Here's some non-Favre related fantasy news

While the Brett Favre will-he-or-won't-he retirement saga plays out at Vikings training camp in Mankato, here are some other fantasy football tidbits that might be of interest.

On the injury front, New Orleans Saints running back Pierre Thomas injured his shoulder while getting tackled during a red zone drill Tuesday and left the field. The extent of the injury is unknown.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall is dealing with a toe problem and is considered day-to-day. Cleveland rookie running back Montario Hardesty, who has been a popular late-round pick in many fantasy mock drafts, also has a knee injury and his status is unknown.

Philadelphia receiver Jeremy Maclin hyper-extended his knee on Tuesday and is expected to miss a few days of practice. Derrick Mason was also sidelined from practice early with an ankle problem but says the injury is not serious and he'll be back soon.

On the good news side, New Orleans wide receiver  Marques Colston came off the PUP list and was back at practice Tuesday. Teammate Jeremy Shockey (knee), a tight end, is almost ready to resume full contact.

Three players who have been getting good reviews from their respective coaching staffs in training camp are San Diego receiver Malcom Floyd, Washington running back Clinton Portis and Kansas City quarterback Matt Cassell.
