Kurt Benkert Struggles Friday

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kurt Benkert struggled to make an impact in the second preseason game against the Chiefs on Friday. Benkert threw eight passes but only managed three completions for a total of 30 yards. The rookie quarterback also threw an interception, which was returned for a touchdown.

Matt Schaub Solid In Second Preseason Game

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Schaub had a solid outing in the Falcons second preseason game against the Chiefs. The Falcons backup went 7-for-10 with 75 yards and a touchdown.

Updating a previous report, Buffalo Bills quarterback AJ McCarron (shoulder) suffered a hairline fracture in his collarbone during the preseason game on Friday against the Browns, according to a source close to McCarron.

Nick Williams Should Be Very Involved Saturday

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Williams started at wide receiver in the team's Week 1 preseason game due to injuries to Rishard Matthews and Corey Davis. Because of this, Williams played somewhat sparingly, catching one pass for 38 yards. Look for Williams to be a little more involved Saturday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as […]

Akrum Wadley Needs To Impress Saturday

Tennessee Titans rookie running back Akrum Wadley looked solid in his debut last week, aside from the fumble. However, he will need to build off of that performance this week in order to keep pace with David Fluellen in the race for the team's number three running back spot. Wadley likely outmatches Fluellen when it […]

Marcus Mariota Expected To Play More Saturday

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota and the first-team offense is expected to get more playing time on Saturday than they did in Week 1 of the preseason, according to Jim Wyatt. Mariota only played one drive in the preseason opener, but he looked sharp, completing two of three passes for 42 yards and a touchdown. […]

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Mike Glennon (forearm) is nursing a forearm injury and did not play in the preseason game on Friday, according to head coach Steve Wilks.

Nick Chubb Finds End Zone Friday

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb turned in an excellent game against the Buffalo Bills on Friday. Chubb carried the ball 11 times for 53 yards while adding a touchdown and two catches.

Fade Nyheim Hines Of The Colts

Indianapolis Colts rookie running back Nyheim Hines has an outside shot of getting the starting job. However, he has struggled recently in training camp and the first bit of preseason action. Marlon Mack and Christine Michael are the veterans that will get the majority of the carries. Hines may be worthy of a late-round stash […]

David Njoku Held Without A Catch Friday

On Friday against the Buffalo Bills, Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku was unable to recapture the preseason success he enjoyed the previous week. A week after catching two touchdowns, Njoku was held without a catch on just one target. The Browns did deploy a run-heavy approach against the Buffalo starting defense, which limited the […]

Rams Defense Could Be Top-Five Unit

The Los Angeles Rams defense has a chance to be one of the top units in the NFL this season. With All-Pro defensive tackle Aaron Donald, assuming he returns, in the middle clogging up the run and rushing the passer.

Calvin Ridley Shows Off Speed In Second Preseason Game

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley showed plenty of upside during his matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs secondary.

He also displayed his quickness on his […]

Matt Ryan Solid In Limited Appearance

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan looked solid during his limited appearance against the Chiefs on Thursday. The veteran went 5-for-7 for 90 yards and a touchdown. Ryan led the team down the field on the opening drive and eventually found tight end Austin Hooper, who was able to jump over a defender and into the end […]

Duke Johnson Picks Up 27 Yards Friday

Cleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson ran well against the Buffalo Bills on Friday. Johnson, splitting first-team reps with Carlos Hyde, carried the ball four times for 27 yards. Even though he wasn't targeted against Buffalo, the veteran third-down back remains one of the top pass-catching running backs in the league. Johnson is a fantastic […]

Jarvis Landry Held Without A Catch Friday

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry was held without a catch in his team's second preseason game against the Buffalo Bills on Friday. The Browns' No. 1 receiver was only targeted once in the contest. Landry's main "contribution" in the game was an offensive pass interference penalty which negated a catch by rookie Antonio Callaway. […]

Carlos Hyde Scores In Second Preseason Game

Cleveland Browns running back Carlos Hyde ran well against the Buffalo Bills in his team's second preseason game on Friday.

Tyrod Taylor Quiet In Second Preseason Game

Taylor didn't […]

New York Giants rookie running back Saquon Barkley (leg) will not play in the team's second preseason game against the Lions on Friday. The Giants are just being cautious with the second overall pick in the draft. He will be fine for Week 1 and will be the workhorse back in his first season in […]

Free-agent tight end Brent Celek said he isn't interested in playing for the Cowboys and is leaning toward retirement. "I think I'm leaning more toward retirement," Celek said.

Nick Foles' Injury Not Serious

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles (shoulder) is dealing with a minor injury and his tests came back positive, according to a source. He doesn't expect to miss much time. The Super Bowl MVP is one of the best backups in the NFL. He's excellent insurance in case Carson Wentz (knee) isn't ready for Week 1. […]

Dalvin Cook, Latavius Murray Could Split Workload

Minnesota Vikings running backs Dalvin Cook and Latavius Murray could split a good chunk of the workload this year, but head coach Mike Zimmer said it's too early to discuss how the carries will be divided but "they'll both be factors." Cook looked great as a rookie but tore his ACL in the fourth game […]

Julio Jones And Devonta Freeman Will Not Suit Up Friday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones and running back Devonta Freeman will not suit up against the Chiefs on Friday. Much like last week this is a coach's decision, to prevent any potential injury. With Jones and Freeman out it prevents opportunities for more touches for Tevin Coleman, Ito Smith, Calvin Ridley, Marvin Hall and […]

Deion Jones Not Playing Friday

Atlanta Falcons linebacker Deion Jones will not play Friday. Jones has had no injury issues reported previously and the decision to hold him out is mostly a coach's decision, as he would likely play if this was a regular season game. Jones will once again be a big part of the Falcons defense in 2018, […]

Matt Bryant Will Not Play Friday

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant (undisclosed) will not play Friday. Officially it is being called a coach's decision, but Bryant has missed practice.

Jake Kumerow Has Sprained SC Joint

Updating a previous report, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jake Kumerow (shoulder) was diagnosed with a sprained SC joint in his shoulder on Friday, according to a source.

Dallas Cowboys defensive end Randy Gregory said that he was "game-ready." He's likely to make his preseason debut Saturday when the Cowboys take on the Cincinnati Bengals.
