Julio Jones, Russell Gage Limited Tuesday

Atlanta Falcons wide receivers Julio Jones (hip) and Russell Gage (knee) were both limited in practice on Tuesday.

The All-Pro wideout missed the Week 5 […]

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus made his lone field-goal try from 43 yards out in the 43-16 blowout loss to the Chiefs on Sunday in the snow.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette (ankle) is "good to go" for Week 7 against the Raiders, according to head coach Bruce Arians.
