Denver Broncos: TE Dwayne Carswell was jailed in Atlanta on $2,500 bail on suspicion of
attacking his girlfriend outside a nightclub, according to the Denver Post.
He was arrested Friday and charged with simple battery, domestic violence
and obstruction of an officer, said Sgt. Nikita Hightower, a spokeswoman for
the Fulton County Sheriff's Department. A court complaint said Carswell (6'
3", 260) picked up Nkeiruka Anyamone, 25, by the neck outside a bar early
Friday. The complaint also said the woman was bitten on the right arm and
later treated by medical personnel. Carswell has been accused of assaulting
at least two other women in the last several years.
Dallas Cowboys: The team expects second-round draft pick S Terrence Kiel to be ready for
training camp July 23, despite being shot in the abdomen and leg Friday
afternoon, apparently in an attempted carjacking. "From what we understand
he's going to be fine in a couple of weeks," GM A.J. Smith told the San
Diego Union-Tribune after speaking with Kiel and doctors in Houston. Kiel
was released from the hospital Sunday, but still has a bullet in his belly.
The Chargers plan to bring Kiel to San Diego this week for evaluation by
their medical personnel.
San Francisco 49ers: With starting CB Jason Webster still recovering from ankle surgery and
second-year CB Mike Rumph failing to turn heads at the team's minicamps,
there are definite concerns in the secondary. But the June signing of CB
Fred Weary has allayed some of those concerns. In his short time as a
Niner, Weary has impressed the coaching staff. "The first thing that sticks
out is his experience, obviously. Then, his knowledge of the game is
tremendous," Al Simmons, San Francisco's assistant secondary coach, told the
Gainesville Sun. "The guy is very intelligent, that was obvious to us as
soon as we worked him out. He knows what to do out there, and we think he
can produce for us in whatever role he eventually lands." Weary had his
best season in 2000, with 66 tackles, two sacks, two interceptions, 14
passes defensed and one forced fumble despite missing the final four games
with a torn ACL.
