Who Opened Camp Today: Colts, Eagles
Baltimore Ravens
According to our FanSided friends at Ebony Birds, first round pick Breshad Perriman suffered a minor knee injury in camp. He’s due to miss a couple of days of camp, but ultimately expected to be fine.
Carolina Panthers
The Panthers appeared to have lost wide receiver Stephen Hill to a lower-body injury this afternoon. After attempting to catch a pass from Cam Newton, Hill came down wrong on his right leg. Reports are he suffered a major knee injury, but the team has not released anything official yet.
The training camp party just got really quiet because Stephen Hill went down in a heap. Working on his knee. Does not look good.

Cleveland Browns
The Browns lost two running backs to injury today. Rookie Duke Johnson and veteran Terrance West each suffered lower-body injuries in camp this afternoon.
Browns rookie RB Duke Johnson Jr. left practice with a hamstring injury and RB Terrance West left with a calf injury. And so it begins.

The Broncos also lost a part of their receiving depth, as Kyle Williams confirmed he tore his achillies tendon.
WR Kyle Williams being carted off field after going down in a non-contact punt return drill. He's distraught. Fee awful for him. #Broncos

New York Giants
Nearly a tragic day today at Giants camp, as a cluster of bleachers collapsed as fans rushed to get Odell Beckham Jr.’s autograph. Reports were that several “adult” autograph seekers pushed children and trampled others to get to Beckham during the autograph session. The team will now only allow children 12 and under to attend the sessions.

Second round pick Devin Smith remains in the hospital after suffering a broken rib yesterday. Head Coach Todd Bowles says the stay is purely precautionary.

Quarterback Marcus Mariota reportedly performed exceptionally well in camp, making few mistakes and running well with the offense.
#MarcusMariota has been sharp in first days of #TitansCamp. Hitting receivers w/ anticipation, moving in the pocket, and avoiding mistakes.
