Patriots RB Shane Vereen may not be a workhorse, but he has an important role to play in New England’s offense.

The Jets will have their hands full with the Bears’ receivers.

Steelers defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau says of Panthers QB Cam Newton, “He’s the quintessential modern quarterback.”

Texans WR Andre Johnson is on pace to reach 950 career receptions in his 158th game, which would tie him with Marvin Harrison for the fastest pace ever to that milestone.

Eagles CB Cary Williams doesn’t give a damn about his reputation.

The Bears are happy for their old pal Devin Hester breaking the NFL return record on Thursday.

Lions WR Ryan Broyles has been inactive for the first two games of the season, but he’s hoping to get his chance.

Packers GM Ted Thompson will live and die with his philosophy of building a team by drafting talent and developing it.

The Vikings are preparing for a loud atmosphere in New Orleans.

Falcons WR Harry Douglas got some good news on the injury front.

The Panthers’ turnover margin is plus-6 through two games.

The father of Saints DE Cameron Jordan will be rooting against the Saints on Sunday.

The Bucs need to find a way to overcome adversity.

Rams defensive coordinator Gregg Williams says defensive end Robert Quinn is playing well against the run.

The Seahawks’ tackling has left something to be desired through two games.

The Niners have been outscored 35-3 in the final two quarters in the first two weeks.

Cardinals DL coach Brentson Buckner says Calais Campbell’s 10-tackle effort in Week Two “can be a regular day for him.”
