running back in NFL history to top 1 [url=http://www.jetsjerseyproshop.com/jamison-crowder-jersey/]Jamison Crowder Jerseys 2019[/url] ,000 yards rushing in season openers.Washington coach Jay Gruden, however, made the four-time All-Pro and 2012 NFL MVP a heathy scratch Sunday for the Redskins‘ opener at Philadelphia.That left Peterson with 999 career rushing yards in a dozen season openers and it left Hall of Famers Emmitt Smith, Walter Payton and Jim Brown as well as Edgerrin James as the only members of that exclusive club.Derrius Guice, who missed his rookie season after tearing an ACL [url=http://www.jetsjerseyproshop.com/spencer-long-jersey/]White Spencer Long Jerseys[/url] , is Washington’s No. 1 running back and Chris Thompson and former Eagles back Wendell Smallwood were his backups.Peterson led the Redskins with 1,042 yards last season, when he scored seven times.The Cowboys made healthy scratches of their top picks from two of the past three drafts, putting defensive linemen Taco Charlton and Trysten Hill on the inactive list for the opener against the Giants.Charlton was a late first-round pick in 2017, while Hill was the club’s top choice as a second-rounder this year. The decision to sit both comes despite defensive end Robert Quinn being suspended the first two games for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancers.While Charlton had a solid preseason coming off two mostly disappointing seasons [url=http://www.jetsjerseyproshop.com/spencer-long-jersey/]Spencer Long Jerseys 2019[/url] , Hill struggled from the beginning of training camp and couldn’t find his way into the rotation. Hill mostly came off the bench in his final season at Central Florida, raising questions about his relationship with the coaching staff.Ziggy Ansah’s debut with the Seattle Seahawks was delayed as the new defensive end was inactive for the opener against Cincinnati.Ansah had practiced all week, but was a late addition to the injury report on Friday listed with a shoulder injury, and was listed as questionable. Ansah missed most of training camp while recovering from offseason shoulder surgery and a groin injury picked up during his rehab.Guard Mike Iupati (calf) was active for Seattle after going through his first full practice in more than a month on Friday.Tackle Cordy Glenn had already been ruled out by Cincinnati, meaning Andre Smith is expected to start at left tackle.Los Angeles Chargers kicker Michael Badgley is inactive after suffering a groin injury during Friday’s practice. Ty Long [url=http://www.jetsjerseyproshop.com/andre-roberts-jersey/]White Andre Roberts Jerseys[/url] , who was signed during the offseason, will handle both punting and placekicking duties against Indianapolis. Long handled both the past two seasons with the BC Lions of the Canadian Football League.The Cardinals are going to be thin on the offensive line without starting right tackle Marcus Gilbert (knee) and backups Lamont Gaillard and Brett Toth against Detroit.Wide receiver Michael Crabtree won’t play after being signed by the Cardinals on Aug. 21. The Lions are without starting linebacker Jarrad Davis (ankle) after his injury in a preseason game two weeks ago. Pre-draft rumors had the Jets trading down in the first round. Then, a day later, word was they wanted back into the second round for Georgia receiver Mecole Hardman.General Manager Mike Maccagnan confirmed the Jets had interest in moving into the second round but wouldn’t say for who. The team had no second-round selections after trading up for Sam Darnold in 2018.The Chiefs selected Hardman with the 56th overall choice.“I think sometimes if you have a pick within the round, it’s a lot easier to move up in the round [url=http://www.jetsjerseyproshop.com/andre-roberts-jersey/]Andre Roberts Jerseys 2019[/url] ,” Maccagnan said on NFL Media insider Ian Rapoport’s podcast. “But if you’re trying to get back into the second round and you don’t have a second-round pick per se in that year’s draft, it makes it a little more difficult. There’s a lot of situations where we had talked to teams and quite a few scenarios where teams opted to not want to make a trade and felt good about the players on the board and took the player respectively. But that’s part of the draft process you go through.“In the end we never found a team that was going to be in a position to facilitate a trade with us. We sort of stayed put, kept our picks, kept our future picks and we felt we got some good players in the third round.”The Jets ended up staying put in the first round, selecting Alabama defensive tackle Quinnen Williams despite calls from other teams. The Bills reportedly were among the teams with interest in moving up.“It was never a situation where we were trying to get out of the third pick [url=http://www.jetsjerseyproshop.com/neal-sterling-jersey/]White Neal Sterling Jerseys[/url] ,” Maccagnan told Rapoport. “We actually felt very comfortable being there. We said very publicly we were going to get a very good player at three. But we went through our process in talking to teams.“I think when we were sitting there with our situation, I think we looked at the possibility of trading back or trading out of the spot. But when we were on the clock and talking to teams, there was never really a trade offer that we felt was strong enough to make us move basically when it was all said and done. That being said, we were very happy to take what we felt was one of the top players in the draft at that spot and went forward with it.” |
