With NFL training camps underway, the league is abuzz with position battles, injury news and rookies making an immediate impact. Teez Tabor Jersey . Each day, TSN.ca provides the latest rumours, reports and speculation from around the NFL beat. Johnny Be Not So Good? Johnny Manziel may be behaving well off the field so far at Cleveland Browns training camp, but his performance on the field has reportedly been lacking. Jason Gibbs of ESPN Cleveland has been tracking Manziel over the first four day of camp and his numbers havent been too pretty. In seven-on-seven team drills, the controversial quarterback has completed just 42 of 85 passes (49.4 per cent), has been sacked twice and thrown three interceptions. Another three plays were aborted because of confusion. Manziel has completed one touchdown pass so far at camp. Brian Hoyer is still getting all the first-team reps, but head coach Mike Pettine said Thursday that Manziel will start to see some reps with the ones soon. Downed Canuck The Baltimore Ravens lost one of their draft picks - a Canadian - for the season on Thursday. Head coach John Harbaugh confirmed that defensive lineman Brent Urban will be put on the injured reserve with a torn ACL. The fourth round pick out of Virginia suffered the injury Wednesday during practice when he got tangled up with fellow rookie lineman Timmy Jernigan. Urban is from Mississauga and is also a second round pick of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Take Some Time The Miami Dolphins appear to be taking no chances with their star wide receiver Mike Wallace. According to Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald, Wallace will not practice until at least next week and will miss Miamis intrasquad scrimmage on Saturday with a hamstring injury. Wallace missed Wednesdays session and said his hamstring was "tight" earlier this week. Last season was his first with the Dolphins after spending the first four years of his career with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Miami is counting on the 27-year-old being a major part of their offence in 2014, so for them to be cautious should come as no surprise. Different Opinions New York Jets second-year player Dee Milliner said he was the best cornerback in the game over the weekend and hes gotten his share of criticism for it. Former Jets special teams coach Mike Westhoff was on ESPN radio Wednesday and shared his opinion of Milliner. "Dee Milliner is a guy that, its just taking him a little while," Westhoff said to ESPN. "I was not very impressed with his rookie year. He made the mistake—and sometimes I think its the way a guy phrases an answer to a question—about being the best cornerback in the league, and he said that he was. Man, Im not sure hes the best cornerback up here in Cortland. And I might include the university." Impressive Showing Drew Brees may have a new top receiver to look for this season. The Times-Picayune in New Orleans is reporting second-year wideout Nick Toon has been one of the most impressive players at Saints camp so far. He has "consistently come up with catches on nearly every pass pattern during training camp through the first five days," according to the Times-Picayune. Toon only appeared in eight games during his rookie season last year, recording four receptions. Ricky Wagner Jersey . And though his comeback night didnt quite go to script, Bryant couldnt help reflecting on the work necessary to get back on that court -- and all the months of steady labour ahead to reclaim his game. Bryant had nine points and eight rebounds in his season debut, but Amir Johnson scored a career-high 32 points in the trade-depleted Toronto Raptors 106-94 victory over Los Angeles on Sunday night. Nevin Lawson Jersey . -- Claudio Bieler hadnt scored since early September, and not from the run of play since mid-July.ROME - With nearly half the stadium closed to fans as punishment for territorial chants, not much was missed in a 0-0 draw between second-place Roma and fifth-place Inter Milan in Serie A on Saturday. Both sides came closest to scoring in the first half, when Roma had a goal from Mattia Destro waved off for offside and Inters Rodrigo Palacio headed high. "A draw was a fair result. Neither squad had many chances," Roma midfielder Miralem Pjanic said. The draw moved Roma provisionally within eight points of Juventus, which is heading toward its third consecutive title. Inter moved two points ahead of Hellas Verona in the race for the final Europa League spot. Roma had won eight straight at home — seven in Serie A and one in the Italian Cup. On Sunday, Juventus visits AC Milan, third-place Napoli plays at Livorno, and fourth-place Fioreentina hosts Lazio. Detroit Lions Jerseys. Roma was ordered to close the sections behind both goals, where the ultras sit, for anti-Naples chants during a cup match last month. Further insults heard against Sampdoria resulted in a third section being closed. Some 500 fans protested the ban outside the stadium by lighting fireworks and flares. Second-half substitute Pjanic nearly put Roma ahead in the 75th but his effort was denied with a tough save from Inter goalkeeper Samir Handanovic. "I could have done better but he made a good save," Pjanic said. On the ensuing corner, Pjanic rose above the defence for a header but missed the target. Replays could be used to ban Romas Daniele De Rossi for physical contact with Mauro Icardi during the first half and Inters Juan Jesus for contact with Alessio Romagnoli toward the end of the game.
