Colts T Braden Smith feeling good after offseason knee surgery

Smith told reporters at a Tuesday press conference that he had surgery on his left knee after the Colts season ended in January. Smith missed three games late in the year, but returned to play in the final two contests of the regular season. He missed seven games overall during the season.
Smith said that he feels he has been progressing well since having the surgery and that he’s in a good spot when it comes to getting ready for the start of the 2024 campaign.
This season will be Smith’s seventh in the NFL and the 2018 second-round pick has spent his entire career in Indianapolis.

Jaguars, city of Jacksonville agree to $1.4 billion stadium deal

The Jaguars and the city of Jacksonville have agreed to a $1.4 billion stadium deal, the Associated Press reports.

The “stadium of the future” would keep the team in the city for another 30 years.

The proposal calls for each side to contribute $625 million to the $1.25 billion project. Jacksonville won’t levy any new taxes to pay for the rebuild and has committed to another $150 million to get EverBank Stadium ready for construction in 2026.

The city will finance its portion by moving $600 million from a capital improvement plan and using revenue from an existing, half-penny sales tax.

Re: All news NFL

Jets have seven standalone games in 11 weeks and two Sunday-to-Thursday turnarounds

For the third straight year, they’ve gotten a difficult schedule. Not as it relates to opponents, which are predetermined via a formula based on rotation and prior-season results. But as it relates to the configuration of the games.

Brian Costello of the New York Post has obtained the Jets’ full schedule.

Thanks to the presence of Aaron Rodgers, the Jets have six prime-time games in 2024. They also have a standalone Sunday morning game in London.

After the Monday night opener at San Francisco, the Jets will fly home for a Sunday game. But they won’t play at home. They’ll have to travel to Tennessee for a Week 2 game against the Titans. Then, they’ll fly home for a Thursday night game against the Patriots.
