No. 1 in the 30-second version
Bengals back out of trade for Eagles edge rusher Arnold Ebiketie, a league source confirmed.
The deal was agreed Tuesday for a 2027 sixth-round pick, but it would have cost Cincinnati a 2027 third-round compensatory pick tied to Trey Hendrickson signing with Baltimore. Ebiketie, 27, has 25 tackles and no sacks this season and remains with Philadelphia unless another trade is found. Cincy Jungle, a fan site, says the Bengals' defensive end depth is thin with Cashius Howell on injured reserve.

Seahawks sign former Bengals starting guard Cordell Volson to the practice squad.
Volson, 28, made 48 starts in three years with Cincinnati, missed last season with an injury, and has since spent time with the Titans and Packers, according to Field Gulls. Seattle released safety AJ Finley to make room, and Field Gulls reports that guard Quenton Nelson had a minor knee procedure after one game and is week to week but should avoid IR.

Steelers' Derrick Harmon remains limited in practice as he works back from injured reserve.
Harmon, out since going on injured reserve Oct. 10 with a foot injury, returned to practice Wednesday and says he is '100% healthy' but is taking things day by day. Safety DeShon Elliott moved to a full participant Thursday after an ankle designation, while Cam Heyward did not practice and T.J. Watt was limited, both with rest designations. Behind the Steel Curtain notes the Bengals had not released their Thursday injury report.

Jim Harbaugh urges the NFL to investigate a loophole that led to the nixed Daiyan Henley trade with Denver.
The trade would have sent Henley to the Broncos for a 2027 fourth-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick, but it was called off after his physical. According to ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter, Denver reportedly had medical concerns about Henley after a shoulder injury he suffered against the Rams. Henley will remain with the Chargers.

Eagles trade defensive tackle Jordan Davis to the Jaguars for a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-rounder.
NBC Sports Philadelphia reports Davis signed a three-year, $78 million extension eight months ago and had a disappointing season overall. Howie Roseman, the Eagles' executive VP and GM, made the trade, which clears the way to keep Moro Ojomo. Davis played 323 snaps in nine games, and the snaps will likely go to Byron Young and Ty Robinson.

Bruce Arians says he wants to coach in the NFL again next season.
Arians told Jordan Schultz that his 2022 retirement from the Buccaneers was due to health problems, including a torn Achilles, back trouble and a heart aneurysm he was monitoring, and that those problems are now resolved. He said talking with his son, a high school coach, reminded him how much he misses the game. If he returns next year at 75, he would be the oldest head coach in NFL history, passing Pete Carroll, who was 74 coaching the Raiders last season. Stampede Blue, a fan blog, speculates Arians could be a Colts candidate as questions grow about Shane Steichen.
