Jerry Jones Expecting Ezekiel Elliott To Miss More Than Opener

Aug 30, 2019 1:10 PM

Jerry Jones believes Ezekiel Elliott could miss more than just the Dallas Cowboys' Sept. 8 regular-season opener against the New York Giants in a contract dispute.

"I'm operating as though right now he's going to miss regular-season games," Jones said. "My entire expectation for what we're putting together as a team right now would anticipate with him holding out and not having any training camp that he's going to miss games. I just accept that."

The Cowboys and Elliott's representatives have had talks in recent days but nothing appears imminent, according to sources.

Eagles Allowing Josh McCown To Coach High School Team

Aug 30, 2019 7:48 AM

Josh McCown could enter the season as the No. 2 quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, but they aren't requiring him to quit his part-time job.

He was coaching high school football in Charlotte, North Carolina during his brief retirement and will continue to do so.

The Eagles' practice schedule combined with the close proximity to Charlotte allows McCown to hop on a plane and head home Friday and make it back to Philadelphia for Saturday meetings.

McCown's son is the team's backup quarterback.

Dolphins Name Ryan Fitzpatrick Starting Quarterback

Aug 30, 2019 7:41 AM

The Miami Dolphins have named Ryan Fitzpatrick their starting quarterback for Week 1 against the Baltimore Ravens.

"After a thorough evaluation of OTAs, training camp, games, practice, we felt this was the best move for the team going into the season," Brian Flores said. "Ryan has done a really good job from a leadership standpoint, from an execution standpoint, and we feel like it's the best move for the team."

Fitzpatrick gets the nod over Josh Rosen, who the Dolphins acquired in a trade with the Arizona Cardinals this offseason.

"I know I have more confidence in myself than anybody in the world," Fitzpatrick said. "Sometimes that's a detriment, but a lot of times that works in my favor. I'm always confident in who I am and what I am as a player. This is where I wanted to be and what I worked to get."
