Quick Hits – Cutler’s Tendinitis, Bond’s 756th, Scheffler’s Return, more

Sports’ most hallowed record fell to Barry Bonds with his 756th home run last night… Bonds just disgusts me, and I hope they put the biggest asterisk in history next to his name in the record books. Since that’s not even worth talking about today, I move on to some noteworthy notes today…

• Surprise! Jay Cutler has been suffering from wrist tendinitis in his throwing right wrist, and has been wearing a brace for the past week under his long sleeves. Cutler (yesterday): “It felt a lot better today. We’ve been icing it and rehabbing it quite a bit. Everything’s fine now.” Hope he means it.
• The big news from yesterday’s camp – Tony Scheffler, AKA Jay Cutler‘s best friend, returned to the field in pads for about half an hour in the morning practice. He didn’t participate in the afternoon practice, which was special teams anyway. Today he is expected to move up to a full 45 minutes of work – all good signs that Scheff might just be ready for opening day, Broncos @ Bills.
• Matt Lepsis is adjusting to his first summer after major knee surgery.
• The Browns finally signed Brady Quinn to a lucrative deal that sees the 22nd overall pick potentially earning more than Jarvis Moss, the 17th overall. Looks like the player won that battle.
• Chiefs LT Damion McIntosh injured his right knee and will miss an extended period of time. Meanwhile, the Saints are playing the Jarvis Moss game with injured LT Jammal Brown. After quite a scare for Saints fans, Brown is only suffering a bruised knee.
