Washington Football Team rookie defensive end Chase Young (hip) said his hip flexor injury is close to 100 percent. Young, the No. 2 overall pick in the draft, spoke to reporters on Tuesday after his second straight day of practice. Washington is being extremely cautious with their first-round pass-rusher early in training camp. Before the […]

Mike Williams To Miss 2-4 Weeks

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (shoulder) is expected to miss two to four weeks with a shoulder injury, according to an informed source. Williams was initially listed as week-to-week with his shoulder sprain. It means that the big-bodied receiver could be forced to sit out the start of the regular season. It's bad […]

Joe Burrow Has Full Grasp Of Offense

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that rookie quarterback Joe Burrow has "full grasp of our offense." Burrow won the starting job before his first training camp practice, and his work the past few weeks in camp has reaffirmed the club's decision. The former LSU star is working hard and is already taking a […]

Packers Very Confident In Tim Boyle

Green Bay Packers quarterback Tim Boyle has really impressed the team during training camp and appears to have a leg up as Aaron Rodgers' backup over first-rounder Jordan Love. "He’s proven himself day-in and day-out. Glad we have him. Again, with Aaron back there, you hope you never have to go that route. But if […]

Marcus Mariota Hasn't Looked Good In Practice

Three Las Vegas Raiders beat writers noted that quarterback Marcus Mariota had a poor week of practice in training camp. Head coach Jon Gruden's offense is a complicated system to pick up quickly, so perhaps that's part of the reason. It's good news for incumbent Derek Carr, but he'll still be on a short leash […]

Josh Norman To Miss Time With Hamstring Injury

Buffalo Bills cornerback Josh Norman (hamstring) doesn't have a timetable to return to practice after suffering a left hamstring injury last week, according to head coach Sean McDermott. The aging former Pro Bowler isn't off to a good start with his new team after spending the past few seasons in Washington. Norman's play really declined […]

Frank Gore Impressing At Jets Camp

New York Jets veteran running back Frank Gore has been extremely impressive at training camp so far. "The most impressive running back at Jets camp is Frank Gore. I don't think it's really close, either," The Athletic's Connor Hughes said. The 37-year-old continues to defy all expectations as he nears the end of his career. […]

Brian Hill Appears To Be No. 2 Behind Todd Gurley

Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Hill appears to be the clear No. 2 behind Todd Gurley II in training camp. If Gurley struggles or deals with health issues in his first year in Atlanta, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Hill enjoy some lead-back moments. The 24-year-old had 78 carries for 323 yards and […]

49ers Working Out Kevin White, Other Receivers

The San Francisco 49ers are having receiver workouts on Tuesday with free-agent wide receivers Kevin White, Johnny Holton, River Cracraft and Justin Hardy.

Chad Henne Wins Backup Job

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Chad Henne has officially locked up the backup duties to Patrick Mahomes, with Matt Moore an option for one of the newly created veteran spots on the practice squad. Jordan Ta'amu is the other QB on KC's current roster. Henne will again hold the clipboard for the best quarterback in the […]

Darrel Williams The Clear No. 2 Back

Kansas City Chiefs running back Darrel Williams is the clear No. 2 running back behind rookie Clyde Edwards-Helaire after two weeks of practices. Damien Williams' decision to opt out of the 2020 season due to COVID-19 has elevated Darrel Williams' fantasy stock considerably. Edwards-Helaire should see the lion's share of backfield work in this explosive […]

Saints Defense Looking Good

The New Orleans Saints Defense has looked good early in training camp, specifically their sneaky deep defensive line. The Saints also have one of their best secondaries in recent memory, which includes a breakout candidate in Chauncey Gardner-Johnson. Ceedy Duce has made a lot of plays in practice, including when quarterback Drew Brees has been […]

Trent Williams Seems To Be In Elite Form

San Francisco 49ers left tackle Trent Williams has been giving pass-rusher Nick Bosa fits in practice during training camp. San Francisco's acquisition of the All-Pro Williams could prove to be one of the best offseason transactions if Williams can stay healthy. The 32-year-old is replacing the retired Joe Staley on the left side of the […]

Eagles Re-Engage Zach Ertz In Contract Talks

The Philadelphia Eagles have re-engaged on contract talks with tight end Zach Ertz. The timing makes sense after two stars (George Kittle, Travis Kelce) at the position recently got paid. Ertz's stats put him on a historic pace, as he has more yards (5,743) and catches (525) than Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez had through […]

Cowboys Not Expected To Pursue Earl Thomas

Although the Dallas Cowboys made some inquiries on free-agent Pro Bowl safety Earl Thomas after he was released by the Ravens on Sunday, they are not expected to be among the teams vying for his services, sources say. Many assumed the Cowboys would be a favorite for Thomas since he's from Texas and played his […]

Damon Arnette Trending Up As A Starter

Las Vegas Raiders cornerback Damon Arnette, who was a surprising first-round selection at 19th overall, is reportedly winning the fight to start over Prince Amukamara opposite Trayvon Mullen to open the 2020 season. Arnette was a four-year player for Ohio State and has good ball skills in the secondary. He's a good athlete but can […]

DeShon Elliott To Become Starter In Secondary

Baltimore Ravens third-year pro defensive back DeShon Elliott will take over as a starting free safety after the release of Pro Bowl safety Earl Thomas last Sunday. Elliott was a sixth-round pick by the Ravens in 2018. The 23-year-old from Texas played in only six games (no starts) and had six solo tackles and one […]

Bills Hold Workout With Darron Lee

The Buffalo Bills held a workout with free-agent linebacker Darron Lee. The 25-year-old was drafted in the first round (20th overall) by the Jets in 2016 and spent three seasons with them before starting in two games for the Chiefs last year. He had 31 combined tackles in his time with KC last year and […]

Shaq Thompson Says He's 100 Percent

Carolina Panthers linebacker Shaq Thompson (groin) said he's 100 percent with his groin after sitting out of last Thursday's practice. Thompson returned to practice on Friday and took part in drills. In a roster move for Carolina on Monday, the team waived running back Jordan Scarlett. Thompson had a career year in 2019, registering a […]

Tyreek Hill Limited At Practice Monday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (hamstring) was limited at practice on Monday. Hill, who has been dealing with a minor hamstring injury, participated in individual drills in his return to practice. Unless the speedy wideout suffers a serious setback, he should be completely ready for Week 1 against the Texans. The 26-year-old is […]

Melvin Gordon III Returns To Practice

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III (rib) returned to practice on Monday after missing Friday's training camp practice with a rib injury. Head coach Vic Fangio also told reporters on Monday that linebacker Justin Strnad (wrist) is out for the season after undergoing surgery on his dislocated wrist. Gordon's minor injury, his slow acclimation […]

Grant Delpit Suffers Torn Achilles

Cleveland Browns rookie safety Grant Delpit (Achilles) suffered a torn Achilles in practice on Monday, an MRI exam confirmed. Cleveland's initial fears became a reality after the second-round pick underwent testing Monday. Delpit will now miss his entire rookie season. It's a blow to the team's secondary, as the former star defensive back at LSU […]

Patriots Re-Sign Nick Folk

The New England Patriots re-signed veteran kicker Nick Folk on Monday and also signed rookie defensive lineman Michael Barnett. Rookie kicker Justin Rohrwasser has struggled in training camp, so the Pats are bringing in Folk to create some competition. The 35-year-old Folk made 14 of his 17 field-goal attempts in seven games for New England […]

Phillip Dorsett II Dealing With Sore Foot

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that wide receiver Phillip Dorsett II (foot) has a sore foot and would not practice on Monday. It doesn't sound like a serious injury, but it bears watching over the coming days. Dorsett could make some noise as a speedy deep threat in Seattle's offense this year, but […]

Lamar Jackson Back At Practice Monday

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (groin) returned to practice on Monday after sitting out of training camp as a precaution the previous two days due to a groin strain. "He was back. He looked good. He had a good practice. We're moving forward, like I've said," head coach John Harbaugh said. It was never considered […]

Chase Young Doing Individual Drills

Washington Football Team rookie defensive end Chase Young (hip) was back doing individual drills at practice on Monday. The No. 2 overall pick of the draft this year has been bothered by a hip flexor injury early in camp, but the team is being cautious with their first-round pick. The former Ohio State star has […]

Erik Swoope Signing With 49ers

Former Colts tight end Erik Swoope is signing with the San Francisco 49ers on Monday, according to a source. It's just a depth signing, as Swoope will be buried on the depth chart behind George Kittle, Jordan Reed and Ross Dwelley. The 28-year-old didn't play at all in 2019 and recorded just 23 receptions on […]

Leonard Williams In Line To Bounce Back?

New York Giants new defensive line coach Sean Spencer has high hopes for defensive end Leonard Williams in 2020 in his first full season with the team. Spencer thinks the 26-year-old former Pro Bowler is a "tremendous athlete." "I think he's starting to put it all together," Spencer said. "He's always had the tools. He's […]
