Receiver Chris Conley and cornerback De’Vante Bausby got into it after a pass route and had to separated by cornerback coach Al Harris, and the same happened with tight end Ross Travis and cornerback Marcus Peters.

I can’t tell who was saying what but someone was upset about all the pushing (I think it was Peters). They jawed back and forth for a second, got in each other’s faces and then it was over.

Could Michael Vick be Plan B if Kansas City Chiefs lose QB Alex Smith? | ESPN

Michael Vick is serving as a coaching intern at training camp. He's 37 and hasn't played since 2015, when he got into five games for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

“I was helping him out with his recovery,” Johnson explained Thursday after practice. “I was Facetiming with him (during rehab), so it’s kind of ironic he’s on the team now. He’s a nose (tackle) sort of guy, but a strong guy who can help us.

Sean McDermott says WR Rod Streater has been 'one of the highlights of camp so far' | The Buffalo News

Signed as a free agent in late May, Streater has turned heads through the first week of training camp. In what is a wide-open competition for jobs behind Watkins and rookie Zay Jones, Streater has put himself squarely in the mix.

“He's one of the highlights of camp so far,” coach Sean McDermott said. “Big, strong wide receiver. Did a nice job of digesting the system in a short amount of time.
