Overview

  • The Chicago Bears emphasized pre-snap precision after logging multiple delay-of-game penalties in their Family Fest practice, drilling timing corrections ahead of joint sessions with the Dolphins on Friday and a preseason opener Sunday.
  • A Baltimore Banner media poll of 21 reporters pegged wide receiver Devontez Walker, rookie kicker Tyler Loop and running back Keaton Mitchell as the biggest stock-up performers before today’s joint practice with the Colts.
  • The San Francisco 49ers released veteran kicker Greg Joseph to hand the job to third-round pick Jake Moody and Kyle Shanahan revealed shoulder, pectoral and groin injuries sidelining Isaac Guerendo, Kevin Givens and Sam Okuayinonu, with safety Ji’Ayir Brown expected back later this week.
  • New England’s cornerback depth took another hit when Marcellas Dial was carted off with a left-leg injury, thrusting D.J. James into a larger role ahead of Wednesday’s joint practice with Washington.
  • Broncos coach Sean Payton downplayed two interceptions thrown by Bo Nix on Monday and inside linebacker Dre Greenlaw remained on the sideline for team drills as Denver prepares for a joint session with the 49ers and Saturday’s preseason opener.
