• Florida vs. No. 14 Utah (Thursday, 8 p.m.)
The Utes are playing coy with the availability of tight end Brant Kuithe and quarterback Cam Rising.
Now that 53-man rosters are set for the 2023 NFL season, it’s a good time to assess the skill-position groups for all 32 teams.
We did a ranking of the top 15 way back in March, before the NFL draft. Plenty has changed since then. And not only did we rank every group in the league, but we also decided to list the five best skill players (wide receiver, running back, tight end) on every team.
Some teams are stacked at wide receiver, while others have a more balanced attack with dynamic running backs and tight ends.
After more than a month away from football activities due to a calf injury, Joe Burrow made his return to the practice field for the Bengals on Wednesday. Ja’Marr Chase, Burrow’s top target dating back to their college days at LSU, has been taking a very cautious stance with the quarterback’s health, but he is encouraged by how his teammate looked at practice.
“He looked good,” Chase said, per ProFootballTalk. “I didn’t see hobbling. I didn’t see much. He doesn’t look like he’s having any problems.
“When Joe’s out there, it’s a little more dialed in.
“You can’t see him do rehab. You can’t see all the stuff that he does to get back on the court,” Vučević said of Ball. The veteran center understands the point guard’s importance to the Bulls and how the team is under pressure to improve on last season.
Fred Couples, an assistant captain for the U.S. Ryder Cup team, predicted just last month that Cam Young would receive a spot on the team. “Cam Young will be in Italy” were Couples’ exact words. Now that Zach Johnson didn’t use one of his six captain’s picks on Young, and instead went with the somewhat controversial pick of Justin Thomas, Couples is all aboard the JT train.
Johnson ultimately went with Jordan Spieth, Sam Burns, Brooks Koepka, Rickie Fowler, Collin Morikawa, and Thomas with his captain’s picks.
Exhale, Mike McCarthy, you’re safe (for now). But unlike the Cowboys coach, these 5 coaches are entering the season with their jobs hanging in the balance.
