Patriots cornerback Alfonzo Dennard is due in court on July 31 for a hearing to determine whether he violated probation by getting arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence.

The Omaha World-Herald reports that Dennard needs to be in court in Nebraska for the hearing, which will take place while the Patriots are in training camp.

Dennard was placed on probation in April after he was convicted of assaulting a police officer last year. Dennard was also given a 30-day jail sentence, but the judge allowed him to wait until after this season to serve that sentence. It’s possible that the judge could rule that the DUI arrest constitutes a probation violation and could order him to jail immediately.

Just days after his arrest for the incident with the police officer, the Patriots selected Dennard in the seventh round of the 2012 NFL draft. He played well as a rookie and is expected to be a starter for the Patriots this season — if he’s still www.buccaneersofficialnflshop.com/Authentic-Adrian-Clayborn-Jersey on the roster and not in jail or www.buccaneersofficialnflshop.com/Authentic-Mike-Williams-Jersey suspended.

Eagles coach Chip Kelly will take his time in choosing a starting quarterback, and he thinks he would be doing his team a disservice if he rushed the decision.

Kelly said the choice among Michael Vick, Nick Foles and Matt Barkley can come only after he has had plenty of time to assess the players in training camp.

“We’re going to have to name a starter at some point in time,” Kelly said, via Philly.com. “That’s Vernon Davis Authentic Jersey why I think it would be unfair right now, because there hasn’t been enough situations to Colin Kaepernick Authentic Jersey evaluate. If someone said, ‘Hey, we have to play a game tomorrow,’ we have to make a decision. But we don’t have to play a game tomorrow. We have until September 9, so Justin Smith Authentic Jersey we’ll see how it works itself out.”

Kelly thinks that when it’s all said and done, one quarterback will separate himself as the best.

“I’ve never been in a situation where we’ve had to make a decision and it’s like 50-50, pick it out of a hat,” Kelly said. “Somebody over the course of time has stepped up and has won the battle. That’s what you’re hoping to have happen again here, and hopefully it’s evident to everybody, like, ‘There’s no question that it’s this guy because his game stepped up.’”

All three quarterbacks will get a full training camp to step up

As expected, the Cowboys have signed tackle Demetress Bell. As not expected, the Cowboys placed Bell on the team’s active/non-football injury list.

Bell, who spent 2012 with the Eagles, entered the league as a seventh-round pick of the Bills in Kendall Hunter Jersey 2008. He is the son of NBA Hall of Famer Karl Malone.

Joining Bell on the Cowboys’ active NFI list are center/guard Ryan Cook, long snapper Louis-Philippe Ladouceur, guard Ronald Leary, guard Nate Livings, and receiver Lavasier Tuinei, who like Bell was signed on Sunday and promptly placed on NFI.

During training camp and the preseason, a player on the non-football injury list can be shifted LaMichael James Womens Jersey at any time to the active roster. Until then, he Eric Reid 49ers Jersey doesn’t count against the 90-man limit.

The Texans have placed running back Arian Foster (calf), safety Ed Reed (hip) and wide receiver DeVier Posey (Achilles) on the active / physically unable to perform list, the Joe Montana Jersey club said Thursday night.

Head coach Gary Kubiak said Foster, the club’s skilled, versatile featured back, would be on PUP for “a couple of days,” John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reported Thursday.

Reed, whom the Texans signed in free agency from Baltimore, had hip surgery in April.

Posey, a second-year pro from Ohio State, suffered his injury in the Texans’ divisional-round loss at New England in January.

While Reed, Foster and Posey were added to the active-PUP list, the Texans removed rookie outside linebacker Sam Montgomery from the list after he passed his physical.

Houston also announced a pair of veteran free-agent signings, adding cornerback Elbert Mack and defensive tackle Daniel Muir. Mack, 27, notched 14 tackles and returned an interception for a touchdown in seven Joe Staley Womens Jersey games (two starts) for the Saints in 2012. The 29-year-old Muir saw action in three games with the Jets, recording three tackles.

Finally, the Texans placed tight end Garrett Graham on the active / non-football illness list and linebacker Darryl Sharpton on the active Phil Dawson Womens Jersey / non-football injury list.

Eagles coach Chip Kelly has said the Vick-and-Nick show will continue at quarterback until one of them emerges as the starter. Through three days of camp, neither is showing signs of doing so.

Via John Gonzalez of CSNPhilly.com, Mike Vick and Nick Foles split first-team reps for the third day of training camp, with Vick unofficially completing nine of 14 throws and Foles nine of 16. Gonzalez writes that neither man “did much to impress.”

In fact, the best throw of the day came from rookie Matt Barkley, who has (to date) been relegated to third string. Barkley completed nine of 11 passes in 15 snaps, including a long throw and catch to Greg Salas that drew a roar from the crowd.

The longer it takes for Vick to emerge, the better the chance Foles will have to take the starting job. The longer it takes for Foles to emerge, the better the chance Barkley will barge his www.49ersfootballprostore.com/Authentic-Joe-Staley-Jersey way in to the conversation.

Speaking of conversations, Gonzalez writes that Vick had a private one with former teammate Donovan McNabb on Sunday. McNabb www.49ersfootballprostore.com/Authentic-Phil-Dawson-Jersey later said they “discussed the day’s events.” For all anyone knows, they also discussed the possibility that, before too long, there will be a day when the big event includes Vick being benched.

Followed perhaps by Vick no longer being with the team.
