Mike Gesicki Blocking More In Training Camp

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki hasn't seen many targets in 11-on-11 work through four training camp practices so far.

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor isn't putting a timetable on when quarterback Joe Burrow (appendix) will return to training camp practices after undergoing an appendectomy earlier this week.

Zach Wilson Inconsistent Early In Training Camp

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson looked more comfortable dealing with pressure from the defensive line at training camp practice on Friday than he did the day prior, but two of his three incompletions on the day were interceptions.
