Eagles
- Jimmy Kempski of the Philly Voice believes fifth-round LB Nathan Gerry could have a hard time making the final roster since he is converting from safety and is undersized as a linebacker.

“No. Still. None,” Marrone said Saturday, via Ryan O’Halloran of the Florida Times-Union. “Probably don’t expect him to [reach out] now.”
Marrone explained that he would just like to hear from Albert about what he plans to do.
“I just want to know so when you ask me, I can answer it or when [Coughlin or Caldwell] asks, I can answer them,” Marrone said. “They ask me, ‘Have you talked to him? Is he going to come? Is he going to play?’ I don’t know.
“I’ve been in situations where I’ve had a player on the [franchise] tag and they would say, ‘Hey, I’m not signing the tag, I’m not going to [show up], but I’m going to be working out and training.’ … You just want to know where everyone is at and that’s all I was expecting [from Albert].”
Jets
- Connor Hughes of NJ Advance Media believes a three-game losing streak would be enough for QB Christian Hackenberg to become the starter.
- Hughes could see Hackenberg starting by Week 4 or Week 5 if the season gets off to a poor start. Although, Hughes adds that Week 9 or 10 could be another starting point for Hackenberg if the team decides to continue starting Josh McCown.
- Hughes expects second-year LB Darron Lee to be the Jets’ most improved player in 2017.
- Hughes does not think the Jets will sign a veteran free agent quarterback like Jay Cutler or Colin Kaepernick.
