A law enforcement official tells FOX Boston that Aaron Hernandez "appears to be directly tied to the homicide" of "associate" Odin Lloyd in North Attleboro, Mass.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Ed Bouchette reports the Steelers signing free agent WR Steve Breaston "won't happen."
The Steelers showed interest in Breaston following his release from the Chiefs in late February, but they're no longer interested. It doesn't appear any other team is, either. Breaston battled persistent knee inflammation last season, and he even considered Regenokine knee therapy. The soon-to-be 30-year-old hasn't drawn an ounce of known interest in nearly four months.

Coach Mike Munchak said Nate Washington "has had the best camp since he's been [a Titan]."
Munchak talked up the entire receiving corps following Wednesday's final minicamp practice. "It was fun seeing Kenny [Britt] healthy and not having questions every day about his health, and seeing [Kendall Wright] lose 15 pounds and running out here like a guy who's going to break a lot of runs next year," Munchak said. "Washington has had the best camp he's had since he's been here. He's been a leader. He's been everything you could ask for." The Titans have a ton of talent -- including second-round rookie Justin Hunter -- at the position, but it's going to be up to Jake Locker to make the most of it all.

Vikings first-round DT Sharrif Floyd took reps with the first-team nickel defense in Wednesday's minicamp practice.
Floyd lined up next to NT Letroy Guion, in place of three-technique DT Kevin Williams. Floyd isn't expected to take the spot over from Williams in year one, but he's certainly viewed by the organization as the future at the position. He'll still see plenty of snaps this season as a rotational lineman.

Panthers undrafted rookie WR R.J. Webb tore his right ACL and chipped a bone in his knee last Tuesday, June 11, at minicamp.
We specify the date simply for bookkeeping purposes, but there's a very real chance we never hear Webb's name again. Webb, 26 in August, tore both ACLs in college while at Furman. He caught 31 passes for 322 yards and four touchdowns as a senior back in 2009. Webb was waived-injured on Wednesday.
