Our resident QB Kurt Warner liked what he saw from Mariota: "I think you saw all the things people were raving about. His comfort level with the guy, his command with the huddle, you saw him under center and in the shotgun and then with his decision making ... No interceptions up to this point in camp. What we saw today was when he didn't look comfortable throwing something or something wasn't there, you saw him throw it away." NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport spoke with sources about the new QB: "He's actually years ahead of where they thought he would be." Here's our set in Nashville:  Injury news: Rapoport told Rhett Lewis that RB had succe sful groin surgery this morning in Philadelphia and said that the will place their star running back on short-season injured reserve, meaning he will be eligible to return in Week 8.  In Foxborough, left practice and was having his right knee examined before leaving practice and the facility. TE also mi sed practice today.

Watkins is set to participate in a scrimmage tomorrow night. will also play in that scrimmage. RB , out "a couple of weeks" with a hamstring injury, will not. Jeff Darlington joins the and today in Richmond, Virginia. Darlington reported Omar Narvaez Jersey  that 's sprained right shoulder will likely sideline him for 1-2 weeks. He said jokes abound about Jackson's injury, but that the receiver is said to have sustained it after contact with the James Paxton Jersey  ground, not with a blocking sled. Still, per Darlington, Washington players he spoke with "are not concerned about whether (Jackson) needs training camp to get ready for the season."  Albert Breer is with the in Columbus, Ohio, where the team will practice under the lights at Ohio Stadium in front of an estimated 70,000 fans. will practice, but will not. Pryor is converting from QB to WR and keeping an eye on his hamstring in the proce s. RB is also out tonight.  As we point out almost every day on whispers, the aforementioned have a QB competition defined by mediocrity. Lewis spoke with Brian Billick about the Buffalo signal-caller race and what OC Greg Roman's offense will look like. "It's hard to imagine Rex not going with ," Billick said. "They're going to say look, all you've got to do is not turn the ball over ... We'll take our shots down the field, but Greg Roman will craft this small ball offense to go in concert with what is going to be a really scary defense."

Ca serly is looking for QB to improve his accuracy, decision-making, and pocket presence, but in practice today  Art Warren Jersey Bortles still struggled with ball placement. "I thought his accuracy was inconsistent in practice today but he did flash some big time plays which reminds you of what his potential is," Ca serly reported. The offensive line was a ma sive problem for the Jags last year, but Ca serly is predicting a resurgence. The group has new talent in RT ,OC/OG Stefan Wisniewski and OG AJ Cann, and is entering his third year. Ca serly also loves the addition of line coach Doug Marrone: "He is an excellent OL coach as well as a proven winner at Head Coach. He has a track record of developing players and will take this OL to a new level."  Charley is also high on rookie RB , who he predicts will start, and former Bronco TE . On Thomas: "He has the speed to get  Dylan Moore Jersey deep and give them big plays. Gus Bradley raved about his impact off the field, too." Lewis, a receiver himself in college, highlighted an interesting addition to Tenne see's pa s-catching corps: " as a potential starter in Tenne see, that's kind of an eye-opener after falling off the map ... that could be a huge get, an under-the-radar signing there for the ." Nicks won a with the in 2011 but caught only 38 balls last year in Indianapolis and saw his yards-per-catch plummet from 16 to 10.7. and one-handed catches. Enough said.
