Thanks to jkk808 for pointing out these tweets from Sun-Sentinel reporter Omar Kelly, who covers the Dolphins. Kelly writes that Ikaika Alama-Francis has been practicing at linebacker.
Ikaika Alama-Francis is being worked as a SLB, not a DE. He was paired on the second team with Charlie Anderson.
And Kelly was impressed with what he saw:

Colt Brennan has been doing well at the start of Redskins training camp.
4:51 Terrence Austin does something that a rookie seventh-round draft pick can’t do. He drops a Colt Brennan pass that was right in his hands. Austin missed most of the preseason work due to his school schedule at UCLA, and he can’t afford [...]

Bruno Burnoski, Owens’s Florida-based agent, told a Toronto reporter via email the Als wanted to cut his client’s salary to $42,000 from $70,000. Another [...]
And no, this isn’t more news regarding his deal with Jockey.
• The former Florida quarterback isn’t officially a holdout just yet, but Denver Broncos first-round draft pick Tim Tebow did miss the first day of camp. Tebow and the Broncos appear close to reaching a deal, but with each day that passes, the QB gets [...]

Solomon Elimimian, who’s recovering from an ankle injury, was praised by one of his fellow linebackers.
