Buffalo Bills wide receiver Corey Coleman is primed and ready for a big year with the Buffalo Bills.

Kalen Ballage Kicked Out of Huddle by Ryan Tannehill in Practice Sunday

Miami Dolphins rookie running back Kalen Ballage was kicked out of the huddle by quarterback Ryan Tannehill on Sunday. Tannehill also berated Ballage after the incident to press the issue.

Josh Rosen Plays Like A Rookie In First Preseason Game

Arizona Cardinals rookie quarterback Josh Rosen had a pretty poor first preseason game. With 6/13 passes completed for 41 yards, Rosen played as a rookie quarterback would be expected to play in their first involvement of the season.

Sam Bradford Plays One Drive In Preseason Game

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Sam Bradford only played one drive for the Cardinals in their preseason victory against the Chargers and completed one pass for six yards. Given his fragility, expect Bradford to not feature heavily except for perhaps the third preseason game.

Roc Thomas Shines in Preseason Opener

Minnesota Vikings rookie running back Roc Thomas was an offensive dynamo in the team's first preseason game.

Washington Redskis defensive lineman Matt Ioannidis (knee) is considered week-to-week with his knee injury. He has a sprained ankle and knee. His coach jokes that “he’s a nut job” and "might try to come back right away". Ioannidis is an important piece of a Redskins defensive line that will need to force pressure on the […]

Dante Fowler Removed From PUP List

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Dante Fowler (shoulder) was taken off the team's Physically Unable to Perform list, where he had been since training camp opened in July.

Redskins Not Planning To Add Another Running Back

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said the team isn't planning to add another running back after rookie Derrius Guice's (knee) season-ending injury. “We have guys here that can play.

Antonio Brown Returns To Practice

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown (quadriceps) returned to practice on Saturday after missing practices last week and the team's first preseason game.

Christian McCaffrey Impresses In Preseason Opener

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey looked electric in the Panthers opening preseason game against the Buffalo Bills. He carried for 11 yards on four attempts, including a powerful goal-line touchdown, although he also fumbled the ball. McCaffrey also showcased his pass-catching ability, hauling in two receptions for 29 yards. McCaffrey certainly looks as though […]

Deonte Thompson Could Win Final Roster Spot

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Deonte Thompson has a slight advantage for one of the final roster spots. The Cowboys are expected to keep just six receivers, with Allen Hurns, Cole Beasley, Tavon Austin, Terrance Williams and rookie Michael Gallup all virtual locks. Thompson will still need a strong finish to training camp, but he's missed […]

Nick Foles Will Be Limited Saturday

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said that quarterback Nick Foles (neck), will practice on a limited basis on Saturday.

Detroit Lions running back Ameer Abdullah toted four carries for 16 yards in the preseason opening loss to the Oakland Raiders.

Bilal Powell Has Irrelevant Showing Vs. Falcons

New York Jets running back Bilal Powell carried his mediocre 2017 performance into Friday's preseason matchup with the Falcons.

Powell has shown value when given […]

Teddy Bridgewater's Stock On The Rise

New York Jets quarterback Teddy Bridgewater couldn't have looked better in his limited showing in Friday's preseason matchup.

Matt Ioannidis Will "Miss A Little Time"

Washington Redskins defensive lineman Matt Ioannidis (knee) is reportedly going to miss some time. The report also says that he should be ready for the start of the season.

Devonta Freeman Held Out Of First Preseason Game

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman was inactive for the first preseason game on Friday. Freeman's inactivity in not thought to be due to injury and is instead a team decision.
