DeSean Jackson said he can relate to what Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III is going through.

After Griffin lost the starting job on Monday, Jackson compared it with his leaving the Eagles after the 2013 season.

"It's just unfortunate he has to be in this situation like that," Jackson said on Tuesday.

"But this is the game we're in, this is the league we're in, this is the NFL. Nothing's for certain. I had to learn that for myself a couple years ago."

Coach Jay Gruden announced that Kirk Cousins will be the team's starter after Cousins performed well in Saturday's preseason game.

Griffin was unavailable for the game as he followed the league's concussion protocol.

CBS to stream games

CBS will stream some regular-season NFL games online for the first time.

The network said that the Oct. 4 matchup in London between the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins will be streamed. The kickoff is at 9:30 a.m. Eastern time. The Thanksgiving afternoon game between Carolina and Dallas will also be streamed.

The games will be available for free on laptops, desktops and tablets at

CBSSports.com and on televisions through certain TV devices.

Jets lose TE Amaro

Jace Amaro's shoulder injury is worse than initially expected.

The New York Jets placed the second-year tight end on season-ending injured reserve with a torn labrum in his left shoulder. Amaro was hurt in the Jets' preseason opener at Detroit and the injury was at first thought by the team to be a sprain.

Manziel improving

Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel dealt with a sore right arm before he even lifted the Heisman Trophy.

Manziel, who hasn't thrown a pass in practice since Aug. 23 because of elbow soreness and tendinitis, said those issues date back to his freshman year at Texas A&M, when he made a dazzling play almost every game for the Aggies.

The 22-year-old is confident that rest will help his elbow and the issue won't derail his NFL career.
