Buffalo Bills wide receiver Terrelle Pryor has learned the offense quickly and could have an Andre Holmes-type role in the offense in Week 9 against the Bears in his debut with the team.

Browns Tailoring Offense To Baker Mayfield's Strengths

New Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator Freddie Kitchens is expected to implement more components of rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield's spread offense in college, according to interim head coach Gregg Williams.

The Los Angeles Dodgers extended a $17.9 million qualifying offer to free-agent starting pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu, meaning they'll receive draft-pick compensation if he signs with another team this winter.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison (groin, hamstring) is now doubtful for Sunday night against the Patriots after suffering a groin injury in practice on Thursday.
