The Kansas City Chiefs have some question marks in the backfield. The signing of Ronald Jones II doesn't seem like it's going to work out and that leaves a lot of pressure on Clyde Edwards-Helaire.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette only hit 80 percent of the team's offensive snaps last year once in the first 10 games.

Jalen Hurts Has Improved As A Passer

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has improved his accuracy as a pocket passer and with his anticipation. Over time, Hurts has gotten more mobility and fluidity in his throwing motion, a result of working smarter, not necessarily harder, in the weight room. "I think that it had kind of a cascading effect. His accuracy has […]

Chris Godwin Practicing Without Knee Brace

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (knee) was seen practicing on Monday without a brace on his surgically repaired right knee.

Jeff Wilson Jr. Likely To Have Increased Workload

San Francisco 49ers running back Jeff Wilson Jr. has a chance to really make an impact this upcoming season.

He finished with 294 […]

Jason Peters Has Agreement With Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys have reportedly agreed to a contract with offensive tackle Jason Peters. The 40-year-old is expected to begin the season on the practice squad.
