Salvon Ahmed Quiet In Win Over Patriots

Tua Tagovailoa Underwhelming In Opener

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has been receiving plenty of hype going into his sophomore campaign.

Chicago Bears left tackle Jason Peters (quadriceps) and offensive tackle Larry Borom (ankle) were both removed from the Sunday night game against the Los Angeles Rams due to injury.

Trea Turner Snaps 0-For-7 Skid Sunday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marquez Callaway mustered one reception for 14 yards on two targets in Sunday's huge win over Aaron Rodgers and the Packers.

Anthony Firkser Catches Three Passes In Week 1

Tennessee Titans tight end Anthony Firkser caught three of four targets for 19 yards during Sunday's 38-13 Week 1 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.

As […]

Marshon Lattimore Considered Week-To-Week

New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore (thumb) suffered a thumb injury in the Week 1 win over the Green Bay Packers and will need surgery to fix it, according to a source.

Chris Manhertz Catches Touchdown In Week 1 Loss

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Chris Manhertz caught his only pass for a 22-yard touchdown in the team's 37-21 Week 1 defeat against the Houston Texans.
