Maurice Jones-Drew limited early in camp

Frank Gore will report to camp

49ers HC Jim Harbaugh says RB Frank Gore will report to training camp on Monday, ending his mini 4-day holdout. Phew. A prolonged holdout from Gore would’ve really put his 2011 fantasy stock on thin ice, as the injury prone 28-year-old needs to…

Cedric Griffin to join practice Monday

CB Cedric Griffin will be cleared to start practicing Monday, about 10 months after his 2nd torn ACL. The odds certainly aren’t in favor of Griffin returning from 2 such injuries to become an effective cover man. Frankly, he wasn’t the strongest cover …

Peyton Manning week-to-week

When discussing a timetable for his return from offseason neck surgery, Colts QB Peyton Manning said that "we will gauge it every couple of weeks or every week."  He continued: "I can’t really give you a timeline… I have…

Bernard Scott could (finally) see more touches

Bengals HC Marvin Lewis blames himself for not getting RB Bernard Scott more touches last season.  It’s about time someone fessed up for this atrocity!  Scott is an electric playmaker, but he’s averaged just 76 touches per year through his fi…

Cecil Shorts impressing early in camp

Jaguars rookie WR Cecil Shorts has been impressive early on in training camp.  “He’s off to a good start for not having the OTAs and the offseason work,” HC Jack Del Rio said. “He’s got some polish to him for a s…
