Kolton Miller Opening As First-Team Left Tackle

Oakland Raiders rookie left tackle Kolton Miller has opened training camp as the first-team left tackle. It wouldn't be a surprise if Miller remains there through the end of camp, too.

Lamar Miller Down To 217 Pounds

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller said he's down to 217 pounds, which is the lightest he's played at since he was with the Dolphins.

Danny Amendola Working With First Unit

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola worked with the first unit alongside Devante Parker and Kenny Stills in the first training camp practice, which left Albert Wilson to mostly work with the second unit.

New England Patriots wide receiver Phillip Dorsett worked inside during training camp practice on Thursday, which is a new role for him.

Carlos Rodon Attracting A Lot Of Interest

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Carlos Rodon is attracting a lot of trade interest with his high-90s fastball.

He's been great recently and holds a […]

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Blake Snell (shoulder) played catch on Thursday and plans to increase the intensity and distance the next two days before throwing a bullpen session on Sunday.

Aaron Judge Going For MRI, CT Scan

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge's (hand) X-rays were inconclusive, so he is now going for an MRI exam and CT scan, according to manager Aaron Boone.
