Rookie Tony Ugoh is the early favorite to replace Tarik Glenn as the Colts' left tackle.
Rams CB Fakhir Brown wants to clear the air: He didn't fail the drug test that led to his 4-game suspension, he missed the test because he was working at his youth football camp. (And helping little old ladies cross the street, fetching cats who climbed to high in trees and removing Titliest's from the blowholes of beached whales)
The Minnesota Vikings are downplaying the forearm contusion suffered by RB Chester Taylor in today's practice.
Packers RB Vernand Morency will miss two weeks, opening the door for rookie RB Brandon Jackson to start this year.
After shipping Dante Hall across state to the Rams, the search is on in Chiefs camp for a new punt returner.
Ravens defensive coordinator had 340-pound Haloti Ngata blitzing from the middle linebacker spot. (Yikes)
Willie Parker's goal is to be like LaDainian Tomlinson, only better. (Which is about as realistic as my goal of one day being Scarlett Johannsen's bike seat)
The injury to Panthers LB Na'il Diggs doesn't look serious.
The injury to Jaguars C Brad Meester is serious.
Daunte Culpepper is heading to Oakland for a workout. Meanwhile, talks between the Raiders and #1 pick QB JaMarcus Russell are going nowhere fast.

NFL Training Camp Notes - July 28th, 2007
Your daily spin around the NFL, in links form.
The Packers got top pick DT Justin Harrell into camp the night before practices begin.
Minnesota WR Troy Williamson caught between 13,000 and 15,000 passes in an attempt to cut down on the dropsies. The first pass that came his way in training camp? Yep, it bounced off his hands.
Colts DT Corey Simon (yes, he still plays for them) plans to report to camp on Sunday. (The Colts wish they could implant Corey Simon's eagerness to play into the recently retired Tarik Glenn)
With Corey Dillon retiring, Patriots RB Laurence Maroney is going to have carry more of the load in his second season. (Better stock up on the Kool-Aid)
Chiefs camp opened sans Larry Johnson and Priest Holmes.
The Seahawks will be looking for their swagger when training camp opens on Sunday.
Baltimore has officially signed rookie guard Ben Grubbs to a 5-year contract worth between $8-11 million dollars. Grubbs will compete with Chris Chester for the starting right guard job.
Former cornerback and return man Devin Hester is adapting to his new WR position, and DT Tommie Harris practiced for the first time since Week 13 of last season.
Within this notebook in The Tampa Tribune, Jon Gruden compares the first regular season assignment rookie DE Gaines Adams will face, going head-to-head with Seahawks LT Walter Jones, to a rookie baseball player facing Nolan Ryan in his first at-bat.
One of Michael Vick's co-defendants in the Michael Vick dogfighting charges is discussing a plea deal with prosecutors. That doesn't bode well for Mr. Vick.
Hall-of-Fame QB Jim Kelly thinks this is a "do or die" year for Bills QB JP Losman.
I'll put it in simple words: Jets guard Pete Kendall is pissed. He's not happy that the Jets are unwilling to re-negotiate his contract (he wants $1M more per year) and he's not happy that the Jets have put him in the rookie dorms. He's also working with the 2nd unit on the offensive line. (And if you think Eric Mangini is being an asshole, remember this: He did work under Bill Belichick for a few years)
The 49ers have signed 3rd round DE Ray McDonald, leaving 1st round LB Patrick Willis as the lone unsigned 49ers draft pick.
Cowboys TE Jason Witten got some tips from former Cowboys TE Jay Novacek.
In the world of celebrity worship, is it really surprising that on Matt Schaub's first official day as a starting QB with the Houston Texans, all anyone wanted to talk about was his former teammate Michael Vick?
Every Jaguar rookie has signed.

NFL Training Camp Notes - July 27th, 2007
What's happening around the NFL on a Friday afternoon? Here's a sampling:
The Patriots and first round pick Brandon Meriweather are so close to a contract, the rookie safety could be on the field for the Patriots' 530pm practice today.
Larry Johnson is a no-show at Chiefs camp. (Good thing they got Priest Holmes!)
The Colts vow all the off-field pursuits won't be a distraction.
The Ravens have signed OG Ben Grubbs, their 1st round pick, to a 5-year deal worth as much as $11M.
Cardinals rookie OT Levi Brown could end up with a contract that guarantees him over $17M.
20-year old Amobi Okoye, the 1st round pick of the Houston Texans, has signed a 6-year contract worth $17.6M (including $12.785M in guaranteed funds). He could possibly be eligible for free agency by the time he's 25.
If you've never head of Cowboys defensive coordinator Brian Stewart, you are not alone. But he isn't lacking in the confidence department.
"I feel it should be the best defense in the NFL," Stewart said.
Of course, he added this caveat: "Everybody has to stay healthy and everybody has to play to their capabilities. But, that happens, we should be the best defense in the NFL."
The 49ers have signed 3rd round WR Jason Hill, and continue to talk to 1st round LB Patrick Willis.

A quick spin around the NFL:
Joe Rimkus Jr. of the Miami Herald writes that Dolphins rookie center Samson Satele is a "budding leader". (No wonder Ricky Williams wants to get back on the team)
Now that Lance Briggs has signed his 1-year tender, Mike Reiss of the Boston Globe wonders if a similar arrangement might be in the works for Patriots CB Asante Samuel.
Troy Williamson has been working with a vision specialist this off-season, and has caught between 13,000 and 15,000 passes this off-season.
The Vikings have signed 3rd round CB Marcus McCauley to a 4-year contract, but are still working on 1st round RB Adrian Peterson and 2nd round WR Sidney Rice.
The Seahawks are still without their top draft choice, and one of the problems could be that the guy chosen directly in front of him signed a 3-year contract, instead of the more standard 4-year contract.
Some non-Michael Vick news in Atlanta: Top choice DE Jamaal Anderson has agreed to terms, as have 2nd round CB Chris Houston and 6th round NT Trey Lewis.
Jason Whitlock of the Kansas City Star believes that Priest Holmes' comeback attempt is just a pawn in Carl Peterson's game against Larry Johnson.
The Packers have signed 2nd round RB Brandon Jackson to a4-year deal .
Buffalo has signed 2nd round LB Paul Posluszny, and 4th round RB Dwayne Wright.
John (Popper) Tomase of the Boston Herald chimes in with a few names to remember when the Patriots open camp tomorrow.
A bad toe is going to land Ravens LT Jonathan Ogden on the PUP list, but the team isn't at all concerned about it.
Steelers LB James Harrison can go from special teams ace to Joey Porter's replacement.

Kevin Seifert of the Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune notest that the Vikings enter training camp with "unprecedented inexperience" at the quarterback position.
New Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin got his player's attention in his first practice.
Nicholas Cotsonika of the Detroit Free Press checks in with five things to watch when Lions open training camp. (And not one of them has anything to do with firing Matt Millen)
Cam Cameron refuses to say that Trent Green is his starting QB. (As long as his competition is Cleo Lemon, I think it's safe to assume Green will be the guy. Unless he runs into Robert Geathers again.)
The Chargers did nothing in the off-season...and feel pretty good about it.
As noted yesterday, the Seahawks signed a pair of defensive draft picks and have only one draft choice not under contract. (Due to the rookie pool, I'd expect this one to be completed before camp opens on Thursday)
Curtis Martin will retire tomorrow.
The Cardinals and their top two draft picks agree on the structure of contract, but still have to sort out the pesky "money" part.
Even with the losses of Jeff Garcia and Donte Stallworth, there is hope for the Philadelphia Eagles. (Mac's response: "No shit")
A day after signing their Tank, the Chiefs have signed their Turk.
It's an important year for a pair of Ravens wideouts.
Re-signing Marc Bulger is priority #1 for the St. Louis Rams.
A few Patriots will start out camp on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list, including Pro Bowl DE Richard Seymour.
The always enjoyable Pat Yasinskas of the Charlotte Observer makes his case for the Atlanta Falcons to look at Chris Weinke as a backup to Joey Harrington.
Tarik Glenn will be missed, and Bob Kravitz of the Indianapolis Star thinks Tarik Glenn is an admirable person, as well as a Ring of Famer.
Broncos safety Sam Brandon needs another microfracture procedure on his knee, and in today's NFL, that means he's going to be released.

The St. Louis Rams top picks remain unsigned.
Top picks also remain unsigned in Minnesota, Arizona, and everyone else in the Top 10.
This week is probably the ideal time for Atlanta Falcons second-year safety Jimmy Williams' citation for misdemeanor marijuana possession to come to light.
In the same week his cousin Padraig won the British Open, the Atlanta QB job is all Joey's.
Still no word in Indianapolis about whether or not Tarik Glenn is actually retiring, and the Colts are not about to pressure a decision from him.
Brian Burwell of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch believes the Rams need to show Bulger some R-E-S-P-E-C-T during contract talks. (Actually, I think they just need to show him some M-O-N-E-Y)
Day One of Steelers Camp is in the books.

Hot Routes - Sunday, July 22nd, 2007
Mike Chappell of the Indianapolis Star suggests that Tarik Glenn's retirement "could leave Colts' line with dilemma". (Really?)
First year head coach Ken Whisenhunt is getting things ready for Cardinals camp in Flagstaff, Arizona. Those who cannot pass the first physical test, a 300-yard shuttle, "will be dealt with accordingly".
Jim Haslett thinks that the Rams can be a middle-of-the-pack defense in 2007. (Aim high, Jim. Aim high.)
As the NFL's all-time leading rusher, it's obvious Emmitt Smith is a great football player. As the winner of ABC's "Dancing With the Stars", it's clear that Emmitt Smith is a pretty good dancer. As evidenced by this article, Emmitt Smith is the last person MIchael Vick wants testifying on his behalf, even though Smith's intentions are good.
From the article: "Now, granted he might have been to a dogfight a time or two, maybe five times, maybe 20 times, may have bet some money, but he's not the one you're after. He's not the one you're after, he's just the one whose going to take the fall — publicly."
Hey Emmitt, you're not helping. If Vick was even at one dogfight that took place on the property in Surry County, Virginia he owns, he's guilty of the charges listed in the indictment. He always would be found to have lied to everyone about his involvement, as his only public statements have been that he's "never there" when referring to the property he owns in Surry County, Virginia.
At least one person in Dallas isn't drinking the Kool-Aid.
The Chiefs are getting younger.
The NFL has given Oakland's Jarrod Cooper an involuntary 4-game vacation for violating the league's anabolic steroids policy.
Mark Cannizzaro of the New York Post writes that running back Thomas Jones is an upgrade for a Jets running attack that scared no one in 2006.
As we head into training camps, here are 5-10 questions about the: Carolina Panthers, Denver Broncos, New York Giants, Kansas City Chiefs, New York Jets, Chicago Bears, Philadelphia Eagles, Houston Texans, Cincinnati Bengals, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Titans are optimistic.
Jay Cutler has a lot to prove.
Browns QB Charlie Frye realized that the odds are against him after going to a Kenny Chesney concert and hearing the crowd roar when the singer in the opening band came on stage wearing a Brady Quinn jersey.
