"We have followed our internal protocol, determining that right now it is best for the team and for Andy to take time away from the organization to focus on his personal matters. We are going to respect the process of investigation on this personal matter and will have no further comment at this time."Manziel said he was not overly concerned about the tendinitis because it was simply a matter of overuse.

As a former second-round pick, Ball never lived up to the hype, compiling 731 yards in two seasons in Denver. He played in just five contests in 2014 due to injury. Anderson, an undrafted free agent, showed much better flash, consistency and upside as a first-and-second-down back.Stephen Morris was claimed by the Eagles to be the team's third quarterback after he was waived by the Jaguars. Patrick Smith/Getty Imageswholesale polo ralph lauren t shirts"I think he's making the right decision," Herbst told ESPN on Monday. "His health is more important than football."New Orleans Saints: I say Drew Brees, a surefire top-five and often top-three QB, finishes outside the top 10 at quarterback this season in fantasy points. My thinking: He says last season's sixth-place finish among QBs was because of injury, and maybe it was. But losing guys like Jimmy Graham, Kenny Stills and Pierre Thomas, going more run-based and hoping to keep that same production with a young and somewhat unproven Brandin Cooks, an injury-prone C.J. Spiller, a slowing-down Marques Colston and a raw Brandon Coleman is dicey. Plus, with downgrades at tight end and a growing number of talented quarterbacks in fantasy-friendly offenses, I can easily see another "down" year for Brees.Oakland Raiders: I say Michael Crabtree, currently being drafted as WR58, finishes the season as a top-30 fantasy WR. My thinking: This will be a much-improved offense from last season. There's rookie Amari Cooper, and Latavius Murray and Derek Carr are playing their second seasons. Crabtree looks fully healthy to me, and this team will throw, throw, throw.
ralph lauren canada outletGreen Bay Packers: I say Jeff Janis, currently being undrafted, is a top-30 wide receiver this season. My thinking: As of this writing, Jordy Nelson is out for the year, Randall Cobb is banged up and Ty Montgomery is considered the favorite for the third-down role, so I like Janis, who is truly the best remaining deep threat on the team. I believe he'll be a bit of a fantasy whack-a-mole, but that offense needs to take shots deep. Janis, who has scored multiple times in the preseason, will be a poor man's Torrey Smith/DeSean Jackson type for Green Bay and wind up top-30.ralph lauren canada outlet"It's about trust," defensive end Cam Heyward said.Jeff Fisher said it's "a game time situation" for Tre Mason when the Rams play the Seahawks on Sunday.polo jeans womensPierre-Paul has stayed away from the Giants for the entire offseason, during which time he and the team have been in a dispute over his contract status.

They will try to find middle ground, renegotiating the one-year deal, perhaps to include performance incentives based on playing time. When they reach a deal, Pierre-Paul will be under contract and potentially available.

Aaron Rodgers shows why he's the best quarterback in the NFL in what should be a high-scoring game.
Jeffri Chadiha: Colts over Seahawks. The Seahawks aren't as strong as they've been in the past, even with Jimmy Graham in the fold. Andrew Luck has too many weapons to be stopped in this contest.

These are scenarios that are not likely to happen, but they aren't impossible, either.And frankly, it's not important whether I get it right.You heard me.ralph lauren canadaKansas City Chiefs: I say, with Alex Smith as his quarterback now that he's in Kansas City, Jeremy Maclin has the best fantasy season of his career. My thinking: Conventional wisdom has Maclin, currently going as WR24, dropping off significantly after leaving Philly for K.C. and the conservative Smith. But knowing Andy Reid's offense, the relationship Maclin and Reid have and the crazy number of targets and touches the offense will generate for Maclin, his talent and volume propel him to a monster season.With the New England Patriots thin at receiver save for Julian Edelman, the Pittsburgh Steelers plan to make tight end Rob Gronkowski earn every yard -- and he'll have to shed constant contact to do it.When he first injured his groin, Arian Foster's situation, and consequently the Houston Texans' situation at running back, seemed dire.It shouldn't have.The broken bones in his hand have healed, but he is expected to play with a cast on his hand, at least early on. He hopes to play early, perhaps missing a few games. But the question remains -- when will the Giants feel comfortable putting a cast on his hand and having him on the field?

Griffin's future in Washington remains unsettled -- is it for a few weeks or all season? But before anything can be decided, Griffin must pass the NFL's concussion protocol.
