Colts C Ryan Kelly (elbow) is expected to miss a "couple weeks" of training camp.
Kelly was shut down after getting injured in 11-on-11 drills this week. It's another setback to an offensive line that already without LT Eric Fisher (Achilles, active/PUP). Kelly's timetable puts him on track to be ready for Week 1.

On Saturday, Trey Lance ran designed run plays for the first time in 49ers training camp.
ESPN's Nick Wagoner reported that several of Lance's rushing attempts would have gone for big gains in a game setting, and that DC DeMeco Ryans acknowledged that Lance "stressed the defense in new ways." As you would expect, Kyle Shanahan has been scheming up plays specifically designed to utilize the third overall pick. Lance, who ran for 1,100 yards in his only full college season, offers a special blend of rushing ability and passing upside. Jimmy Garoppolo, who threw two interceptions Saturday, will need to be at the top of his game to hold off Lance this season.

Frank Gore needs to execute better, my scheme is perfect - Adam Gase, probably

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Few notables to me:

DJs effectiveness still pretty good for a bloke people have completely written off
Myles Gaskin is a beast like ive always said
James Robinson is indeed a Fournette clone like people have said
Damien Harris one of the more underrated backs going round by the general population, ditto Gus Edwards
Alexander Mattison should be a player teams target when he gets to free agency, plenty of wear left on the tires paying behind Cook, hes a teams RB1

 

[Exe Gesis]

Niners RBs with good numbers = OL and scheme is the cause

Likewise

Bengals RBs with bad numbers = OL and scheme is the cause

Bengals improved OL and got their previous run game coach from 2018 back, thats when Mixon and Bernard had good numbers.

Gus Edwards is a beast. Cam Akers was gonna have a good year.

Wow,sir

O found a tech-nerd way to force Chrome app browser to be in dark mode, and it's a better version than Bigfootys dark mode.

The writing is a bit lighter so you can see text better, and best of all, it forces reddit content to always appear in dark mode....check out the screen cap below.....bitches....

 

[Exe Gesis]

To do it, copy-paste the following line into your chrome browser, enter, and then select ENABLE. To tinker with options you can try one of the other enabled options.

chrome://flags/#enable-force-dark

 

[Exe Gesis]

Also means all webpages will always appear in dark mode. Eg, see rotoworld and profootballtalk pages now.....screencaps....

 

[Exe Gesis]

But.....ove switched back to DEFAULT (not enabled) because it doesnt do a good job of rendering things like menu buttons and menu backgrounds.

 

[Exe Gesis]

However.....if you use firefox app for your browser, download the add-on called DARK READER. It does a MUCH better kob of rendering. Its perfect.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Dark Reader is available for Chrome desktop btw

Dark Reader

Dark mode for every website. Take care of your eyes, use dark theme for night and daily browsing.

chrome.google.com

 

[Exe Gesis]

Actually, better instruction for tweaking Chrome Browser mobile app. With this method, it creates a settings toggle button inside your THEME settings. Much easier, can toggle on off.

------------

You can easily activate the (forced) dark mode if you have not already. Here’s how to do it.

• Open chrome://flags
• Search "Darken websites checkbox in themes setting" and change it from Default to Enabled and restart your browser
• Go to Settings
• Tap on Themes and enable ‘Darken websites’ option

And there you have it. Now you can surf websites in dark mode, even if they don't have any such built-in feature.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

So many mixed messages.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Basically...

Firefox app for mobile....install the app Dark Reader. Wunderbar! Tres magnifique! Absolute purrfection.

Chrome app for mobile....no add on, but you can use the second method i posted, that creates a toggle on/off button inside SETTINGS > THEME. It doesnt do as good a job as DR does for Firefox but its probably better than BF dark mode. Tho some elements on a page are deficient.

Dark Reader is however available for desktop browsers -- chrome, firefox, edge.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Dark Reader â Get this Extension for ð¦ Firefox (en-US)

Download Dark Reader for Firefox. Dark mode for every website. Take care of your eyes, use dark theme for night and daily browsing.

Titans signed TE Luke Stocker.
Stocker returns to Tennessee after spending the past two seasons in Atlanta. The blocking tight end made 13 starts on a 45% snap rate last year and has 91 starts over 10 seasons. Stocker limits breakout candidate Anthony Firkser’s chances for an every-down role.

Seahawks signed QB Sean Mannion.
Mannion, who has ties to OC Shane Waldron, also visited with the Jets and Giants. The 29-year-old has spent the last two seasons backing up Kirk Cousins in Minnesota. Mannion's signing means Alex McGough or Danny Etling could open the year on the practice squad.

Lions quarterback David Blough has some company when it comes to taking some time out from training camp to keep an eye on the results of women’s hurdles races at the Summer Olympics in Tokyo.

Jasmine Camacho-Quinn finished first in the 100 meter hurdles semifinals on Sunday and ran the race in an Olympic record-setting time of 12.26 seconds. Camacho-Quinn is the younger sister of Bears edge rusher Robert Quinn and runs for Puerto Rico, which is where their mother was born.

Blough’s wife Melissa Gonzalez qualified for the semifinals of the 400 meter hurdles earlier this weekend. Her next race is at 7:55 a.m. Eastern time.

It’s the second time that Camacho-Quinn has participated in the Olympics. She failed to make the finals in 2016 after hitting a hurdle during her semifinal heat in Rio.

Camacho-Quinn’s bid for a gold medal will go off at 10:50 p.m. Eastern time on Sunday night.

Cards' Hicks: GM said I can't vie for starting job

Arizona Cardinals linebacker Jordan Hicks said he requested a trade this offseason after GM Steve Keim informed him he couldn't compete for a starting job this season.

Marcus Maye doesn’t rule out demanding trade — like Jamal Adams did — if Jets franchise tag him again in 2022

Jets safety Marcus Maye will play the 2021 season on the franchise tag.

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Dont know what Maye is whinging about. Hes a good safety but the franchise tag is well above what should be his pay grade.

New scheme under Saleh, Jets probably just want to see how effective hell be in it before committing long term.
