Rob Gronkowski Presents Matchup Nightmare For Eagles

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski will be the Eagles toughest defensive assignment for this Sunday's Super Bowl.

Andrew Luck "Very Close" to Resuming Throwing Routine

After taking time off in Europe for treatment on his surgically repaired shoulder, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck (shoulder) is "very close" to resuming a routine throwing regimen, according to NFL Insider Ian Rapoport.

Jay Ajayi Limited in Friday's Practice

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jay Ajayi (ankle) was limited in practice on Friday. Ajayi started out the week as a full participant on Wednesday, but then got in just limited work on Thursday and Friday.

Kenjon Barner Not Practicing; Nelson Agholor Working as Kick Returner

Philadelphia Eagles running back Kenjon Barner did not practice on Thursday. The reason is unknown so far.

Dannell Ellerbe Practicing on Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles middle linebacker Dannell Ellerbe (hamstring) is practicing on Thursday.

Ellerbe coming back would be […]

Derek Carr's Back Injury Bothered Him Throughout The Year

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr (back) said the three transverse process fractures he suffered in his back in Week 4 against the Broncos affected him throughout the season.

Teddy Bridgewater Hopes To Start In 2018

Minnesota Vikings impending free-agent quarterback Teddy Bridgewater sees himself as a starter for the 2018 season. Along with Bridgewater, quarterbacks Case Keenum and Sam Bradford will also be free agents, so the Vikes have some decisions to make.

Dalvin Cook Has Resumed Jogging

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (knee) has resumed jogging, but he doesn't have a set plan for returning to football activities.

Eli Rogers Tore ACL In Divisional Round

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Eli Rogers (knee) suffered a torn ACL in the Divisional Round loss to the Jaguars last weekend.
