Baltimore Ravens safety Matt Elam praised Calvin Johnson by describing him as "big, fast, athletic, unstoppable, freak." However, Elam also called Johnson "pretty old" and questioned Megatron's physicality. Johnson is only 28, and he definitely isn't afraid of contact, but thanks for the bulletin board material, Mr. Elam.
- The Lions filled the open spot on their practice squad by signing wide receiver Cody Wilson, who was with the team last summer.

Ryan Broyles recently provided an update on his latest recovery from a serious injury.
