Ezekiel Elliott Could Be Gone In 2023

The Athletic's Bob Sturm expects the 2022 season to be running back Ezekiel Elliott's last with the Dallas Cowboys.

Alec Pierce's Confidence Growing

The Indianapolis Colts seem unlikely to sign a veteran wide receiver before the regular season, mainly based on the rate of growth from rookie receiver Alec Pierce.

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride (back) has been cleared to play in the second preseason game. The second-round pick missed nearly two weeks of action due to a back issue.

Falcons Sign KeeSean Johnson

The Atlanta Falcons signed former Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers wide receiver KeeSean Johnson to an undisclosed deal on Wednesday.

[…]
