Dolphins receiver Dee Eskridge injures leg at the end of Saturday's practice
On the final play of the day, Eskridge grabbed at his hamstring as he attempted to walk off. The 28-year-old wideout eventually needed to be taken off via cart.
Eskridge joined the Dolphins midway through the 2024 season, serving primarily as a return specialist. He suffered a knee injury during the Fins' Week 14 against the New York Jets. The receiver subsequently missed the following two games with a knee injuries.
A return in Week 17 against the Cleveland Browns was short-lived as he would miss the season finale against the Jets with a finger injury. He finished the 2024 season with three catches for 44 yards as well as five returns for 146 yards.
The Seattle Seahawks picked Eskridge in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft. He spent the first three years with the Seahawks, racking up 17 catches, 122 yards and a single touchdown.

Panthers WR Jimmy Horn Jr. talks about reuniting with Browns QB Shedeur Sanders next week
The hype train of Carolina Panthers rookie wideout Jimmy Horn Jr. made a new stop tonight. In a change of scenery from their previous eight training camp sessions, the Panthers set up shop at Bank of America Stadium for this summer's Fan Fest on Friday. One of the stars from the outing was Horn, who has been turning heads with his speed and explosiveness since the spring. After practice, head coach Dave Canales was asked what stands out most about the electric sixth-round pick. "I think it's the energy he plays with," Canales told reporters. "He doesn't quit on routes, he continues. After the normal part of the protection you can count on, he continues to find space and play fast. It's a credit to his fitness, but it's also a credit to just the energy he puts out there." Horn put out more than just energy on the evening. He scored twice, both on passes from backup quarterback Andy Dalton, and even made a touchdown-saving tackle on a fake punt attempt. He'd take the lectern as well, and was asked if he's noticed the hype around him. "Yeah, I seen it," Horn replied. "But I try not to, like, feed into it. I appreciate all the hype and stuff, but I feel still like I haven't did anything yet. So I just wanna go out there and continue to prove myself every day and become a consistent player." The Panthers may get their best look yet on Horn next Friday, when they host the Cleveland Browns for their first preseason contest. That matchup will also feature 2025 fifth-round pick Shedeur Sanders, who was Horn's quarterback at the University of Colorado. "It's gonna be exciting to see him again," Horn said of Sanders. "Can't wait to see how he doin' out there, like, see him in person and stuff. It's gonna be good to see him again. I talk to him here and there, but it's just gonna be good to see him again and reunite with him." The two Buffaloes, who connected for seven touchdowns between 2023 and 2024, will also get a chance to see each other before kickoff—as the Panthers and Browns are set to lock up for a joint practice in the week leading up to the game.

Aaron Glenn gets emotional as the reality of being the Jets' head coach 'hit me pretty hard'
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The reality of the situation finally hit Aaron Glenn. More than seven months after being hired by the New York Jets, the first-time NFL head coach got surprisingly emotional Saturday. And it had nothing to do with the 12 penalties called on his team during practice. 'I'm sure this is going to hit at some point, but I told the players this: The first time since I became head coach, today was the first day it really hit me,' Glenn said to open his post-practice news conference. "And it hit me once I heard the fans give the 'J-E-T-S' chant. 'And I don't know why, but it just hit me.' The 53-year-old Glenn was drafted by the Jets in the first round in 1994 and played for the franchise for eight of his 15 NFL seasons. The three-time Pro Bowl cornerback was also a personnel scout for New York for two seasons and a longtime assistant coach, most recently as Detroit's defensive coordinator for four seasons, before getting the chance to lead his former team. 'It hit me pretty hard,' Glenn said, his voice cracking slightly. "Man, I am so thankful. I'm thankful for this organization that gave me a shot. I'm thankful for this organization that gave me my second shot at becoming a coach. 'I don't know why, fellas. But it hit me and hit me pretty hard, and, man, I just feel grateful. Grateful to be in this position.' Glenn, along with new general manager Darren Mougey, faces the task of turning around the fortunes of a franchise that has the NFL's longest active playoff drought at 14 seasons. He has talked several times since being hired in January about changing the culture around the Jets and building them into a consistent winner by stressing fundamentals and competition. But with the team practicing in front of packed stands for its annual scrimmage at the facility, Glenn couldn't shake his emotions — especially when he heard the fans. 'Yeah, I was,' Glenn said when asked if he was surprised he felt that way. 'I thought it had already hit me.' One thing Glenn has focused on during training camp is cutting down on penalties after the Jets were called for the most in the league in each of the past two seasons. He has officials at every practice to try to get players to understand how plays will be called. But it didn't seem to help much Saturday. The Jets had 12 penalties called on them during what Glenn called a 'pseudo scrimmage,' including several holding calls. 'There are a lot of things we've got to clean up and the one thing I'm sure everybody saw is the penalties,' the coach said. 'I'm glad we had the refs out there because that's one thing we want to hit — we want to make sure we hit those hard. And I want them to ref it just like it was a game and I thought they did a good job of that.' It made for a sloppy practice as Justin Fields and the rest of offense, including the backups, struggled throughout the session. Some calls even had the fans booing. 'There's no excuses,' Glenn said. 'Our players understand that. We know penalties, they're discipline issues and we've got to make sure we are more disciplined in aspects on both sides of the ball. We will get those cleaned up, I promise you that. But there's a lot of work to do.' Cornerback ace Kris Boyd left the field on a cart after injuring a shoulder during special teams drills. He went down on the sideline and was writhing in pain while he was looked at by trainers. Glenn had no immediate word on his condition. Glenn said wide receiver Xavier Gipson also injured a shoulder on the final play of practice when he tried to catch a pass in the end zone. Safety Jaylin Simpson was sidelined with a hamstring injury.
