Calhoun hopes for chance - (06/03)

Lions RB Brian Calhoun has played only 11 games over two seasons, with 14 carries and six catches. He suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament as a rookie and struggled with it last year. Now, as the Lions go through their off-season program, with training camp in late July, he finds himself up against stiff competition -- rookie Kevin Smith, Tatum Bell, Artose Pinner and Aveion Cason. Calhoun said he began his off-season training earlier this year, the first week of February. He is taking better care of his body, stretching and warming up properly, eating better. After bulking up the past couple of years, he's back down to his old playing weight of 208 pounds, but a leaner, stronger 208 pounds. "I haven't felt this good since I came out of college a couple years ago," Calhoun said in the Detroit Free Press.

Thurman could face indefinite suspension - (06/03)

The Cincinnati Enquirer reported former Bengals LB Odell Thurman faces an indefinite NFL suspension after violating the league substance abuse policy. The story is attributed in SI.com. The Bengals waived Thurman on May 19. He had been reinstated April 21 by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell following what had amounted to a two-year suspension for breaking the substance abuse policy. Thurman is tested 10 times a month for alcohol and drugs, Lawson said. Under the league policy, a missed test is the same as a failed test. Thurman, the Bengals' second-round pick in 2005, led the team with 148 tackles as a rookie. In July 2006, though, he was suspended for four games for violating the substance abuse policy. The suspension was extended to a full season following his DUI arrest Sept. 25.

McAllister works at Saints' OTA - (06/02)

The Biloxi Sun-Herald reports that Saints veteran RB Deuce McAllister took part in one of the club's recent offseason workouts, testing his surgically repaired knees. Saints coach Sean Payton estimated that he "probably went 30 percent, 20 percent. ... The one common denominator is that you are still in helmets and jerseys, really. You've just got to be mindful of that. I would probably liken his reps to where he was two years ago at this time coming off the other ACL. It's getting his weight down and getting in shape and bringing him along so where there's no setback."
