Browns Cut Jeff Janis

The Cleveland Browns cut wide receiver Jeff Janis on Friday. Janis wasn't expected to make the final 53-man roster, so this doesn't come as much of a surprise. The 27-year-old had only 17 catches for 200 yards and one touchdown in his four seasons with the Packers.

Malik Williams Heading For Second Opinion

Atlanta Falcons running back Malik Williams will seek a second opinion on his injured shoulder. Williams left the Falcons final preseason game against the Dolphins in the third quarter, and did not return to the game. The fact that Williams is seeking a second opinion is extremely concerning. It now looks possible that he will […]

49ers Waive Joe Williams

The San Francisco 49ers are waiving running back Joe Williams on Friday, according to a source. Head coach Kyle Shanahan was a big proponent of Williams and convinced the team's brass to take him in the fourth round last season. Williams just hasn't panned out, mostly because of injuries. Jerick McKinnon and Matt Breida will […]

Josh Gordon To Practice Monday

Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson said that wide receiver Josh Gordon (hamstring) will return to practice on Monday after missing the entire preseason. Jackson said Gordon will "get into the route-running" aspect of practice. Gordon reported late to training camp while tending to personal issues relating to his well-being, but he's with the team […]

Lions Backup Quarterback Still A Major Question

Detroit Lions quarterback Jake Rudock started the final preseason game Thursday night against the Cleveland Browns. He finished 14 of 24 for 114 yards and a touchdown. His first four drives resulted in a punt, leading the team to insert Matt Cassel into the game. Cassel then tossed an interception that was returned for a […]

Hakeem Valles Has One Reception Against Browns

Detroit Lions tight end Hakeem Valles had one reception on four targets for five yards during Thursday night's game against the Cleveland Browns. Valles has been having quite a camp and has made a case to make the team's 53-man roster. He has been given the most opportunities of the Lions tight end group this […]

Mike Glennon Makes Roster As Third QB

Updating a previous report, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Mike Glennon will remain on the 53-man roster as the third quarterback behind Sam Bradford and rookie Josh Rosen, according to sources. Glennon was a potential trade candidate, but the Cardinals would rather have him as insurance behind the injury-prone Bradford and the rookie Rosen. Glennon was a […]

Texans Cut Braxton Miller

The Houston Texans have cut wide receiver Braxton Miller. With six receivers vying for five spots, the team had a tough choice to make, ultimately choosing to part ways with Miller, a former college quarterback who had struggled at times to make the adjustment to wide receiver in the NFL. The Texans reportedly explored trade […]

Jaydon Mickens Makes Final Roster

According to First Coast News reporter Mike Kaye, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jaydon Mickens has made the team's final roster. After Marqise Lee's season-ending knee injury, the battle for the fifth receiver spot heated up, with Mickens beating out a host of other options due to his versatility and abilities as a return man. Mickens […]

Nick Rose Cut By Texans

The Houston Texans cut place kicker Nick Rose on Friday, according to a source. That means that Ka'imi Fairbairn will be the team's kicker heading into the 2018 season. Fairbairn made 20 of his 25 field goal attempts in his rookie season for the Texans, also going 3-for-4 from 50-plus yards. While Houston's offense is […]

Paxton Lynch On Outside Looking In

Despite playing his best preseason game on Thursday against the Cardinals, Denver Broncos quarterback Paxton Lynch is on the outside looking in as the No. 3 QB behind Chad Kelly and Case Keenum. The former-first round pick is a candidate to be cut, but a team could also elect to trade for him if they […]

Joshua Dobbs Shines In Preseason Finale

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Joshua Dobbs boosted his trade value in the preseason finale against the Panthers on Thursday. NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport reported that Dobbs is one of the quarterbacks that has "generated interest" around the league, and he could be dealt in the next 24 hours. He was eight of 12 passing for […]

Texans Waive Stephen Anderson

The Houston Texans have waived tight end Stephen Anderson. Anderson, a popular waiver add during the latter stages of the 2017 season after he caught five balls for 79 yards and a touchdown against the Titans, came into camp as one of the team's top tight ends, but the emergence of rookies Jordan Akins and […]

Taylor Heinicke Appears To Be Top Backup In Charlotte

Carolina Panthers quarterback Taylor Heinicke appears to have won the primary backup job behind starter Cam Newton. There were rumors earlier in the preseason that the team might be interested in reuniting offensive coordinator Norv Turner and former Minnesota Vikings, now current New Orleans Saints, QB Teddy Bridgewater. However, Heinicke, who also worked under Turner […]

Nick Vannett Expected To Be Team's Starting Tight End

Seattle Seahawks tight end Nick Vannett is expected to open the season as the team's starter with rookie Will Dissly serving as the No. 2 tight end. With veteran Ed Dickson (quadriceps, groin) unable to practice for the entire preseason, it wasn't much of a race for Vannett. He knows the offensive system well, and […]

Eagles Release Christian Hackenberg

The Philadelphia Eagles have released quarterback Christian Hackenberg, according to a source. Hackenberg was a disaster in the preseason finale against the Jets on Thursday, going 7-for-16 for 69 yards, two interceptions and two sacks in seven drives. The Jets former second-round pick has looked overwhelmed by the NFL game ever since he came into […]

Ed Dickson Likely To Begin On PUP List

Seattle Seahawks tight end Ed Dickson (quadriceps) is likely to be placed on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list to start the regular season. He was unable to practice or play during the entire preseason due to quadriceps and groin injuries, according to head coach Pete Carroll. It's also possible Dickson begins on the […]

Jason Sanders Has Won Kicking Job

Miami Dolphins place kicker Jason Sanders has won the kicking job after the team released rookie Greg Joseph, according to a source. Sanders is also a rookie and will be kicking for an offense that may struggle to move the ball with Devante Parker injured and Jarvis Landry, the NFL's leading pass catcher in 2017, […]

J.J. Nelson Could Be On Outside Looking In

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver J.J. Nelson could be one of the team's roster casualties as the team cuts down to 53 players. The team is expected to keep three quarterbacks on the roster, and it's possible they might keep just six receivers on the roster. WRs Larry Fitzgerald, Christian Kirk and Chad Williams were rested […]

Dion Sims In Concussion Protocol

Chicago Bears tight end Dion Sims (concussion) has been in the concussion protocol the last two weeks. That surely doesn't bode well for Sims' availability for the start of the regular season. It's equally bad news with Adam Shaheen also on the shelf. The 27-year-old Sims is more of a blocking tight end and had […]

Ronald Jones II Has Grasp Of Playbook

While Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie running back Ronald Jones II didn't stand out at all in the preseason, head coach Dirk Koetter isn't putting all the blame on him for his poor performances in games. Jones finished the preseason finale against the Jaguars on Thursday with only four yards on 10 carries. In four preseason […]

Cameron Meredith Scores Touchdown In Preseason Finale

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Cameron Meredith, who saw limited action in training camp and the preseason while he recovered from an ACL tear in 2017, saw a lot of playing time in the final preseason game against the Rams on Thursday. He played 39 snaps (60 percent) and had two catches for 72 yards […]

Cardinals Expected To Keep Three QBs

The Arizona Cardinals are expected to keep quarterbacks Sam Bradford, Josh Rosen and Mike Glennon on the 53-man roster to open the 2018 regular season. Bradford has been tabbed as the starter, while Rosen is expected to be the primary backup with Glennon working as the third signal caller. Bradford completed eight of his 12 […]

Jermaine Kearse Could Miss Season Opener

The New York Jets fear that wide receiver Jermaine Kearse (abdomen) will miss Week 1 against the Lions after having a medical procedure on his abdominal injury, according to sources. Head coach Todd Bowles said that Kearse is "getting better every day" but offered no timetable for his return. “Day-to-day, week-to-week,” Bowles said. Kears also […]

Rams, Aaron Donald Finalizing Extension

The Los Angeles Rams and All-Pro defensive tackle Aaron Donald are finalizing a record six-year, $135 million deal on Friday, including $87 million guaranteed, according to a source. It is the richest defensive deal in NFL history and ties Donald to LA for the next seven years. Donald will be ready for Week 1. The […]

Brice Butler Catches One Pass Against Broncos

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Brice Butler only caught one pass for 19 yards against the Broncos. It looks as if Butler will be the fourth wide receiver on the team's depth chart following a preseason injury and lackluster performances. With Larry Fitzgerald currently occupying the top spot, there is still room for maneuvering between Chad […]

Mike Glennon Plays Well Against Broncos

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Mike Glennon played well Thursday night against the Broncos, completing eight of 10 passes for 69 yards and a touchdown. Glennon has definitely outperformed rookie Chad Kanoff and should take over the third quarterback spot behind Sam Bradford and rookie Josh Allen. However, unless 2018 brings an injury to Bradford and poor […]

Kenneth Dixon Does Little Against Redskins

Baltimore Ravens running back Kenneth Dixon did little to nothing in his effort to secure a roster spot Thursday night against the Redskins. The oft-injured Dixon tallied just 12 yards on five carries and dropped his only target out of the backfield. It was a night to forget for Dixon, who might not have many […]

Breshad Perriman Does Little Against Washington

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Breshad Perriman did little to nothing in his campaign for a roster spot Thursday night against the Redskins. The oft-injured receiver caught all three of his targets for just 24 yards, but more notably missed a block on a Mark Andrews catch and run that could've been extended for a touchdown. […]

Mark Andrews Shows Well In Start

Baltimore Ravens rookie tight end Mark Andrews took full advantage of his start in place of injured teammate Hayden Hurst in Thursday's preseason matchup with the Redskins. Andrews reeled in all three of his targets for 61 yards, including a 45-yard catch-and-run play early in the first half. The Ravens selected Hurst in the first […]
