Trade: 49ers are sending their former No. 3 overall pick Trey Lance to the Dallas Cowboys for a mid-round, per sources. Lance now gets a fresh start in Dallas.
Arch Manning has reportedly been “shining” in Texas’ fall camp practices.
Manning has reportedly been “incredibly accurate” and has showed “elite” athleticism.
Manning reportedly had a 70-yard TD run in a scrimmage in which he hit 20 MPH.
One anonymous Big 12 defensive coordinator reportedly believes Manning could “unseat” Quinn Ewers at some point.
A Manning QB with elite legs is a SCARY sight for everyone else 😳
A bright spot for the #Patriots offense was rookie WRs Demario Douglas and Kayshon Boutte. Boutte had four catches in opening team period that was his best sequence of the summer.
Douglas’s route-running showed out on a crosser and whip route.
Former Bucs and New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski says there one coach and team he would consider coming out of retirement for, the New York Giants and Brian Daboll.
#Titans WR Treylon Burks suffered an LCL sprain during practice today, sources say after the MRI. This is good news, as Burks should only miss a few weeks. A scare, but a solid result considering.
The @Patriots are going to try and play a style of football they did in the early 2000’s and one that only 1 team in the AFC will—Tenn—
Great defense
Dominate on the ground
Efficient pass game that’s matchup driven
As always, zig when they zag
Update: The #Browns are starting rookie 5th round pick, QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson, over the more veteran Kellen Mond, for their 3rd pre-season game, per @MaryKayCabot
So far this pre-season DTR has been great:
134.92 QB Rating
17-21 passing
184 Yards
2 TDs
0 INTs
8.76 Yards Per
He also rushed for 47 yards.
In the Browns first pre-season game, Mond started over DTR.
San Francisco 49ers Head Coach Kyle Shannahan says that Brock Purdy would have to melt in practice to lose starting job.
In essence this is not a competition. 👀

*Going to be interesting means there is a wide range of outcomes for teams and being below "mid" does not mean the teams in that category are worse*
The #Patriots are expected to sign former #Cowboys star RB Ezekiel Elliott to a 1-year deal worth up to $6M after his successful FA visit earlier in camp, per me and @TomPelissero. Some backfield help for NE and a new home for Zeke… who plans to rock his No. 15 from college.
Several scouts think the Detroit Lions Aidan Hutchinson could have a breakout season with 15-20 sacks.
Hutchinson has been spending some time with JJ Watt this offseason, picking his brain.
