First ill go with miami news

Cleo Lemon opened Dolphins minicamp with the first-team offense.
So he's ahead of Gibran Hamdan on the depth chart. Miami is thought to be working on a long-term contract with Lemon, but there's no guarantee he'll be doing anything more than competing to start in training camp.

Daunte Culpepper admitted Friday that the second knee surgery he had in November was more serious than then-coach Nick Saban let on.
Culpepper says the purpose of the procedure was to remove cartilage from his knee and will require a four-to-six month recovery period. Saban had originally deemed the second surgery "not a serious thing."

Now some sad news as i really like Al Wilson

The Broncos will reportedly release MLB Al Wilson on Friday.
The Denver Post reports Wilson has a "strong chance" to miss the 2007 season due to neck and back injuries. Wilson, 29, also could retire. His release will save the Broncos $1.63 million under the salary cap.

There is talk he may have to sit out 2007 because of back and neck injuries, per the Denver Post (http://www.denverpost.com/sports/ci_5660275).


There is a strong chance Wilson, 29, may not play in 2007 and that he could decide to end his career.

The five-time Pro Bowl selection suffered a neck injury Dec. 3 against Seattle. He was taken off the field on a stretcher and spent a short time at a local hospital before being released. Wilson then came back to finish the season.

However, on March 23, he failed a physical with the New York Giants, who nixed a proposed trade from Denver. Wilson subsequently saw a specialist in Los Angeles who confirmed the injury.

It's kinda scary that he played the remainder of the season not knowing the severity of the injury to his neck. that could have ended badly.

anybody know when our minicamps are?
