Will Parks Out 4-6 Weeks

Philadelphia Eagles defensive back Will Parks (hamstring) suffered a hamstring injury that is expected to keep him out for four to six weeks, according to a source.

Kyler Murray Should Be More Efficient In Second Season

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray and the offense have been practicing at warp speed in training camp.

Gunner Olszewski Making The Leap, Mohamed Sanu Quiet

Troy Pride Could Earn Starting Snaps For Panthers Defense

Carolina Panthers rookie cornerback Troy Pride showed out in practice on Friday with multiple pass breakups while also helping to force an interception.

The Panthers […]

The New York Jets are acquiring running back Kalen Ballage from the Dolphins on Thursday for a conditional late-round pick, according to a source.
