Justyn Ross Becoming Legitimate Candidate For Roster Spot

With each training camp practice, Kansas City Chiefs second-year wide receiver Justyn Ross is becoming a more legitimate candidate to earn one of the last roster spots at the position.

Cleveland Browns running backs Nick Chubb and Jerome Ford likely won't receive many, if any offensive snaps in Thursday's Hall of Fame game against the New York Jets.

Saquon Barkley Looking Explosive At Training Camp

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley had a relatively quiet start to training camp, but he was heavily involved in practice on Tuesday and caught a pair of passes that would have been big plays.
