NFL | Darnell Dockett calls it a career
Free-agent DL Darnell Dockett (49ers) is expected to sign a one-day contract with the Arizona Cardinals before announcing his retirement from football on Monday, July 25, according to a source.

Lions | Ameer Abdullah avoids preseason PUP list

Bengals | Tyler Eifert’s rehab on schedule
Cincinnati Bengals TE Tyler Eifert (ankle) is reportedly progressing as planned following right ankle surgery on May 27, according to a league source.
Lions | Corey Robinson also goes to IR
Detroit Lions OT Corey Robinson (ankle) was placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list Sunday, July 24.
Lions | Two Lions placed on PUP list
Detroit Lions WR Corey Fuller (foot) and TE Brandon Pettigrew (knee) were placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list Sunday, July 24.
Footballguys View: Fuller has the best deep speed in the Lions wide receiver corps, but his foot injury could endanger his roster spot with T.J. Jones coming on and Jeremy Kerley added as a slot receiver/returner. Bubba Caldwell and Andre Roberts were also added in the offseason, so Fuller needs to get back on the field soon to compete with a deep group that has a lot of experience.
Chargers | Casey Hayward comfortable outside
San Diego Chargers CB Casey Hayward said he feels more comfortable on the perimeter as opposed to the slot. Hayward and CB Brandon Flowers will battle for the second starting cornerback position opposite CB Jason Verrett during training camp.
Raiders | Karl Joseph will be ready
Oakland Raiders rookie SS Karl Joseph (knee) will be ready to participate in training camp, according to head coach Jack Del Rio. Joseph is expected to start opposite FS Reggie Nelson.
Footballguys View: The Raiders already have one of the best rising defensive stars in the NFL in Khalil Mack. The addition of Nelson and Bob Sanders-esque talent Joseph in the back of the defense should help them create more interceptions when Mack and company get after the quarterback.
