Green Bay Packers rookie fourth-round wide receiver Romeo Doubs has looked NFL-ready early in training camp.

Baker Mayfield Doesn't Impress Thursday

Carolina Panthers quarterback Baker Mayfield made some poor decisions on the field while taking first-team repetitions at training camp practice on Thursday.

Head coach Matt Rhule will continue flip-flopping […]

Miles Sanders Working With Second-Team Offense

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders is getting carries with the second-team offense in training camp practice on Friday.
