After losing backup quarterback Emory Jones to an injury Friday night, the Atlanta Falcons have signed a former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and XFL standout

After a two-touchdown performance on Saturday, Sean Payton knows that Troy Franklin's breakout season is upon us.

NFL broadcast partners need to be a little more discerning with their sources after another TV segment falls for fake Cowboys news.

The Denver Broncos have completed training camp, are 2-0 in the preseason after two dominating performances, and are now nearing the point where they will need to trim their roster down to 53 players.

It’s only a matter of time before the No Fun League’s Christmas triple-header becomes a foursome or fivesome. And with the orange and blue boasting a familiar/marketable coach (Sean Payton) and a hot, young/also-marketable QB1 (Bo Nix), it’s a good bet that they’re going to be on the Grinch’s TV sked for some time.

If the Broncos elect to keep just five interior defenders, that leaves one spot for players like rookie third-rounder Sai'Vion Jones, Eyioma Uwazurike, and Jordan Jackson. Even if the Broncos decide to keep six, that's two spots for three players in the mix.

Elsewhere on the ex-Broncos front, running back Royce Freeman, who was drafted by Denver in the third round of the 2018 NFL draft out of Oregon, worked out for Miami before the Dolphins opted to sign Boone. Freeman totaled 1,596 yards from scrimmage and scored nine touchdowns in three years (46 games) with the Broncos.

With most of the starters sitting out for both teams Denver Broncos backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham threw a pair of touchdown passes to Troy Franklin in a 27-7 rout of the Arizona Cardinals on Saturday night.
