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. With the Super Bowl still over a week away, Ajayi's mid-week downgrade is very likely nothing to worry about. He'll […]

Cardinals To Keep QB Coach Byron Leftwich

The Arizona Cardinals have announced that head coach Steve Wilks will retain quarterbacks coach Byron Leftwich. This is a key move, as the Cardinals have no signal caller on the roster currently, meaning that whoever gets signed will have the experience of Leftwich to go off of.

Jim Bob Cooter Expected to Stay on in Detroit

Leonard Fournette's Quiet Second Half Stifles Jaguars Offense

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette rushed for 76 yards and one touchdown as the Jaguars lost to the Patriots 24-20.

Jerick McKinnon Prefers Lead-Back Role

Minnesota Vikings impending free-agent running back Jerick McKinnon said he would ideally like to go somewhere where he can be the featured running back. “I want bigger and better things for myself.
