Ramsey to follow Tyreek in opener

Pats acquire Korey

-

KANSAS CITY, Aug 29, (RTRS): Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey will be matched up against Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill throughout the Sept 8 season opener in Jacksonvil­le, according to defensive coordinato­r Todd Wash.

“He’s going to d r aw Tyreek, and he’s got to cover hm i ,” Wash told reporters o n Wednesday. “We’re very blessed. Our linebacker­s can run. All of our guys can run. We can just say, ‘Hey, Jalen, you go take care of him.’”

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones doesn’t seem concerned about starting the regular season without star running back Ezekiel Elliott.

“We’ve got a marathon here,” Jones said on 105.3 FM The Fan. “We want Zeke when we get to the playoffs. We want Zeke when we’re in the dog days of the season.” Washington Redskins holdout Trent Williams has shown no signs of returning to the team, but team president Bruce Allen still thinks it will happen.

Asked if he expects the stalwart left tackle to come back, Allen told Washington television station WRC, “Well I think Trent is going to play football, yes. ... I don’t see Trent retiring.”

The NFL denied the

Cleveland Browns’ petition to allow Kareem Hunt to remain with the team while serving his eight-game suspension.

League spokesman Brian McCarthy told Cleveland.com that the running back is barred from the Browns facility during his entire suspension, which begins Sunday and ends Nov 4.

Back on the practice field after a two-week layoff, San Francisco 49ers running back

Jerick McKinnon experience­d another setback Tuesday in his return from a torn ACL.

General manager John Lynch told KNBR on Wednesday the news is “not encouragin­g.” The Arizona Cardinals traded offensive tackle Korey Cunningham to the New

England Patriots for a sixthround draft pick, ESPN reported.

Cunningham announced on social media that he’d been dealt to the Patriots, who need a swing tackle behind starters Isaiah

Wynn and Marcus Cannon.
