Earnest Graham, RB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
According to the St. Petersburg Times, Earnest Graham got the first crack at goal-line carries in the Bucs' Wednesday practice.

Updating an earlier story, Reggie Bush (knee) was walking with a limp after practice though he said he was alright, according to the Associated Press. "I iced it just as a precaution, so when I ice it, that means I'm just maintaining," Bush said. "I've got to stay on top of it and treat it as if it was the first day I injured it."
L.J. Smith, TE, Baltimore Ravens
According to the Baltimore Sun, tight end L.J. Smith returned to the practice field on Wednesday.
Braylon Edwards, WR, Cleveland Browns
According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, finicky receiver Braylon Edwards practiced for the first time in training camp on Wednesday morning.
Jonathan Stewart, RB, Carolina Panthers
According to the Rock Hill Herald, Panthers' running back Jonathan Stewart is still experiencing pain in his Achilles.
The only thing worth mentioning concerning the Rams tight end Joe Klopenstein, his fall from grace (started 10 games in 2008) will re-open the door for tight end Randy McMichael (could resurface as a relevant fantasy play in 2009)….with Antonio Pittman not impressing in camp, expect this year in St. Louis to be the Steven Jackson show. The Rams featured back has certainly shown in the past the ability to carry the offense, but this fantasy risk will undoubtedly be his health….the news out of Foxboro with Brady practicing without a brace has to be very reassuring for those owners set on taking a chance…..Chris Brown may be impressing in camp, but he’s no threat to steal carries from Slaton and will have very little fantasy value when the season starts….seeing Brian Westbrook back on the practice field is always a bonus and for fantasy owners it will be key. Westbrook usually a high fantasy draft selection is now approaching the tender age of 30 and with his recent history of injuries he will be considered a riskier pick for owners….with Harry Douglas done, the Falcons receiving corp is not as deep and this could put some pressure on the brass to get Roddy White back in camp, definitely good news for fantasy owners….Tarvaris Jackson has returned to the field, but you have to figure he is now clearly now behind Rosenfels. It’s going to take a strong performance by Jackson and likely a few setbacks from Sage in order to see a change under center….Marshall’s soreness might be a little to early to be any concern, but you also have to wonder about its’ authenticity when you consider the receiver is not happy….finally fantasy owners might want to start monitoring the situation in Louisiana with Bush and his sore knee. It doesn’t look like much now, but if this becomes a chronic ailment, if could have huge ramifications on his availability and effectiveness throughout the season.
