Chris Brockman Updates the Latest on Key NFL Training Camp Injuries and Moves

The injury news came in faster than anyone wanted, and the worst of it happened on the air.

Chris relayed a report from Chris Raymond, who covers the Chargers for ESPN, that a medical cart came out during a joint practice with the 49ers for center Tyler Biadasz, who went down after Sebastian Valdez fell on his left knee during 11-on-11s. Los Angeles signed him in free agency on a three-year, $30 million deal.

Rich took it personally, having just spent a segment asking the football gods to stop kicking that offensive line in the nards. Not today, apparently.

Quentin Johnston came up limping on the same field after a leaping attempt, with trainers working on a lower body injury. Then the Chargers announced Justin Herbert is starting their preseason week two game, which prompted an immediate rethink-that from the studio. Matthew Stafford never plays in the preseason. Aaron Rodgers never does either.

Elsewhere, the thing everyone feared for Jordyn Tyson happened. The rookie Saints receiver has a hamstring injury and will miss about two months.

Christian McCaffrey's situation drew a different kind of eyebrow. Ian Rapoport reported actual tightness, not wallet tightness, and that it "doesn't seem like anything to worry about." He did not practice against the Chargers, which made it his eighth straight missed day. Scoring at home, that is officially time to be worried.

The best item of the run was a math problem. Keenan Allen signed a one-year deal worth up to $8 million with the Colts, and Rich asked where 50 more catches would put him on the all-time receptions list.

Top three. Allen sits at 1,055 catches, seven shy of Andre Johnson, 15 shy of Reggie Wayne, 21 shy of Anquan Boldin, 23 shy of Terrell Owens, 39 shy of Tim Brown, 46 shy of Cris Carter and 47 shy of Marvin Harrison. Forty-eight catches leapfrogs all of them. Only Larry Fitzgerald at 1,432 and Jerry Rice at 1,549 would remain.

"He's got Hall of Fame numbers," Rich said, then used the list to argue that Boldin belongs in Canton already.

Za'Darius Smith is signing with the Falcons, who badly needed edge help, after the Browns had him in their building and thought they had him. Keon Coleman scored over the weekend but was seen in a walking boot with a sprained toe.

The Jets got a two-part update. Breece Hall is out roughly two to three weeks with a groin, courtesy of the MetLife turf monster, and Aaron Glenn confirmed the timeline covers a teammate as well.

"Breece with the groin and Michael with the calf, both of those guys will be out two to three weeks, so those guys will be ready for the regular season," Glenn said. Asked about the relief, he kept it general. "Obviously for that player, knowing how important he is for what we're doing, it's really exciting to hear it."

The rest came in a burst. Josh Jacobs returned to practice for Green Bay coming off a groin issue. Jeremiah Love will not need surgery for a high ankle sprain, though he is out until at least week one, which was news to a studio that did not know surgery had ever been in the equation. Najee Harris is going to the Giants on a one-year deal. Tyquan Thornton got carted off at Chiefs practice with a hamstring injury. Jayden Higgins picked up a lower body injury at Texans practice.

One non-injury note worth filing: Fernando Mendoza got extensive reps with the ones.

"Let's get everyone back in healthy," Rich said. Lot going on.
