Bears legit might have the #1 pick.
If Jay Cutler goes down there's a high chance they'd be in the Top 3. Team's already packing a dreadful secondary that will be eaten alive again this year, and if Jimmy Clausen is tasked with throwing them back into high-scoring games... :x
Really don't know how they're going into this season without a better backup quarterback than him.
Glover Quin: Don’t blame the preseason, God meant for Jordy Nelson to get hurt
View media item 1686382

When Packers receiver Jordy Nelson suffered a serious knee injury in Sunday’s preseason game, it intensified the already prevalent questions around the league about whether it’s time to cut back on the preseason. But one NFL player believes that there’s no point in doing that.
Lions safety Glover Quin said today that God will decide every player’s fate, and changing the NFL’s preseason schedule can’t change that.
“I hated Jordy got hurt, but in my beliefs, and the way I believe, it was — God meant for Jordy to get hurt,” Quin said. “So if he wouldn’t have got hurt today, if he wouldn’t have played in that game, if he wouldn’t have practiced anymore, and the next time he walked on the field would have been opening day, I feel like he would have got hurt opening day. So in that sense, now they’ve got three weeks to make adjustments and prepare before opening day, as opposed to it happening opening day and now you’re in the season and now Jordy gets hurt. It happening in the preseason, you hate that it happened, but that gives them time to make adjustments and try to find something.”
Quin is entitled to believe that God decides everything that will happen on a football field, but if we follow his logic, where do we stop? Should the NFL not bother with any player safety rules because God will decide which players get hurt? Should NFL teams not bother having doctors on the sidelines because God will decide which players to heal?
Although Quin made clear that he respects Nelson and feels badly for any fellow player who gets hurt, his comments don’t make a lot of sense. The NFL has an obligation to take steps to keep players safe, and it would be wrong for the league to simply shrug off injuries as God’s will.

As usual, the first-team offense is starting indoors. Jeff Janis is not with them. He's outside with scout team. Montgomery with first shot.

Tempers boiled over in #Vikings practice today when CB Josh Thomas apparently got mad & wrestled WR Donte Foster on ground until 2 separated
@ProFootballTalk: Ndamukong Suh: Dolphins have more defensive talent than Lions did last year http://t.co/nj5GmrapUl
They do have the SneakerPro's DPOY pick...
Because you somehow think that he will flourish enough to become DPOY in the first year after leaving Detroit...
... and you believe Detroit won't be majorly impacted by his departure.
at da same damn time. that's why.
Letroy Guion’s three-game suspension is upheld
Posted by Mike Florio on August 27, 2015, 3:59 PM EDT
Packers defensive lineman Letroy Guion was suspended three games by the NFL under the substance-abuse policy. He had appeal rights under a procedure that, as of September 2014, removed final say from the league office and exported it to an external panel.
The panel has now spoken, and the appeal has been upheld — only three days after a hearing on the situation.
The league has announced that Guion will miss the first three games without pay of the 2015 regular season. He’ll be eligible to return after the September 28 game against the Chiefs. The suspension begins following the preseason finale.
Guion was arrested in February on marijuana charges. He eventually reached a plea deal in the case.
Packers linebacker Datone Jones also has been suspended for the first game of the 2015 season for violation of the substance-abuse policy.
