Late slip for us on this, but Washington linebacker Reuben Foster suffered a knee injury in practice on Monday that is believed to be a torn ACL.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have released former All-Pro defensive tackle Gerald McCoy.

Our tour of the league's uniforms takes us out west, where the 49ers have gone retro and the Seahawks and Cardinals ... haven't. And what should the Rams do when they introduce new uniforms to go with their new stadium?

ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting that Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson will be suspended six games for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing drug policy.

In the second half of our series on NFL injuries in 2018, we break things down by position groups. Injuries to quarterbacks, running backs, and linebackers are down. Injuries are way up everywhere else, and in the defensive backfield, they are unprecedented.

The New York Jets have announced the firing of general manager Mike Maccagnan. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that vice president of player personnel Brian Heimerdinger has also been fired.

Our first look at injury data from the 2018 season reveals some plain truths: injuries are on the rise; Washington and Jacksonville had historically bad luck on offense last year; and no team we've ever analyzed has suffered more injuries on defense than last year's Buccaneers.

The Miami Dolphins and Xavien Howard have agreed to a contract extension that will make the cornerback the NFL's highest-paid player at his position.

The Seattle Seahawks have officially released safety Kam Chancellor and wide receiver Doug Baldwin with failed physical designations.

Chancellor has not played since injuring his neck in Week 9 of 2017 against Arizona. For contractual/financial reasons, neither player nor team ever used the word "retired" to describe him, but it has been expected for some time that he would never play again.

Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Telvin Smith announced via Instagram today that he will not play football in 2019.

"At this time, I must take time away from this game [and] get my world in order," Smith said in his statement. "I must give this time back to myself, my family, [and] my health. I appreciate all the support I will [and] will not get."

Smith went on to say he was not requesting a trade, nor announcing his retirement.
