No. 1 in the 30-second version
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.

Jacoby Brissett will start at quarterback for the Ravens Monday against the Chargers, with Lamar Jackson injured.
Brissett joined Baltimore in a trade shortly before a loss to Jacksonville, after Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley were hurt in Week 8. The Ravens are 4-5 and hoping to stay afloat in the second half of the season. Brissett said he is focused on the Chargers game rather than the team's plans at quarterback for the rest of the season.

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.

Rams place receiver Puka Nacua on injured reserve, ruling him out for at least four games.
Head coach Sean McVay had said Wednesday the Rams would not place Nacua on IR, but the team did so a day later, signing Brennan Presley to the active roster and Tyler Scott to the practice squad, per ESPN. Nacua has MCL and PCL sprains in his knee and turf toe, and he was hurt on an end-around on the final offensive play of the Week 9 win over Washington. He cannot return before the Dec. 20 game against Dallas under the IR rules. Davante Adams is also out for Sunday's game at Arizona.
