team activities.

The Cleveland Browns listed Brian Hoyer as their starting
quarterback on the first depth chart of the preseason.
Manziel was No. 2, but Browns coach Mike Pettine said the order
could change after every game. A starter has yet to be named for
Saturday's preseason opener against the Detroit Lions.

New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson was hospitalized Tuesday in
White Sulphur Springs, W.Va., as a precaution after receiving
oxygen.
The 87-year-old Benson has been attending practice at the Saints'
new training camp facility in the mountains of West Virginia. "The
altitude got to him. He's fine," Saints spokesman Greg Bensel said.

The six-year, $96 contract extension Bengals starting quarterback
Andy Dalton signed Monday drew attention to Alex Smith and his
contract situation with the Kansas City Chiefs.
The parties have been talking since the first of the year but have
not come to an agreement and it appears from the outside to be
closer to a stalemate.

The Denver Broncos signed defensive lineman Brian Sanford to a
contract on Tuesday.
Sanford played in 12 regular-season games, including one start, and
had 13 tackles for the Cleveland Browns in 2011-12 and the Oakland
Raiders in 2013.

Green Bay Packers offensive lineman Don Barclay had to be carted off
the practice field Tuesday with what the Green Bay Press-Gazette
later reported as a torn ACL in his right knee.
That would be a season-ending injury for Barclay, considered the
team's top reserve lineman after he started 15 games at right tackle
last season when Bryan Bulaga was sidelined because of a torn ACL.

end Israel Idonije and and tight end Jerome Cunningham.

Matt Cassel is the starting quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings, at
least if you believe the debut preseason depth chart released by head
coach Mike Zimmer on Tuesday.
The Vikings drafted Louisville quarterback Teddy Bridgewater at the
bottom of the first round in May, and his relentless charge toward the
No. 1 job could put him on course to overtake Cassel before the start of
the regular season Sept. 7.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed defensive ends Ryne Giddins and James
Ruffin, while linebacker Jeremy Grable (injury) and safety Mycal Swaim
