Jaguars suspend two for fighting
Jacksonville suspended All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey and defensive end Dante Fowler for violating team rules and conduct unbecoming a Jaguars football player.
Neither one will make the trip to Minnesota on Tuesday for two days of joint practices and a preseason game. The teams play Saturday.
Fowler was involved in several fights Sunday, including one after practice with fellow defensive end Yannick Ngakoue. Ramsey shouted profanities at media members who caught the altercation on video.
The team released a onesentence statement Sunday evening announcing the suspensions. Head coach Doug Marrone is expected to address the decision Tuesday.
Ngakoue and Fowler exchanged words while walking off the practice field, prompting one skirmish . Ngakoue and Fowler got into it again outside the practice-field gates and had to be pulled apart by teammates, coaches and security personnel. General manager Dave Caldwell could be seen leading Ngakoue away by the wrist.
Eagles sign another QB: Philadelphia signed quarterback Christian Hackenberg and waived rookie offensive lineman Ian Park.
Hackenberg was selected in the second round of the NFL draft by the New York Jets in 2016 but didn’t play in a game. He was traded to the Raiders in May for a conditional 2019 draft pick and was released two weeks later.
The Eagles already have plenty of quarterbacks, but Hackenberg gives them another arm in camp while Carson Wentz continues his recovery following surgery to repair two torn knee ligaments. Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles missed practices last week but returned Saturday. Nate Sudfeld and Joe Callahan took the snaps in the preseason opener.
Saints bring in 2: Marcus Williams, meet Marcus Williams.
The New Orleans Saints signed cornerback Marcus Williams and safety Robert Nelson. The Saints now have two players in the secondary named Marcus Williams, the other being a second-year safety and 2017 second-round draft choice.
New Orleans waived guard Trevor Darling and defensive back De’Vante Harris.
Chiefs’ update: Kansas City right guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif left practice to be evaluated for a concussion, and defensive tackle Xavier Williams (stinger) and running back Damien Williams (shoulder) also left early.
Also, Eric Berry did not participate in practice after skipping the Chiefs’ preseason opener against Houston on Thursday night. The safety is dealing with a sore heel.
