The NFL has issued a total of $125,000 in fines against the New York Jets and former coach Eric Mangini for the team's failure to list quarterback Brett Favre's arm problem on injury reports last season.

NFL executive vice president of football operations Ray Anderson levied fines of $75,000 against the team; $25,000 against general manager Mike Tannenbaum; and $25,000 against Mangini, now the coach of the Cleveland Browns.

Mangini coached the Jets during Favre's one season in New York before he was fired after the team collapsed down the stretch.

Last week, Tannenbaum admitted the club should have listed Favre, who had a torn biceps tendon, as "probable" on the injury report for the last four or five games. Favre said the Jets knew of the injury, which required offseason surgery.

Former Patriots offensive lineman Ryan O'Callaghan has been awarded to the Kansas City Chiefs on waivers.

The Browns also put in a claim on O'Callaghan, but the Chiefs had priority based on having the worse record in 2008.

Former Patriots Vice President of Player Personnel Scott Pioli is in his first year as Chiefs general manager, so he has a background with O'Callaghan, a 2006 fifth-round draft choice in New England.

Multiple outlets are reporting that wide receiver Terrence Nunn and cornerback DeAngelo Willingham have been signed to the Patriots’ practice squad. Nunn was in camp with the Patriots this preseason and had eight catches for 133 yards in the preseason, while Willingham was released by the Cowboys after spending portions of training camp with Tampa Bay and Dallas. A rookie out of Tennessee, Willingham has made 80 tackles, intercepted three passes, defended eight passes and forced two fumbles in 26 games with the Volunteers.

Today, a well-known but unexpected player entered the fray. And did it ever land an important piece.

Mike Reiss, the Globe and Boston.com's prolific NFL writer, is departing to join ESPNBoston, the sports network's second city-specific site as it attempts to strengthen its national brand with a local online presence in the nation's largest and most passionate sports cities. The site will launch Sept. 14, an ESPN spokesman confirmed.

"Adding Boston to ESPN's local-sites network is a natural fit for our goal of serving sports fans," said Jim Pastor, senior vice president for ESPN business divisions. "It is one of the nation's premier sports towns and home to one of the strongest and most passionate fan bases in the world."

Denver and New England at it again. This time the Broncos acquire offensive tackle Russ Hochstein from the Patriots for late-round 2010 pick.
