Ravens, Bennett agree to 1-year deal

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Wide receiver Drew Bennett has agreed to a one-year contract with the Baltimore Ravens, who are looking for help at the position in the wake of the retirement of Derrick Mason.

Bennett worked out with the Ravens on Friday and passed a physical before accepting the offer.

The 6-foot-5 Bennett played one game with St. Louis last year because of a foot injury. Over an eight-year career he has 307 catches for 4,412 yards.

Bennett’s most productive season was in 2004, when he had 80 catches for 1,247 yards and 11 touchdowns with Tennessee.

Camilo Villegas, Tim Herron, Martin Laird and Nathan Green were a stroke back.

The 42-year-old Kelly, the New Orleans winner in April, had seven birdies in a nine-hole stretch in the first round. In the second, he had five birdies and a bogey before play was suspended for the day at 7:29 p.m. because of lightning.



Lions trade Curry for Rams’ Harris

ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — The Detroit Lions have traded wide receiver Ronald Curry to the St. Louis Rams for defensive tackle Orien Harris.

The deal Friday marks the second time each player has changed teams in recent months.

Curry was signed by Detroit as a free agent in April after he was released by Oakland, where he spent his first seven NFL seasons. Harris was traded to St. Louis by Cincinnati on May 6 after appearing in 14 games for the Bengals last season, his third in the NFL.

Curry has 193 career catches and 13 touchdowns, and could start immediately for the Rams.

The 6-foot-3, 300-pound Harris has 14 career tackles since being drafted in the fourth round by Pittsburgh in 2006. He has also spent time with Cleveland, Buffalo and New Orleans.
