ROBERT QUINN

The NFL trade deadline turned into a frenzy with 15 teams making 10 deals involving 12 players and several draft picks.

After trading Robert Quinn and Roquan Smith in the past week, the Bears looked like pure sellers. So why did they deal for Chase Claypool?

A person with knowledge of the deal says the Chicago Bears have agreed to trade linebacker Roquan Smith to the Baltimore Ravens.

Chicago Bears linebacker Roquan Smith is reportedly heading to the Baltimore Ravens for two draft picks, as the former eighth overall pick looks to bolster their defense.

Justin Fields might be in his best groove yet in his second season as Chicago’s quarterback.

Roquan Smith is a centerpiece of the Bears defense, but he'll be without teammate Robert Quinn, traded to the Eagles, for the rest of the year.

The undefeated Philadelphia Eagles have bolstered their defense prior to the NFL trade deadline, adding Chicago Bears veteran pass rusher Robert Quinn.

The undefeated Philadelphia Eagles have acquired three-time Pro Bowl defensive end Robert Quinn from the Chicago Bears.

The realization of what the season has become seemed to sink in for always optimistic Pete Carroll. Barring a confluence of unexpected results playing out over the next three weeks, it seems almost certain the Seattle Seahawks won’t be going to the playoffs for only the third time in Carroll’s tenure. “We will overcome the issues and get back to playing and focus on the things that make us have a chance, by practicing well, studying hard, caring and loving this game,” Carroll said.

Kirk Cousins threw for two touchdowns, and the Minnesota Vikings beat the struggling and short-handed Chicago Bears 17-9.

Chicago Bears coach Matt Nagy will miss Sunday’s game against San Francisco because of the NFL’s COVID-19 protocol.

“I don’t ever remember having our own defense score more than our offense,” Nagy said. “That’s that’s that’s hard to do. But the offense has averaged 16 points per game in Foles’ four starts since, and he’s getting little help from the players around him. The offensive line struggled against the strong front of the Rams (5-2), producing just 2.9 yards per carry. Foles was sacked four times, twice at the hands of former Bears linebacker Leonard Floyd, and he threw two interceptions.

DALLAS COWBOYS (8-8)New Faces: Coach Mike McCarthy, backup QB Andy Dalton, WR CeeDee Lamb, DE Everson Griffen, DE Aldon Smith, DT Dontari Poe, S Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, S Trevon Diggs, K Greg Zuerlein, C Tyler Biadasz. Strengths: If Lamb lives up to hype after unexpectedly falling to Cowboys at No. This season will mark 25 years since last time Dallas won multiple playoff games in same year. Roster is built for that playoff run, McCarthy sees no reason why it shouldn't happen in his Cowboys debut, 10 years after winning Super Bowl with Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay. McCarthy probably doesn't have another Rodgers in terms of pure ability, but Prescott is capable of leading postseason run that would probably secure long-term contract he's been trying to get since early 2019.

Perhaps the biggest headlines Brady drew recently came when he defied players' union recommendations to cease informal practices with teammates as a coronavirus precaution. (Chris Urso/Tampa Bay Times via AP, File)In seven weeks, the NFL expects to kick off its 101st season with the Super Bowl champion Chiefs hosting Houston. Still set on conducting a somewhat normal training camp, though without any preseason games, and then opening the regular season on time, the NFL pushes onward. We could have a ton of social distance, more than we have with our football team, Chiefs coach Andy Reid says. Perhaps the biggest headlines Brady drew recently came when he defied players' union recommendations to cease informal practices with teammates as a coronavirus precaution.

DALLAS COWBOYS (8-8)CAMP SITE: Frisco, TexasLAST YEAR: Season with high expectations ended without playoff spot, leading to departure of coach Jason Garrett. Mike McCarthy, Super Bowl winner in Green Bay a decade ago, took over. IMPORTANT ADDITIONS: McCarthy, WR CeeDee Lamb, DT Gerald McCoy, DE Aldon Smith, DT Dontari Poe, S Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, CB Maurice Canady, K Greg Zuerlein. McCarthy won Super Bowl with Aaron Rodgers, but hasn't had chance to get to know Prescott face-to-face. EXPECTATIONS: Cowboys still believe they have roster capable of contending for Super Bowl, but patience might be required based on circumstances.

ARLINGTON, Texas - ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Dak Prescott threw two touchdown passes to Amari Cooper before running for another score, and the Dallas Cowboys pulled out of a first-half funk as huge favorites in a 31-6 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. The rebuilding Dolphins are 0-3 for the first time since losing their first seven in 2011. And while the Cowboys reached 3-0 for the first time since 2008, it took them awhile to find that offensive form. Prescott was 19 of 32 for 246 yards with an interception, and Cooper had six catches for 88 yards. He was a healthy scratch the first two weeks with the Cowboys, who waived him to make room for Quinn.

FRISCO, Texas - The Dallas Cowboys have waived defensive end Taco Charlton, who didn't live up to his billing as a 2017 first-round pick but should get a second chance with another team. The Cowboys made the move Wednesday to clear a roster spot for defensive end Robert Quinn, who was suspended the first two games for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancers. Quinn is set for his Dallas debut Sunday at home against Miami. When Lawrence and Crawford returned to start the regular season, Charlton was a healthy scratch for the first two games. The Cowboys delayed the move as long as they could in hopes of finding a trade partner for Charlton, who had four sacks in two seasons.

OXNARD, Calif. (AP) - Dallas Cowboys defensive end Robert Quinn fractured his left hand in practice at training camp and is expected to miss the rest of the preseason. Quinn sustained the injury during a one-on-one pass rushing drill against star left tackle Tyron Smith on Tuesday. The Cowboys traded for Quinn in the offseason, signing him to an $8 million, one-year deal while sending a sixth-round pick in next year's draft to the Dolphins. DeMarcus Lawrence, who signed a $105 million, five-year deal in the offseason, isn't expected to practice or play in the preseason coming off shoulder surgery. With Randy Gregory suspended indefinitely, Quinn is expected to start at right defensive end opposite Lawrence.
