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 […]

Trenton Cannon Behind In Returner Competition

New York Jets running back Trenton Cannon (ankle, foot) was inactive for Thursday's preseason game against the Washington Redskins. He continues to lag behind wide receiver Andre Roberts in the competition for both the kickoff return and punt return competitions. If Cannon is going to make the 53-man roster, he is going to have to […]

Isaiah Wynn Carted Off Field Thursday

New England Patriots offensive tackle Isaiah Wynn (ankle), their first-round draft pick, was carted off the field during the preseason game on Thursday. That's obviously not a great sign, but we'll need to see what Wynn's test results say. Losing him for a long stretch of time in his rookie season would be bad news […]

Marcus Maye Among Key Players Missing For Gang Green

New York Jets free safety Marcus Maye (ankle) missed his second consecutive preseason game Thursday against the Washington Redskins. Safety Doug Middleton was tasked with replacing him in the starting lineup. In fact, 23 of the team's 90 players on the current roster were inactive due to injuries and/or other reasons. Offensive guard Brian Winters […]

Rex Burkhead's Injury Not Serious

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead's undisclosed injury is not considered serious, and there's a good chance he would've played on Thursday if it were a regular season game, according to sources. The Patriots are being extra cautious knowing Burkhead's value to the offense. Burkhead is likely the team's lead back, but that's really […]

Terrelle Pryor Resting His Ankle On Thursday

New York Jets wide receiver Terrelle Pryor (ankle) did not suit up for Thursday's preseason game against the Washington Redskins. His absence against his former team is not unexpected as he slowly makes his way back from a broken ankle suffered back in May. His revealing of the injury on social media drew the ire […]

Aaron Rodgers, Packers Working Towards Extension

The Green Bay Packers and quarterback Aaron Rodgers are "creeping along towards a deal," according to a source. This deal is particularly difficult because there is no ceiling, and this deal will certainly make Rodgers the highest paid player in NFL history. Despite turning 35 this December and missing nine games last year due to […]

Quincy Enunwa Doesn't Play In Preseason Game

New York Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa (thumb) reportedly looked good in pregame warmups before the preseason game with the Washington Redskins. He ran routes and was catching passes, but he was inactive for the game. Beat writer Manish Mehta said that the receiver looked close to 100 percent healthy. That's a great sign for […]

No End In Sight To Khalil Mack's Holdout

There is no end in sight to Oakland Raiders defensive end Khalil Mack's holdout, according to a source. He will not be reporting to the team before their second preseason game this Saturday, meaning he will be fined another $814,000. You'd think the Raiders and Mack will have something worked out before Week 1, but […]

Devin Lucien Has Been Impressive

New England Patriots wide receiver Devin Lucien has been one of the most impressive receivers at training camp. He continues to improve, and this is his third year in Patriots camp. Lucien is a smooth route runner at 6-foot-2, 200 pounds, and has the speed to stretch the field. He is making a case for […]

Cordarrelle Patterson Not Seeing Work With Starters

New England Patriots wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson has made some incredible catches in practice, but he hasn't had many repetitions with the starters. Patterson has the speed to be a weapon, but so far in the NFL that's only translated to special teams. He hasn't caught more than 52 passes in a single season, but […]

Kenny Britt Still Recovering From Injury

New England Patriots wide receiver Kenny Britt (hamstring) is still recovering from a hamstring injury he suffered on June 5 and hasn't taken any repetitions in one-on-one or team drills. The 29-year-old has a huge opportunity with Julian Edelman suspended for the first four games, but he hasn't done anything with it so far in […]

Jacob Hollister Ready For Bigger Role

New England Patriots tight end Jacob Hollister looks ready to take on a bigger role behind Rob Gronkowski. Hollister's fluidity has stood out in practice, and he moves well on short routes that require a change of direction. He's also added some muscle and is more physical. With the team's lack of wide receiver depth, […]

Mike Gillislee Looks To Be Odd Man Out

New England Patriots running back Mike Gillislee has looked sharp in practices and is running with noticeable burst, but he's still behind Jeremy Hill after Hill's star performance in the first preseason game. Gillislee worked on his receiving skills in the offseason but struggled in short-yardage situations last year. However, he's had more chances to […]

Jon Gruden Praises Derek Carr's Knowledge Of Offense

Oakland Raiders head coach Jon Gruden has been very impressed with quarterback Derek Carr's knowledge of his offense in training camp. And that's saying something, as Gruden is notoriously tough on his quarterbacks and forces them to know all the nuances and variables built into every play. Carr has passed with flying colors. “I think […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Could Play More on Saturday

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo could see more action on Saturday against the Houston Texans, according to 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan. The signal-caller played just one offensive series in the team’s Week 1 matchup against the Cowboys. “I see it pretty similar to the first game. We’ll feel it out. But, he’ll probably […]

Browns Still Expect Josh Gordon In 2018

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon remains in Florida under the care of his NFL-sanctioned medical team. Gordon will be allowed to report to training camp if his doctors think he's ready to handle the demands of the NFL and stay clean and sober. He hasn't failed a test, so no suspension is anticipated once […]

Marcus Mariota Shines In Joint Practice

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota reportedly "picked apart" the Tampa Bay Buccaneers secondary in Thursday's joint practice, according to Erik Bacharach. Mariota threw four straight touchdowns in goal line team drills, and then he led a long two-minute drill drive down the field. Mariota appears to have hit his stride at a good time and […]

Dante Pettis Earns Rave Reviews From Opponent

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis continues to open eyes around the NFL, and this time it was DeAndre Hopkins who took notice. The All-Pro Houston Texans receiver approached Pettis after practice and gave him high praise. “I like your game, man. I like your game,” Hopkins said. 49ers reporter Joe Fann observed that […]

Tajae Sharpe Running With Starters

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tajae Sharpe got a lot of playing time with the starters in Thursday's joint practice with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. According to Travis May, the Titans most common offensive set was 11 personnel with Corey Davis, Delanie Walker, Jonnu Smith, and Tajae Sharpe on the field. It may come as a […]

Darius Jennings Looks Like A Lock To Make Titans

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Darius Jennings has been one of the surprises of camp thus far as he continues to make plays in the passing game. He entered camp as a candidate to make the practice squad, but he has reportedly shown enough to be in strong contention for the fifth receiver spot when the […]

Philip Rivers To Play Saturday, Joey Bosa Out

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers will play in the team's preseason game on Saturday after sitting out the opener. Defensive end Joey Bosa (foot) will sit out again. Rivers will probably only play a series or two before exiting. Fantasy owners typically don't target 36-year-old quarterbacks, but Rivers could be a low-end QB1 sleeper […]

Dez Bryant Optimistic He'll Join Browns

Free-agent wide receiver Dez Bryant sounded optimistic about getting a deal done with the Cleveland Browns after a visit on Thursday, according to a league source. Bryant is hoping to sign a one-year, "prove-it" deal to re-establish himself as a Pro Bowl receiver. Bryant hasn't looked like a Pro Bowl receiver in several years and […]

Krishawn Hogan Puts in Strong Practice

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Krishawn Hogan put in a strong practice on Thursday, which included catching two touchdown passes, according to Zak Keefer of the Indy Star. Hogan played in two games in 2017 before suffering a torn ACL. Despite the buzz, it's safe to say that Hogan will not be any threat to T.Y. […]
