Indianapolis Colts RB Marlon Mack exits with hand injury vs. Jaguars

Nov. 17 (UPI) -- Indianapolis Colts starting running back Marlon Mack exited Sunday's matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars with a hand injury. Mack, who was having one of his strongest performances of the season, was knocked out of the game in the third quarter. He rushed 14 times for 109 yards, including four runs of at least 10 yards, and a touchdown before leaving with the injury. The Colts quickly ruled out Mack for the remainder of the game. League sources told NFL Media that Mack's hand injury could be significant. Jonathan Williams became the Colts' primary tailback following Mack's injury.

Josh Rosen’s stock rises as Dolphins beat Jaguars

Sports

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla., Aug. 22 (UPI) -- Jacksonville Jaguars defenders jostled the Miami Dolphins' offensive line and heckled Josh Rosen as he scanned the field for open teammates. Rosen hurdled over the pressure and continued to buy time, before firing a precise 39-yard pass downfield for a first down. That was just one of the spectacular sequences showcasing Rosen's talent during the Dolphins' 22-7 win against the Jaguars Thursday at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens. The Dolphins started Ryan Fitzpatrick and kept him in the game until bringing in Rosen in the third quarter. Rosen -- who is competing with Fitzpatrick for the starting job -- had the field goal at his back as he took over on the Dolphins' 1-yard-line. He was able to use his pocket presence and agility to escape pressure a...
