BROWNS: Cleveland wideout Braylon Edwards was running a sprint in his socks when fellow receiver Donte’ Stallworth stepped on the back of his foot and opened a cut that required stitches and a night in the hospital.
Edwards spent Saturday night at the Cleveland Clinic and was released Sunday afternoon. The stay was precautionary and the injury wasn’t thought to be serious, Browns coach Romeo Crennel said.
TEXANS: Houston running back Ahman Green will likely sit out the team’s preseason game against New Orleans this week with a pulled groin, but coach Gary Kubiak said the injury isn’t serious.
Green was hurt on the Texans’ first offensive play in Saturday night’s 19-16 preseason win over Denver.
STEELERS: Pittsburgh signed veteran quarterback Byron Leftwich, choosing the former Jacksonville Jaguars starter over Daunte Culpepper, a three-time Pro Bowl player.
The Steelers signed the 28-year-old Leftwich after both he and Culpepper worked out Sunday morning at the team’s training camp at Saint Vincent College.
Pittsburgh needed a backup for Ben Roethlisberger after veteran Charlie Batch broke his right collarbone Friday night.
EAGLES: Philadelphia guard Shawn Andrews reported to training camp afternoon after missing the first 17 days for unexcused personal reasons.
Andrews told two newspapers last week that he was battling depression, which he said started a year ago and had worsened.
It is uncertain when the two-time Pro Bowl selection will practice.
49ERS: San Francisco waived veteran linebacker Brandon Moore, opening a roster spot that could go to two-time Pro Bowl linebacker Takeo Spikes.
