While the Green Bay Packers traded away a pair of players without getting an immediate return, general manager Brian Gutekunst says they're not giving up on the season.

Green Bay traded Ha Ha Clinton-Dix to Washington for a 2019 fourth-round pick and running back/kick returner Ty Montgomery to Baltimore for a conditional 2020 seventh-rounder.

"I don't necessarily think there's a message it sends to the locker room," the first-year GM said Wednesday. "I think the decisions that we make are always in the best interest of our team, not only in the short term, but the long term, as well. But I think our locker room knows where we're headed and, like I said, I think we're humming at the right time and I think there's a lot of positive things going forward."

The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed Landry Jones.

Blake Bortles suffered an injury to his non-throwing shoulder, but is expected to play in Week 10.

Jones, whom the Jaguars recently had in for a workout, spent the past five seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Jones went 3-2 as a starter in place of Ben Roethlisberger. The Steelers cut Jones on Sept. 1, opting to keep Joshua Dobbs as Roethlisberger's backup.

Bill Belichick is concerned about the running back position in New England.

The Patriots' leading rusher in Monday night's win over the Buffalo Bills was wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson.

In a 19-point win, the Patriots ran the ball 25 times for 75 yards.

"We just got back a few hours ago, so we'll kind or recalibrate here and see where we're at relative to who's available and how we want to structure our game plan and what we want to do there," Belichick told WEEI. "That's one of the things we're going through (Tuesday). But it's a consideration, and I'd say it's a concern."

James White has taken a majority of the snaps with Sony Michel out with a knee injury.

The Buffalo Bills have signed Terrelle Pryor as they seek offensive playmakers.

Derek Anderson, starting in place of injured rookie Josh Allen, is in the concussion protocol, which will likely force Nathan Peterman under center this weekend.

The Bills signed Pryor as a wide receiver, but there has been speculation that he could get a look at quarterback.

The Green Bay Packers have traded Ha Ha Clinton-Dix to the Washington Redskins for a fourth-round draft pick, according to sources.

Clinton-Dix, 25, since been a starter since 2014, but will hit the free agency market after the season.

The Los Angeles Rams have landed Dante Fowler from the Jacksonville Jaguars for a third-round draft pick in 2019 and fifth-round selection in 2020.

Fowler will become an unrestricted free agent after this season.

The third overall pick in 2015, Fowler has eight tackles and two sacks in seven games this season and has 14 sacks and 22 quarterback hits in 39 career games.

Fowler will join a defensive line rotation that already includes Aaron Donald, Ndamukong Suh and Michael Brockers.

The Baltimore Ravens have acquired Ty Montgomery from the Green Bay Packers for a seventh-round draft pick in 2020, according to a source.

The deal comes two days after Montgomery made a special teams error, running a fourth-quarter kickoff out of the end zone and making a costly fumble in a 29-27 loss at the Los Angeles Rams.

The Ravens' running game has lacked any explosiveness this season with Alex Collins (3.7-yard per carry) and Buck Allen (2.6).

The Denver Broncos have traded Demaryius Thomas to the Houston Texans in exchange for a fourth-round draft pick.

The teams will also swap seventh-round picks.

John Elway said "three or four teams" had expressed interest in Thomas.

"We were not hell bent on trading Demaryius,'' Elway said. "If the value was there, we felt the value was there ... we got the value we thought was fair and that was the most important thing."

Houston will face the Broncos in Denver on Sunday.

The Philadelphia Eagles have acquired Golden Tate from the Detroit Lions for a third-round pick.

Tate, 30, signed with the Lions before the 2014 season and is in the final year of his contract.

He had 90 catches in each of his four full seasons with Detroit and had 1,000 yards in three of those years.

The Dallas Cowboys have parted ways with offensive line coach Paul Alexander and promoted Marc Colombo to the position.

Alexander was named the offensive line coach in the offseason after a 24-year stint with the Cincinnati Bengals. He replaced Frank Pollack, who moved to the Bengals in the same role.

Colombo has been the assistant offensive line coach since 2016 after a 10-year career as a player, including six with the Cowboys, five as the starting right tackle.
