Washington Commanders tight end Armani Rogers (Achilles) suffered a non-contact Achilles injury during organized team activities on Tuesday, and there is no timetable for his return.

Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said that rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud has "done an excellent job" early on during organized team activities.

Parris Campbell Likely To Get First Shot In The Slot

Given New York Giants wide receivers Wan'Dale Robinson's and Sterling Shepard's season-ending injuries in 2022, newcomer Parris Campbell, who is coming off the best season of his career with 63 catches and 623 yards with the Indianapolis Colts, will likely get the first shot as the team's primary slot option in 2023.

Updating a previous report, Houston Astros manager Dusty Baker said that second baseman Jose Altuve (illness) left Tuesday's game early against the Milwaukee Brewers because he was feeling sick.
