With NFL training camps underway, the league is abuzz with position battles, injury news and rookies making an immediate impact. Fake NHL Jerseys . Each day, TSN.ca provides the latest rumours, reports and speculation from around the NFL beat. Finding a New Holme? According to ESPNs Adam Schefter, the Chicago Bears worked out free agent wide receivers Santonio Holmes and Ben Obamanu on Tuesday. The Bears are looking to add depth to the wide receiver position after projected No. 3 Marquess Wilson underwent surgery to repair a broken collarbone. Wilson is projected to return at some point in the regular season, though no timetable has been set. Holmes spent last season with the New York Jets and had 23 receptions for 456 yards and one touchdown in 11 games. He has not had a 1,000 yard season since he was with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2009, he was traded the following offseason to the Jets. Obamanu was cut by the Jets in October and not picked up by any other team. His most productive seasons came with the Seattle Seahawks in 2010 and 2011; he had over 400 yards in each of those seasons. The Bears roster currently features receivers Eric Weems, Chris Williams, Josh Morgan, Michael Spurlock, Armanti Edwards, Josh Bellamy and Dale Moss all fighting for roles behind Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffrey. Coach Marc Trestman indicated during his press conference on Tuesday that another receiver would be signed by Thursday. Striding to a Start? Tony Grossi of ESPN Cleveland thinks Tuesdays Browns practice could be "regarded as the day the light went on for Johnny Manziel." Manziel split time with Brian Hoyer working with the first-team offence, but had one of his best showings to date. ESPN Cleveland reports Manziel went 15-for-27 passing, finishing practice with an over 50 per cent completion rate for just the second time in camp. Coach Mike Pettine admitted after practice the former Texas A&M star is "making strides." Manziel took first-team reps for the third straight day on Wednesday. Hoyer will start Saturdays preseason game for the Browns, but the reports on Manziel have entirely positive since he stood out in last Saturdays team scrimmage. Turning to Teddy The Minnesota Vikings plan to give rookie quarterback Teddy Bridgewater first-team snaps at some point in the preseason. Matt Cassel was listed as the teams starting quarterback on their first depth chart and is expected start the teams opening preseason game but Bridgewater will be given a chance to pass Cassel in the starting race. The Vikings traded up to select Bridgewater 32nd overall in Mays draft and appear to have confidence in the Louisville product. "We need to play Teddy with the first line," offensive coordinator Norv Turner said Tuesday. "We need to mix a lot of players. I think were still trying to work that out in terms of how we want to do it. I know Coach [Mike] Zimmer has a plan in place. It will be a number of plays, and we want to see Teddy play. He needs to play to get through that the first time going out." ESPNs Ben Goessling reports Bridgewater had a strong day in practice on Monday, completing 8-of-10 passes in the 11-on-11 drill with the second-team offence. Sitting Sam The St. Louis Rams will not having starting quarterback Sam Bradford when they open their preseason against the New Orleans Saints on Friday. Bradford will sit out for precautionary reasons as he works his way back from a torn ACL, which he tore in Week 7. Bradford is expected to be in full health for Week 1 of the regular season.

Clearance NHL Jerseys . - Diego Fagundez scored his team-leading 13th goal of the season in the 76th minute to lift the Revolution to a 3-2 victory over the Columbus Crew on Saturday night that kept New Englands playoff hopes alive. https://www.chinanhljerseys.us/ . However, Therrien added that Galchenyuks status for next Wednesdays game against the Detroit Red Wings is questionable. Galchenyuk has been out since Jan. 6 with a broken right hand.PHOENIX - When Junior Seaus name is mentioned as a first-time Hall of Fame candidate, people nod in recognition of his career achievements.Then they shake their heads with sadness.Seau spent 20 seasons in the NFL as a dominant linebacker, winning Defensive Player of the Year honours for San Diego in 1992, making six All-Pro teams, and the leagues All-Decade team of the 1990s. His reckless abandon defined his career.Seau committed suicide in 2012 and was found to have developed chronic traumatic encephalopathy (a brain disease).He was a phenomenal player, teammate, friend, Tom Brady said during Super Bowl week of Seau, who finished his career in New England. His attitude was infectious. He brought enthusiasm every day in practice. Youd show up in the weight room and hed be the first person there at six in the morning, on the treadmill, running, going into his 18th year in the league.He had a love for life and hes missed by all of his family and friends and certainly by me, all the guys that had a chance to be around him. He was a special person. I have no doubt hell be elected. If he cant make it, nobody can. Hes truly one of a kind.Joining Seau among the first-year eligibles for Saturdays vote are quarterback Kurt Warner and tackle Orlando Pace — who protected Warner when he was winning MVP awards in 1999 and 2001 with the Rams.At the other end of the spectrum is veterans committee nominee Mick Tingelhoff, who retired in 1978 after starting all 240 games of his career as Minnesotas centre.Fellow nominees among the 18 finalists include stars of recent vintage (Marvin Harrison, John Lynch, Jerome Bettis, Will Shields); less-recent standouts (Charles Haley, Tim Brown, Kevin Greene, Morten Andersen); coaches Tony Dungy, Don Coryell and Jimmy Johnson; and contributors Bill Polian and Ron Wolf.Also a finalist is running back Terrell Davis, the key (along with John Elway) to Denvers NFL championships in 1997 and 1998.Davis, the 1998 league and SSuper Bowl MVP — he rushed for 2,008 yards and scored 22 touchdowns — retired in 2001 after only seven pro seasons. Custom NHL Jerseys. This is his first time as a finalist.Yeah, its very different, Davis said. The first time I was a semifinalist, I was excited about that because to be in the conversation was something that I had never dreamt of it, and it never really became something that I was focused on or ever worried about. But then I got on that list, and I was like, Wow, this is pretty special.Davis isnt one to analyze his chances of being inducted, but he was exhilarated to find out how far hed gotten in this years balloting.So then Ive been at this for seven, eight years, but every year being on that list was exciting. Well, get to this year and take the next step, he said. I didnt think Id feel the way I felt when they told me: Youre a finalist. And yeah, I was like, Wow, man. I dont know, wait a minute, could this be a possibility that one day I can get that (gold) jacket? Its certainly possible, as it is for all the nominees.The panel of 46 media members will spend much of Saturday discussing the merits of each candidate, beginning with Tingelhoff, who must receive 80 per cent of the ballots to be elected.Same thing for Polian and Wolf, general managers who built Super Bowl champions and will be considered next.Then come the other 15 modern-era candidates. After further discussions, their number will be reduced to 10 and, eventually to five.Those five will receive yes or no votes for selection, just as Tingelhoff, Polian and Wolf do earlier in the meeting.The class of 2015 will be announced at the NFL Honors TV show Saturday night during which The Associated Press individual NFL awards will be handed out.Inductions in the Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, will be in August.___AP Pro Football Writers Arnie Stapleton and Howard Fendrich contributed to this story.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
