Dolphins | Quinn Ewers progressing Thu Aug 20, 06:16 PM
Miami Dolphins QB Quinn Ewers (groin) was able to do some throwing Wednesday, Aug. 19, and is making progress in his recovery, according to head coach Jeff Hafley.
| Footballguys view: As the primary backup to Malik Willis, the Dolphins are going to be wisely cautious with Ewers. He was injured last Friday and is back throwing in less than a week. Groin injuries can be tricky, but it sounds like he should be ready to hold a clipboard and be "one play away" come Week 1. |

Commanders | Rachaad White suffers hamstring injury Thu Aug 20, 11:37 AM
Washington Commanders RB Rachaad White (hamstring) reportedly suffered a hamstring injury during the Commanders' joint practice with the Miami Dolphins.
| Footballguys view: White will likely miss this Saturday's preseason game with the Detroit Lions, but the injury is not considered a long-term issues. Reports indicate Jacory Croskey-Merritt is flashing enough as a pass catcher this offseason to position himself for the largest role in the backfield. The group is a bit of a cluster-you-know-what, but Croskey-Merritt is the highest-drafted of the group (RB40). The Commanders' backfield is battling a few injuries right now with White (hamstring), Jeremy McNichols (quad), and Jerome Ford (hamstring) all banged up. |
