Broncos | Shaun Phillips bothered by back spasms

Denver Broncos LB Shaun Phillips (back) is officially listed as questionable for Week 3’s game against the Oakland Raiders after sitting out practice Saturday, Sept. 21, because of back spasms.

Footballguys View: The Broncos will watch this situation closely as they prepare for their Monday Night Football Game against the Raiders. Phillips is their top pass-rusher while Von Miller is suspended the first six games of the season. We’ll see them use him as a part time player who is asked to get after the quarterback.

Redskins | Brandon Meriweather will try to change tackling style

Washington Redskins FS Brandon Meriweather said he will try to change his tackling style after being fined $42,000 for a helmet-to-helmet hit but is not sure how effective that would be. ‘I think everybody has to change the way they tackle,’ Meriweather said. ‘They say hit low, but I done seen people get concussions from hitting low, too, you know? Honestly, I think it’s no real way, no real safe way, to play this game. You know what you signed up for. You know what it is. I think if you’re gonna do it, then you do it 100 percent.’
