Former Iowa Hawkeyes offensive lineman Brandon Scherff has been elected to the Iowa Hawkeyes Class of 2025 Hall of Fame. The Iowa guard spent 2010-2014 with the Hawkeyes, and in that time, he left a huge impact on the Iowa football program.

Chiefs place Felix Anudike-Uzomah on injured reserve, ending the 2023 first-round pick's season
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs placed defensive end Felix Anudike-Uzomah on injured reserve Monday, ending the season for the 2023 first-round pick, who has struggled to live up to expectations following a standout career at Kansas State. The Chiefs also waived running back Elijah Young and signed defensive end Owen Carney and linebacker Xander Mueller. Anudike-Uzomah came out of high school in the Kansas City suburb of Lee's Summit, Missouri, and he was a popular pick when the Chiefs selected him 32nd overall in a draft they hosted in 2023. But he has just three sacks and eight tackles for loss over 34 games his first two seasons in the league, and now he will miss the upcoming season altogether. 'That's a tough thing,' Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. 'I mean, he's worked hard. We'll see where it goes. I can't tell you how long it's going to be. It's disappointing for him because he's worked so stinking hard.' Anudike-Uzomah had been buried on the depth chart behind starting defensive ends George Karlaftis and Mike Danna, veteran pass rusher Charles Omenihu and Ashton Gillotte, a third-round pick out of Louisville in April's draft. The Chiefs returned to their practice facility Monday following a preseason loss in Seattle last Friday night. Among those missing the workout were defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott (ankle), defensive backs Mike Edwards (hamstring) and Nazeeh Johnson (shoulder), linebacker Jack Cochrane (knee) and wide receiver Jalen Royals (knee). In a bit of positive injury news, Marquise Brown returned to the field Monday after dealing with an ankle that has sidelined him for much of training camp. Brown has sat out both of the Chiefs' preseason games, and Reid declined to say whether he would be on the field for their final exhibition game against the Bears on Friday night. Kansas City opens the regular season against the Chargers on Sept. 5 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. 'Hollywood (Brown) did a little work yesterday, which was good. He'll get a little more today and then we'll see,' Reid said. 'We'll see how he progresses through this thing. But it's not a matter of wanting to be out there. He wants to do it. We're just taking it slow. We don't want any setbacks with this going forward here.' ___ AP NFL:

Steelers HC Mike Tomlin reveals goals for RB Kaleb Johnson in preseason finale
Steelers rookie RB Kaleb Johnson more than lived up to expectations against the Buccaneers last Saturday — and HC Mike Tomlin shared what's next for the third-rounder's development. Following Monday's practice, reporters asked Tomlin what he hopes to see out of Johnson heading into the preseason finale — and the long-time Steelers head coach kept it simple: it's all about comfort level. "I just want to continue to see him get more comfortable in this environment," Tomlin said. "I think the more comfortable he gets, the less fuel he burns in anticipation, if you will, the more his talents are going to show. I think you saw it from game one to game two. It's reasonable to expect that to continue." Comparing Johnson's preseason Week 1 outing to Week 2, it's easy to see the third-round rookie looked far more comfortable in his second appearance — where his fantastic vision and cuts were on full display throughout his 50-yard rushing performance last Saturday. Fans will have one last opportunity to catch Johnson in preseason action when the Steelers head to Charlotte to take on the Carolina Panthers on Thursday, August 21, at 7:00 p.m. ET — which fans can learn more about here.

Dolphins host 3 offensive linemen for tryouts
The Miami Dolphins hosted three offensive linemen for tryouts Monday, according to the NFL's daily transaction report. Undrafted rookies Elijah Ellis and Ozzie Hutchinson, along with third-year guard Mason Taylor spent the day in Miami. Ellis and Hutchinson joined the Los Angeles Chargers and Baltimore Ravens earlier this year after they weren't picked in the 2025 NFL draft, but both were waived in training camp. Taylor, 25, spent his rookie year with the Washington Commanders and had stints on the Carolina Panthers and Indianapolis Colts practice squads in 2024. Earlier this year he played for the UFL's DC Defenders. The Dolphins are dealing with a few injuries along the offensive line with starting right tackle Austin Jackson currently sidelined along with backups Liam Eichenberg and Andrew Meyer. While head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Monday that he remains convinced Jackson will be ready for Week 1, depth is thin behind the starting group. Miami also reportedly brought in four-time Pro Bowl pass rusher Matthew Judon on a visit with the intention of adding him to the roster, although he didn't appear on the transaction wire.
