The NFL is edging ever closer to the regular season. A number of Week 1 preseason games have gotten underway and this also means there's plenty of news for us all to sink our teeth into. At this time of the year, the main thing that teams want to avoid is injuries. Unfortunately, some have gotten bitten by the injury bug, particularly Denver, after losing two players to season-ending injuries. August 10 saw some rather interesting updates. The Cleveland Browns announced that Deshaun Watson will start for the first time during their pre-season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars. It was a move that caught many off guard as the 26-year-old has an impending NFL appeal over his six-game suspension hanging over his head. Elsewhere, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers revealed what he has been doing with the team's new batch of wide receivers. He stated that he has been hard on them, while maintaining that it will only lead to better things for the team. That brings us to August 11. Legendary quarterback Tom Brady has stepped away from the team due to family reasons, Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said. Brady will be back after August 20. Tampa Bay would've notably completed their second preseason game against the Tennessee Titans by then. According to several reports, should Deshaun Watson's suspension increase, the Browns will look to acquire 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. It will likely only be for a year, but the Browns are eyeing Garoppolo as a back-up if Watson's situation goes south.
