Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson caught eight passes for 97 yards and one touchdown versus the San Francisco 49ers.

Justin Fields Not Being Rushed

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields is "not being rushed" according to general manager Ryan Pace.

A.J. Rose Jr. Continues To Fight For Roster Spot

Minnesota Vikings running back A.J. Rose Jr. had six carries for 41 yards and two touchdowns versus the Kansas City Chiefs.

Davis Mills Throws Three Picks

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills went 10-for-27 for 106 yards and two touchdowns to go along with three interceptions during the preseason matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
