ATL - Falcons place Dante Fowler on Covid list, 3 other players placed on PUP list
CHI - Bears place S Eddie Jackson on NFI list, also place OT Germain Ifedi on PUP list
LAR - Rams Te Jacob Harris had core muscle procedure prior to camp - may miss a bit of time
ARI - JJ Watt also placed on PUP list
NYG - Giants did waive "Te" Kelvin Benjamin - and he then cried about it being a stunt and railed on Joe Judge
DAL - Dak Prescott left practice early with shoulder strain - he says its minor and they are being cautious
PHI - more rumors flying Eagles are looking into Watson - per GM Eagles will always look into any position change to better team
GB - Packers trade for Wr Randall Cobb - send 6th round pick to Houston
NE - Patriots activate Trent Brown and Kyle Van Noy from PUP list
NE - However, story now on Jarrett Stidham is he has an injury to his throwing shoulder and may need surgery to fix the issue
IND - Colts sign DL Damontre Moore
GB - so Aaron Rodgers let it all hang out, one issue that was not addressed was the fact that Rodgers said the team would trade him this and didn't, and he also isn't convinced they will next year if he so desires. Here is MY point of view. Packers have no choice. They have to deal him in 2022, they can't keep paying Love for no reason, and with the 2023 year voided, and no Tag capability, they will lose Rodgers in 2023 anyway. So dealing him in 2022 is a must to get any trade value for moving on from Rodgers.
NO - many reports say the team is mightily ticked off that Michael Thomas didn't have surgery sooner, and may miss quite a few weeks of this season. - However, GM said it was a mutual agreement by team to be more conservative, so it isn't only on Thomas!!
LVR - place Jalen Richard and Theo Riddick on Covid list, and place Kenyan Drake on NFI list
LVR - Wr Henry Ruggs has added 13 lbs of muscle to bulk up more and be more effective
NE - Patriots claimed Qb Jake Dolegala off of waivers from Packers - with Stidham hurt this makes more sense
GB - evidently the redone contract for Rodgers must be done as team traded for Cobb and are planning to sign FA OT Dennis Kelly
MIA - two playoff teams from last year have reached out to Dolphins about Xavien Howard
SEA - D'Wayne Eskridge and Travis Homer placed on PUP list
CAR - Panthers sign FA Wr Krishawn Hogan
