David Bell Comes Off PUP List
The Cleveland Browns activated rookie wide receiver David Bell (foot) off the Physically Unable to Perform list on Saturday.

Tyler Linderbaum Likely Out A Few Weeks
Baltimore Ravens first-round rookie center Tyler Linderbaum (foot) was injured in Friday's training camp practice and had an MRI exam that didn't show any real concerns.

James Proche II Playing Lights-Out In Training Camp
Baltimore Ravens third-year wide receiver James Proche II has been standing out at training camp this summer.

The former sixth-rounder... Read More

Jaycee Horn Making A Slow Recovery
Carolina Panthers cornerback Jaycee Horn's (foot) slow recovery from a foot injury from 11 months ago is a little disconcerting, according to The Athletic's Joseph Person.

C.J. Saunders Impressing Again This Summer
Carolina Panthers wide receiver C.J. Saunders impressed during last year's training camp as an undrafted free agent, but most wrote him off as an undersized receiver making the most of his repetitions in non-contact drills against second- and third-stringers. Saunders is impressing again this year, often against the starting secondary, and it's clear he's earned... Read More
Christian McCaffrey's Stock Is Rising
Although the Carolina Panthers are being cautious with running back Christian McCaffrey at training camp this summer after a rash of injuries the last two seasons, he's not exactly taking it easy either.

Tom Brady Returns To The Team
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is back at training camp practice on Saturday after a day off and some personal days. There's really nothing to see here.

Willie Snead Joins 49ers Roster
The San Francisco 49ers have agreed to a deal with wide receiver Willie Snead. The 29-year-old played in seven games last season between two teams.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have worked out running back Jalen Richard. The organization also worked out Wayne Gallman as they seek another back before the season begins.

Romeo Doubs Could Have Increased Role
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs has reportedly been impressing the organization. Peter King believes the fourth-round rookie is going to have a prominent role early in Green Bay.
