ESPN NFL Training Camp 2007

New England Patriots: Randy Moss left practice Wednesday with an apparent upper leg injury.

During an 11-on-11 passing drill about halfway through the team's afternoon session, the only practice of the day, Moss reached into the end zone for a ball thrown by Tom Brady. The pass was incomplete and Moss immediately went to the sideline.

A trainer applied an ice pack and wrap to the wide receiver's upper left leg, and Moss didn't return to practice. The ice pack and wrapping were taken off before the team left the field, and Moss walked off under his own power.

Patriots coach Bill Belichick had a brief discussion with head trainer Jim Whelan and left the field without talking to reporters. No announcement was made about Moss' condition.

Moss hasn't had any apparent physical problems and has played well during training camp, which began last Friday. The Patriots obtained him from Oakland in a draft day trade in April.

Before leaving the field, Moss caught several passes from Brady, including a spectacular one-handed grab that went for a long gain.

Elsewhere in AFC camps:

Tennessee Titans: Hopefully for the Titans, Vince Young learned a very important lesson in training camp. Never -- ever -- throw a punch again with his throwing hand. Luckily for the 2006 offensive rookie of the year and the Titans, the punch thrown at safety Donnie Nickey glanced off his helmeted head.

Nickey, who primarily plays special teams and played at Ohio State, had knocked down receiver Joel Filani earlier when the rookie ran the wrong route, a post when the defense was defending against the post. Trainers helped Filani to the side, and then Nickey broke up the pass by taking receiver Courtney Roby to the ground on the very next play by putting his right arm around Roby's neck in a chokehold move.

Young, who had thrown the pass, erupted. He yelled at Nickey and asked him what he was doing, telling him to quit that stuff. Young ran over as Roby stayed on the ground. Nickey put his right hand on Young's chest before the quarterback shoved back and took a swing at the safety.

Tight end Bo Scaife came in and helped push Nickey away from the fray, and 13-year veteran center Kevin Mawae got in front of Young, pushing him clear. Young took several minutes to cool off and continued yelling back.

Coach Jeff Fisher pulled his team together at midfield and reminded them to cool it. After practice ended, Nickey met with Roby and shared a half hug, and Young hugged Nickey. Young said the incident was over, families fight and they all got it off their chest. Asked about throwing a punch with his throwing hand, Young said, "That's bad. That's bad. That's real bad."

Nickey, a three-year veteran, said he understands that would have been a great play on Sunday in a game but that he shouldn't have done that to his own teammate. He apologized to Roby and realized it wasn't a clean hit. However, he did have some advice for Young in the future if he does decide to start swinging again.

"At least not with your right hand, man. Jab with the left and wait for the cavalry," Nickey said.

Kansas City Chiefs: A fan who yelled encouragement at a Chiefs player for fighting got an earful from coach Herm Edwards.

The Chiefs were nearing the end of a rough and physical morning practice Wednesday that had already caused tempers to boil when Will Svitek, a backup offensive tackle known to have a short fuse, briefly scuffled with another player. As Svitek backed away, a man sitting with a couple hundred other spectators on risers at the edge of the field hollered, "Way to go, Will."

Edwards, with an annoyed look, immediately turned his head toward the crowd and hollered back.

"Way to go? That's no way to go," he said in a voice that could be heard across the field. "He just got kicked out of the game! Do you think that's the way to go?"

Afterward, Edwards said he was trying to send a message to his team, not the fan.

"I don't want players to think that all of a sudden it's good to fight, 'cause it's never good to fight," he said. "Bad things always happen."

Cleveland Browns Defensive end Orpheus Roye, who signed a three-year contract extension with the Browns in March 2006, will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his right knee, an early training camp setback for Cleveland, which could be without its best lineman to start the season.

Roye, who missed the final five games last season with a knee injury, had been bothered by a "clicking" sound during the first days of camp, coach Romeo Crennel said Wednesday.

"They are going to clean the joint out," said Crennel, adding Roye has torn cartilage in his knee.

The 34-year-old Roye will have surgery on Thursday. The procedure will be on the same knee Roye had operated on during the offseason. Crennel said doctors will not know until after the operation how long it will take for Roye to get back on the field.

Although bothered by bad knees the past few seasons, Roye, who has been with the Browns since 2000, has been one of the team's most dependable and durable players. Roye's experience is vital in Cleveland's 3-4 defensive scheme, which puts a premium on its ends to rush the quarterback and contain the perimeter. Cleveland's defense was ranked 29th against the run last season.

Buffalo Bills: Receiver Roscoe Parrish was treated after experiencing symptoms of dehydration while the Bills practiced in 90-plus degree temperatures Wednesday.

Coach Dick Jauron said Parrish was expected to be OK after he was sent as a precaution to a cooling tent located just off the team's practice field.

"I wouldn't say he did overheat, but we didn't want him to, and it was clearly gaining on him," Jauron said. He added the team took extra precautions because of Parrish's slim, 5-foot-9, 172-pound build, which hardly includes any body fat.

"Athletes like that, we've got to watch carefully," Jauron said. "So when he looked like he was starting to get to a point where he might have trouble, we decided to get him out and cool him down."

Parrish made his way to the tent on his own about 75 minutes into practice. Under the supervision of Bills trainers, Parrish spent about a half-hour soaking in a pool before being led to the locker room.
