Gibbs, Bijan and Olave hold-ins + Nabers back at practice, Pearsall out

**Pat Daugherty** (0:16)
Welcome to the Rotoworld Football Show, Thursday, July 30th, 2026
I'm going to be doing a little bit of a show, RotoPat, Patrick Daugherty is rejoining us today. He's back just in time for training camp to be in full swing. Big names in the news, big names not practicing, some because of injury, many because of contract drama. Bijan Robinson is at Falcons training camp, but he's holding in. Jahmyr Gibbs holding in in Detroit. Chris Olave holding in in New Orleans. I'm sensing a theme, I'm sensing a pattern. Man, they should have never banned holdouts, by the way, because holding in seems way better. It does. We'll talk about the hold-ins. We'll talk about Malik Nabers not being on the pup list. We'll talk about Ricky Pearsall being injured again. Falcons quarterback developments, 49ers backfield developments, all that and more when we come right back after this.
There's going to be a whole lot more other than that. But first, they said it could not be done. They said Denny Carter would never be allowed back into America. Against his best efforts, it doesn't really seem like he wanted to come back. Because every time we thought you're going to be back, I'm actually in Greece two more days.
The longest trip anyone has ever taken anywhere, except not either. You never even left Maryland. That's why we were so mad. You never even left. You were hiding from Braylon Allen. So many different things happened while you're gone. Can you answer for your crimes? That's really all I can say. People don't know what we're referencing, especially if you're listening and not watching. Denny shared the most obviously Photoshopped photo ever in Greece.
He put himself in a stock photo. Didn't even look like Greece, to be honest. Didn't look like Greece. I've never seen a picture of Greece look like that.

**Denny Carter** (1:59)
I Google.

**Pat Daugherty** (1:59)
Photoshopped himself in Greece, fled the country. Braylon Allen tweeted once, then he fled the country.
Answer for your crimes. How are you even showing your face back here?

**Denny Carter** (2:09)
There's a lot going on there. I'll try to guide the people through what happened. So I discovered portrait mode on my phone, and I thought it looked nice. It turns out it makes everything look fake.

**Pat Daugherty** (2:23)
You don't have to use it correctly.

**Denny Carter** (2:25)
So I took picturesque, beautiful pictures in Greece, and I posted them. One of them was of me drinking some red wine, which is amazing when it's chilled, by the way.

**Pat Daugherty** (2:39)
Let me guess, you love warm beer now too?

**Denny Carter** (2:42)
Oh, no. No, I will never get with that. But the chilled red wine, very good. Anyway, so I posted, I'm like, hey, drinking red wine in Greece. Look at me. And people were like, that's clearly fake.
That's AI, that's Photoshopped. And I rolled with it, but it really does look fake. I'm not going to deny it. I'm not going to say, I will not, just like with the border patrol, I was not, I didn't deny it. It looked fake. So I do get that. I will say the Braylon Allen thing.
I got a text, I don't even know, in the middle of the night.

**Pat Daugherty** (3:22)
Sorry, we texted you in the middle of the night so much.

**Denny Carter** (3:25)
I texted you guys at three in the morning. And then so, and I see Braylon Allen is still really mad about what I said about him.

**Pat Daugherty** (3:33)
He's still big mad.

**Denny Carter** (3:34)
He didn't forget. So that's why I extended my stay in Greece by three weeks, because I just wanted to make sure I was okay and safe from Braylon Allen.

**Pat Daugherty** (3:42)
You were safe. But let's be real, when you saw the picture that you took yourself look so fake, you knew it was the opportunity of a lifetime. You knew that we were all going to drink it up, look, line and sink.

**Denny Carter** (3:53)
I mean, someone green screened it on Blue Sky. Like they actually put it and they were like, go to town.

**Kyle Dvorchak** (3:58)
The producer in the room with you, he put a green screen behind you.

**Denny Carter** (4:03)
I haven't, to be clear, I haven't used green screen technology since the Super Bowl in 2022

**Pat Daugherty** (4:08)
Say not to throw anyone under the bus, but our fellow NBC employee, Steven DiAgostino. I forget how to pronounce. Sorry, Steven.

**Kyle Dvorchak** (4:15)
I think you got it the second time.

**Pat Daugherty** (4:17)
Definitely know how to pronounce your last name, someone I talk to every. I never had to say your last name.
