Philadelphia Eagles coach Chip Kelly told reporters Thursday that wide receiver Jeremy Maclin -- on the mend from last year's torn ACL -- has been "doing fantastic" in the first week of OTAs.

The Philadelphia Eagles decided to stay close to the ground with their first free-agent moves of the Chip Kelly era, eschewing the marquee names to sign five solid starters.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton had a memorable slide on a 15-yard scramble, while Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub got off to a hot start in Saturday's preseason contest.

Jon Beason will have to wait a bit longer before he takes the field again for the Carolina Panthers. After tweaking his hamstring Wednesday, the middle linebacker is unlikely to play Saturday.
