Chiefs coach Todd Haley has called the battle for starting spots along the 3-4 defensive line an “open competition,” fueling the idea that one of the team’s recent top five picks at defensive end — Glenn Dorsey or Tyson Jackson — could be sent to the bench.

With no Joey Porter, and no Jason Taylor, the Dolphins are in the process of filling both spots at outside linebacker heading into training camp.

One of the noteworthy offseason position battles got started Tuesday in Buffalo, where Trent Edwards, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Brian Brohm and Levi Brown took part in the first day of the Bills’ QB competition.

For the time being, Terrell Owens’ toe is the center of attention in Bills training camp. Owens sat out both practice sessions Wednesday, which included a morning walkthrough, because of his sprained toe.

It’s no surprise that as Bills training camp officially opened in Rochester, N.Y., the spotlight was squarely on the highest-profile newcomer, Terrell Owens.
