Cowboys | Amari Cooper happy with chemistry with QB
Dallas Cowboys WR Amari Cooper said he has natural chemistry with QB Dak Prescott and believes they can be more productive this upcoming season.

Steelers | Coach expects more from James Washington
Pittsburgh Steelers WR James Washington will have a bigger role in the passing game in 2019, and head coach Mike Tomlin said he expects great things from Washington.
Footballguys View: Washington has talent but didn’t flash much as a rookie in 2018. He’s got long arms and great ball-tracking ability which can be featured on big throws down the field. With Antonio Brown (Raiders) traded away, the Steelers are looking for talent to elevate at the wide receiver position behind JuJu Smith-Schuster.
NFL | No knee brace for Dwayne Haskins
Ohio State QB Dwayne Haskins wore a knee brace this past season for health precautions but said he does not plan to wear a brace in the NFL.
Footballguys View: Good news for Haskins here. He’s not a mobile quarterback and won’t make anyone miss on the ground. Haskins is a pocket passer who does a good job of getting the ball out on time to the first or initial read. Problems arise when Haskins is asked to abandon the pocket or work off-script. Haskins will be a first-round pick in the 2019 NFL draft.
Cowboys | Travis Frederick cautiously optimistic
