Cowboys DE Sam Williams carted off during practice
Williams has 8.5 sacks his first two seasons since being drafted in the second round by Dallas in 2022
Tua has so many people to thank after earning new contract
Come for Tua Tagovailoa giving his thanks to all Dolphins figures that helped him get to earning this massive contact extension. Stay for his adorable son, Ace, wanting to be close to his dad on stage. pic.twitter.com/KIznBkgy4R

Caleb Williams shows why Bears drafted him No. 1 overall
LAKE FOREST, Ill. — July practices are the time to learn each other’s tendencies and trying new things.
But as Caleb Williams found wide receiver Tyler Scott for yet another deep touchdown in training camp, members of the coaching staff thought to themselves: Look at his ability to extend the play. Look at his grasp of the field.
“He had that natural feeling, that natural spatial awareness [that], ‘Hey, there’s a void that shouldn’t have been there based on what the coverage structure might have played out as, but it played out a little different,” offensive coordinator Shane Waldron said. “He’s starting to feel the tight-window throws that are a part of the NFL.

Lamar Jackson is back at Ravens practice
Anthony Richardson –> Michael Pittman Jr.
It’s just camp, and it’s just against air, but this could absolutely be one of the NFL’s top QB-WR duos this season
Reminder: Bears have TWO top-10 rookies to be excited about
WR Rome Odunze is turning heads in camp so far as well, which is great news for Caleb Williams.

Revisiting Cowboys camp
1. Dak Prescott had a little moment of public negotiation. Pretty subtle, but that’s Dak.
2. Rookie first rounder Tyler Guyton isn’t a fixture with the first team OL yet. But he will be eventually. Or has to be, so long as he can keep Dak safe. pic.twitter.com/rF9HO6AvGN
3. Trey Lance looks like…well, does it really matter yet? He’s going to get some work in preseason games and that will say far more than anything right now.
5. I can’t remember the last time I was at a camp-opening presser for Dallas and there wasn’t a surreal moment in the Jerry Jones experience. Thursday was no different.
6. Cowboys are going to try like hell to get 2023 first round pick Mazi Smith on track. There’s a ways to go. pic.twitter.com/9RjVpeSGwW
Jerry Jones said sometimes he can’t afford what he wants. Dak Prescott said he doesn’t fear potentially leaving. And the Dallas #Cowboys 2024 season will remain focused through that dynamic until some kind of resolution develops. Camp column: https://t.co/uMePEszqW9
The initial numbers for Tua Tagovailoa put him at $53.1 million per year, which makes him the third-highest paid QB in the NFL in annual value, behind Joe Burrow and Trevor Lawrence (both at $55M/year).
The 5th-year QB led the NFL with 4,624 passing yards last season along with a career-high 29 touchdown passes and 14 interceptions. He’d been a limited participant in training camp practices thus far, but that will surely change now that he has a fresh contract secured.
The #Dolphins and their QB Tua Tagovailoa have a deal!
Sources tell me and @MikeGarafolo they’ve agreed to terms on 4-year, $212.4M contract extension to lock him in long-term. At long-last, Miami’s franchise QB is paid like it. 💰 💰 💰 pic.twitter.com/rW5sTJzBQo
QB Lamar Jackson remains sidelined with an illness and will not practice today. He continues to undergo further evaluation and receive care from our medical team.
For the fourth time in five camp practices, QB Lamar Jackson isn’t practicing because of an illness. Per team, Jackson “continues to undergo further evaluation and receive care from our medical team.”
