The Arizona Cardinals released LB Matt Longacre Sunday, July 28. He was signed Wednesday, July 24.

Houston Texans RB Josh Ferguson is still regarded as the leading candidate for the team’s third running back role, according to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle. Lamar Miller and D’Onta Foreman are locked in the No. 1 and No. 2 spots.

Footballguys View: It sounds like Ferguson is in line to get some passing down work and Foreman will get early down work. Miller should get enough touches to justify his ADP, but if Foreman comes on as a runner it could muddy the waters.

Cincinnati Bengals WR A.J. Green (ankle) will get a second opinion on his injured ankle. He’s not currently expected to require surgery, but he and the Bengals will get additional information before making a proper plan for his treatment.

Footballguys View: This is usually isn’t a good thing. Surgery isn’t on the table now, but Green might not have liked something about the diagnosis or felt it didn’t match what he was experiencing. This situation could change, and not for the better.

Updating a previous report, Cincinnati Bengals WR A.J. Green (ankle) is expected to be sidelined six to eight weeks after tearing ligaments in his ankle during a practice at the University of Dayton’s Welcome Stadium as part of the NFL’s 100th-anniversary celebration. He isn’t expected to be ready for the regular-season opener at the Seattle Seahawks.

Footballguys View: Green will fall out of the third round and maybe farther, a lot farther. Not only will this likely cost him games, but who knows how many games it will take to get to full speed, and the risk of re-injury. The sixth round sounds about right for where his ADP will level off.

Oakland Raiders WR Hunter Renfrow has been a stand out during the first few days of training camp due to his route-running and hands. ‘We’re really excited,’ said offensive coordinator Greg Olson.

Washington Redskins QB Alex Smith (leg) has attended all of the team’s quarterbacks meetings during training camp, according to head coach Jay Gruden. ‘I think he’s just a calming influence for them,’ Gruden said of Smith. ‘He’s very supportive for each individual guy, he’ll get on them when he needs to get on them a little bit, in a fun-loving kind of way but he’s just a great presence to have in the quarterback room and we obviously welcome it whenever he wants to come in here.’

Kansas City Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill said Sunday, July 28, he had a long conversation with team owner Clark Hunt after being cleared to rejoin the team and admitted ‘I have to work on my life skills.’

Free-agent RB James Butler signed with the Oakland Raiders on Sunday, July 28. In a corresponding move, the Raiders waived RB Chris Warren.

RB Melvin Gordon and the Los Angeles Chargers are reportedly $2 million to $3 million apart in discussions on average salary.

Miami Dolphins WR Albert Wilson (hip) is in full pads and practicing Sunday, July 28.
