James Washington Shreds Packers Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver James Washington turned in an excellent preseason game against the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night. The rookie receiver caught five passes for 114 yards and two touchdowns in an impressive performance. Washington caught both of his touchdowns in the second half of the game, with the first score coming on […]

Davante Adams Quiet in Second Preseason Game

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams saw only limited action in his second preseason game. After catching an impressive touchdown in the first game, Adams saw only one target against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday. He converted that target for a 27 yard reception. Green Bay is clearly playing it safe with their number […]

Jimmy Graham Converts in Red Zone in Second Preseason Game

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham may have lost a step or two from his prime in New Orleans, but he is still a dominant red-zone threat. Graham displayed those skills on Thursday, catching a touchdown pass in the red zone from quarterback Aaron Rodgers. It was Rodgers’ first and only action in preseason […]

Aaron Rodgers Makes Brief Preseason Debut

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers made his preseason debut on Thursday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He played in one series that ended in a touchdown. Rodgers was 2-for-4 passing with 35 yards. His lone touchdown pass was to tight end Jimmy Graham in the red zone. Rodgers hasn’t seen much action in the preseason […]

Redskins Second Preseason Game Passing Recap

The Washington Redskins won their second preseason game 15-13 Thursday. Despite Alex Smith only attempting six passes, the Redskins compiled 245 passing yards. The main QB in the game was Colt McCoy who likely further cemented his hold on the backup job over Kevin Hogan. As for the WR, Jamison Crowder did not show up […]

Redskins RB Recap Of Second Preseason Game

The Washington Redskins won their second preseason game Thursday 15-13. Their running game struggled outside of two big runs that accounted for 63 of the 97 yards gained on the ground. Chris Thompson did not play but still is presumed to have his pass-catching role secured barring injury. Rob Kelley rushed 7 times for only […]

Dallas Goedert Hauls in Three Passes on Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert caught three passes on Thursday, gaining 57 yards. One of his catches went for a 28-yard gain. Goedert is stuck behind Zach Ertz on the tight end depth chart, but he should still play a significant role this season and should see meaningful snaps as early as Week 1. […]

Shelton Gibson Scores a Touchdown on Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Shelton Gibson played well on Thursday, scoring a touchdown and catching five passes for 90 yards. Gibson has emerged this preseason, and with Alshon Jeffery still recovering from surgery, Gibson could end up with a significant role at least at the beginning of the season. He's worth a look in the […]

Jay Ajayi Runs for 23 Yards on Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jay Ajayi ran the ball six times on Thursday for a total of 23 yards. His longest gain on the ground was a 10-yard run. He added one catch for 16 yards as well. Ajayi is unlikely to play much in the preseason, and the Eagles may even limit his snaps […]

Nate Sudfeld Plays Well on Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nate Sudfeld played well on Thursday, completing 22 of 39 passes for 312 yards and three touchdowns. With starter Carson Wentz still unsure if he'll be ready for Week 1 and backup Nick Foles going down with a strained shoulder, there's a chance Sudfeld could end up quarterbacking the defending champions for […]

Bryce Treggs Injured Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Bryce Treggs (hamstring) was injured in the preseason game against the Patriots on Thursday. Treggs hurt his left hamstring on a deep attempt down the left sideline. He had two catches for 23 yards before departing on four targets. Treggs also missed the first week of training camp with a knee injury, so […]

James White Making The Most Out Of Playing Time

New England Patriots running back James White put together the complete show Thursday night against the Eagles. White ran four times for 31 yards along with six receptions for 61 yards and a touchdown in the first half. The running back is looking for an increased role this year, however, he has a crowded backfield […]

Richard Rodgers Forced to Leave Thursday's Game

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Richard Rodgers scored a touchdown in Thursday's second preseason game, but was later forced to leave the field due to a knee injury. Rodgers was playing behind starter Zach Ertz and rookie Dallas Goedert and trying to nail down the third spot on the tight end depth chart.

Clive Walford Shows Well In Preseason Loss

New York Jets tight end Clive Walford racked up two receptions for 25 yards, including a 19-yard catch, in Thursday's preseason loss in Washington. He led all of the team's tight ends statistically, really helping his stock. The former standout at the University of Miami and ex-Oakland Raiders pass catcher, was buried on the unofficial […]

Bilal Powell Leads Way For Jets Backfield

New York Jets running back Bilal Powell carried six times for 17 yards in Thursday's preseason loss in Washington, and he added two receptions for 20 yards. He and Thomas Rawls were the first two backs into the game, as Isaiah Crowell (head) was out after suffering a head injury in the preseason opener. Rawls […]

Teddy Bridgewater Continues To Improve His Stock

New York Jets quarterback Teddy Bridgewater completed eight of 13 passes for 101 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Thursday's preseason road game against the Washington Redskins. Bridgewater was sharp at times, including on his 16-yard pass to the corner of the end zone to wide receiver Charone Peake early in the fourth quarter […]

Chris Hogan Proving To Be An End-Zone Threat

New England Patriots wide receiver Chris Hogan continues to be a main target for quarterback Tom Brady in the end zone. Hogan played most of the first half against the Eagles and caught five passes for 25 yards and a touchdown. Hogan proved himself as a real end-zone threat last season when he had five touchdowns […]

Mason Rudolph Shaky In Preseason Start Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph struggled in his preseason start against the Green Bay Packers on Thursday. Playing all of the first half, Rudolph completed just 5-of-12 passes for 47 yards. He did throw a four-yard touchdown to Juju Smith-Schuster but he also threw a pick-six on his very first pass attempt of the game. […]

Sam Darnold Not Nearly As Crisp In Washington

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold started Thursday's preseason road game against the Washington Redskins and he played the entire first half. The rookie completed eight of his 11 pass attempts for 62 yards, no touchdowns and one interception. To be fair, his only miscue was on a tipped pass that probably should have been […]

Jamaal Williams Suffers Ankle Injury

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams (ankle) suffered an ankle injury during the preseason game on Thursday. We'll have to wait to find out the severity of the injury, but this is bad news for the Packers. Williams is the best bet to lead their rushing attack in an early-down role in 2018. He […]

James Conner Runs Well In Second Preseason Game

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner looked excellent in his team's second preseason game of the year. Conner rushed five times for 57 yards against the Green Bay Packers while adding a 26-yard rushing touchdown. The second-year running back has been operating as the team's starting running back with Le'Veon Bell sitting out of training […]

Byron Marshall Injured Thursday

Washington Redskins running back Byron Marshall (leg) is being evaluated for a lower-leg injury in the preseason game on Thursday. When it rains, it pours. Washington lost rookie Derrius Guice (knee) for the season last week and Samaje Perine also sprained his ankle on Thursday. Depending on the severity of these injuries, the 'Skins might […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Scores Again Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Juju Smith-Schuster continued his run of excellent preseason play on Thursday against the Green Bay Packers. Smith-Schuster played for a majority of the first quarter and finished with one catch for four yards and a touchdown, his second consecutive preseason game with a score. The second-year receiver should see more playing […]

Chris Carson Continues To Stand Out

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson, a seventh-round pick in 2017, continues to stand out in training camp. "There's a difference when Chris Carson runs the ball," linebacker Bobby Wagner explained. "He just stands out to me. Every time you watch film, whether it's him out of the backfield or running the ball, he stands […]

Brandon Marshall Has Great Day Thursday

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Brandon Marshall had a great day in practice on Thursday and is looking more and more like a player that could do big things in 2018. Marshall used his size to win in the red zone and made plays all over the field, showing that he still has speed at 34 […]

DeSean Jackson Not Involved In Two-Minute Offense

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson was notably absent from the team's two-minute, end-of-half offense during practice on Thursday. That's not a good sign for the aging deep threat. Jackson was a disappointment last year in his first season in Tampa, and he'll also be without quarterback Jameis Winston for the first three games […]

Ronald Jones II Fumbles Twice In Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie running back Ronald Jones II botched two handoffs in practice on Thursday. It wasn't a good showing, and he also struggled in the preseason opener and suffered from some dropped passes. It's not a great start for the rookie, and Peyton Barber seems locked into an early-down role to open the […]

Nick Foles Suffers Strained Shoulder

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles (shoulder) suffered a right shoulder strain after a strip sack in the preseason game on Thursday. Foles has been beat up with injuries in training camp, and this adds to it. We aren't clear on the exact severity or how long it'll keep Foles out, but it's dicey with starter […]

Josh McCown Will Not Play Thursday

New York Jets quarterback Josh McCown will not play in Thursday's preseason game against the Washington Redskins. Apparently head coach Todd Bowles wants to see a lot more of rookie Sam Darnold, as well as Teddy Bridgewater. It's unlikely the Jets will be able to move the aging McCown, as he is 39 years old […]

Samaje Perine Injures Ankle Thursday

Washington Redskins running back Samaje Perine (ankle) was evaluated for a sprained ankle on his first carry of the preseason game on Thursday. He broke off a 30-yard run on his only run after entering the game after starter Rob Kelley. This is especially bad news after the Redskins lost rookie Derrius Guice (knee) to […]
