Cowboys owner Jerry Jones continues to comment on the possibility that the team will bring in WR Odell Beckham as a free agent.

โ€œOdell is someone that we have all the appreciation in the world for what he is as a competitor,โ€ Jones said on 105.3 The Fan. โ€œI know the Cowboys star on that helmet when he puts it on could look pretty good.โ€

  • In a radio interview, Jones said they anticipate RB Ezekiel Elliott coming back this week: โ€œItโ€™s anticipated heโ€™ll be ready to go.โ€ 

Eagles

Giants

Giants WR Sterling Shepard spoke highly of second-round WR Wan’Dale Robinson, saying the rookie is “well beyond his years.”

โ€œThatโ€™s not too much I need to tell him,โ€ Shepard said, via the Athletic. โ€œHeโ€™s well beyond his years, man. Heโ€™s going to be great for us.โ€

Robinson’s position coach, Mike Groh, credited him for the job he’s done acclimating to the team’s offense as a young player. 

โ€œWanโ€™Daleโ€™s done a really good job of integrating himself after missing four or five weeks there, jumping right into it,โ€ Groh said. โ€œHeโ€™s done a good job of acclimating himself very quickly and making plays when the ballโ€™s coming to him.โ€
