Latest NFL News & Rumors: Tuesday, November 8

The Raiders tried to trade Abram but found no takers, leading to today’s decision to waive him.
The No. 27 overall pick in the 2019 draft has earned a 49.5 PFF grade this season and recently lost the starting job to veteran Duron Harmon.
Abram logged over 850 snaps in 2020 and 2021 after missing almost his entire rookie season. His 56.9 grade in 2021 was a career-best by a good margin.
Abram is now the fourth first-round pick made by Jon Gruden/Mike Mayock to be released by the Raiders in recent months, joining Alex Leatherwood, Henry Ruggs and Damon Arnette.

Watt, the NFL's reigning Defensive Player of the Year, suffered a pectoral injury in Week 1 and has not played since. The injury was not deemed season-ending and he’s been able to rehab without surgery. Pittsburgh designated him to return last week.
Without Watt, the Steelers have struggled to generate pressure and have just eight sacks in the seven games without him. Their 62.7 pass-rushing grade is bottom-five in the league.
Pittsburgh (+2.5) will host the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.

Beckham is expected to be medically cleared later this week, and the Cowboys have been mentioned as a team that would have interest.
Speaking on 105.3 The Fan on Tuesday, Jones said Beckham “is someone we have all the appreciation in the world for what he is as a competitor and know that the Cowboys star on the helmet when he puts it on could look pretty good.”
The Cowboys are coming off their bye and have a 6-2 record on the season. They discussed acquiring Brandin Cooks before the trade deadline but a deal never came to fruition.

Golladay has not been active since Week 4 due to a knee injury. He wasn’t getting much playing time when he was healthy, playing just 99 snaps and catching two passes for 22 yards. His PFF grade was 51.7.
The Giants, under then-GM Dave Gettleman, signed Golladay to a big four-year, $72 million contract in 2021. He struggled in his first year, catching 37 passes for 521 yards and no touchdowns. He earned a 68.3 PFF grade, the lowest since his rookie season.
The Giants (-6.5) are coming off their bye week and will host the Houston Texans on Sunday.

The Cincinnati Bengals–Pittsburgh Steelers matchup in Week 11 has been flexed out of Sunday Night Football and will be replaced with the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers.
Pittsburgh and Cincinnati will now be played at 4:25 ET on CBS.
