Miles Sanders Looking To Be More Consistent

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders is searching for more consistency heading into the 2022 season, as he's had his fair share of injuries over the last two years.

Jerry Jeudy Says He's Healthy

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (groin), who missed a part of organized team activities with a strained groin, said he's healthy ahead of training camp at the end of July.

Duke Johnson Competing With Zack Moss

Buffalo Bills running back Duke Johnson's roster security likely depends on how Zack Moss plays this summer at training camp, but Johnson's experience and relative success in the NFL could help him stick if Moss falters.

Taiwan Jones On The Bubble

Zack Moss Could Be A Trade Candidate

Buffalo Bills running back Zack Moss had a chance to take control of the backfield last year, but instead he allowed Devin Singletary to become the lead back.

Bills Firmly Behind Devin Singletary

Mookie Betts Could Return Early Next Week

Los Angeles Dodgers skipper Dave Roberts said "early next week is certainly a possibility" for outfielder Mookie Betts (ribs) to return from the injured list.
