Houston Texans rookie LB Brennan Scarlett (undisclosed) was placed on the Active/Non-Football Injury list Monday, July 25.

Washington Redskins LB Junior Galette (Achilles’) has torn his Achilles’ tendon and is out for the season.

New York Giants LB Jasper Brinkley has the edge over LB Keenan Robinson for the starting middle linebacker position, in the opinion of NJ.com’s Dan Duggan.

New York Giants TE Will Tye is the favorite to start at tight end over TE Larry Donnell, in the opinion of NJ.com’s Dan Duggan. TE Matt LaCosse is also expected to compete for the starting job.

Undrafted free-agent TE Eric Wallace (DePaul) was signed to an undisclosed deal by the Carolina Panthers Monday, July 25.

New York Jets FS Marcus Gilchrist is slated to start at free safety opposite SS Calvin Pryor, according to ESPNNewYork.com’s Rich Cimini.

New York Jets CB Buster Skrine is expected to start opposite CB Darrelle Revis because of his experience and his comfort level in a man-to-man defense.

New York Jets CB Darrelle Revis (wrist) has yet to test his surgically repaired wrist in contact drills this offseason. His health is one of the key storylines to track once the Jets’ training camp begins.

Footballguys View: We shouldn’t see much of Revis at the start of training camp. However, all reports this offseason indicate that the veteran CB is going to be ready for Week 1 of the regular season.

Green Bay Packers WR Jordy Nelson (knee) and TE Jared Cook (foot) and others may initially be held out of training camp practices.

Footballguys View: We’ll see this around the league, and the Packers are no different. Having Nelson healthy is the key for the passing game. Getting Cook involved looks great on paper, but he’s also a player who has never quite lived up to his potential.

Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers is in the best shape of his football career, according to head coach Mike McCarthy. Rodgers stopped eating dairy this offseason as part of a more stringent diet.

Footballguys View: It’s ironic to think of a player in Wisconsin avoiding dairy, but to each his own. Rodgers in great shape certainly helps, but getting WR Jordy Nelson back and healthy is an even greater boost to the team’s passing game.
