Rise ‘n Grind: Will Ray Rice ever make it back to the NFL?

All your NFL news in one convenient place!

Matthew Emmons-USA TODAY Sports

UNEMPLOYABLE: Will Ray Rice get another chance in the NFL? There's a case to be made that he deserves another chance, since the league is fine with Greg Hardy and other players with a spotty past. On the other hand, being a running back these days doesn't make one more employable in the NFL.

NOT INTERESTED: The Bills were reportedly interested in Ray Rice. And then they weren't. Buffalo did add QB Matt Sims to the roster.

JOHNNY WATER BOTTLE: In Manziel’s defense, it’s hard to blame him for throwing a water bottle at a fan who’s being an ass. Also, if you’re age 18 or older, please do not ask for autographs.

SNEAK PEAK: Well, well, well ... PFT Commenter happened to get his hands on a leaked copy of the Hard Knocks script.

EAGLES OVER BOYS: Are the Eagles the early favorites to win the NFC East ... over the Cowboys even?

BATTLING IT OUT: Devonta Freeman and rookie Tevin Coleman are in a dead heat for the Falcons primary running back job.

WORLD LEAGUE 2?: There’s a report out in New Zealand that says the NFL is preparing to host exhibition games there with players who didn’t make a 53-man roster.

CONVERSION: Here’s a fun fact about the Cowboys offense: they converted more than 47 percent of all their third down opportunities. The question now is whether they can continue that this season or swing back to the mean.

PROS BEFORE BROS: Brace yourself, professional football players are doing well at unpadded football practice. HUGE news, but if you’re a 49ers fan right now, you’ll take it.

SURVIVOR: Giants punter Steve Weatherford survived a car crash on the NJ Turnpike this weekend.
