NFL Notes: Broncos, Patriots, Ravens, Redskins, & Texans

Patriots

• Mike Reiss of ESPN wonders if the Patriots may consider trading for a cornerback now that they’ve placed veteran CB Tarell Brown on season-ending injured reserve.
• According to Reiss, Buccaneers CB Alterraun Verner and Titans CB Jason McCourty have both come up as speculative options in media-based discussions.
• Reiss adds that Chiefs CB Marcus Cooper has been someone he’s been keeping an eye on as well, given that he played at Rutgers, which happens to be a school the Patriots have scouted thoroughly in recent years.

Ravens

Ravens RB Justin Forsett (questionable, ankle) said he’ll end up being a game-time decision for Sunday’s game.

“It’s a work in progress,” Forsett said, per Jamison Hensley. “We’re heading in the right direction.”

Redskins

• Redskins WR DeSean Jackson has been downgraded to out for Sunday’s game against the Jets.
• Jackson reportedly suffered a setback in his return from a hamstring injury during practice this week.

Texans
