FOOTBALL IS FAMILY: @charleslenojr72 and @jennifermleno72 weren't expecting their 3rd child for another month when Baby Leno had other plans.

With Charles away, his teammates stepped up.

Kelvin Harmon is going into year 3 with the Rivera staff and still hasn’t taken a live snap under them. They must see a significant pulse there. They aren’t just keeping him around as a career camp body.

It’s kinda crazy how Ryan Fitzpatrick, Brandon Scherff, DeShazor Everett, Chase Young, Logan Thomas and Jon Bostic were all team captains last season. And none of them will be playing week 1 this year.

Asked Chase Young what it was like having Ryan Kerrigan out at practice: "He’s a guy I looked up to since middle school, so it was definitely an honor just to play with him. Good to see him. Good to see all the little RKs with him." (Kerrigan has 3 daughters under the age of 3.)

Free agent LB Reuben Foster, hoping to kick-start his comeback after recovery from a major knee injury, has a workout today with the #Seahawks, source said. Foster hasn’t played since 2018, but the former #49ers and #Commanders LB has had several workouts. Another chance today.

In fairness to Hamilton, manning up on slot receivers is 100% not in his wheelhouse. He’s more of a pure tight end eraser.

I think the staff is just testing the limits of what he can and can’t do and learning some lessons today.

And that’s okay with me, tbh. https://t.co/poi3FKat7m

After seven years of playing home games at FedEx Field, Brandon Scherff returns there for Week One of the 2022 season, as a member of the Jaguars. He said Sunday that he gets no extra excitement from that. https://t.co/GvKCn0jFUL

This, btw, is *in spite* of the fact that (1) TEs now catch about the same number of passes than RBs, while RBs used to catch 2x as many passes as TEs; and (2) WRs now catch more passes than RBs/TEs combined, while the reverse used to be true.

— Football Perspective (@fbgchase) July 31, 2022

Is this a good thing? As always, it depends. There are a bunch of trade-offs between running/passing and deep passing/short passing, that will vary as rules changes are implemented. That said, the bottom 10 QBs in yards/completion last year (and most years) were not very good: pic.twitter.com/7SPFfxT4zF

The NFLPA has issued a statement saying it will not appeal Sue L. Robinson’s ruling on Deshaun Watson, and calling on the NFL to do the same. pic.twitter.com/I6V9BSnPVq

— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) July 31, 2022

Those involved have expected a suspension of less-than-a-year, but this remains a little unpredictable ... because this is Robinson's call, and her first NFL case.

If it IS less than a year, then Roger Goodell will have an interesting call to make. https://t.co/cD67usKrVG

— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) July 31, 2022

Deshaun Watson has reached confidential settlements with 3 out of the remaining 4 civil lawsuits that were filed against him, according to attorney Tony Buzbee.

Ashley Solis, the first plaintiff, is among those to settle.

There is only one civil lawsuit against Watson left.

— Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) August 1, 2022

Interesting that the league was no longer insisting on an indefinite suspension with right to apply for reinstatement after a certain number of games. But the heavy fine was the tradeoff and Watson/NFLPA balked at it.

— Dan Graziano (@DanGrazianoESPN) August 1, 2022

FWIW, the arbitrator, Sue L. Robinson, hasn't informed either side of her decision on Watson. The decision by the NFLPA/Watson's camp to say they'll stand by her decision is based on the case now having been before two grand juries and a judge.

They feel like that's enough.

The NBA family just learned this afternoon that Bill Russell, the 11-time champion and Hall of Fame icon of the Boston Celtics, who used that fame to further the civil rights cause in the United States during the turbulent 1960s, has died at the age of 88.

The legendary Nichelle Nichols has died at 89.

Her son Kyle announced the news of her passing.

Nichols was a trailblazer.

She was one of the first Black actors to play a major role on a television series and the type of role she had on Star Trek was groundbreaking. pic.twitter.com/cA8KKnmdTb

From the great Bob Ryan on Bill Russell: “In his final 14 years as a basketball player, Bill Russell’s team participated in 21 winner-take-all contests (nine NCAA tournament games, one Olympic gold medal game, 10 Game 7s, one deciding Game 5), and Bill Russell’s team won all 21.”
