    Chiefs' Gardner Minshew: Throwing at OTAs
    4m ago

    Minshew (collarbone) has been pictured throwing at Kansas City's voluntary OTAs, Charlie Riedel of the Citrus County Chronicle reports.

    Minshew appears fully recovered from the season-ending broken collarbone that limited him to 10 regular-season appearances (nine starts) with the Raiders in 2024. The veteran journeyman is secure as the No. 2 quarterback behind superstar Patrick Mahomes after signing a one-year deal with the Chiefs in March, with Bailey Zappe and Chris Oladokun battling it out for third-string duties. In the event that Minshew were to see any significant action in relief of Mahomes in 2025, his experience and the presence pass-catchers Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, Hollywood Brown and TE Travis Kelce should allow him to pilot coach Andy Reid's offensive scheme to productive ends.

    Colts' Daniel Jones: Opportunity knocks
    38m ago

    Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Thursday that Richardson (shoulder) is dealing with an injury and will not participate in mandatory minicamp June 10-12, leaving Jones in position to dominate first-team reps.

    Jones and Richardson have been positioned to split first-team reps in what looks like a truly open competition for the No. 1 quarterback gig, but the latter signal-caller is now sidelined due to an injury to his throwing shoulder and without a return timetable other than hopefully being back "at some point" in training camp, per James Boyd of The Athletic. That leaves Jones, who inked a one-year, $14 million deal with Indianapolis in March, staring down an opportunity to impress while handling the lion's share of first-team reps in mandatory minicamp, and potentially longer depending on Richardson's recovery. Boyd reports that Richardson's shoulder injury is related to the AC joint issue that ended his 2023 rookie campaign early. While Boyd notes that Richardson's current injury isn't expected to require surgery, this appears to be a situation that could fluctuate. For at least mandatory minicamp, Jones will work to take advantage of the opportunity before him and establish quick chemistry with top wideouts Michael Pittman and Josh Downs, as well as rookie 14th overall pick TE Tyler Warren.

    Colts' Anthony Richardson: Will miss time with shoulder injury
    1h ago

    Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Thursday that Richardson (shoulder) is dealing with an injury and will not participate in mandatory minicamp June 10-12.

    Steichen said Richardson injured his right throwing shoulder during the start of OTAs last week, per James Boyd of The Athletic, specify the same AC joint that previously required the young quarterback to undergo season-ending surgery as a rookie in 2023. Per Boyd, Steichen said it doesn't currently look like Richardson will require another surgery, also saying that the signal-caller currently has no return timetable but will hopefully be back "at some point" during training camp. As long as Richardson remains sidelined, free-agency signee Daniel Jones will be positioned to dominate Indianapolis' first-team reps, giving him significant additional opportunities to prove himself capable as the team's Week 1 starter.

    Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence: Looking sharp at OTAs
    2h ago

    Lawrence (shoulder) has impressed coaches throughout OTAs and has been a quick adapter of new head coach Liam Coen's offensive scheme, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

    Coen singled out Lawrence's "quick decisions" in 11-on-11 red-zone work as praiseworthy, also noting that the fifth-year pro "has done a nice job with his footwork," an area of emphasis for the new offensive scheme. As Oehser notes, the 2021 first overall pick is currently learning his third offensive system in five seasons, but there's reason to be confident in Coen's scheme being the best fit of the bunch for Lawrence, given his track record as offensive coordinator for the Rams and Buccaneers. Lawrence is over six months removed from surgery undergone to address an AC joint sprain in his left, non-throwing shoulder, and he remains on track to be fully cleared for the start of training camp. Rookie No. 2 overall pick Travis Hunter has begun the offseason focusing on the offensive side of the ball, providing Lawrence another potential star wideout to join 2024 first-round phenom Brian Thomas. Jacksonville also inked Dyami Brown to a one-year deal back in March, with returnees Parker Washington and TE Brenton Strange closing out a pass-catching corps that saw Christian Kirk, Evan Engram (shoulder) and Gabe Davis (knee) all depart.

    Ravens' Charlie Kolar: Getting work in at OTAs

    Kolar (arm) is an active on-field participant at OTAs, per the Ravens' official site.

    Kolar secured a career-high nine of 11 targets for 131 yards and one score while suiting up for 13 regular-season games in 2024, though he remained an afterthought in the receiving game compared to top tight ends Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely. He missed four games due to a broken forearm, then returned for Week 18 and the playoffs before another arm injury forced him out of Baltimore's divisional-round loss to the Bills, but Kolar now appears fully healthy. As the 2022 fourth-round pick heads into the final year of his rookie deal, he remains positioned for a reserve role behind Andrews and Likely.

    Ravens' Rashod Bateman: Ravens sign to three-year extension
    4h ago

    Baltimore signed Bateman to a three-year, $36.75 million contract extension Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Bateman inks a contract extension with the Ravens for a second straight offseason, after the team extended him on a two-year, $12.87 million deal through 2026 last April. The 2021 first-round pick put together the healthiest and most productive season of his career in 2024, suiting up for all 17 regular-season contests and securing 45 of 72 targets for 759 yards and nine touchdowns. He's emerged as a reliable deep threat and end zone target for Lamar Jackson, though Zay Flowers remains entrenched atop the wide receiver depth chart, and free agency signee DeAndre Hopkins is an additional competition for targets. With TEs Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely also involved in the passing game, and this team still deploying a run-first approach led by Derrick Henry, Bateman's ceiling in terms of target volume appears capped, but he figures to retain fantasy value as a boom-or-bust weekly option in 2025. Bateman's fantasy outlook is more positive in standard leagues than for PPR scoring.

  • Tua Tagovailoa MIA QB
    Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa: Stepping up as team leader
    1d ago

    Tagovailoa (hip) has been an active participant at OTAs and has drawn praise from head coach Mike McDaniel for having "the most ownership of all the players on each and every down," Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post reports.

    Tagovailoa looked sharp throwing Tuesday despite rainy field conditions, per Chris Perkins of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, and he's displayed no lingering issues related to the hip injury that forced him to sit out the final two regular-season games of 2024. Now heading into Year 4 in McDaniel's offense, and with top wideouts Tyreek Hill (wrist) and Jaylen Waddle returning, the stage is set for Tagovailoa to hit the ground running in 2025, with excuses running out if this team again underperforms compared to expectation. In response to the concussion and hip injuries that partially derailed Tagovailoa in 2024, McDaniel deployed a new offensive philosophy prioritizing short-area targets to De'Von Achane and Jonnu Smith at the expense of Hill and Waddle. One of the largest offseason questions for 2025 fantasy projections remains whether the Dolphins reprise a similar approach, which would help keep Tagovailoa from taking hits behind an already-poor offensive line that lost Terron Armstead to retirement, or return to the aggressive stance that saw the southpaw turn in a league-leading 4,624 passing yards while playing all 17 regular-season games in 2023. Recent trade rumors surrounding Smith, who desires a new contract after breaking out in 2024, suggest a willingness to de-prioritize targets to the tight end position and return to funneling things through Hill and Waddle.

  • C.J. Stroud HOU QB
    Texans' C.J. Stroud: Managing sore throwing shoulder
    2d ago

    Stroud is dealing with soreness related to his right throwing shoulder, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.

    Stroud was kept from throwing early at voluntary OTAs due to what was initially called a minor pectoral injury, but Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston now reports the third-year quarterback is dealing with muscle tightness in his throwing shoulder. Coach DeMeco Ryans indicated Tuesday that there are "no concerns" with Stroud, per Jeremy Bergman of NFL.com, and that the team is simply being cautious with him. Stroud still has roughly a month and a half to get fully healthy before the start of training camp. The most notable consequence of his current absence from practice is missing early opportunities to build chemistry with new wideouts Christian Kirk, Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel, but the majority of such reps will be taken during camp and in the preseason.

He'll have to look for his next opportunity to make an impression elsewhere. The battle for the fourth running back slot on the Jaguars' depth chart is now likely between 2025 seventh-rounder LeQuint Allen and UDFA Ja'Quinden Jackson.

    J.K. Dobbins: Visit with Broncos on deck
    21h ago

    The Broncos are hosting Dobbins for a two-day visit Wednesday and Thursday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Denver's coaching staff seems to be expressing serious interest in Dobbins, who received an unrestricted free-agent tender from the Chargers in April after racking up a career-best 194 carries for 905 yards (4.6 YPC) and nine scores across 13 regular-season games in 2024. The Broncos selected RJ Harvey in the second round of April's draft, providing the team with a potential starter boasting 4.4 speed, though at 5-foot-8, 205 pounds, the team could have some concerns about the UCF product's ability to hold up to workhorse volume at the NFL level. Dobbins has durability concerns of his own due to his injury history, but Broncos coach Sean Payton has deployed a running back tandem to great success in the past, and Dobbins' rushing style could make him a fitting complement to Harvey.

  • D'Andre Swift CHI RB
    Bears' D'Andre Swift: Eyeing bounce-back season
    22h ago

    Swift said Tuesday at mandatory minicamp that he's "being very critical about how I played last year" and is "excited about this year" under new head coach Ben Johnson, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun Times reports.

    The first season of Swift's three-year, $24 million deal with the Bears disappointed compared to expectations, as he finished with just 959 rushing yards and six touchdowns despite playing all 17 regular-season games and handling a career-high 253 carries. He averaged just 3.8 YPC in 2024 after having combined for 4.6 YPC across the first four years of his NFL career. As such, it was somewhat surprising to see Chicago fail to add notable backfield competition in free agency or the 2025 NFL Draft. Rookie seventh-round pick Kyle Monangai joins Roschon Johnson as a depth option, but Swift seems destined to reprise a starting role. With the benefit of a much-improved O-line and Johnson's promising offensive scheme, Swift will be in tremendous position to improve upon his 2024 stats if he sees a similar amount of opportunities. Johnson, who was Swift's offensive coordinator during his final season in Detroit in 2022, called the running back a "fierce competitor" and praised his willingness to "find a way to put his shoulder down and move the pile."

    Rams' Blake Corum: Taking part in practice

    Corum (forearm) has been an active participant at OTAs, per the Rams' official site.

    Corum suited up for all 17 regular-season games during his uneventful rookie campaign but missed both of Los Angeles' playoff bouts due to a fractured forearm suffered Week 18. The 2024 third-round pick now seems back to full health, though heading into Year 2 he faces new competition from rookie fourth-round pick Jarquez Hunter for the backup role behind Kyren Williams. As a rookie, Corum rushed just 58 times for 207 yards (3.6 YPC) while failing to reach the end zone, adding just seven catches (on eight targets) for 58 yards. Hunter boasts big-play speed that could make him a fitting complement to Williams, so Corum will need to show more this offseason to avoid being stuck in a negligible role again.

  • Jordan Mason MIN RB
    Vikings' Jordan Mason: Looks healthy at OTAs

    Mason (ankle) participated in on-field drills during OTAs on Tuesday, per the Vikings' official site.

    Mason appears fully recovered from the high-ankle sprain that forced him to miss the final five regular-season games of his breakout 2024 campaign in San Francisco. The 26-year-old impressed out of the gate last year with Christian McCaffrey unavailable for the 49ers, rushing 134 times for 685 yards (5.1 YPC) and three scores during the team's first eight games, before injuries of his own popped up. Aaron Jones inked a two-year extension with Minnesota this offseason and still projects as the team's starter, but in the interest of keeping the 30-year-old fresh, Mason will be a candidate to push for a significant backfield split. Boasting a far larger frame at 5-foot-11, 223 pounds, Mason also seems the favorite for short-yardage and goal-line work.

  • Kenneth Walker III SEA RB
    Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: On field for OTAs
    1d ago

    Walker (ankle) is participating in Seattle's voluntary OTAs, per the team's official site.

    Walker is pictured among teammates participating in the Seahawks' second week of OTAs, which began Monday. Now healthy and heading into the final year of his rookie deal, Walker's situation in Seattle's backfield remains familiar. If he can avoid the injury bug and stay 100 percent healthy, something Walker has struggled to accomplish through his first three seasons in the NFL, he looks entrenched as the starter ahead of Zach Charbonnet. The arrival of new starting quarterback Sam Darnold could allow this offense to take a step forward in 2025, while new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak's scheme, which focuses on zone rushes, is an ideal fit for Walker's tough running style and explosiveness. Health remains the most pivotal factor in prognosticating Walker, but if he's able to break the pattern of lower-body injuries hampering him, it won't be surprising if the 2022 second-round pick outperforms his ADP in 2025 fantasy drafts.

  • DJ Moore CHI WR
    Bears' DJ Moore: Embracing new coaching culture
    1d ago

    Bears head coach Ben Johnson said Tuesday that Moore "has been a guy that's highly motivated" during voluntary OTAs, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun Times reports.

    "[Moore] wants to be as complete of a receiver as he can possibly be, and he's willing to do whatever it takes to get there," Johnson said. The wide receiver's poor body language last season was also addressed by Johnson, who said at the start of OTAs that the offseason will be "all about educating" Chicago's players about new team culture expectations. Moore said Tuesday that his body language was brought up once this offseason, but that "we nipped it in the bud and it never happened again." Entering his second season with Caleb Williams under center, the departure of Keenan Allen in free agency leaves Moore as the clear leader among the Bears' pass-catching corps, and he remains entrenched as the team's No. 1 wideout. Chicago's O-line upgrades and Johnson's track record in Detroit both point to a much improved offense for 2025, but Moore faces considerable target competition from last year's No. 9 overall pick Rome Odunze, rookie second-rounder Luther Burden (undisclosed) and tight end Colston Loveland (shoulder), the 10th overall selection of the 2025 draft. Moore tallied a career-high 98 catches across 17 regular-season games with Williams in 2024, though he took a step backward from his breakout 2023 campaign in terms of yards (966 vs. 1,364) and touchdowns (six vs. eight).

    Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Full-go at voluntary OTAs
    1d ago

    Rice (knee) was a full participant in voluntary OTAs on Wednesday, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.

    Rice missed Kansas City's first week of OTAs due to an illness, but the third-year pro is now back with the team and showing no signs of still being hampered by the season-ending surgery he underwent last October to repair the LCL in his right knee. Head coach Andy Reid previously said in April that Rice was on track to get an essentially complete offseason, while quarterback Patrick Mahomes said in late May that the explosive wideout had been working without limitations, so it comes as no surprise to see him now participating in full. A 2023 second-round pick, Rice followed up his excellent rookie season with a phenomenal start to the 2024 campaign, racking up a 24-288-2 receiving line in Weeks 1-3 before injuring his knee just seven snaps into Week 4. It's possible Rice's ongoing legal situation (and likely suspension) aren't resolved until 2026, but he now faces tougher target competition with Xavier Worthy having developed entering Year 2, Travis Kelce returning for a 13th season and Hollywood Brown healthy and having re-signed.

Taylor spent most of last year on San Francisco's practice squad and caught one pass for 11 yards across two regular-season games.

    The tight end underwent surgery to address a back issue in mid-May, and while it was initially reported that Tremble was on track to return for the start of training camp, it sounds like his recovery will stretch until late August. That opens the door for second-year pro Ja'Tavion Sanders and rookie fifth-rounder Mitchell Evans to compete for expanded first-team reps and potentially even expanded regular-season roles. Tremble is the best blocker in Carolina's tight end corps however, which will assure him a significant role once he's fully healthy.

Houston acquired veteran slot receiver Christian Kirk via a trade with Jacksonville this offseason, then added wideouts Jayden Higgins in the second round of the 2025 Draft and Jaylin Noel in the third round.

    McPherson has recovered from a torn abductor muscle sustained in 2024, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

    McPherson has been participating in Cincinnati's voluntary OTAs, indicating he's fully recovered from the abdomen injury that forced him to miss the team's final five games last season. The Florida product had the worst season of his NFL career in 2024, converting on just 16 of 22 field-goal attempts. Over the past two seasons, he's made only 52.6 percent of his field-goal tries (10 of 19) from 50 or more yards. However, he's missed just one of his last 78 extra-point attempts and appears poised for a bounce-back season in 2025.

    Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Healthy ahead of 2025
    9d ago

    Koo (hip) was an active participant on the first day of Atlanta's OTAs on Tuesday, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official website reports.

    Koo was back out on the practice field after missing the Falcons' last three contests of 2024 with a right hip injury. The veteran kicker made 25 of 34 field-goal attempts while making all 26 of his extra-point tries over 14 games last year. Koo's 74 percent field-goal percentage in 2024 was a career low, and he'll look to stay healthy and bounce back in 2025.

    Greg Zuerlein: Cut following failed physical
    20d ago

    The Jets released Zuerlein (knee) with a failed physical designation Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Zuerlein landed on injured reserve after Week 8 last season due to a left knee injury but was activated from the list prior to a Week 17 matchup with the Bills. He didn't attempt a kick in that game and then was placed on IR afterward, ending his campaign having made nine of 15 field-goal attempts and 13 of 14 point-after tries. The Jets announced the current move earlier Friday, but the reason for his release wasn't known until the NFL posted its transaction log for the day. New York will move forward with Anders Carlson and undrafted rookie Caden Davis this offseason, while the 37-year-old Zuerlein presumably will need to prove his health in order to earn another opportunity.

    49ers' Greg Joseph: Headed to 49ers
    20d ago

    The 49ers are slated to sign Joseph, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    In a combined eight regular-season appearances in 2024 (split between the Giants, Commanders and Jets), Joseph made 16 of 20 field-goal attempts, along with all 11 of his PAT tries. With the 49ers, Joseph will have an opportunity to compete with 2023 third-rounder Jake Moody, who has been San Francisco's kicker for the last two campaigns.

    Jets' Anders Carlson: Competing for starting role
    20d ago

    Carlson and undrafted rookie Caden Davis are slated to compete for the Jets' starting kicker job in training camp in the wake of the Jets having released veteran Greg Zuerlein (knee) Friday, Andy Vasquez of NJ.com reports.

    Carlson kicked for New York in five regular-season games in 2024, while also logging two appearances with the 49ers. In those seven contest combined, he converted 13 of 15 field-goal attempts and 12 of 15 extra-point tries. Zuerlein's release has been expected all offseason, but with the transaction now official, Carlson's path to a starting role Week 1 is unambiguous. The Jets could still bring in further competition, but for the time being, Davis, an undrafted rookie out of Ole Miss, is his only rival for the No. 1 gig.

    The Chargers signed Dupree to a one-year contract extension Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Brisker (concussion) has been participating in Bears' OTAs this week, Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Brisker missed a total of 12 contests last season due to concussion issues, but he appears to be back to full health, as Bair noted Brisker was flying around and "talking serious trash" at Wednesday's practice. Getting Brisker back to his normal self will be a big boost to Chicago's defense.

    Jaguars' Dawuane Smoot: Back with Jags
    16h ago

    Jacksonville signed Smoot on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Smoot played his first seven NFL seasons in Jacksonville before signing with Buffalo for the 2024 campaign, and now he's returning to the team that drafted him back in 2017. The Jaguars don't have a surplus of depth on the edge behind starters Travon Walker and Josh Hines-Allen, so Smoot could actually play a notable role with his old squad in 2025.

    Jacksonville signed Gardeck (knee) on Wednesday, Brock Vierra of si.com reports.

    Gardeck missed Arizona's last 10 games of the 2024 season after tearing his ACL in Week 7 versus the Chargers. Now, he's getting a fresh start with a new team. With that said, he might not be a lock to make the Jaguars' final 53-man roster for 2025, especially given that they just added Jack Kiser in the fourth round of the draft.

    Raiders' Jakorian Bennett: Unhindered at OTAs
    17h ago

    Bennett (shoulder) is participating during OTAs, Matt Aguirre of the Raiders' official site reports.

    Bennett sat out the last seven weeks of Las Vegas' 2024 season due to a shoulder issue, but he's now back in action for offseason workouts. He had become a regular starter at corner last year before getting hurt, and he'll probably play a significant role again in 2025, but he'll now have to compete for snaps with rookie third-rounder Darien Porter and FA acquisition Eric Stokes.
