New York Giants 08/02/2007 3:22 PMThe Star-Ledger reports DE Simeon Rice didn't want to say much. And maybe he didn't want to be seen. Perhaps that's why he paired his green V-neck shirt with a pair of camouflage shorts.

Baltimore Ravens 08/02/2007 3:18 PMThe Baltimore Sun reports the surprise of training camp so far has been OT Jared Gaither. A fifth-round supplemental pick out of the University of Maryland, Gaither has already supplanted Marshal Yanda as the starting left tackle.

Remember he didn't have any minicamps because he wasn't drafted until July. What stands out about Gaither is that he's big. Real big. He's listed at 6 feet 9, 350 pounds. I know Steve McNair will be happy knowing Gaither is protecting his blind side. I know I just feel safer knowing that he's at the team hotel.Read more

The unspecified injury is reportedly not career-threatening but something that the player must work through. The former OhioState player has been rehabbing the minor injury in an effort to join his teammates in camp. Word is Pitcock could report to camp in a matter of days, if not sooner.Read more
