Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth is the team's unquestioned No. 1 tight end and "the heartbeat of this offense," according to Mark Kaboly of The Pat McAfee Show.

DeVonta Smith Back at Practice on Sunday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (back) returned to practice in pads at training camp on Sunday after missing the previous four practices with back tightness.

In other moves, the Rockies placed right-handed reliever Seth Halvorsen (elbow) on the 15-day injured list with an elbow strain and recalled righty Nick Anderson and catcher Braxton Fulford.
