Another Full Practice For Emmanuel Sanders

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (knee) put in his second straight full practice of the week on Wednesday.

Jalen Hurts Practicing In Full

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (ankle) was able to get in a full practice on Wednesday.

Ben Roethlisberger Limited In Practice Wednesday

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (pectoral, shoulder) was a limited practice participant on Wednesday.

There's a reason […]
