With NFL training camps underway, the league is abuzz with position battles, injury news and rookies making an immediate impact. Each day, TSN.ca provides the latest rumours, reports and speculation from around the NFL beat. Staying on the Bench After being officially listed as Geno Smiths backup on the New York Jets depth chart, ESPN New Yorks Rich Cimini doesnt believe Michael Vick will be used as a change-of-pace quarterback this season. The Jets are familiar with that approach, after using Tim Tebow in set plays in 2012. Cimini "got the impression" that head coach Rex Ryan would "rather mow the grass fields at SUNY-Cortland than try another Tim Tebow situation." Vick is expected to serve solely as Smiths backup, a role he has openly accepted. All Part of the Plan? Cleveland Browns head coach Mike Pettine said Johnny Manziel practicing with the first-team offence on Monday was simply part of the plan by the coaching staff. "We said we were going to allow the quarterbacks to compete," Pettine told the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "At some point youve got to mix up the supporting cast a little bit." Pettine did however say that he was not 100 per cent sure who would start Saturdays preseason game. Manziel outdueled Hoyer in the teams scrimmage, however Hoyer was listed as the starter on the Browns first depth chart, released Tuesday. Hoyer opened Tuesdays practice with the Browns first-team offence. Steeling a Spot Second-year wide receiver Markus Wheaton is listed as the starter across from Antonio Brown on the Pittsburgh Steelers first official depth chart. The Steelers lost wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders to the Denver Broncos in free agency, as well as Jerricho Cotchery to the Carolina Panthers and signed only pass catcher Lance Moore as a replacement. Wheaton played in 12 games – starting one – in 2013, he caught six passes for 64 yards and no touchdowns. Moore was listed as Wheatons backup, but figures to lineup in the slot in three-wide receiver packages. On the defensive side, first-round pick Ryan Shazier was listed as the starter at left inside linebacker on the initial depth chart. Shazier was selected 15th overall in Mays draft out of Ohio State University. On the Ball ESPNs Chris Mortensen reported on Monday that despite undergoing an appendectomy, Denver Broncos running back Montee Ball has not been ruled out of the entire preseason. It was initially reported that Ball would be held out of game action until the Broncos regular season opener, with the average recovery time hovering around one month. Ball is slated to be the Broncos feature back this season, with Ronnie Hillman and C.J. Anderson battling in camp for backup duties.

The Oilers will try to get back in the win column on Monday when they continue a four-game road trip with a battle against the Buffalo Sabres. Edmonton won its third straight game last Wednesday against visiting San Jose, beating the Sharks 3-0 as Scrivens stopped 59 shots to set an NHL record for saves in a regular-season shutout. Deryk Engelland Jersey . With the final four being arguably the four best – and most complete – teams from the regular season, picking a winner is not as easy as it sounds.MINNEAPOLIS -- When Kevin Martin had to be scratched about 30 minutes before tipoff because of an illness, the Minnesota Timberwolves were in desperate need of another scorer to fill in. Corey Brewer has done everything else in his short time back in Minnesota, so why not him? Brewer scored 27 points, Kevin Love had 33 points, eight rebounds and six assists, and the Timberwolves beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 124-95 on Wednesday night. "I checked to see if it (said) Kevin Martin on the back," Ricky Rubio said of Brewer. "He was wearing his jersey or something. He was making shots and he was being Corey too, running on the fast break. Hes been great for us." Rubio had a career-high 16 assists to go with 16 points, six rebounds and three steals, and the Timberwolves outscored Cleveland 29-6 in transition points to run the Cavaliers out of the building. Martin is the teams second-leading scorer, averaging 24.6 points and shooting 55.8 per cent on 3s. Normally a reluctant shooter who feasts on easy opportunities on the break, Brewer morphed into an aggressive scorer in the first half to ease any concerns about Martins absence. Brewer scored the first nine points for Minnesota and 12 in the first quarter to get the Wolves out quickly. He hit all five of his 3-pointers and helped lock down Kyrie Irving and Dion Waiters on the other end. His energy carried over in a dominant first half. The Wolves outscored the Cavs 22-0 on the fast break and scored 16 points off seven turnovers to rack up 70 points in the first 24 minutes. "It was fun tonight," Brewer said. "We were passing the ball. Ricky had a great night. Kevin Love had a great night. The games easy when youre passing the ball." Irving scored 20 points on 8-for-17 shooting and survived a nasty collision in the first quarter for the Cavaliers. Anderson Varejao had 13 points and five rebounds starting for Andrew Bynum, who missed the game for personal reasons. The Cavs fell to 0-6 on the road this season. "Things that were not doing out there, things that need to be addressed within the locker room doors that are going to continue to be addressed,&qquot; Irving said.dddddddddddd "We just have to do better next time." The Wolves led by as many as 39 points, allowing their starters to sit the entire fourth quarter and get some much-needed rest during a grueling start to the schedule. The Cavaliers were caught flat-footed. They were outrebounded 49-37, outscored in the paint 56-32 and surrendered 100 points before there were 10 minutes gone in the third quarter. One game after coach Mike Brown surprised everyone by inserting Bynum into the starting lineup, the Cavs were without their centre while he tended to a family matter. Bynum is expected to miss two games, and the Cavs said it had nothing to do with his bothersome knees or an eyebrow-raising comment he made recently about having considered retirement. Bynum is expected to return on Saturday against Washington. Irving came into the game shooting just 37.7 per cent while he gets adjusted to a new system in Browns first season. Brown said he wasnt worried about the early season slump, but the coach clearly was concerned when his star player hit the deck hard after taking an inadvertent elbow from Brewer with under five minutes to play in the first quarter. Irving appeared to be a little woozy as he walked to the locker room holding a towel to his jaw. He was taken for X-rays, which came back negative, and returned in the second quarter. In a rocky start to his first season back on the Cavs bench, Brown tried to offer some encouragement after the ugly performance. "Obviously after a performance like that, youre concerned," Brown said. "But I thought we fought. Were nine games in and were going to keep on going forward." NOTES: Cavs F Anthony Bennett, the No. 1 overall pick, scored six points on 3-for-11 shooting. The point total was a career high for the struggling rookie. ... Rubio also had three steals and has had at least one in 30 straight games, the longest active streak in the league. ... The Wolves scored 38 points in the first quarter. They are averaging 33.4 points in the first quarter this season. ... Wolves rookie Robbie Hummel got his first start and finished with 10 points.
