RAVENS: Baltimore cornerback Dale Carter will miss the season because a blood clot in his lung.
"It's quite serious, very serious to the degree that it was life-threatening," coach Brian Billick said. "He is on blood thinners and will be for six months. That will preclude him from playing this year."
Four-time Pro Bowler Carter player expected to be Baltimore's nickel back this season. He joined the Ravens as a free agent, following an 11-year career with stints in Kansas City (1992-98), Denver (1999-2000), Minnesota (2001) and New Orleans (2002-03).
Carter said his illness was discovered after an at-home workout in Houston last month. Pain in his side became so bad he couldn't breathe, so he went to an emergency room.
"The doctors told me I was the luckiest person in the world right now," Carter said. "I didn't think it was that serious. I thank God I'm here today."
Gardner, a third-round selection, is a former walk-on at Penn State. Waddell was picked in the fourth round out of North Carolina. The Titans have signed nine of their 13 draft picks.
PACKERS: Punter B.J. Sander and offensive lineman Scott Wells came to terms with Green Bay.
Wells, a four-year starter at Tennessee, agreed to a three-year deal. The seventh-round draft pick fits the Packers' need for a center-guard combination backup.
Sander, a left-footed punter from Ohio State, was taken in the third round. Terms of his contract were not immediately revealed.
VIKINGS: Minnesota signed defensive end Darrion Scott and offensive tackle Nat Dorsey.
Scott, taken in the third round out of Ohio State, played inside and outside for the Buckeyes and should provide some valuable versatility. The Vikings are high on Dorsey, a 6-foot-7, 322-pound standout left tackle for Georgia Tech selected in the fourth round.
