Best of Monday at training camps: Breaking bikes and naming rights

Several joint practices took place across the NFL on Monday, including one in Wisconsin with Green Bay playing host to Houston. The Texans got in on the Packers’ tradition of riding children’s bikes from the locker room to the practice field. It’s all fun and games until a bike frame for a boy has to hold up to J.J. Watt‘s frame.
There’s also a new stadium name to know in Las Vegas.
Here’s what you need to know from camps across the league:

Before the Texans and Packers held a joint practice on Monday, J.J. Watt finally got to participate in the Green Bay tradition of players riding a kid’s bike to practice, something the Wisconsin native said was “a dream he had as a kid.”
And then he broke the bike.
“The bike that I was using was not equipped for a 290-pound man, and the seat broke off,” the Houston defensive end said. “We have purchased a new bike for the boy. So, I apologize for that.”

Kendrick Norton is here in green Dolphins gear and orange shoes watching practice today. It’s the first time we’ve seen him here since he had his left arm amputated in a July 4 car crash. Good to see him out here.
Cardinals left guard Justin Pugh is out with a shoulder injury suffered during Saturday’s scrimmage. He should be out a couple of weeks, coach Kliff Kingsbury said. Pugh is rehabbing the shoulder for now.
