    Pair of former Oregon Duck stars released by NFL teams on Monday

    Monday was a tough day for a pair of former Oregon Duck stars in the NFL. Quarterback Anthony Brown and safety Verone McKinley III were released by their respective teams.

    Brown was released by the Las Vegas Raiders a week ago and signed by the Buffalo Bills. In the Bills’ loss to the Carolina Panthers over the weekend, Brown played well, completing 11-of-12 passes for 102 yards. Ultimately, though, the Bills are apparently more comfortable with Mitchell Trubisky and Ben DiNucci serving as the backups for Josh Allen.

    McKinley suffered a similar fate for the Arizona Cardinals . He had a total of three tackles in Arizona’s game against the Denver Broncos over the weekend, giving him 11 tackles during the three-game preseason. The Cardinals decided to part ways with him, though.
