Tannehill Holds Out; Texans add WR; Cardinals QB Battle Heats Up



Dolphins' rookie QB Ryan Tannehill's chances of becoming the starter are taking a hit. Tannehill has officially become a holdout. The Associated Press via Yahoo! Sports  reports that Tannehill has not shown up to training camp as contract talks are still "progressing." ''He's obviously not here, so we're not done yet,'' general manager Jeff Ireland told reporters after practice. ''Progress is being made. It's progressing, I should say. Communication is ongoing on both sides, from Pat and our group.'' In the meantime, last season starting QB Matt Moore has been taking first team snaps.

After a couple of disappointing seasons as head coach of the Denver Broncos, and offensive coordinator for the St. Louis Rams; Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels says he is glad to be "home" in New England.

The Houston Texans, arguably one of the teams favored to go deep into the playoffs, are adding depth at WR. According to NFL.com, the Texans agreed to terms with veteran WR Bryant Johnson. Johnson had six catches for 90 yards and a TD last season with the Texans. The Texans are going to be expecting more production from him next season if they want to be contenders for the Super Bowl.

Kent Somers of azcentral.com gives a list of the starters (for now) for the Cardinals. He reports that the QB Kevin Kolb and John Skelton are going to splitting reps as evenly as possible till head coach Ken Wisenhunt decides on his starting QB.
