Lambert-Smith scored a really nice touchdown during the preseason game for Los Angeles to go along with a beautiful catch from a quarterback Trey Lance pass in the first half.

His uncle actually played in the NFL, and you've absolutely heard of him. Lambert-Smith is former Settle Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor's nephew. Talk about a football factoid to make you feel old!
According to The Athletic's Robert Mays, the Chargers are quite high on the rookie receiver.

Rob Pelinka comments on LeBron James' future with the Lakers
At a press conference on Saturday, Rob Pelinka, the Los Angeles Lakers' general manager, announced that Luka Doncic had agreed to a contract extension. According to ESPN, the extension will last for three years and pay the superstar $165 million. Several of Doncic's teammates were present for the press conference, but LeBron James wasn't. Over the last several weeks, some have speculated that he and his camp are unhappy that he isn't the centerpiece of the franchise anymore and that it has instead started to build around the 26-year-old Doncic. James exercised his player option for the 2025-26 season, and it is widely expected that he will start the new season as a member of the Lakers. Pelinka was asked at Saturday's presser about the relationship between the organization and James' camp. "All the interactions we've had with LeBron and his camp, Rich [Paul] in particular, have been positive and supportive," Pelinka said. "The dialogue with [Paul] has been open and constant." The executive was also asked if he thinks the 40-year-old will retire as a Laker. "I think the number one thing we have to do there is respect he and his family's decision in terms of how long he's going to play," Pelinka said. "We want to respect his ability to come up with his timetable on that. I think that's really important. But, if he had a chance to retire a Laker, that would be great." When James decided to opt in to his player option on June 29, Paul issued a statement where he said the two want to "evaluate what's best" for James moving forward. Many interpreted that portion of the statement as a prelude to a trade request, but Paul has insisted that neither he nor James has asked the Lakers for a trade.

Lions sign veteran offensive tackle, waive Raequan Williams
Herron takes over Williams' No. 76 jersey on the roster The Lions have made their first roster move following the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Detroit has signed veteran offensive lineman Justin Herron and released defensive lineman Raequan Williams. Herron, 29, has been around the NFL since 2020, when he was a sixth-round pick of the New England Patriots. He played collegiately at Wake Forest and quickly took over the starting left tackle role in New England as a rookie, but has started just four games in the subsequent four seasons. Herron missed the 2024 season with an injury while a member of the New Orleans Saints. He's also played for the Raiders. Williams had signed with the Lions this spring after a successful tryout at the rookie minicamp. The former Michigan State tackle had not progressed up the depth chart in his quest to get back into the NFL. Per team sources, Herron will take over Williams' No. 76 on the roster. The move comes in the wake of Dan Skipper suffering a sprained left ankle in the exhibition opener. Skipper will miss some practice time. Starting left tackle Taylor Decker is starting positional drills in Sunday's practice.

Indianapolis Colts salary cap update before first preseason game
Here is a look at the Indianapolis Colts' salary cap situation with the first preseason game approaching. With the Indianapolis Colts' first preseason game already on the horizon, let's take a step back and take a look at where Chris Ballard's team stands from a salary cap perspective at this time. The Colts currently have $19.046 million in available cap space, according to Over the Cap. Compared to the rest of the NFL, this ranks as the 19th-most. While all major spending when it comes to roster-building is well behind us, there will be a few additional salary cap expenses coming down the road for the Colts. One of which is they'll need available space to assemble the practice squad, and they'll want to make sure they have in-season reserves available for any spending that might take place at that time. This could include making a trade, a free agent signing, or practice squad elevations on game days. But every team potentially has those expenses--not just the Colts. Overall, they are positioned well salary cap-wise, and Ballard has the flexibility to continue tweaking the roster if needed. It's also not as if any free agent signing at this stage of the offseason will break the bank. Colts' five largest salary cap hits in 2025
