Jaguars Cut Ryan Santoso

The Jacksonville Jaguars waived kicker Ryan Santoso on Tuesday. After also waiving Elliott Fry with an undisclosed injury, the Jaguars now have no kickers on their current roster.

Chase Young Moved To PUP List, Will Miss Four Games

The Washington Commanders moved pass-rusher Chase Young (knee) to the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list on Tuesday, meaning he'll miss at least the first four games of the regular season.

The Houston Chronicle's Jonathan M. Alexander reports that it's looking more likely that Houston Texans rookie running back Dameon Pierce could be the team's lead back in Week 1.

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton didn't play in the second preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday after being limited all week with an undisclosed soft-tissue injury that he suffered in the preseason opener.

Sterling Shepard Expected To Be Activated From PUP List

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (Achilles) ramped up his work at training camp practice last week as he recovers from a torn Achilles, and it looks like he will be activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list before the start of the regular season.

Kenny Golladay Has Been Invisible

New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay played 21 offensive snaps in Sunday's preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals and didn't receive a single target. The Giants would lose $4.3 million in salary cap space if they were to cut Golladay, so they have no choice but to stick with him and hope he rediscovers […]

Isaiah Wynn On The Trade Block?

The New England Patriots have talked to other teams about offensive tackle Isaiah Wynn, the team's first-round pick from 2018. Wynn is on a $10.4 million fifth-year option and he's still seen as a tackle/guard tweener. The Patriots are really tight to the salary cap, and SI.com's Albert Breer's sense is they'd like to use […]

Cody Ford Traded To The Cardinals

The Buffalo Bills traded offensive guard Cody Ford to the Arizona Cardinals on Monday in exchange for a fifth-round draft pick in 2023. The Bills selected Ford in the second round of the 2019 NFL draft out of the University of Oklahoma, but the 25-year-old has mostly disappointed in his first three seasons in the […]

Romeo Doubs Being Held To Higher Standard

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said he's holding rookie wide receiver Romeo Doubs to a higher standard at training camp based on how well he's played to this point, even though Rodgers said many times that expectations need to be "reasonable" for rookie wideouts.

Packers Consider Both Aaron Jones, A.J. Dillon Starters

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur called running backs Aaron Jones and A.J. Dillon back "1A and 1A." "They're two of the premier backs in our league, in my opinion.

Sophomore Quarterbacks Set to Bust Again in Fantasy Football

Not every NFL rookie will be good. Adjusting to the speed and physicality of the NFL is tough. Sometimes, it takes a player a little bit to adjust. Take Trevor Lawrence, for instance.
