While Parker should […]

Broncos Likely To Play It Safe With Von Miller

Denver Broncos outside linebacker Von Miller (ankle), who is listed as questionable with an ankle injury, didn't practice all week.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski (ribs) is considered a game-time decision on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints after missing the last four games.

It would surprise many close to the situation if Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (calf) starts on Sunday night against the Minnesota Vikings.

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that he hopes to get running back Rashaad Penny more involved in Week 8 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Seahawks Unsure If Chris Carson Will Return This Year

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (neck) will miss his fourth straight game in Week 8 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and head coach Pete Carroll said there is no timeline for when Carson will return.
