NFL Training Camp Daily Report: August 3rd
As the first kick-off of the 2015 NFL season grows closer by each waking moment, NFL Training Camps are under way. Every day, we will give you a quick run-down of injuries, plays, or news out of multiple teams training camps. We will bring you the news directly from local and national beat reporters, as well as the team’s official social media accounts.
Buffalo Bills
Rex Ryan says anything other than a playoff berth will be a disappointment. Perhaps he should look around for a quarterback. Local reports are that EJ Manuel is being out-performed by Matt Simms, who shouldn’t be an option looking towards Week 1. Mike Vick is still out there you know…
Carolina Panthers
Panthers fans held their breaths today when a second player was carted off the field in camp, this time it being Star Lotulelei. It appears the DT may have avoided the scariest injury fans thought occured, but he will still miss some time.
Panthers say Star Lotulelei has a "stress reaction" in his foot, he'll be reevaluated in a few weeks.

Dallas Cowboys
Didn't realize Lache Seastrunk was on the #Cowboys roster until @Jones_Drew32 told me just now. Kid's so gifted. https://t.co/YDAo9AQ0gE

Houston Texans
Running back Alfred Blue was carted off the field after grabbing his leg in practice.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Troubled receiver Ace Sanders was released today after failing his second drug test.
The #Jaguars move to part ways with Ace Sanders this offseason has context. He’s been suspended 10 games for @NFL’s substance abuse policy

Kansas City Chiefs
First round pick Marcus Peters had three interceptions in practice today. He says “It’s time for me to do it on a consistent basis.”
New York Giants
Justin Pugh slid over to left tackle today while Ereck Flowers was out with a hip injury.
Giants LT Ereck Flowers (hip flexor) not practicing today. Squad a little thin at that spot, just sayin.

Philadelphia Eagles
Sam Bradford is clearly taking the lead on the starting job over Mark Sanchez. With the first team, Bradford is 33/41, 1 INT, 1 TD, while Sanchez is 22/35, 0 TD, 0 INT, mostly with second team. Here are stats for Bradford, Sanchez, Tebow and Barkley from Monday.

In other team news, OLB Jake Long tore his ACL early in practice. Luckily, the Eagles have the deepest linebacking corp in the NFL and Long’s loss won’t be a hard hit.
Pittsburgh Steelers
Steelers’ second round pick Senquez Golson might be facing season-ending surgery on his shoulder. The news sheds some light on the trade the Steelers made to acquire nickle-corner Brandon Boykin from the Eagles earlier in camp.
