To replace him on the roster, they signed defensive lineman LaBryan Ray. The Alabama product spent time with the Patriots last year and recently played in the XFL. (from that link)

Olsen had to correct his play calls in the huddle at times.

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/sony-michel-abruptly-retires-from-nfl-two-time-super-bowl-winning-running-back-calls-it-quits-at-age-28/ Sony Michel has decided to retire. McVay said the running back officially gave him the news during a meeting early Saturday. "We got a chance to meet [Saturday] morning and he was just kind of letting me know how his body was feeling and just some of his thoughts," McVay said of Michel. "And I think the most important thing is that he has clarity and feels at peace with the decision and what a competitor. I was sad for us, but I was happy for him and I know he gave a lot to this game and he can be really proud of everything that he's done and I'm looking forward to seeing what's next in his next chapter." Michel's surprising decision to retire comes barely one month after he had made the decision to return to the Rams. After winning a Super Bowl with the Rams in 2021, Michel signed with the Chargers in 2022 before making the decision to re-sign with McVay's team late last month. ...Michel only played five seasons

Someone has a temper problem. This was not the first time Kelce got involved in a heated scuffle during the training camp. The day before, he had a confrontation with a referee, which included more than usual extracurricular activity during practice. Additionally, Kelce had a previous altercation with cornerback Dicaprio Bootle, who also attempted to swipe at the ball after the play had ended. Safety Bryan Cook and running back La'Mical Perine had to intervene to separate them. "Gotta be a better teammate gotta be a better leader... plain and simple," Kelce tweeted on Saturday. https://www.marca.com/en/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/2023/07/30/64c62c0ee2704eb9a98b45c2.html

He's on PUP.

Good updates in the bot thread link.

Great to see those guys together Awesome that Smitty and Moose are involved. Mingo seems like a really good dude. Hoping for great success for him here. How cool would it be to have that rookie to rookie connection take off this year.

Wow. Did this at the 1st practice. That's some bad luck. Had the chance to play for his hometown team. Hate it for him.

We have football PTSD...helps to talk about it.

But going out of your way to trash other teams and coaches?? Just makes him look bad. What do you accomplish by putting other people down? 1)-you prove you are a jerk.

"I'm not a slick talker"

That did not look good. Wondering if more will be revealed.

We've known for a long time that he is a classless dick. He just can't help not proving it over and over. He is going to make me be a Roger's fan week 4. That is no small feat.

I bet Bryce is PISSED!

Great talent and very troubled soul. Recently posted: Sinead O'Connor posted about her son Shane's death in the days leading up to her own. O'Connor recently took to Twitter, where she reflected on her 17-year-old son's suicide, writing that she's been "lost" since his untimely death. Shane died in January 2022 after going missing in Ireland. "Been living as undead night creature since.. He was the love of my life, the lamp of my soul," O'Connor wrote of Shane. "We were one soul in two halves. He was the only person who ever loved me unconditionally. I am lost in the bardo without him." https://www.etonline.com/sinead-oconnor-posted-about-her-son-shanes-2022-suicide-just-days-before-her-death-208733 Can't imagine having to deal with the death and suicide of a child.

Day 1 Bryce Summary: https://theathletic.com/4723756/2023/07/26/panthers-bryce-young-training-camp-first-day/?source=dailyemail&campaign=601983 With his parents Craig and Julie among those watching Wednesday at Wofford, Young got off to a good start during team drills with three consecutive completions. The first two went to Adam Thielen on underneath routes, with Shi Smith pulling in the third pass on a shallow crosser. Young did a nice job stepping up in the pocket on the second throw to Thielen; in a real game, defensive end Kobe Jones might have sacked him. On Young’s next series, nose tackle Marquan McCall got a hand up to bat away a Young pass. A few plays later, Young hit DJ Chark deep down the middle of the field on a completion of about 45 yards or so. Chark got a step on backup cornerback Keith Taylor and Young found him before free safety Xavier Woods could arrive. “I was just trying to put the ball up and let him go make a play,” Young said. It was the first of two long-ish completions to Chark, the former Jacksonville and Detroit wideout with great speed who also hauled in a corner route. “DJ’s someone who’s been around, has had a lot of success at different places. He’s a vet that you can tell knows exactly where to be,” Young said. “Super explosive. Really, he’s doing all the hard work. He’s the one getting open.” It was good to see Young air a couple balls out because much of what he did during OTAs and minicamp focused on short- and intermediate-length routes. But he showed good touch on those, too. Near the end of practice Young perfectly led Raheem Blackshear on a swing route so the second-year back didn’t have to break stride. Young, who was 9-of-12 passing, said there’s plenty he can work on. “From eyes to reads to feet, there’s everything you want to improve on. Pre-snap operation, being crisp throughout the huddle, things like that.” Reich pointed out a couple of times when the ball came out early from Young. But Reich, a former NFL quarterback, is going to be patient with his 22-year-old QB. “When we have a bad play, nobody’s gonna panic. And Bryce knows he’s gonna feel that from our staff. That’s already been said. ‘Hey, you’re the guy. Let’s go,’” Reich said. “There’s gonna be some ups and downs, but no one’s gonna try to predict how it’s gonna play out the first year. You just don’t know.”

We know @Mr. Scotthat there is an exception.

He has been a so so player on crappy teams with crappy coaches. This year is the test. Hope he lives up to what many think is his potential. Besides being in a better situation now he is playing for MONEY!
