imposed suspension and will provide an immediate boost to a Chargers’ offense that has exceled during the first five weeks of the season. McNeil is well worth top-end left [...]

Philadelphia Eagles LT Jason Peters will undergo an MRI on his left knee after leaving Sunday’s game against San Francisco. Peters is one of the most overrated players in the NFL, that being said, his loss for any amount of time would be significant. His backup is King Dunlap. With Jamaal Jackson already out for [...]

Washington Redskins LT Trent Williams (toe, knee) will be a game-time decision for Sunday’s game against Philadelphia. Williams has been stellar so far against some impressive competition, (Mario Williams, DeMarcus Ware) so if he can’t go, Donovan McNabb could be in some trouble. Eagles DE Trent Cole would be in line for a monster IDP [...]

Indianapolis Colts LT Charlie Johnson reaggrevated his previous foot injury and did not play in Sunday’s win over Denver. The Broncos’ pass-rush is nothing special without Elvis Dumervil, but Johnson’s injury is becoming a long-term concern for the Colts. Peyton Manning hasn’t missed a beat, however, and until he does there’s no need to panic [...]

San Diego Chargers LT Marcus McNeill has signed his one-year contract tender with the San Diego Chargers and has reported to the team. McNeill is ineligible to play until Week 6 after being placed on the Roster Exempt list several weeks ago. Still, this is big news for Philip Rivers, who gets his blind-side protector [...]

Houston Texans starting LT Duane Brown has been suspended four games for violating the league’s performance-enhancing substance policy. Brown is a very solid left tackle, so Matt Schaub will surely miss him the next four weeks. Rashad Butler will likely step in until Brown returns. Brown’s absence is a slight downgrade for the Texans’ offensive [...]

Pittsburgh Steelers LT Max Starks (ankle) will miss Sunday’s game against Tennessee. Starks has a good chance to be back from his sprained ankle in Week 3, but for now the Steelers will struggle to protect Dennis Dixon.
