Tyler Eifert Will Be Babied

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis doesn't expect tight end Tyler Eifert to be on the field for too many snaps this year.

Quincy Enunwa Returns To Practice

New York Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa (thumb) was in pads over the weekend. A neck injury sidelined Enunwa for all of last season, but he was the team's top receiver in 2016 and could return to a prominent role alongside Robby Anderson if he can stay healthy in 2018. Don't expect him to match […]

Corey Grant Growing Into Bigger Role

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Corey Grant has been featured so far in the preseason and his speed has impressed since he arrived as an undrafted free agent in 2015. Grant had 122 yards in the Week 17 finale in 2016. His role has expanded on special teams, and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett is likely to […]

Colts Sign Tion Green to Bolster RB Core

The Indianapolis Colts signed free-agent running back Tion Green on Tuesday. The move to sign Green is largely intended to bolster an ailing Colts running back group, as Marlon Mack and Branden Oliver are both currently hobbled by injuries. Green played in five games with the Detroit Lions as a rookie back in 2017 and […]

Dede Westbrook May Earn Starting Role

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook might be playing his way into a starting role going into his second season. Westbrook finished the year off strong in his rookie season but came into training camp having to battle for significant playing time in a loaded receiver room. A day has rarely gone by in camp […]

Chandler Catanzaro Moving Past Missed Kicks

Buccaneers kicker Chandler Catanzaro missed an extra point and a field goal in the Bucs' preseason opener but has reportedly "moved on" from it. He watched the game tape a few days ago and noticed where the attempts when awry and will do everything to correct it going forward. Tampa Bay has had notable issues […]

Cameron Meredith Dealing With Ailment

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Cameron Meredith is dealing with an undisclosed injury that doesn't appear to be related to his surgically-repaired knee. The good news is that it's not related to the knee injury that kept him out all of last season. The bad news is he's sidelined in training camp and losing valuable […]

Derek Carr In Command Of Offense

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr looks to be in real command of new head coach John Gruden's offense in training camp. He has been vocal before the snap and at the line of scrimmage and is directing traffic to a degree that he hasn't before. It all sounds great, but we want to see this […]

Matt Bryant To Test Injury Wednesday

Atlanta Falcons place kicker Matt Bryant will test an undisclosed injury on Wednesday before the team decides if he will be available for the second preseason game against the Chiefs on Friday.

Rico Gathers Remains Fourth On Depth Chart

Dallas Cowboys tight end Rico Gathers remains fourth on the tight end depth chart behind Geoff Swaim, Blake Jarwin and rookie Dalton Schultz despite making a highlight-reel, one-handed catch in practice on Sunday. The 6-foot-8, 280-pounder missed all of last year recovering from a concussion in training camp. He'll need to improve his blocking and […]

Akrum Wadley Challenging For No. 3 Job

Tennessee Titans rookie running back Akrum Wadley has been challenging David Fluellen for the No. 3 running back job in training camp. The rookie has shown good hands, good footwork and good speed.

Kalen Ballage, MarQuies Gray Unlikely To Play Friday

Miami Dolphins rookie running back Kalen Ballage (head) and tight end MarQueis Gray (head) are both in the concussion protocol and are not practicing on Tuesday.

Geronimo Allison Establishing Himself As No. 3 Receiver

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison caught a touchdown pass from quarterback Aaron Rodgers in red-zone drills on Monday and continues to establish himself as the No. 3 receiver behind Davante Adams and Randall Cobb.

Carson Wentz Needs 11-On-11 Work Before Being Cleared

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said quarterback Carson Wentz (knee) will likely need a week of 11-on-11 drills before he'll be cleared to play in Week 1. Wentz opened training camp doing 11-on-11 work but has been backed off since as the team plays it cautious with him. As long as Wentz doesn't suffer […]

Nick O'Leary On The Roster Bubble

Buffalo Bills tight end Nick O'Leary appears to be on the roster bubble with Logan Thomas, Jason Croom and Khari Lee making noticeable strides behind Charles Clay. Thomas and Croom need to work on their blocking, while Lee and Keith Towbridge must improve their pass catching. The Bills are aiming higher than O'Leary this year […]

Rams Could Feature Tyler Higbee More

The Los Angeles Rams are looking to get their tight ends more involved in the offense in 2018, and tight end Tyler Higbee could benefit going into his third season. “Definitely we want to feature him more and get him a little more involved,” quarterback Jared Goff said after Monday’s practice at UC Irvine. “If […]

Ben Roethlisberger May Be Evaluated For Concussion

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger may have suffered a concussion during practice on Tuesday. The veteran quarterback went down on a play in practice and appeared fall on his head.

Eric Decker Off To Rough Start With Patriots

New England Patriots wide receiver Eric Decker dropped the first pass he received from quarterback Tom Brady in 11-on-11 drills last week, dropped two more passes Sunday and dropped three passes in practice on Monday.

Stefon Diggs Back At Practice on Tuesday After Day Off

Minnesota Vikings star wide receiver Stefon Diggs is back at practice Tuesday after getting a breather on Monday afternoon.

Seattle Seahawks running back C.J. Prosise (hip) missed practice for the second straight day on Monday, but head coach Pete Carroll said that Prosise has a chance to return to practice on Wednesday and has a chance to play in the second preseason game against the Chargers this Saturday. It always seems to be some […]

Sebastian Janikowski, Jason Myers Battling For Kicking Job

Seattle Seahawks veteran place kicker Sebastian Janikowski made all five of his field goal tries, including a 53-yarder, during a scrimmage on Monday. Meanwhile, Jason Myers missed two of his four tries, with his misses coming from 33 and 43 yards. Janikowski certainly has the experience factor in his favor and could be leading the […]

Amara Darboh Does Some Running

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Amara Darboh (hip), who has been out more than a week with a hip flexor injury, was running at what looked to be close to full speed at practice on Monday. Darboh looks to be making progress. He had just 13 targets in 16 games as a rookie last year but […]

Nick Vannett Taking Advantage Of Ed Dickson's Injury

Seattle Seahawks tight end Nick Vannett has been standing out in training camp with Ed Dickson (quadriceps) still out with an injury.

Head coach Mike Tomlin would not guarantee whether the team's longtime backup would have a roster spot after final cuts. When asked, Tomlin stated, "We'll see where the road ends." Landry could end up getting squeezed off the roster […]

Nelson Agholor Hampered by a Lower-Body Injury

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor is dealing with a lower-body injury, which has kept him out of a few practices. Coach Doug Pederson did not seem to imply the injury was very serious, so it is likely the Eagles are just being cautious with Agholor. With Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) looking questionable for Week 1, […]

Alshon Jeffery's Status Remains Unclear

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said he did not know where the rumors that wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) would start the season on the Physically Unable to Perform list originated.

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said quarterbacks Ben Roethlisberger and Landry Jones, wide receiver Antonio Brown (hip) and defensive lineman Cameron Heyward will not play in the preseason game this Thursday against the Packers.

Nick Foles To Play Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said quarterback Nick Foles (neck) will play against the Patriots in the second preseason game on Thursday. Foles sat out the preseason opener due to neck spasms. The backup quarterback filled in more than admirably when Carson Wentz went down with a season-ending knee injury last year and carried […]
