Darius Slay lost his footing in coverage and landed on the grass. He limped off the field Malik Hooker Jersey , trying to keep weight off his right leg.

The Detroit Lions cornerback was evaluated on the sideline and after rubbing and pointing to his right knee, he returned to practice Wednesday.

Was it scary, possibly getting injured early in training camp?

"No," Slay insisted. "It wasn't nothing at all."

After sitting out briefly, Slay eased his way back into slower-paced drills. He was later running full speed to keep up with Detroit's wide receivers such as Golden Tate and Marvin Jones.

"They're true competitors," Slay said. "I work with them every day and I enjoy working with them. We're just trying to strive to get better."

Slay and the receivers take turns making plays throughout practice. One moment, Slay's blanketing coverage is enough to prevent a completion. Another time Julius Peppers Jersey , Matthew Stafford might thread a pass past him and into the hands of a well-covered receiver.

"With Darius, you know you have to bring it every single play," Tate said. "He's very fast. He's very quick, and his knowledge of the game grows every day.

"When we go across from each other, our goal is to embarrass each other."

Slay emerged as one of the NFL's top cover cornerbacks last season and earned All-Pro honors.

The Lions did not have many dependable cornerbacks in recent decades, but that changed with at least one key player five years ago. And, they've paid him well to keep him around. Slay is in the second season of a $50 million Marvin Harrison Jersey , four-year contract.

Detroit drafted Slay 36th overall in 2013. He had a career-high eight interceptions last season, tying Tennessee Titans safety Kevin Byard for the most in the NFL.

The season seemed to validate the swagger he has played with in the league.

"It's just a natural thing," he said. "You either got it or you don't."

As they wait for Joe Thomas’ decision, the Cleveland Browns added some offensive line depth.

The team reached agreement on Tuesday with former Pittsburgh tackle Chris Hubbard on a five-year contract, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press. Hubbard, who spent the past four seasons with the Steelers, will sign with the Browns once the free agency signing period begins Wednesday Yannick Ngakoue Jersey , according to the person who spoke on condition of anonymity because teams are not permitted to finalize deals during the NFL’s ”legal tampering” period.

Terms of the deal were not immediately known.

In Cleveland, the 26-year-old Hubbard will be reunited with former Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley, who was hired by the Browns during the offseason.

Hubbard made 14 starts the past two seasons. The 6-foot-4, 295-pounder is primarily a right tackle, but he gives Cleveland flexibility up front and more options in case Thomas retires. A 10-time Pro Bowler, Thomas, who suffered a season-ending torn triceps in 2017 Josh Gordon Jersey , has not yet announced if he’ll be back next season or end his Hall of Fame career.

Hubbard was signed by the Steelers as an undrafted free agent from Alabama-Birmingham in 2013. He started four games in 2016 and 10 in 2017.

Shon Coleman, a third-round draft pick in 2016, started all 16 for Cleveland last season. If Thomas retires, it’s possible the Browns could switch Coleman to the left side or perhaps sign another free agent.

It's not looking brilliant. The summer policy of not signing anyone until five days before the Premier League season got underway, by which time their own season had very much got underway due to their involvement in the Europa League, always looked like a gamble.

Ultimately their elimination from Europe looks like a blessing because even without that distraction, they've only got one point so far and what's most concerning is their opponents haven't been enormously taxing: they've played Watford, Southampton, Fulham, Wolves and Manchester United, when the latter had lost their previous two and were probably at the most vulnerable they'll be all season.

Relegation wouldn't be a surprise.
