Seahawks latest news and notes

Seahawks | Cliff Avril expected to be ready for camp

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said DE Cliff Avril (foot) should be ready for the start of training camp. Avril misses the organized team activities and most of the minicamp because of a plantar fascia injury.

Seahawks | James Carpenter could compete for starting job

Seattle Seahawks OG James Carpenter (knee) could compete for one of the starting guard jobs if he is healthy at the start of training camp.

Seahawks | Zach Miller sat out minicamp

Seattle Seahawks TE Zach Miller (foot) did not participate in the team's minicamp last week because of a foot injury. The injury is not believed to be serious, and he is expected to be ready for the start of training camp.

Seahawks | Expected to have competition at FB

Seattle Seahawks FB Michael Robinson is expected to compete with FB Spencer Ware during training camp for the starting fullback job.

Seahawks | John Moffitt pleads guilty

Seattle Seahawks OG John Moffitt pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct. He received a suspended sentence of 24 months in jail and was ordered to pay a $1,407 fine.

Panthers latest news and notes

Panthers | Dale Moss signs

The Carolina Panthers signed free-agent WR Dale Moss (Bears) to an undisclosed deal Wednesday, June 19.

Panthers | Moving away from zone-read option

The Carolina Panthers did not run many zone-read OTAs. The option package will be de-emphasized under new offensive coordinator Mike Shula.

Panthers | Ben Hartsock to see more targets?

Carolina Panthers TE Ben Hartsock spent most of his first nine seasons in the NFL clearing space for running backs and protecting quarterbacks, rarely getting any balls thrown his way. However, during minicamp, QB Cam Newton targeted Hartsock on a number of underneath routes and Hartsock did not have any noticeable drops.

Panthers | Robert Lester in mix for job

Carolina Panthers undrafted rookie SS Robert Lester reportedly looked good during organized team activities (OTAs) and minicamp, and he is in the mix for the starting strong safety spot opposite FS Chrles Godfrey.

Panthers | Star Lotulelei in good shape

Carolina Panthers DT Star Lotulelei showed up to offseason workouts in good shape. The team also drafted pass-rusher DT Kawann Short, so it was thought Lotulelei might come out in certain passing situations. However, Lotulelei was on the field a lot during minicamp, and head coach Ron Rivera said Lotulelei has "come a long way" as far as using his hands to shed blockers.
