Bolts' Verrett tears Achilles in conditioning test

COSTA MESA, Calif. — Los Angeles Chargers cornerback Jason Verrett was diagnosed with a torn Achilles tendon on Friday.

Verrett was injured while running during a conditioning test Friday morning. The team said Verrett will undergo more testing on his Achilles on Saturday, but it is expected that he will miss the season.

  • Verrett is possible out again. That being said, the Chargers have built depth and talent to help mitigate the loss. But they can’t afford more injuries

The 27-year-old Verrett has dealt with the frustration of a left ACL injury suffered during a Week 3 contest in 2016 that never fully healed, requiring a second procedure in September of last year.

However, Verrett had worked without a brace this offseason and was fully cleared for the first time in nearly two years, with the hope of returning to Pro Bowl form in 2018.

Including the 2018 season, Verrett will have missed 55 of a possible 80 games in five seasons with the Chargers. He was a first-round pick out of TCU in 2014 and played in the Pro Bowl after the 2015 season.

Third-year pro Trevor Williams played well in place of Verrett last season and likely will be tasked with doing the same thing in 2018.

Verrett is in the final year of his rookie contract after the Chargers picked up his fifth-year option. He is scheduled to make $8.526 million in 2018.

Gronk says he didn't consider holding out

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski said in June that he hoped to land an upgraded contract, but he relayed Thursday that he never considered holding out from training camp to get it.

“No, it hasn’t even came close to considering that. Not even one bit,” he said after the team’s first practice of camp. “What I can do, though, is keep preparing, keep showing up every day, keep doing what I’ve got to do to get better.”

Around the NFL, Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald, Seattle Seahawks safety Earl Thomas and Oakland Raiders defensive end Khalil Mack are notable holdouts, while Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell hasn’t reported to camp after receiving the franchise tag.

Gronkowski has two years remaining on his contract and is scheduled to earn a base salary of $8 million in 2018. Last year, the team sweetened the 2017 portion of his contract with incentives, and Gronkowski previously said he was hoping for something similar this year.

But he even backed off that following Thursday’s practice.

“I’m just focused on getting better and it’s just internal with stuff like that,” he said.

Asked if he is happy in New England, Gronkowski said, “Yeah.”

Jets CB Robinson suspended four games by NFL

New York Jets cornerback Rashard Robinson, who was arrested last December and charged with marijuana possession, was suspended four games by the NFL for violating its substance-abuse policy, the team announced Wednesday.

Robinson, hardly a lock to make the 53-man roster, is eligible to return Oct. 1, the day after the Jets play the Jacksonville Jaguars in their fourth game. He’s allowed to practice and play in preseason games.

The Jets acquired Robinson last year from the San Francisco 49ers at the trading deadline, dealing a 2018 fifth-round pick. He played in only six games for the Jets, a total of 20 defensive snaps. He was inactive for the final two games.

In December, Robinson was arrested in New Jersey after police allegedly discovered marijuana-laced candy in his car. The case still is pending.

Robinson, 23, has a history of off-the-field issues, dating to his college days at LSU. In 2015, he was arrested and thrown out of school after breaking into a teammate’s apartment.

He sat out the 2015 season, but wound up becoming a fourth-round pick of the 49ers in 2016. He played 22 games, including 13 starts, but he fell out of favor with their new regime.

The Jets are waiting for word on wide receiver Robby Anderson, whose case still is under review by the league under its personal-conduct policy, a league spokesman told ESPN on Wednesday. He was arrested twice in a nine-month span. All charges were dropped, except for one; he pleaded no contest last month to reckless driving, a misdemeanor in Florida.

Wide receiver ArDarius Stewart is facing a two-game suspension for violating the policy on performance enhancing drugs. The league has yet to announce it; it was reported last week by the NFL Network.
