Giants Work Out Eric Ebron

The New York Giants worked out a group that included free-agent tight end Eric Ebron on Monday.

With Baltimore Ravens running backs J.K. Dobbins (knee) and Gus Edwards (knee) opening training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list, the team signed free-agent running back Corey Clement to an undisclosed deal, according to a source.

Roquan Smith Set For Holdout

Chicago Bears All-Pro linebacker Roquan Smith will not be participating in training camp when veterans are scheduled to report on Tuesday, according to sources.

Steelers Release Trey Edmunds

The Pittsburgh Steelers released running back/fullback Trey Edmunds on Monday, according to a source.

Joshua Palmer Expected To Become No. 3 Receiver

The Athletic's Daniel Popper expects Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer to distance himself as the clear No. 3 receiver during training camp, behind Keenan Allen and Mike Williams.

Julian Blackmon Ready For Training Camp

The Indianapolis Colts didn't place an injury designation on safety Julian Blackmon (Achilles) to begin training camp, which is an excellent sign after coming off a torn Achilles last year.

Kyle Rudolph To Inherit Most Of Rob Gronkowski's Workload

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Kyle Rudolph figures to inherit the bulk of Rob Gronkowski's workload this year.

The […]

Drew Pomeranz Could Begin Rehab Assignment This Week

San Diego Padres left-handed reliever Drew Pomeranz (elbow) could begin a minor league rehab assignment this week, although skipper Bob Melvin said it's unknown whether Pomeranz would instead throw another simulated inning.
