Joe Mixon, Giovani Bernard Head Up Queen City RBs
Cincinnati Bengals running backs Joe Mixon and Giovani Bernard sit atop the depth chart on the 53-man roster heading into the regular season.

Jason Myers Has Job With Jets For Now
New York Jets placekicker Jason Myers edged out Taylor Bertolet for the starting job in the preseason, but it's uncertain if he'll open the season in that capacity.

Chris Herndon, Jordan Leggett Head Up Tight Ends
The New York Jets elected to keep tight ends Chris Herndon, Jordan Leggett, Eric Tomlinson and Neal Sterling after announcing their 53-man roster over the weekend.

Michael Johnson Back With The Bengals
The Cincinnati Bengals re-signed defensive end Michael Johnson on Sunday. Johnson was one of the roster casualties over the weekend, but apparently there was a change of heart by Cincinnati brass.

Read More

Read More

Read More
Chris Thompson To Reprise Third-Down Role
Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson made the 53-man roster and he is expected to resume his role as the team's third-down back.

Rob Kelley Expected To Be Primary Backup
Washington Redskins running back Rob Kelley is expected to serve as the immediate backup to veteran Adrian Peterson in the team's backfield.

Read More

The Washington Redskins elected to keep running back Samaje Perine on the 53-man roster, as he edged out Kapri Bibbs. The latter was signed to the practice squad on Sunday.
