PRESEASON WEEK 1

I would like to start off with an apology. I accidentally hit "x" over the game under the actions tab, which automatically dismissed the assignment and simmed the game. I will be sure to bring Pre Week 2 in good depth. Once again, sorry for the inconvenience.

Eagles Transactions
The following players have been cut from the roster:
FB Emil Igwenagu
QB G.J. Kinne
QB Dennis Dixon

Eagles Sign CB Ras-I Dowling

An overall weak secondary added another piece this Monday, as Jeffrey Lurie announced the signing of CB Ras-I Dowling for a 1 year, $670K contract. He is expected to compete for the slot position. Coach Chip Kelly had this to say of him: "A lot of raw talent comes with (Dowling's) signing. My job is to channel that raw potential into solid play on Sunday." Overall, very generic comments from the Head Coach.

Injury Report:
The 49ers suffered a pair of crucial injuries, losing both starting tackles Anthony Davis and Joey Staley. Although they are both expected to miss at most two regular season games, we will have to see how the lack of practice throughout the next month effects the overall effectiveness of the San Fran offensive line.

Jets DE Muhammad Wilkerson dislocated his knee during the game Sunday. The Jets have declined to comment about the seriousness of the injury. Additionally, Jets MLB Demario Davis broke his wrist and will be out for at least two months, doctors estimate. Other major injuries include Vikings center John Sullivan and Cardinals LE Calias Campbell. Both are expected to play in their respective season openers, however.

Preseason Week 2 Preview:
The battle for the starting QB position will officially begin next week. We will also get our first look at recently signed Ras-I Dowling. Next edition will be much longer so stay tuned!
