Adrian Peterson Agrees To Join Redskins
The Washington Redskins signed free-agent running back Adrian Peterson (Cardinals) on Monday, adding a much-needed boost to their beleaguered backfield after losing rookie Derrius Guice (knee) to a season-ending injury in early August.

Joe Mixon Needs Help From Offensive Line
Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon has managed just 17 rushing yards on seven attempts, or 2.4 yards per rush, through two preseason games.

Jon Brown Apparently Auditioning For Other Teams
Cincinnati Bengals place kicker Jon Brown connected on a 55-yard field goal in Saturday's preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys.

Terrelle Pryor Makes Return To The Practice Field
New York Jets wide receiver Terrelle Pryor (ankle) was able to return to the practice field Saturday. He has been taking it slow in his return from a broken ankle suffered back in May.

Quincy Enunwa Works In Team Drills
New York Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa (thumb) worked in team drills on Saturday for the first time since suffering his injury. He reportedly looked good and did not have any setbacks.

Sam Darnold Not Nearly As Crisp In Washington
New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold started Thursday's preseason road game against the Washington Redskins and he played the entire first half. The rookie completed eight of his 11 pass attempts for 62 yards, no touchdowns and one interception. To be fair, his only miscue was on a tipped pass that probably should have been... Read More
Josh McCown Will Not Play Thursday
New York Jets quarterback Josh McCown will not play in Thursday's preseason game against the Washington Redskins. Apparently head coach Todd Bowles wants to see a lot more of rookie Sam Darnold, as well as Teddy Bridgewater. It's unlikely the Jets will be able to move the aging McCown, as he is 39 years old... Read More
Trenton Cannon Behind In Returner Competition
New York Jets running back Trenton Cannon (ankle, foot) was inactive for Thursday's preseason game against the Washington Redskins.

Teddy Bridgewater Might Be A Nice Trade Chip
New York Jets quarterback Teddy Bridgewater was sharp in his first preseason appearance and the club currently has three starting-caliber signal callers on the roster.
