We can only get five right now, we've only been taking five, so that can change each week. And he's working hard, working in practice. We'll evaluate that each week as to what his role would be and how he can help us. But that's kind of where that is.

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Cardinals wide receiver Zay Jones will not play Thursday night against the Seattle Seahawks after not yet clearing concussion protocol, coach Jonathan Gannon said Wednesday. Jones suffered the injury on the last offensive snap of Sunday's 16-15 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, on which Jones had a pass knocked out of his hands on a crucial third-and-9. Gannon said he didn't know about Jones' injury until after his post-game press conference.

The New England Patriots followed up a Week 2 offensive explosion with an incredibly disappointing offensive display against the Steelers. Five turnovers from the offense were the most since a six-turnover performance in 2000 against the Jets. Four of those were fumbles, two coming from Rhamondre Stevenson, who led the league in fumbles last year. The Steelers turned the ball over via an interception thrown to Robert Spillane, but also had two fumbles that the Patriots were unable to pounce on.

One of the reasons Wednesday's on-field work was more quiet than usual was because of who was absent: wide receiver Rashee Rice. A few hours before the Chiefs' practice began, Rice, a three-year player and the No. 1 receiver for quarterback Patrick Mahomes, accepted a six-game suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy, punishment that the league made official Wednesday afternoon. Rice will not be eligible to return until the Oct. 7 home game against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 7.
