The headlines from the past week at PFR:
Key News:
- Rams wide receiver Stedman Bailey was shot in the head in South Florida. We hope for a speedy recovery.
- Star defensive lineman Sheldon Richardson talks about his future with the Jets.
- Lawrence Timmons has a big cap hit coming for the Steelers, but the linebacker is hoping to get an extension done.
- The Lions have hired Ernie Accorsi to assist them in their search for a new general manager.
- Rory Parks updated us on the latest news concerning the split in the Eagles front office between Chip Kelly and Howie Roseman.
Activations:
- The Seahawks have activated cornerback Jeremy Lane, who last saw the field while picking off a Tom Brady pass in the Super Bowl and was injured on the play.
- The Bengals activated rookie offensive tackle Cedric Ogbuehi from their non-football injury list.
- The Panthers activated pass rusher Charles Johnson from IR-DTR this week.
QBs:
- Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning will miss at least an additional two weeks with a torn plantar fascia. Brock Osweiler, who the team apparently attempted to trade in 2014, will continue to start for the Broncos.
- The Browns just named Johnny Manziel the starter going forward, but the team will return to Josh McCown in light of a video of Manziel partying surfaces. Manziel allegedly lied to the team about the timeline regarding the video. The team has not considered cutting the former first-round pick.
