NFL-National Football League roundup

Aug 1 (The Sports Xchange) - Denver Broncos wide receiver Kyle Williams suffered a season-ending Achilles injury at training camp practice Saturday. Williams, 27, was carted off the practice field after going down awkwardly in punt-return drills. Broncos head coach Gary Kubiak confirmed that Williams suffered a serious injury. "It's his Achilles," Kubiak said after practice. "He wasn't even touched; just feel bad for him." "Unfortunately, today I suffered an injury to my Achilles and will consequently be missing this season," Williams wrote on Instagram. - - - New York Jets rookie receiver Devin Smith, who was hospitalized Friday with broken ribs, also sustained a partially punctured lung. Smith will miss the majority of camp, but the team said the lung injury will not add additional time to his recovery. The Jets open the regular season on Sept. 13 against the Cleveland Browns. Smith, the Jets' second-round pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, hit the ground hard after making a leaping catch of a deflected sideline pass over cornerback Marcus Williams. The speedy receiver got hit in the back of the head by safety Jaiquawn Jarrett. - - - Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam said he will not "blow things up" if the team has a losing record this season. Haslam, addressing the media at training camp in Berea, Ohio, said win-loss record will not affect the future of coach Mike Pettine and general manager Ray Farmer. "We're not going to blow things up. OK?" Haslam said. "I think we're on the right track, so we're not going to blow things up. I understand why people might ask that after a couple of bumps in the road the first couple of years, but we're not going to do that. I think we're putting in place a good foundation. The first year we were here the draft was not what we wanted. "I think the second year was better, and a lot depends on how the two first-rounders do, right? If they turn out to be really good players, we had a tremendous draft last year." Cleveland went 7-9 last season in Pettine's first year as head coach and Farmer's first year as general manager. - - - Eli Manning is not concerned about keeping up with fellow quarterbacks Russell Wilson or Aaron Rodgers, except on the field. Manning is due to receive $17 million this season from the New York Giants, with Wilson getting $21.9 million per year in a new deal he signed this week with the Seattle Seahawks, and the Green Bay Packers will pay Rodgers $22 million. "No, I'm not into the comparison about how much money you're making," Manning told the New York Post on Friday "That's not my concern. Right now, my concern is getting on this practice field for our first practice. I'm excited about that and just let the business side of it just work itself out." Manning wants to get the Giants' offense back in gear after they finished with a disappointing 6-10 record last season. - - - The New York Jets promoted Jacqueline Davidson to director of football administration. Davidson replaces Rod Graves, who recently left the Jets' front office to take a position in the league office as senior vice president of football administration and club services. The appointment makes Davidson one of the highest-ranking women to work in an NFL front office. - - - Longtime NFL offensive assistant Al Saunders, who had an unsuccessful two-plus-year stint (17-22) as head coach of the San Diego Chargers from 1986-88, is spending training camp with the Cincinnati Bengals as a senior offensive assistant. - - - The New England Patriots released defensive backs Derek Cox and Justin Green, and linebacker DJ Lynch. - - - The Washington Redskins signed free agent cornerback Deshazor Everett, a rookie from Texas A&M. - - - The Miami Dolphins activated tight end Gerell Robinson from the active/non-football injury list. He played in two games for the Dolphins last season, but had no receptions. (Editing by Gene Cherry)
