NFL Injury Report

Ryan Jensen, C TB - The starting center for the Buccaneers was carted off with what appears to be a left knee injury. Would be a big loss to not have the Pro Bowler

Clyde Edwards-Helaire, RB KC - the runningback was activated for day 1 of camp

Michael Thomas, WR NO - Michael Thomas made sure to let doubters know that he was listening paying attention to what was being said about his recovery, as he showed up ready for camp

NFL Training Camp Updates

In this section, we’ll hit on anything interesting coming out of team’s camps that might help you win your fantasy leagues.

Veteran Julio Jones has landed in Tampa Bay to be the third wide receiver along with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. Russell Gage stans are in shambles.

Deshaun Watson got most of the first ream in reps in practice as the brass in Cleveland continues to bury their head in the sand regarding the inevitable suspension.

Evan Engram hit camp in mid-season form, managing to have notable drops in back-to-back days.

A.J. Brown wanted a new contract and the Eagles traded for him and gave him $100 million dollars. So obviously fellow wide receivers Deebo Samuel and DK Metcalf from the same draft class are also holding out for new contracts. Can you guess which of them uses the same agency as AJ Brown to represent them? (spoiler - it’s both of them). 

And of course, let's not forget that Aaron Rodgers showed up to camp doing his best Cameron Poe impression.
