Latest updates from NFL training camp: Ravens' Marlon Humphrey giving Lamar Jackson fits (Detroit Lions - Lions WR Jameson Williams and DB Brian Branch returned to Saturday's practice after receiving an excused absence on Friday to attend the funeral of their former Alabama teammate Khyree Jackson, who died in a car crash on July 6th. Branch described the opportunity to lend support as being bigger than football.  During practice, things got heated between offensive tackle Dan Skipper and linebacker Derrick Barnes during a full team drill where they were involved in an aggressive skirmish on a day when the intensity ramped up with more team drills pitting the offense versus the defense. Linebacker Alex Anzalone rushed over to break up the action. Barnes has been involved in a few tussles throughout the week.  "I told everybody yesterday that this year is personal for me so I ain't with all the BS," Barnes said. "But at the end of the day it is all love, it's still my teammates and we're gonna pick each other up. That's how it is, but it's football." -- Eric Woodyard (Last update: July 27)):  https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/40191932/nfl-training-camp-live-updates-2024-news-depth-charts-injuries-roster-battles

Training Camp: What We Learned from 'Back Together Weekend' Saturday  (9. Breakout in Year 3 for Jameson?  This is a critical season for Detroit Lions wideout Jameson Williams. His first two seasons, the first of which delayed by injury, have been dotted with highlight plays, but ultimately not enough consistency.  Early in camp, however, Williams has been a standout. Him developing into more of a reliable producer could make an already dangerous Lions offense just that much more threatening. Lions head coach Dan Campbell told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero and Lions contributor Dannie Rogers that Williams has shown growth as a player and as a professional.  "Look, he's more mature," Campbell said on Saturday. "He's more mature, and, look, he banked some good reps last year."  Campbell said Williams reported to the team this spring "more refreshed" and focused, which has set up a fine early camp that has included some highlight plays.  "And he's just continued that now," Campbell said. "He's a more mature guy, he's bought in and he's putting in the work. Because of that, he's just continued to get better and better."):  https://www.nfl.com/news/training-camp-what-we-learned-from-back-together-weekend-saturday
