Eagles bring in Vince Young on one-year deal

Eagles agreed to terms with QB Vince Young on a one-year contract worth up to $5.5 million.

It didn't take V.Y. long to realize there was no market for him as a starting QB after failing to bring an NFL commitment-level to the table in Tennessee. A one-year stint as Michael Vick's backup is a smart move, allowing him to stay under the radar and enter the market again next year at age 29. While Young may struggle to pick up the West Coast offense in camp, he won't be asked to take the reigns anytime soon. Regardless, he's now the best insurance policy in the league, capable of keeping the team in contention even if the starter goes down.

Chargers cut Andre Williams after two weeks

Chargers waived RB Andre Williams.

With Antonio Gates sidelined, the Chargers needed to open a spot for TE Asante Cleveland. Getting waived after Danny Woodhead suffered a season-ending ACL injury is a bad sign for Williams, who was a healthy scratch the first two games. Williams could be re-signed next week if he clears waivers.

Willie Snead (toe) game-time decision for MNF

Willie Snead (questionable, toe) is a game-time decision for Week 3 against Atlanta.

Snead's status is up in the air after missing most of the practice week. He's "hopeful" of playing, but knows it'll come down to how he feels Monday. Even if Snead starts, the late game and possibility of a setback make him a risky WR3 play.

Pederson wants to get DGB 'more targets'

Eagles coach Doug Pederson said he wants to get Dorial Green-Beckham "more targets."

Green-Beckham had four targets Week 2 after seeing two in the season opener. "We actually had DGB targeted a couple of times from a play call standpoint in the red zone, it's just that the play design went to the other side of the field," Pederson said. "We've increased his workload the last week and we want to continue to do that and move him around the more comfortable he gets with our system." With no one really stepping up behind Jordan Matthews, Green-Beckham has a chance to establish himself as the No. 2 in Philly.

Delanie Walker unsure of Week 3 status

Delanie Walker (hamstring, questionable) sounded unsure about his Week 3 status.

"We’ll see how I feel [Saturday] and go from there," Walker said. "We’re just trying to do the best plan to see if I can play on Sunday." Those are not the comments of a player confident about playing. Even if he does suit up, Walker will likely be limited. Owners need to set up a backup plan.

Kubiak: Siemian still adjusting to NFL speed

Broncos coach Gary Kubiak said Trevor Siemian is still adjusting to the "speed of the game."

"He's made some poor decisions, athletic decisions," Kubiak said. "I know that sounds kind of crazy, but it's just learning that, 'Trevor, That guy can make that play. You're not in college anymore. You're not going to throw that ball through that guy.'" Siemian has three interceptions through two games, but Kubiak believes he is going to become more comfortable with the speed of the NFL each game. The young quarterback faces a tough test in Cincinnati this week.

Isaiah Crowell should keep lead-back job

ESPN Browns reporter Pat McManamon believes Isaiah Crowell will continue to be the lead back moving forward.

There was some concern Duke Johnson would take over as the lead back before the season, but Crowell has impressed with 195 yards and two scores through two weeks. Those numbers do not tell the whole story, however. Crowell earned 40 yards on three meaningless draws at the end of a loss Week 1, and he had an 85-yard touchdown last week. He has averaged just 2.7 yards on his other 26 carries. With the offense sure to nose dive with Cody Kessler under center, Crowell is a great sell high.

Bowles also not worried with Forte's workload

Jets coach Todd Bowles said he is not concerned about Matt Forte's early-season workload.

Forte is on pace for 472 touches, but neither OC Chan Gailey nor Bowles seems to care. "I like to see us successful," Bowles said. "If we can ride somebody, we’ll ride him, whether it be a receiver, quarterback or running back. It really doesn’t matter." Bilal Powell has been an afterthought this season, but he is a hold with the Jets seemingly intent on running the 30-year-old Forte into the ground.

Giants confident Jennings can play with cast

Giants OC Mike Sullivan said the team is confident Rashad Jennings (questionable) can adjust to the cast on his injured thumb.

"It’s something that’s not natural. He’s used to doing that without the cast," Sullivan said. "It’s definitely an adjustment that we have great confidence he’ll be able to make." Coach Ben McAdoo also said he is "comfortable" with his No. 1 back. It seems clear Jennings is going to play, but he could see limited touches after playing fewer snaps than Shane Vereen last week. Even in a good matchup, he is more of a FLEX play this week.

Shanahan plans to keep spreading ball around

Falcons OC Kyle Shanahan plans to keep spreading the ball around in the passing game.

"You don’t have to force it into tough looks. You can go where the coverage tells you," Shanahan said. "You might not have the same numbers for [Julio Jones] and stuff, but I think the result ends up improving the offense." Julio has nine catches for 172 yards and two scores already this year, but he is on pace for just 104 targets after seeing 203 last season. That pace will certainly pick up, but it seems clear he is not going to be the target monster he was the last two years. Even so, he will be an elite WR1 if he suits up Monday night.
