The picture sort of says it all here.

“Juice,” aka fifth-year tight end O.J. Howard, is at training camp today but is wearing a visor and not practicing. He’s not ready yet, even for underwear football. But Howard has been working with trainers and catching passes.

Get well soon, O.J.

Play-action success.

Joe’s not sounding an alarm here, but it’s worth noting that Tom Brady, coming off left knee surgery, has a unique guard/brace/wrap on his left shin/calf today.

Wake up!

It’s officially football season. (more…)

Run-and-hit.

For those who follow former NFL defensive back Bucky Brooks on NFL.com and the “Moving the Sticks” podcast, Brooks is all about new-age football. (more…)
