welcome back everybody. brett haver is here in baltimore. the preseason games, they are no big deals for the veterans. but we have seen some rookies, they are walking along the stadium tonight with some eyes wide open. they are not in kansas anymore. >> if they thought that the pace of practice was another level, this will be a whole other stratosphere for the whole glimpse of that action. >> they will be getting more attention than most tonight, the first round pick out there, the former texas star, making their debut tonight, the 13th overall pick. but they are changing subjects for them and the defensive end. now, he's a linebacker. out there, eager to prove. they can do it at this level and that starts tonight. and mr. and we'll be, well, watching them and the nfl in my life. i'm actually going to suit up in a real live game for them in

the preseason. i'm very excited who is going to be productive. and treated like practice out there just lining there. >> they probably expected it to start as the outside linebacker, the only rookie to start out there. >> perhaps the most intriguing position for them and the battle that is not even for a starting job. but the number two quarterbacks, that will be one of the most heartily contest battle of this preseason. and that is the team's number two. but they say that there were plenty of runs for them in the season and they have not expected them to challenge the 37-year-old collins for the backup gig. of course, they chased them out there to prove to stick on this roster as well. but forget that controversy. is the guy in line behind him that should be interested to watch. >> i don't see a clear line. i mean, i see chase daniels, really improving. >> they are in the last three or four practices out there are and they have really come on as well. >> the competition battle as far as

the quarterbacks is the same for the starters. they all began to chase that for every man for themselves and no animosity. >> on the ravens side. two notable wide receivers, potentially fit them. and they already ruled out with the injured left hamstring. the other receivers, derek mason, they have an injury out there. and they came up warmed out. and they will be a game time decision. meanwhile, in case you have not heard, taking the executive approach tonight. among those who will not play this evening, deferring the symptoms, nagging injuries, and in the case of the supporters as you all know, they hate playing games and they don't count so they won't. >> meanwhile, other nfl news tonight, if you were among those defended, the receiver, they received just 30 days of jail time after killing a pedestrian with his vehicle. apparently the commissioner of the nfl, they afree with you.

giving him a one-shot lead over patrick harrington. >> i feel very comfortable playing today. hitting the ball all day and good puts even though that i did not make a lot of puts. but it felt like, this could have been a low number today. and seven years from now, tiger, they could be playing golf in the olympics. the executive boards today, they are recommending to add golf along with them to the olympics roster for 2016. they will vote on the matter in object. so that is it from here.

the redskins and the ravens, they are about to get it on. getting a quick look the at jason campbell and only a quick one, so don't blink. or you might miss it. >> they are live in baltimore. the full post game coverage afterwards including, well, live interviews, and the press conference out there on nine news at 11. all right, see you then, brett and sarah. >> hard to get the end of football now, worth being in the 90s. but well, you know? >> i know, it's like the first day of school, you know? you can see that out there. >> and here is the seven-day forecast. we're looking at sunshine tomorrow, 87. a slight chance of an isolate thunderstorms. we won't quite make it 90. but then we're right around 90 on sunday, monday, tuesday, wednesday. some thunderstorms are possible out there next week. >> all right, thank you. that's it for us at nine news now at six. the cbs evening news is next. we'll see you at 7. and t n'do forget, wusa9.com, and that is always on. have a great night.
