3 observations from the final day of Buffalo Bills training camp
The team will head back to Orchard Park to take on the preseason. In terms of Day 12 of training camp, what stood out the most?
Here are three observations from the 12th day of Bills training camp:
Cook's finale
It was a weird one for the James Cook saga as training camp concluded.
Prior to practice, head coach Sean McDermott indicated that Cook was expected to practice... then he did not. It's unclear what happened with the Pro Bowl running back. The story is certainly a heavily monitored one now.
Starters plan
The plan for the Bills' starters was also revealed ahead of the team's preseason opener against the New York Giants on Saturday. Quarterback Josh Allen will not play... but other starters will get in about a quarter's worth of work.
Kicker likely coming
McDermott also indicated a kicker addition is likely to come before Saturday. Tyler Bass (pelvic) has missed eight-straight workouts and won't go against the Giants. McDermott said two kickers worked out with the Bills on Thursday, but did not indicate who... but someone needs to kick in the game.

Steelers countdown to kickoff — No. 28: a history of the number and who wore it best
The Steelers countdown to kickoff is here — and we're at 28 days until Pittsburgh faces off against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium. In the spirit of the countdown, we're taking a look at the history of No. 28 and the players who wore it best. Current Steelers No. 28 wearer: S Miles Killebrew One of the best special teams contributors in the NFL, Killebrew is the current Steelers wearer of No. 28. Signing with Pittsburgh as a free agent in 2021, Killebrew has earned two Pro Bowl nominations and one First-Team All-Pro selection over the past two seasons — the heart and soul of the Steelers special teams unit, who's looking to make an even bigger splash in 2025. Last five Steelers to wear No. 28: Best No. 28 in Steelers history: DB Clendon Thomas DB Clendon Thomas is the best Steeler to ever wear No. 28. A standout collegiate athlete known for his ability to play a multitude of positions, Thomas was selected by the Los Angeles Rams with the 19th overall pick in the second round of the 1958 NFL Draft. He was traded to the Steelers in 1962 — where he earned one Pro Bowl nomination and three Second-Team All-Pro selections during his stellar Pittsburgh tenure. From 1962 to 1968, Thomas produced 23 interceptions for the Black and Gold — the thirteenth-most by a Steeler all time. His contributions to the Steel City brand of football earned him a spot on the Pittsburgh Steelers Legends Team — leaving no doubt that he was the best to ever wear No. 28.

The GOAT will see the Commanders live in Week 1
The Washington Commanders are must-see TV in 2025. Yes, you read that correctly. One year after going 12-5 and reaching the NFC championship for the first time in 33 years, the Commanders will have several prime-time games this season. In addition to five prime-time games, Washington has three standalone games. What is a standalone game? A game played at a time other than 1 or 4 p.m. on Sunday or traditional prime-time games. The Commanders play the Miami Dolphins in Madrid on a Sunday morning, the Eagles on a Saturday the week before Christmas, and the Dallas Cowboys on Christmas Day. But even Washington's 1 p.m. games are drawing the interest of others. The Commanders' Week 1 game against the New York Giants has earned "Game of the Week" honors from Fox. That means, Fox's No. 1 broadcasting team, featuring the GOAT Tom Brady, will be in Landover for the NFC East showdown. Joining Brady will be play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt and sideline reporters Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi. The Giants were 3-14 last season. While they should be much better in 2025, Brady isn't in town for the New York Giants. It's all about Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels and the expectations surrounding the Commanders in 2025. This article originally appeared on Commanders Wire: Tom Brady is on the call for the Commanders' Week 1 game vs. Giants

Titans' Tyjae Spears has high ankle sprain
Titans running back Tyjae Spears suffered an apparent high ankle sprain during Saturday night's postseason game. Spears was carted off the field and a high ankle sprain was the initial diagnosis, according to Turron Davenport of ESPN. Titans coach Brian Callahan said after the game that it's too soon to say how much time Spears will miss. "Further evaluation. We'll see. Looks like it's probably an ankle, we'll see what the severity is as we evaluate it a little further," Callahan said. Spears is the Titans' backup running back behind Tony Pollard. If Spears isn't ready for the start of the regular season, that would open up an opportunity to rookie sixth-round draft pick Kalel Mullings, who had seven carries for 33 yards on Saturday.
