Tony Dungy says he's spoken to "quite a few" NFL coaches about Michael Vick.

Dungy, the former Indianapolis Colts coach, has been mentoring Vick, who served 18 months in federal prison for running a dogfighting ring and was released from home confinement last month.

During last night's NBC broadcast of the Hall of Fame game, Dungy said, "I've talked to quite a few coaches who want to get my thoughts on where (Vick) is."

Dungy says Vick has talked to several teams. Dungy says he believes the former Falcons quarterback will be with a team before training camp ends.

RAMS

WR AVERY OUT

Rams wide receiver Donnie Avery will reportedly miss four to six weeks after suffering a foot injury in a scrimmage last Friday.

According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the injury was first thought to be minor, but an MRI exam revealed a more extensive injury that went undisclosed by head coach Steve Spagnuolo.

Avery was picked in the second round of the 2008 draft — the first wide receiver taken that year — and posted 53 receptions for 674 yards and three touchdowns in his rookie season. With the departure of Torry Holt this past offseason, Avery was slated to take over the No. 1 wideout spot on the team.

SAINTS

DEAL FOR CB JENKINS

Rookie cornerback Malcolm Jenkins agreed to terms on a five-year contract with the New Orleans Saints.

Jenkins was the Saints' first-round draft pick, taken 14th overall. He has missed the first 10 days of training camp, including the club's scrimmage on Saturday.

Jenkins made a career-best 57 tackles during his senior season at Ohio State. He also had three interceptions, three forced fumbles and a sack.

The Saints did not release financial terms yesterday.

STEELERS

HAMPTON INJURED

Pittsburgh Steelers nose tackle Casey Hampton left practice yesterday with a knee injury, although coach Mike Tomlin said the four-time Pro Bowl player is expected to be fine.

Second-year wide receiver Limas Sweed (hamstring) also didn't finish practice. Running back Willie Parker (back spasms) sat out a second straight day as the Steelers worked on their goal-line offense for the first time since camp began July 31.

Hampton, who missed three games last season with a groin injury, is considered the key to the Steelers' league-leading rushing defense.

Sweed, a second-round pick in 2008, may be the top candidate to replace Nate Washington as Pittsburgh's No. 3 receiver. Washington signed with Tennessee.
