Arizona Cardinals

 Following today’s Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio, the Cardinals will hold a joint practice with the Chiefs at Missouri Western State University tomorrow. How cool will it be to see Larry Fitzgerald and Dwayne Bowe on the same field? Oh wait. 

Cleveland Browns

LB Chris Gocong appears to be lost for the season after injuring his right Achilles tendon. Head coach Pat Shurmer was pretty direct about it - "There's no point in trying to conceal anything. It's an Achilles," he said. 

Dallas Cowboys

WR Miles Austin “tweaked” his hamstring. According to DallasCowboys.com, the team is not overly concerned despite the fact that Austin missed six games with a hamstring injury last season. 

Detroit Lions

As per @ttwentyman, DE Cliff Avril reported to camp this morning, thus ending his holdout.

Minnesota Vikings

Rookie WR Greg Childs may be done for the season after suffering a gruesome leg injury during last night’s practice. Childs had to be carted off the field, and early indications are that he tore both patella tendons.

New Orleans Saints

Suspended head coach Sean Payton greeted QB Drew Brees at the Hall of Fame ceremony yesterday. Payton received permission from the NFL to attend Saturday’s enshrinement, but is not permitted at tonight’s Hall of Fame Game.

Philadelphia Eagles

Andy Reid was a no-show at training camp this morning. Players huddled in prayer before practice. Statement from team, via @RoobCSN: "Andy Reid is dealing with personal issue. Will have update after walkthrough." Stay tuned. 

Tennessee Titans

Center Eugene Amano will miss the season after suffering a tear in his right tricep that will require surgery.  He was a contender for the starting job.
