See videos of their pressers here.

DP - D.J. Williams is hoping to finally be cleared for team activities today, after a long offseason of rehab. Plus, Brandon Marshall has finally started running again.

CBS4 - Marshall spoke with Reggie Rivers this weekend; he's hopeful that no suspension will be coming his way.

BM15 - BMarsh updated his blog the other day; seems he feels his hip injury wasn't quite handled that well last year by the team. Interesting...

SI - Although I'm proud that a fellow New Yorker has been nominated to the Supreme Court, I'm disappointed to learn Sonia Sotomayor helped put Maurice Clarett in our collective laps (and that she's a Yanks fan). Peter King has details in his Tuesday column, plus some emails.

NYT - Speaking of Clarett, here's an interesting entry on him from the Times.

TR - Titans WR Kenny Britt is still working with Rod Smith.

KCS - The Chefs have announced their training camp schedule.
