Former Browns RB Nyheim Hines gets fresh start with Chargers
During the summer of 2023, Hines tore his ACL in a jet ski accident while a member of the Buffalo Bills. He missed the entirety of that season. He then signed with the Browns last offseason, but never made it off the Physically Unable to Perform list, sidelining him for his second consecutive season.
He has been documenting his return to the football field, and now has officially gotten another chance at football. After completing a workout with the Los Angeles Chargers, Hines has inked a deal to head to the West Coast for training camp. He will have a chance to impress Jim Harbaugh and company and fight for a roster spot on their 53-man roster.
Hines will never show up in the box score as a member of the Browns, but his journey back to football is an admirable one. He's got a fan in his corner here.

Eugenio Suárez says X-rays were negative after he was hit on index finger by pitch against Tigers
DETROIT (AP) — Arizona Diamondbacks All-Star third baseman Eugenio Suárez hopes he avoided major injury when he was hit in the right index finger by a pitch late in Monday night's 5-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers. Suárez, who is a candidate to be traded to a contender, was hit by a 95.6 mph sinker from Will Vest in the ninth inning. He immediately doubled over in pain and quickly left the field. 'The good news is that the X-rays were negative, but it still obviously hurt,' said Suárez, who was not bending the finger. 'There are more tests scheduled for (Tuesday) and we will go from there. I'll come back as quickly as I can.' The 34-year-old is hitting .247 with 36 homers and 87 RBIs in 104 games this season — the seventh time he has hit at least 30 homers in the last eight full seasons. 'He's very tough and he never even winces,' Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said. 'When he reacts like that, you know it isn't good.' Lovullo said he didn't blame Vest. 'I don't think there was any intent there,' Lovullo said. 'He's one of the most impressive hitters in MLB and you don't want to take those type of players off the field.' The Diamondbacks are 51-56 and have already signaled they will be sellers at the deadline. One of the teams believed to be interested in Suárez is the Tigers. The Venezuelan was signed by Detroit at age 17 and made his debut for the club in 2014 before being traded to Cincinnati after that season. ___ AP MLB:

Denver Broncos extend contract of veteran wide receiver Courtland Sutton
A big deal is finally done for the Denver Broncos. Wide receiver Courtland Sutton and the team have agreed to a four-year extension that's going to keep him under contract until 2029. The deal is worth $92 million and $41 million of that is guaranteed. The deal is a winner for both sides. It gives Sutton, who turns 30 this season, a raise that equates to about $10 million a year. And it's not breaking the bank for Denver. With what will be an average of $23 million a year for Sutton, it makes him the 18th highest paid receiver in the NFL. Sutton has had his best two seasons of his eight-year pro career under coach Sean Payton, who arrived in Denver in 2023. Sutton caught a career-best 81 passes for 1,081 yards and eight touchdowns last season, his first 1,000-yard campaign since 2019. He had a career-high 10 TD catches the year before. The veteran wideout will earn an average of $23 million in his new deal, much more in line with upper-echelon wide receivers across the NFL. His last deal included a $14 million salary for its final year in 2025. Sutton has been a limited participant in training camp as his agency and the Broncos negotiated the new contract. After the team's first full-padded practice Monday, Payton said, "Well, he's gotten reps. He's gotten limited reps. And I think we're ... real close on the contract." Then in the evening on Monday the team made the contract extension official. Payton expressed no concern that Sutton hasn't had his full complement of snaps so far with second-year quarterback Bo Nix. "Not with a veteran like Courtland," Payton said. "He's real smart. Here's the deal, he's been participating in all the individual, all the 1-on-1, he's gotten 7-on-7 work, he's gotten team reps. He's just being smart. It would be different if you felt like he was missing improvement or not being out here or just being out here riding the bike or something. I kind of know that player well enough to feel real good about where he's at and his mindset, both mentally and physically." Other veterans who are angling for new deals this summer include defensive lineman Zach Allen and rising star linebacker Nik Bonitto.

Colts, LT Bernhard Raimann agree to 4-year, $100 million extension: Source
The Indianapolis Colts and left tackle Bernhard Raimann have agreed to a four-year, $100 million contract extension, a league source confirmed to The Athletic on Monday night. The deal includes $60 million guaranteed. Raimann, a 2022 third-round pick, receives a massive raise four days after he joined 107.5 The Fan's 'Query & Company' and said the Colts and his agent, Chase Callahan of Excel Sports Management, weren't 'on the same page' financially regarding a potential extension. Advertisement 'From my understanding, it's that the numbers don't always quite add up yet,' Raimann said. 'They might value the position differently than my team thinks it is, but we're working on things.' They were able to smooth things over pretty quickly. Raimann is entering the final year of his four-year, $5.3 million rookie deal. When his new contract kicks in next season, his annual salary of $25 million will be the sixth highest among all NFL offensive tackles, per Spotrac. This story will be updated.
