Fantasy Football Tonight 8/6
FALCONS SIGN A PAIR OR WR'S
The Falcons are struggling to find receivers to practice with at this point and thus signed Robert Ferguson this morning and have now added Marty Booker just a few moments ago. Losing Harry Douglas for the season was a major blow to this offense and with Roddy White holding out they were left with Michael Jenkins and Brian Finneran as the two starters before the additions. Ferguson looked fluid and quick in his workout this morning and he may be someone who can step in a make some plays. The team also worked out Ike Hilliard this morning but did not sign him to any deal.
NO VICK IN GREEN BAY (From The Training Camp Blog)
I just got off the phone with my friend who works in the Packers front office and in close proximity to GM Ted Thompson. He swears to me that there is a zero percent chance of the Packers signing Michael Vick.
He says that Thompson's "not ruling it out" is part of a team priority of not commenting either way on players they may or may not be interested in. Thompson wants all team personnel to follow his lead in not giving public indication about Green Bay Packers interests under any circumstances. Behind close doors though there is a totally different vibe about Vick. It is true there was some contact with his agent but that was over a week ago and not considered serious whatsoever.
I remain steadfast that Vick lands with either the Jacksonville Jaguars or possibly the Carolina Panthers. Tampa Bay makes perfect sense but the Glazers have already had enough heat from animal rights groups and don't seem interested in incurring any more.
WHISPERS
The Titans are seriously considering brining in free agent WR Matt Jones for a workout as early as tomorrow (Friday).
Buccaneers RB Derrick Ward was in a walking boot after injuring his foot. His official status is day-to-day.
Both Santana Moss and Devin Thomas missed portions of Redskins practice today with leg injuries. Moss has a slight hamstring strain while Thomas pulled up lame after coming down with a Colt Brennan thrown pass toward the end of practice today. He is expected to miss a bit of time as his leg was wrapped up pretty tight after visiting the trainers room this afternoon.
Bengals rookie RB Bernard Scott has been the most impressive player in camp so far. Carson Palmer described Scott's talent as "jaw dropping" and went on to claim that he will be a very exciting player for them this season.
