NFL News Roundup: Jason Peters to visit Cowboys, Eagles trade Jalen Reagor to Vikings and more | August 31, 2022
Anticipation is building ahead of the new NFL season. All the mini-camps, training camps and preseason games are done and the real stuff will start very soon.
As is the case at this time of year, players are getting cut, signed or are simply out on the street waiting for an opportunity from another team. With that comes ample amounts of news and luckily, we have you covered.
On August 30, we saw Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson send social media into meltdown after he liked a picture of himself in a Miami Dolphins jersey. Jackson is notably a Florida native. It certainly doesn't bode well for the Ravens at the moment.
We also saw some new details emerge over Brian Robinson's attempted robbery. The Washington running back was shot twice, but luckily, both bullets missed any arteries, bones, or muscles in his leg.

Jalen Reagor traded to the Minnesota Vikings
Former Philadelphia Eagles first-round selection Jalen Reagor has a new home in the NFC after joining the Minnesota Vikings. The Eagles traded away their receiver for a 2023 seventh-round pick and a 2024 conditional fourth-round selection, as per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
In his two years in the league, Reagor has totaled 695 receiving yards and just three touchdowns in 24 games. He is still looking to kickstart his career in the NFL and will hope to do just that while turning out for the Vikings this season.
He will link up with Kirk Cousins and a Vikings offense led by Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen.
Chargers sign running back Sony Michel
The Los Angeles Chargers' running back room just got a little bit more crowded with the addition of two-time Super Bowl winner Sony Michel. The 27-year-old was a member of the Rams last year and has now joined their counterparts.
The #Chargers are signing RB Sony Michel, per sources. Another back in the fold for a loaded offense.
Michel was with the Dolphins this offseason but did not survive the final cuts to make the 53-man roster and the Chargers were quick to snap him up. He joins Austin Ekeler and Joshua Kelley as the Chargers' running backs for the 2022 NFL season.
