Downs looks the part early in Dallas

Caleb Downs was the headline name in Dallas' defensive overhaul this offseason, and the early word out of camp suggests the rookie safety is settling in fast.

That kind of praise tends to follow first-round picks around in August, but in Downs' case, it sounds genuine, as it's not the first time we've heard positive praise this summer.

Bills lock up guard O'Cyrus Torrence

Buffalo made sure at least one contract situation wrapped up today, agreeing to a four-year, $78.4 million extension with right guard O'Cyrus Torrence.

The deal includes $46 million guaranteed and makes the 26-year-old the league's seventh-highest-paid guard, keeping him under contract through 2030.

Head coach Joe Brady wasn't shy about the praise at his pre-practice press conference Friday, calling Torrence "one of the top guards in football."

Watson strikes back in the Browns QB race

The leader in Cleveland's quarterback race has been swinging back and forth between Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson since Spring.

In yet another report that could mean absolutely nothing, Watson seemingly gained the edge on Wednesday with his best outing in some time.

The veteran went 17 of 20 through the air without a single interception and found the end zone seven times, giving head coach Todd Monken plenty to chew on.

Brown and Gonzalez nearly come to blows

A.J. Brown is a Patriot now, and Christian Gonzalez learned this week that it doesn't make life any easier.

After the All-Pro corner got the better of Brown in a rep, the two began jawing and had to be separated by wide receiver Kayshon Boutte.

Gonzalez brushed off the incident afterwards, telling reporters there's "no disrespect" between the two.

Let's chalk this one up to not-so-healthy competition between two of the league's best. Iron sharpening iron.

Steelers reveal first depth chart

Pittsburgh put in its longest practice of camp on Thursday, a marathon 150-minute session, and came away from it with a couple of new injuries.

Rookie first-round tackle Max Iheanachor picked up an upper-body issue, while cornerback Brandin Echols was seen icing his ankle afterwards.

The team also released its first depth chart of the summer, with Jaylen Warren listed above free agent addition Rico Dowdle in the backfield and Roman Wilson slotting in as WR3.

Commanders add Stefon Diggs at WR

Washington's receiver room was thin behind Terry McLaurin, and Brandon Aiyuk looked like the answer until he started firing off social media jabs at his old college teammate Jayden Daniels.

Instead, it's Stefon Diggs, released by the Patriots earlier in the year, who has turned his tumultuous year off the field into a deal to join the Commanders.

The four-time Pro Bowler agreed to terms with Washington on Wednesday, arriving on the back of yet another 1,000-yard campaign.

Mahomes looks healthy in K.C.

Every report out of Chiefs camp reads like Patrick Mahomes never had knee surgery in the first place.

Rashee Rice returned to team drills this week too, a boost for a receiver room that's been without Xavier Worthy (shoulder) and rookie Cyrus Allen, who missed a bit of time with a shin injury.

Allen is back again, and if you missed it, has been one of the surprise rookie standouts in camp so far.
