Updating a previous report, Dallas Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott’s appeal hearing for his six-game suspension will be resume Thursday, Aug. 31, as one of the key witnesses won’t be available until then, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Buffalo Bills DL Marcell Dareus was sent home ahead before the third preseason game on Saturday, Aug. 26, but he won’t face further discipline from the team after having a lengthy conversation with head coach Sean McDermott.

Minnesota Vikings QB Teddy Bridgewater (knee) has ‘progressed a lot’ in his recovery from a severe knee injury last offseason, according to head coach Mike Zimmer.

Footballguys View: Bridgewater could return this year for the Vikings, but it would be as a backup behind Sam Bradford. Zimmer added that Bridgewater must protect himself and show that he is able to make the necessary movements in order to succeed as a quarterback before returning to practice. Bridgewater’s future is up in the air as he’s set to be an unrestricted free agent in 2018.

Pittsburgh Steelers TE Vance McDonald was acquired because fellow TEs Jesse James and Xavier Grimble were ‘not consistently varsity enough,’ in the words of head coach Mike Tomlin. Tomlin did make it clear that McDonald will not be crowned the started right away and will need to compete for that job.

Footballguys View: Not varsity enough? Somebody needs to make a t-shirt of that slogan. McDonald has a high rate of drops and has been banged up quite a bit as a pro. If he’s healthy and plays with better concentration then McDonald should have no problem overtaking James for the top job.

Cincinnati Bengals CB Brandon Wilson (knee) passed his physical and was activated from the Non-Football Injury list.

Dallas Cowboys CB Leon McFadden (hamstring) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Tuesday, Aug. 29.
