Vikings Release N'Keal Harry

The Minnesota Vikings released former New England Patriots first-round wide receiver N'Keal Harry on Thursday.

Anthony Richardson To Start In Preseason Finale

Unlike last week, the Indianapolis Colts will play first-round quarterback Anthony Richardson in the preseason finale against the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday night.

Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters on Thursday that the plan is to play quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and the starters "more than a series but less than a half" in the preseason finale against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Saturday.

Tyquan Thornton Misses Practice Wednesday

New England Patriots wide receiver Tyquan Thornton missed training camp practice on Wednesday with an undisclosed issue.

Chris Jones Willing To Hold Out Into Regular Season?

Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones hinted on social media that he's willing to continue his holdout until Week 8 of the regular season because he "can afford it."

Juwan Johnson Has Been A Favorite Target Of Derek Carr

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson, who led the team's pass-catchers with seven touchdowns in 2022, has become one of quarterback Derek Carr's most reliable targets during training camp.
