Detroit Lions head coach Matt Patricia said he won't be holding defensive end Ezekiel Ansah (hamstring) back during the preseason.

Carson Wentz Unlikely To Play At All In Preseason

Taylor Gabriel's Injury Is Minor

Chicago Bears wide receiver Taylor Gabriel's (foot) injury is "nothing serious," according to head coach Matt Nagy. It'd be a surprise if Gabriel plays in the preseason game this week. The 27-year-old was brought in through free agency to bolster the passing game, and he brings a speed element that will mesh well with Nagy's […]

Joey Bosa Injured In Practice Tuesday

Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa (foot) injured his left foot in practice on Tuesday but was able to walk off the field under his own power. He will undergo further evaluation.

Doug Baldwin Should Be Ready For Week 1

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that wide receiver Doug Baldwin (knee) should be ready for the Week 1 opener against the Broncos. Baldwin is unlikely to play at all in the preseason.

Jordan Howard Held Out For Precautionary Reasons

Chicago Bears running back Jordan Howard (knee) "banged his knee" in practice on Sunday and is being held from practice on Tuesday as a precaution, according to head coach Matt Nagy.
