NFL: Meyer: I won’t take USC job

Urban Meyer’s odds of being the first NFL coach fired this season lengthened a bit after he said there is “no chance” he will leave the Jaguars for USC. Meyer opened as the +350 favorite at SportsBetting.ag to be the first coach fired, but those odds soon were at +450. The former Florida and Ohio State coach’s name was mentioned as a potential successor shortly after USC fired Clay Helton on Monday. The co-favorites as first to be fired are now the Bears’ Matt Nagy and the Vikings’ Mike Zimmer (+400).

Browns receiver Odell Beckham Jr., returning from November surgery on a torn left ACL, won’t play Sunday against the Texans, coach Kevin Stefanski said.

Raiders defensive tackle Gerald McCoy will miss the rest of the season due to a knee injury he sustained in the second half of Monday night’s win over the Ravens, NFL Network reported.

Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence broke a foot in practice and likely will be out at least six weeks, two sources said. Dallas assistant defensive line coach Leon Lett was carted off the practice field with what multiple reports said was a right leg injury. It wasn’t immediately clear what caused the injury.
