Seattle Seahawks linebacker Mychal Kendricks, who is suspended indefinitely for insider trading, is fighting his suspension.

Free-agent quarterback Landry Jones, who has been busy working out for teams such as the Bills, Cowboys, Lions and Jaguars, is likely to land a job soon, according to a source.

He is expected to be a mentor to rookie Josh Allen. Anderson would likely be an upgrade over current backup Nathan Peterman, but Anderson won't have […]

Saints Release Mike Gillislee

The New Orleans Saints released running back Mike Gillislee on Saturday. Gillislee had 16 carries for 43 yards in four games for the Saints, but he was expendable with Mark Ingram returning from his four-game suspension.

Green Bay Packers president Mark Murphy is downplaying a potential rift between quarterback Aaron Rodgers and head coach Mike McCarthy. "We've seen this before," Murphy told NFL Network this week.

Leonard Fournette Could Miss Week 6

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring), who is out for Week 5, could also miss next week's game.

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) is a long shot to play in Week 5 against the Eagles.

Keke Coutee Is A Game-Time Decision

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Keke Coutee (hamstring) will be a legitimate game-time decision on Sunday night against the Cowboys. If he plays, he'll be playing through pain.

Will Fuller Expected To Play Against Cowboys

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller (hamstring), who is questionable for Sunday night, is expected to play against the Cowboys.

Joe Mixon Might Not Be Every-Down Player Against Dolphins

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (knee), who is returning from a two-week absence, isn't expected to be an every-down player in Week 5 against the Dolphins.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (quadriceps) and defensive end Andre Branch (knee) are both inactive for Week 5 against the Bengals.

Damarious Randall Active For Browns

Cleveland Browns cornerback Damarious Randall (heel) is active for Week 5 against the Ravens.

Hayden Hurst Making NFL Debut In Week 5

Baltimore Ravens rookie tight end Hayden Hurst (foot) will be active for the first time this season in Week 5 against the Browns. While Hurst has the most pass-catching upside of Baltimore's tight end committee that also includes Nick Boyle, Maxx Williams and rookie Mark Andrews, expect the Ravens to ease Hurst into the rotation.
