Sims goes to the 49ers

Free-agent offensive tackle Barry Sims has decided to sign with the San Francisco 49ers. A nine-year starter for the Oakland Raiders, Sims had worked out recently for the Ravens, St. Louis Rams and New England Patriots. Sims chose the 49ers...

The Ravens released their training camp schedule with two practices -- one at 8:45 a.m. and the other at 3:30 p.m. -- on Tuesday, July 22 to open the almost four-week camp. Rookies, quarterbacks and injured veterans will report to...
