A.J. Brown Will Not Practice on Sunday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) will not practice on Sunday, according to Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed worked solely as a slot receiver during Saturday's practice. Instead, Matthew Golden, Malik Heath, and Romeo Doubs saw a majority of the snaps from wideout.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (calf) wasn't able to participate during Saturday's practice.

Terrance Ferguson Remains Without a Timetable

Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson (groin) was unable to participate in practice on Saturday.

Is Michael McDowell Worth Rostering for Iowa DFS Lineups?

Spire Motorsports driver Michael McDowell obtained a starting position of 13th after qualifying for this week's Iowa Corn 350 at Iowa Speedway.
