SUNY Cortland - The Jets are experimenting with OT Wayne Hunter as an extra tight end, and he made a great catch early in the after practice, on a 20-yard out that he had to extend to grab. The Hawaii native is a very good athlete for a 6-5, 310 pounder, and will be used as an #2 tight end at times this season.

By CLARENCE E. HILL JR. SAN ANTONIO — Projected starting cornerbacks Terence Newman and Mike Jenkins were injured on Saturday, bringing a scare to the Dallas Cowboys’ training camp less than one week before the preseason opener against the Oakland Raiders.Neither injury is considered serious — Newman suffered a strained groin and Jenkins a sprained right ankle. Both are listed as day-to-day. But considering Newman’s injury history and Jenkins’ bid to be a first-year starter, it is enough to cause some concern.'Terence Newman has a slight groin sprain that is going to keep him out precautionary-wise,' coach Wade Phillips said. 'He’s had some problems in the past, not the same injury, but we want to be very careful with that. So we are holding him out.'Newman, who has been plagued by plantar fasciitis, knee tendinitis and a torn groin the past two years, was having a great camp before the injury. He said he was looking and feeling better than any time

It was the first play of team drills and the beginning of a brilliant practice Saturday for the New York Jets rookie quarterback. 'I put it in a place where only J-Co can get it,' Sanchez said, 'and he made a great adjustment for the ball.

Philadelphia Eagles rookie tight end Cornelius Ingram has a torn ligament in his left knee and is likely out for the season. The team said an MRI taken Saturday revealed the torn ACL sustained on Tuesday. The fifth-round pick missed his senior season at Florida after tearing the ACL in the same knee almost exactly a year ago. 'He's a great kid and his leg had been doing so well,' coach Andy Reid said.

The Beloit Snappers sputtered through another bad month in July, as the team won only ten of their 28 games. Though some prospects had great months, they never really hit their stride as a team, and never went on any kind of winning streak. With the month in the rear view, the Snappers will look to make some noise in the Midwest League Western Division.

Mark Sanchez reared back and lofted a pretty pass downfield that landed in Jerricho Cotchery's hands for a touchdown. It was the first play of team drills and the beginning of a brilliant practice Saturday for the New York Jets rookie quarterback. 'I put it in a place where only J-Co can get it,' Sanchez said, 'and he made a great adjustment for the ball.' Working exclusively with the first-team offense for the first time this summer, Sanchez completed 10 of 19 passes for two touchdowns and an interception. He also further solidified his edge over Kellen Clemens in the team's quarterback competition. 'Every day needs to be a step forward when you get a chance to go with that first-team group,' said Sanchez, trying to win the spot vacated when Brett Favre retired. 'I thought it really showed that I was ready for that, and I took advantage of that time.' Meanwhile, Clemens struggled running the second-team offense, going 4 of 12 with no scores, an interception - and two other passes that
