NFL Trade Rumors
Cardinals QB Kyler Murray said he is feeling better in the second year of his recovery from an ACL injury, noting that he was told Year 2 is when you finally begin to feel like yourself again.
“Now I feel like I’m back to where I was before that,” Murray said, via Josh Weinfuss of ESPN. “Obviously, my knee will probably never be the same as far as that goes. It’s just something you got to stay on top of. In totality of this team, this unit, I feel like, is definitely one of the best I’ve been a part of for sure.”
Rams WR Puka Nacua has seen the recent massive contracts and extensions signed by wide receivers and was asked how he feels about getting a big paycheck when his time comes.
“I try to do my best to stay completely present where my feet are,” Nacua said, via RamsWire.com. “It’s exciting to see guys to push the envelope for the wide receiver game and especially when I know Garrett Wilson … We played in the high school All-American game together, so to be like, man, that was somebody I was on the football field with at the same time and to have — congrats.

But we are going to take it a day at a time. He’s not going to be on a PUP or NFI list. What he’ll be able to do in the meantime is, some individual drills with [the training staff]. Some of that will be with coaches. Some of the jog-throughs. The actual physical stuff, he will not partake in right now. And we’ll just take it a day at a time with something of this nature.”
McVay reiterated that Jackson is “really feeling good” in practice.
*“But I do feel good about the plan we have in place that hopefully leads to him being able to go out there and compete with his teammates. I know he is really feeling good.
