NFL Notes: Chiefs, Colts, Dolphins, & Eagles

Chiefs

  • Aaron Wilson reports that Chiefs LT Eric Fisher expressed concern about his high ankle sprain to the team.
  • The Chiefs are expected to start newly signed OT Jah Reid at right tackle against Texans DE J.J. Watt, according to Wilson.

Colts

  • Adam Schefter reports that Colts OLB Robert Mathis had 10 surgical procedures over past year to prevent infection and ensure his Achilles was healing right.

Dolphins

Barry Jackson, citing five sources, reports that Dolphins RB LaMichael James and WR Jarvis Landry started fighting during a special teams meeting on Wednesday.

From what we hear, Landry — a jovial, fun-loving guy — was joking around at the start of the meeting. James appeared to be in a bad mood, and whatever Landry was joking about rubbed James the wrong way, prompting James to lash out physically. A source said Landry did not level any personal attacks at James.

Pushes and shoves were exchanged, but neither player was injured; James suffered a shoulder injury this week and was limited in practice Thursday, but that injury happened while blocking in a blitz pickup in practice, according to a source. James is expected to play today.

Both players have since apologized to the team for the incident.

Eagles

  • ESPN’s Chris Mortensen mentioned during Sunday’s NFL Insiders that the Eagles could be a potential landing spot for Robert Griffin III in the event he’s cut by Washington.
