Austin Seferian-Jenkins Expected To Miss Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins (abdomen) is not expected to practice on Wednesday. Seferian-Jenkins has been battling this injury all year but has yet to miss a game.

T.J. Yeldon Expected To Practice Wednesday

Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon (ankle) is expected to practice on Wednesday. Yeldon should be fine for Week 5 against the Chiefs, and he'll one again be in the RB2 conversation with Leonard Fournette (hamstring) already ruled out.

Eli Manning Not Risking Deep Plays

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning hasn't been willing to take deep shots down the field much through the first four weeks of the NFL season. “Risks are not what you want to take," Manning said. “You throw the ball down the field when it’s not risky, and then there’s forcing things and that leads […]
