Pittsburgh Steelers rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett struggled in his second training camp practice on Thursday, throwing an interception on his first live, team-period repetition.

Head coach Mike Tomlin […]

Lamar Jackson's Throws Have More Zip On Them

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson bulked up in the offseason, and it has shown on his throws so far in training camp. He has thrown the ball with more velocity and had tighter spirals.

Miles Sanders Working With Second-Team Offense

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders is getting carries with the second-team offense in training camp practice on Friday.

Edwin Rios Starting Rehab Assignment Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman/outfielder Edwin Rios (hamstring) will begin his minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, starting at third base and batting second.
