With NFL training camps underway, the league is abuzz with position battles, injury news and rookies making an immediate impact. Chris Davis Jersey . Each day, TSN.ca provides the latest rumours, reports and speculation from around the NFL beat. Back in Business After missing close to a week of training camp, Carolina Panthers wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin returned to practice on Saturday. The 23-year-old suffered a bone bruise on his knee, which forced him to miss four days of camp. Benjamin, the Panthers first-round draft pick this year is expected to start immediately this season across from veteran wide out Jerricho Cotchery. No Shon? The Miami Dolphins may be without running back Knowshon Moreno for the entire preseason as he continues to recover from arthroscopic surgery. When asked by the Miami Herald if he would be able to appear in at least one preseason game in his first season with the Dolphins, Moreno made no promises. "I dont know. I dont know. I really dont even know. I just want to take each day one at a time. They have a schedule for me and theyre just going to tell me every day what I have to do, and I just go out there and do it." Moreno was initially scheduled to miss four to five weeks, however he is now into his sixth week of recovery and remains on the physically unable to perform list. Moreno was signed in the offseason by the Dolphins, after reaching the Super Bowl with the Denver Broncos in 2013. Moreno rushed for 1,038 yards and touchdowns in 16 games with the Dolphins last season. In his absence, Lamar Miller is taking added snaps as he competes for the starting tailback role. Not a Good Turn Buffalo Bills wide receiver Marquise Goodwin suffered a hamstring injury on Friday, putting his status for Sundays Hall of Fame game against the New York Giants. Goodwin caught 17 passes for 283 yards and three touchdowns in his rookie season with the Bills last year. He was drafted in the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft. The Bills currently have 12 wide receivers on their roster, but will likely only take five into the regular season. Starting Cyril? Rookie offensive lineman Cyril Richardson has been taking snaps with the Buffalo Bills first-team offence at right guard. Richardson was drafted in the fifth round of this years draft by the Bills after playing college football at Baylor. Richardson is competing with Chris Hairston and 2013 starter Kraig Urbik for the right guard position. The Bills allowed 48 sacks last season. Jonathan Villar Jersey . 5 Trade Deadline is drawing closer and teams will be deciding on whether to buy or sell while figuring out which players can make the biggest difference and hold the greatest value. Dave Philley Jersey . A-Rod is also disqualified from any post-season play. So at the tender age of 38, he will miss all of next season. As a result of missing the coming season, hes also out $25 million (which coincidentally is my hourly rate). https://www.cheaporioles.com/1308i-tanner-scott-jersey-orioles.html . -- The Detroit Lions made it crystal clear to Golden Tate that he was their top target in free agency.LAKE FOREST, Ill. - Chicago Bears general manager Phil Emery was so busy in free agency he didnt mind having a few extra weeks to prepare for the draft. Times just about up. The three-day proceeding starts with the first round Thursday and the Bears, owners of the 14th pick, still need help on defence even after some big moves. So a little extra time to study the prospects suited Emery just fine. "I love it, honestly. Ive heard reports of people complaining about it," he said. "I dont know what theyre complaining about." The draft was pushed back about two weeks because of a scheduling conflict at New Yorks Radio City Music Hall. Emery said that allowed the Bears to have "less-rushed conversations" as they try to weigh short-term gains against long-term benefits. The defence ranked among the leagues worst a year ago and was the biggest reason the Bears missed the playoffs for the sixth time in seven years at 8-8. The Bears have been busy addressing that, bringing in Jared Allen and parting with Julius Peppers in an effort to spark a defence that ranked 30th overall, last against the run, and tied Jacksonville with a league-low 31 sacks. They still need help on the line, at linebacker and in the secondary, particularly at safety. Chicago has one pick in each of the first five rounds (Nos. 14, 51, 82, 117 and 156) and two in the sixth round (183 and 191). With that in mind, here are five things to know about the draft. STILL ON THE DEFENSIVE: Emery said he has six candidates for the 14th pick assuming the Bears keep it, and theres a good chance hell go with a defensive player even though he wasnt ruling out offence. Pittsburgh defensive tackle Aaron Donald, Alabama free safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix and Oklahoma State cornerback Justin Gilbert could be strong possibilities for Chicago. ROLL THE DICE: Emery showed in his first two drafts hes not afraid to take a chance on a first-round pick. He gambled on Shea McClelllin in 2012 and did it again with Kyle Long last year. Hunter Harvey Jersey. The results? Hes batting .500 so far. Long was a hit at right guard even though he made just five starts in his lone season at Oregon. McClellin is a swing and miss so far and is moving from defensive end to linebacker. At least Emery hit it big in the second round in 2012 with receiver Alshon Jeffery, who broke out last season with 1,421 yards receiving. PASS ON QB?: Emery insisted hes comfortable with Jordan Palmer backing up Jay Cutler and that hes not in favour of grooming a quarterback drafted in the later rounds as a potential starter down the line. "That developmental theory doesnt hold a whole lot of water," he said. Starting with the 2006 class, Emery examined how quarterbacks drafted after the third round fared. He didnt find a long-term starter, let alone another Tom Brady. Mostly, it was a collection of third-stringers, many of whom did not last long in the league. "Most of the starters in this league come from the first and second round. So thats where you need to take a quarterback," he said. The idea of pairing a late-round QB with coach Marc Trestman doesnt seem to interest him. "Im more intrigued with how Marc matches up with Jay and Jordan and Jerrod (Johnson)," he said. PLAYING IT SAFE-TY: Emery declared the starting safety spots "wide open" with the struggling Chris Conte back and Major Wright gone. Theyve brought in Ryan Mundy and M.D. Jennings and figure to add more help in the draft. The Bears have also scouted college cornerbacks with length with the idea of converting them to safeties, although that carries some risk. MAKING A MOVE: Emery said hes fielded calls from teams looking to move up to No. 14. He also indicated trading up is unlikely, saying such moves are "expensive." ___ Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
