Arizona Cardinals DT Walter Nolen (calf) suffered a calf injury during training and will miss some time, according to head coach Jonathan Gannon. Gannon said he does not know if the injury will force Nolen to miss the start of the regular season.

The Raiders released Wilkins (foot) on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
This news comes as a shocker, as the Raiders signed Wilkins to a five-year, $110 million dollar deal last March. Per Schefter, Las Vegas is releasing the defensive lineman with the designation of terminated vested veteran, and the organization voided the remaining $35.2 million of the guaranteed money left on his deal last month. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network adds that the Raiders and Wilkins have had an "ongoing dispute" over his foot injury, as Wilkins declined having a second surgery despite the team's request for him to go under the knife again to address the issue. Schefter reports that Wilkins filed a grievance with the NFLPA on Thursday, so it appears that the player and the organization are headed for a dispute over guaranteed money. Regardless of how that turns out, Wilkins' tenure with Las Vegas will end with him having played in just five games and tallying 17 tackles, including 2.0 sacks.

Jordan Hicks retires. After JOK injury. Browns can’t buy any luck this off-season.
Who becomes the other guy to own beside Schwesinger whose value should increase
Baker. Vet but has been brought in and cut quickly by few teams in lastbyear
Bush. - Former 1st rounder. Been with Browns for a few years now.
Diabete. Young guy who played last year. So-so results. Started ahead of Bush
Reid - Young guy who gets some promising reps
FA. Few out there. Bentley, White, Mosley maybe
Right now FBG has Baker in middle and Diabete as Strong side. Not that any of this matters as most run 4-2-5 these days in some capacity. .

I'm going to assume Baker, and keep an eye on Diabate.

LBs never get old. They just suddenly quit playing.

:crickets: I’ve got Speights, and I’d drop him for Landman. Reeder is dead to me.
Articles read
FBG loves Landman
Another site expects Reeder to be cut. Does not fit what DC likes
Another thinks Landman/Reeder will start but Speights and Paul will finish
Paul is guy who fits DC scheme the best. Fast, can cover and still plays the run nicely. So does Dolac.
It sounds like cluster but give me Paul long term

Raiders stuff:
Elandon Roberts seems like LB1, and Devin White and Pratt fighting for LB2. I would guess Pratt if forced to choose, but 3 safety looks seem like they will be a thing as they are light on CB. I'm very high on Chinn this year, I think he's going to be in favorable locations on the field. They also signed old friend Jamal Adams, and he's practicing with the LBs, so lot of moving parts.

Harmon looking the part so far.
“Derrick Harmon is already a monster,” Steelers Now beat reporter Alan Saunders wrote on July 24, live from training camp. “He started in the base defense, blew up a running play, batted down a pass, and he’s still at the very early edge of his learning curve in terms of technique and learning the defense.”
Saunders added that “[Harmon] can still get a lot better, but I think he’s in line for a special rookie season.”

He's back, and I haven't heard a word about limitations. Full steam ahead I think.
Entering his contract year as well, so expect full wanna-make-life-changing-money effort from Koonce.

Denver Broncos LB Drew Sanders (foot) suffered a tendon injury in his foot, and the ailment is expected to keep him sidelined for an extended period. He was carted off the practice field Saturday, July 26, and Sanders is not expected to return before the regular season opener Sept. 7. He and the team will decide on potential surgery in the next few days.
