New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was in a two-vehicle accident near his home Thursday morning but was unhurt and hours later practiced as usual with his team just days before the season opener.

Browns NT Rogers expects to play Sunday (AP)
Veering to the middle of Cleveland's locker room, which was buzzing as players dressed for practice, nose tackle Shaun Rogers leaned most of his humongous frame on an industrial fan serving as his temporary podium. Impressive fan. Imposing man. Arguably Cleveland's best player and easily it's most dominant, Rogers, the Browns' bigger-than-big man returned to practice this week after...
Niners' Crabtree says he's ready to play (AP)
Michael Crabtree's sore neck is much better, he insists he's ready to play after missing the entire preseason and the spat last week with teammate Vernon Davis is long since done. Crabtree, the second-year San Francisco 49ers receiver, will start his first season opener Sunday at Seattle. He didn't join the team until October last year following a 71-day contract stalemate by the...
Cards RB Wells sits out practice again (AP)
That breakout season so many have predicted for Beanie Wells might be on hold for a week. The Arizona Cardinals' second-year running back sat out practice again on Thursday with a sore right knee.

Dolphins release former starting C Grove (AP)
Bill Parcells skipped practice Thursday, and instead could be seen standing by his car at the Miami Dolphins' complex, holding a golf club and practicing his swing.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers say their season opener Sunday against the Cleveland Browns will be blacked out locally.

The team did not say how many tickets remained unsold at 1 p.m.
