ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (Aug. 2, 2007) -- Denver Broncos linebacker Warrick Holdman was carted off the field and taken by ambulance to a hospital after he appeared to injure his head or neck.
There was no immediate word on the extent of his injury, although he was moving his arms and legs.
Holdman appeared to hit the crown of his helmet on another player's helmet and crumpled to the grass midway through the morning workout. He was rolled over onto his back after a minute, but stayed down for eight minutes.
His teammates gathered around him as he was strapped to a headboard and carted off the field to a waiting ambulance.
Holdman is a ninth-year pro in his first season in Denver after spending the last two years in Washington. He was working with the starters at strong-side linebacker Thursday. He's among a handful of players who are vying for the position in one of the most heated competitions at camp.

TRAINING CAMP REPORT
Meester out 8-10 weeks
Injured ankle on Monday
By Vic Ketchman, jaguars.com senior editor
07/31/07
Meester will undergo surgery on Wednesday. Head coach Jack Del Rio held out hope on Tuesday morning that Meester could return to action after the Jaguars’ bye week (Sept. 30).
Dennis Norman will replace Meester at center. Norman started the final five games of the 2005 season, including a postseason game, when Meester was lost to a torn biceps tendon. Norman was judged to have played well in Meester’s stead and the Jaguars signed Norman to a long-term contract in Feb. of ’06.
“You always want to play, so I just have to show what I can do,” Norman said of what is likely to become the most playing time he’s enjoyed in his seven-year career.
“I like the organization. Jack (Del Rio) is a great coach. It just felt good to stay here,” Norman said when asked why he didn’t sign with another team following his performance late in the ’05 season.
“Every year you come in and try to start. It’s the ultimate goal. I had to wait three or four years before I even got a chance to get on the field. You have to keep the faith,” Norman said.
The Jaguars are putting their faith in the initial diagnosis of Meester’s injury.

Moss, acquired from Oakland in a trade during the draft, pulled up midway through Wednesday's practice. Medical trainers applied ice to his upper left leg, and he later left the field under his own power.
Patriots coach Bill Belichick did not discuss the specifics of
Moss' injury and did not know when Moss would return to practice.
"Randy's good, day to day," Belichick said after the team's first practice of the day.
The 30-year-old Moss is attempting to get his career back on track after a disappointing two-year stay in Oakland. He had been a standout in Patriots training camp, catching nearly every pass thrown his way.
He was injured while running under a deep ball thrown by Tom Brady. The two had connected on similar plays throughout camp.
The Patriots have 12 receivers on the roster. Three are on the physically- unable-to-perform list: veteran Troy Brown, free agent Donte' Stallworth and Chad Jackson, a second-round draft pick a year ago whose rookie season was limited by leg injuries.
The other top candidates are holdovers Reche Caldwell and Jabar Gaffney, free agent Kelley Washington and Wes Welker, who was acquired in a trade with Miami.

Colts coach Tony Dungy said he had been in touch with Irsay concerning the move.
"I didn't know how far along we were but I knew that was the direction we were going," Dungy said.

Parker
Parker has some swelling in his left knee and the Steelers are going to be cautious with their top running back.

Scott done for year with knee injury; Samuel continues holdout
<HR width="100%" noShade SIZE=1>Associated Press
<INLINE1>
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots defensive back Chad Scott will miss the upcoming season because of a knee injury, the team announced Monday, as cornerback Asante Samuel's holdout continued.
Scott, 32, was placed on the reserve/injured list. The news came just hours after coach Bill Belichick continued to describe Scott's injury as day-to-day.
Last season, Scott played in 14 regular season games with nine starts. He made 44 tackles and had two interceptions. He signed with the Patriots before the 2005 season, which was cut short by a shoulder injury that October.
Scott was drafted in the first round, 24th overall, by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1997. He spent the first eight years of his career with the Steelers.
Meanwhile, Samuel continues holding out for a multiyear agreement after rejecting a one-year, $7.79 million contract.

Gore breaks bone in right hand, may miss preseason

<!-- end story header --><!-- begin left column --><!-- begin page tools -->Updated: July 31, 2007, 11:28 AM ET
<!-- end page tools --><!-- begin story body --><!-- template inline -->SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Frank Gore, the San Francisco 49ers Pro Bowl running back, broke a bone in his right hand Monday during the first padded practice of training camp and might not play in the preseason.
Gore
Gore was injured during a non-contact ball-handling drill, and coach Mike Nolan said he would not practice with the team for the remainder of the week. Gore will be re-evaluated next Monday, and Nolan expects him to return to practice then with a cast on his hand.
"He'll be ready for the latter part of preseason, but his participating in the preseason, we'll wait and see on that," Nolan said.
Gore set a franchise single-season record last season while leading the NFC with 1,695 yards rushing. He was the NFC's starting running back in the Pro Bowl after just his second NFL season.
One of the league's top young backs, Gore said he is aiming for a 2,000-yard season this year and hopes to challenge Eric Dickerson's NFL record of 2,105 yards that has stood for 22 seasons.
Gore has a considerable history of serious injury. He tore ligaments in each of his knees and had major surgery on both during his college career at the University of Miami. After his first season with the 49ers in 2005, when he became the first rookie in 15 years to lead the team in rushing, Gore had surgery to repair a torn labrum in each of his shoulders.
That didn't prevent Gore from having a breakout season last year, when he also recorded a franchise-record 312 carries. He also led San Francisco last year with 61 receptions while setting a franchise record of 2,180 yards from scrimmage.
The 49ers intend to lighten Gore's load this year, and there's a three-way competition in training camp for backup carries behind him between young veterans Maurice Hicks and Michael Robinson and rookie Thomas Clayton, the team's sixth-round selection in the April draft.
"I always like to see a silver lining in whatever happens," Nolan said. "This is going to give Michael Robinson, Hicks and the rookie an opportunity to get more reps and see what they can do."
Nolan said there's a possibility the 49ers will bring in another running back to provide depth in training camp until Gore returns. Robinson, Hicks and Clayton are the only other running backs on the team's summer roster.

The 49ers intend to lighten Gore's load this year, and there's a three-way competition in training camp for backup carries behind him between young veterans Maurice Hicks and Michael Robinson and rookie Thomas Clayton, the team's sixth-round selection in the April draft.
"I always like to see a silver lining in whatever happens," Nolan said. "This is going to give Michael Robinson, Hicks and the rookie an opportunity to get more reps and see what they can do."
Nolan said there's a possibility the 49ers will bring in another running back to provide depth in training camp until Gore returns. Robinson, Hicks and Clayton are the only other running backs on the team's summer roster.

Late Monday afternoon, for a heart-stopping minute or two, the Redskins thought they were reliving that nightmare. This time it was left tackle Chris Samuels instead of right tackle Jon Jansen -- and it was a practice instead of a game -- but the scene was familiar: Players huddled in silence around the fallen teammate, thinking the worst.
An MRI revealed a grade 2 sprain of the MCL. Translated in English, that means a sigh of relief. Samuels is expected to miss up to four weeks -- probably the entire preseason -- but is expected to return in time for the regular-season opener Sept. 9, although that timetable is far from set in stone given the unpredictable nature of injury rehabilitation.
"We really got good news," coach Joe Gibbs said. "Hopefully Chris will be back before four weeks are up."

Browns' Tucker violates NFL steroid policy

BEREA, Ohio -- Browns offensive tackle Ryan Tucker was suspended Friday for the first four games of the season for violating the NFL's steroid policy.
Tucker, one of Cleveland's leaders on the field and in the locker room, missed part of last season with what the team called a "mental disorder." He says he is now healthy and is eligible to return to the roster Oct. 1, one day after the Browns host the Baltimore Ravens.
"I didn't intend to compromise the integrity of the NFL, my team," Tucker said following Friday's morning practice. "I want to apologize to the fans, my family. It's been a long road. I was pretty down and out last year, and in my attempt to come back I took a banned substance. I'm going to fulfill this punishment and get it behind me."
Tucker will be allowed to stay with the Browns during training camp and preseason. However, coach Romeo Crennel said the 32-year-old player may not participate in team activities once the suspension without pay starts Sept. 1.
Tucker won a Super Bowl ring with the St. Louis Rams and has been a rock at right tackle for the Browns since joining them as a free agent in 2002. The 11-year veteran started all 16 games in 2005, and in 2003 he was the only Cleveland offensive player to be on the field for every snap.
He talked about "getting the respect and trust back of my teammates" earlier this week, but he wouldn't elaborate.
Tucker was placed on the reserve-non-football-illness list for the final eight games last season. At the time, the Browns said Tucker's disorder was one "commonly experienced by the general population as well as by professional athletes." Tucker has given no details about his illness.
"I didn't know if playing again was a possibility," he said. "The bottom line is I'm healthy now, my family's healthy and happy, people are behind me here and my family's behind me."
This season, he was being counted on to anchor the right side of Cleveland's offensive line, which was rebuilt during the offseason. The Browns signed guards Eric Steinbach and Seth McKinney as free agents and selected left tackle Joe Thomas with the No. 3 overall pick in April's draft.
The suspension is the latest distraction for the Browns, who have had just one winning season since their expansion return to the league in 1999.
Earlier this week, defensive tackle Orpheus Roye, the club's best lineman, underwent knee surgery and could miss the Sept. 9 opener. Also, rookie quarterback Brady Quinn has yet to sign and report to camp.
