CJ Gardner-Johnson signs with the Ravens, who move their defense
According to ESPN and his agent Kevin Conner, the Safety CJ Gardner-Johnson joins the Baltimore Ravens. The former Eagles and Lions player is committed to a one -year contract with the Maryland franchise, strengthening a very weakened defense this season.
Gardner-Johnson (27) had signed in Houston at the offseason, but had been released after 3 games. Last season, he carried out six interceptions in the Eagles jersey, and participated in the title obtained in the Super Bowl Lix. In Baltimore, he will come in particular to replace Kyle Hamilton, injured in the groin.
On the departure side, Baltimore gets rid of Odafe Oweh (LB), sent to the loaders with a choice of the 7th round of the Draft 2027, ESPN announces. In exchange, the Ravens receive Alohi Gilman (s) and a choice of the 5th round of the Draft 2026. This transfer allows Ravens to win $ 8 million in the payroll.
A fine of $ 250,000 in Jerry Jones for an obscene gesture
According to ESPN, the League will inflict a fine of $ 250,000 on Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys, for an obscene gesture addressed to fans at the Metlife Stadium last Sunday. Videos shared on the networks show Jones a smile on his lips pointing towards the stands and then raising the middle finger, shortly after a fourth touchdown of his team, which had given a 37–14 advance in Dallas.
Jones reacted by saying that this gesture was involuntary: he claimed to greet cowboys supporters with a lifted thumb, not insulting opposing fans. He plans to appeal the fine.
“There was nothing antagonist in there. I just made the bad gesture with my fingers. It was inadvertently. I do not laugh, ”assured Jones at 105.3 The fan. “” […] The intention was to lift their thumb and show our fans because everyone was happy. »»
For Jonathan Gannon, it's $ 100,000
Jonathan Gannon (Coach, Cardinals) did not make a finger of honor to Emari Demecado (RB), but his intentions were clear. After a fumble of the player, the coach literally yelled at him, and even hit the arm made it a mood movement. All this while Demecado, obviously already sufficiently at the bottom of the hole, was being consoled by a teammate.
ESPN announces that the NFL inflicted a fine of $ 100,000 in Gannon.
Fines for coaches are rare. The last sanctioned was Bruce Arians in 2022. He had paid $ 50,000 for a blow in the helmet of one of his Buccaneers players.

Brenton Strange on the injured list
The Jacksonville Jaguars placed the Tight End Brenton Strange on the injured list (Injured Reserve) due to a hip injury, according to ESPN. He will have to miss a minimum of four games, which would make a possible return from week 10. The rookie led the team with 20 receptions before getting injured against the chiefs.
The injury is not considered a finished season, and the staff hopes to see him again by the end of the year. In the meantime, Evan Engram should see his role still reinforced in the Jaguars aerial game.
Saquon Barkley had asked for his transfer before the 2023 season
According to a documentary soon broadcast on bonus, we learn that Saquon Barkley had asked to be exchanged before the start of the 2023 season. Frustrated by the failure of negotiations for a long -term contract, the running back had directly called the owner John Mara to share his wish to leave New York. The exchange would have been refused by management, Mara who replied that he was “too precious” for the team.
Barkley finally played the entire 2023 season with the Giants, totaling 962 yards on the ground in 14 games. The story ended well for him: he left New York to the next off -season to join the Eagles, with whom he won the Super Bowl a few months later.
Titans: confirmed failure for Treylon Burks, coupe
18th choice of the first round of the Draft 2022, Treylon Burks (WR) will never be the great recipient expected by the Titans. ESPN announces that he was cut Tuesday, when he was on the injured list.
Victim of a collarbone fracture during the training camp, Burks had been cut, but he fell on the injured list. This time, it's really the end, with this cup from the injured list.
Burks can sign with any team and play immediately if it is completely recovered. His passage in Tennessee was marked by injuries, with only 27 games since 2022. The time to capture 53 balloons for 699 yards and a single touchdown.
The colts change kicker
Spencer Shrader (K, Colts) helped the colts to take a good surprising start. With 13 successful Field Goals, he leads the NFL after five weeks. But he was injured in the right knee and will no longer be able to replay this season. He will be replaced by Michael Badgley, signed Tuesday.
Badgley already played with the colts, it was in 2021. He had managed 18 field goals out of 21.
No return date set for Joe Mixon
The Houston Texans will have to deal without Joe Mixon (RB) for an even indeterminate duration. On the injured list since the start of the season, running back suffers from an injury whose gravity remains vague, according to ESPN. No return date was announced by the staff, who prefers to assess the situation day by day before considering a return to training.
This absence could weigh heavy for Houston, so Mixon has established itself as a key element of the attack since his arrival. In his absence, Dameon Pierce should inherit from the majority of the litters, while the Texans will have to adjust their game plan to maintain an offensive balance. Bad news while the team is trying to stay in the AFC South race.
Terrion Arnold avoids the worst, back hoped for this month
Good news for Lions: According to ESPN and Adam Schefter, the shoulder injury by Terrion Arnold (CB) is less serious than expected. After a second medical opinion, the cornerback could even come back by the end of the month. A positive development, while Dan Campbell initially feared a long -term absence, even an end of the season.
Released on a stretcher against Bengals, Arnold had already left the previous match against Cleveland for the same shoulder. Detroit, already deprived of DJ Reed (ischios) placed on the IR, quickly hopes to recover his young cornerback, drafted in the first round in 2024. Good news for a defense that was lacking in depth in the backfield.
