Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Backup MLB Nate Webster is now taking reps on the outside in an effort to get more playing time. "Here's a guy who is an outstanding player,'' Gruden said. "He just happens to be standing next to [Shelton] Quarles right now and it's very difficult to dislodge Shelton because of the way he plays.'' According to linebackers coach Joe Barry this move doesn't reflect poorly on OLB Dwayne Rudd. "There's nothing wrong with shaking things up a little bit,'' Barry told the Tampa Tribune. "Nate Webster's a hell of a football player. Any way that we can find or create new ways to get him on the field, it's going to help our defense."

Jacksonville Jaguars: Monday brought a familiar sight to Jags' camp. Yet another player collapsed at practice and hat to be attended to. OL Daryl Terrell dropped out of yesterday morning's practice and had to be iced down and given fluids for more than 30 minutes. However, coach Jack Del Rio said Terrell was suffering from a stomach virus and insisted his condition was unrelated to the heat. "He was struggling through the night," Del Rio told the Florida Times-Union. "It wasn't heat-related. It was [virus]-related. It was a matter of his stomach being upset."

New York Jets: Though he only has one assisted tackle on his professional football resume, coach Herman Edwards says that first-round pick DT Dewayne Robertson is playing well. "Sometimes he flashes and you don't see the little things he's doing to allow some other guys to make some plays," Edwards told the New York Post. "With linemen you see flash when they make a sack or tackle a guy behind the line of scrimmage. [Robertson] is causing some havoc where other guys are making plays because of it. He's a work in progress."
