Ryan Tannehill Not Wearing Knee Brace

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill (knee) took the field during organized team activities on Tuesday without a knee brace on his surgically-repaired left knee, which is a great sign in his recovery from a torn ACL in 2017. A positive of his surgery last year was that it strengthened his knee. Still, Tannehill is coming […]

Jerick McKinnon Looks Comfortable Catching Passes

San Francisco 49ers running back Jerick McKinnon caught several passes out of the backfield on Tuesday in organized team activities and looked very comfortable. McKinnon will have an incredibly high fantasy and real-life ceiling as San Fran's primary back in 2018, especially if he's also catching most of the passes out of the backfield. The […]

Raiders Acquire Christian Hackenberg

The Oakland Raiders acquired quarterback Christian Hackenberg from the New York Jets on Tuesday in exchange for a 2019 conditional seventh-round pick, according to Jets head coach Todd Bowles. Hackenberg has been a monumental bust as a second-round pick in 2016 and has yet to play in a regular season game. He was fourth on […]

Joey Bosa Plans To Play At Lighter Weight

Los Angeles Chargers Pro Bowl linebacker Joey Bosa, who is listed at 280 pounds, said he dropped to between 260 and 265 pounds last season and has remained at that weight ever since. "It's more about speed," Bosa said. "When I'm putting up better numbers, strength-wise, than I ever was, I don't think there's really […]

Hunter Henry Tears ACL In Tuesday's Practice

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry (knee) suffered a torn ACL in his knee in practice on Tuesday, which will keep him out for all of the 2018 season.

Houston Texans linebacker Jadeveon Clowney (knee) is sitting out of organized team activities while he rehabs a knee injury after undergoing arthroscopic surgery following last season.

Julio Jones Expected To Return At Mandatory Minicamp

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones is expected to be back for mandatory minicamp in June, according to head coach Dan Quinn.

Christian Hackenberg Ready To Move On?

New York Jets quarterback Christian Hackenberg sounds ready to move on after speaking to the media Tuesday. Hackenberg has been working on his throwing motion this year, but he's currently fourth on the depth chart behind Josh McCown, Teddy Bridgewater and third overall pick Sam Darnold.

Khalil Mack Not Present At OTAs

Oakland Raiders defensive end Khalil Mack is not present at organized team activities on Tuesday as he waits for a contract extension.

Leonard Fournette Looking Slimmer

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette looks slimmer at organized team activities this year. The fourth overall pick last year had a fine rookie season, running 268 times for 1,040 yards (3.9 yards per carry) and nine touchdowns, but he battled through injuries late in the season and wasn't as effective as earlier in the […]

Dee Gordon Lands On DL, Dan Vogelbach Recalled

The Seattle Mariners placed outfielder/second baseman Dee Gordon (toe) on the 10-day disabled list on Tuesday with a fractured right big toe and recalled first baseman Dan Vogelbach from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill (knee) is recovering nicely from a torn ACL last year and will take part in organized team activities on Tuesday and will not be limited, according to sources.

Josh McCown Seeing First-Team Reps At OTAs

New York Jets quarterback Josh McCown is getting the first-team repetitions at organized team activities on Tuesday, followed by Teddy Bridgewater and third overall pick Sam Darnold. This is as expected concerning McCown, and the veteran should enter the 2018 as the starter. Bridgewater looks to be progressing nicely from his knee ailment, but his […]

Terrelle Pryor Has Another Ankle Injury

New York Jets wide receiver Terrelle Pryor (ankle) suffered another ankle injury in the offseason and is not taking part in organized team activities this week, according to a source.

Quincy Enunwa Limited At OTAs

New York Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa (neck) is doing wide receiver drills at organized team activities but isn't wearing a helmet and is likely to sit out of team drills as he recovers from neck surgery last year. Enunwa missed all of 2017 while dealing with the injury after breaking out in 2016 with […]

Deshaun Watson Throwing At OTAs

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson (knee) has been throwing at organized team activities this week. Watson will likely be held to just individual throwing drills, but it's a great sign that he's progressing nicely from last year's season-ending knee injury. The 22-year-old had an incredible 19 touchdown passes and eight interceptions in seven games in […]

Curtis Samuel Participating In OTAs

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel (ankle) is taking part in organized team activities as he continues to rehab his ankle. Samuel is making good progress after hauling in just 15 passes for 115 yards and no touchdowns in nine games in his rookie season. The second-round pick has an uphill battle for consistent targets […]

Norv Turner Has High Expectations For Cam Newton

Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator Norv Turner believes that quarterback Cam Newton can be the most efficient passer in the league. Turner has been impressed with Newton's work ethic and how receptive he is in learning the new offense. Newton is coming off two down years after winning the MVP in 2015, and he'll be in […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Champing At The Bit

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle) wants to do more in organized team activities, but the team is taking a cautious approach with him after he fractured his left ankle in 2017. “He looks good,” head coach Pat Shurmur said Monday after the Giants’ first organized team activity practice. “He’s out here […]

Aaron Donald Won't Attend OTAs

Los Angeles Rams Pro Bowl defensive tackle Aaron Donald informed the team that he will not be attending organized team activities as he seeks a new contract, according to a team official. This should not come as a surprise. The soon-to-be 27-year-old will get paid handsomely after tying a career high with 11 sacks in […]

Josh Reynolds Tore Labrum Last Year

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Josh Reynolds (shoulder) suffered a torn labrum in his shoulder on a punt return in the fourth quarter of the team's playoff loss to the Falcons last year.

Russell Shepard Signing With Giants

Free-agent wide receiver Russell Shepard signed with the New York Giants on Monday, reuniting with former general manager Dave Gettleman from their days in Carolina. Shepard was a bust for the Panthers in 2017 after signing a three-year, $10 million deal after he had just 17 catches for 202 yards and a touchdown. Shepard will […]

Josh McCown Expected To Open Season As Starter

New York Jets veteran quarterback Josh McCown is expected to enter the season as the starting quarterback. However, first-rounder Sam Darnold, taken third overall in the draft, will be breathing down McCown's neck. Darnold will turn just 21 years old on June 5 and needs to be coached out of some bad habits (22 turnovers […]

Alvin Kamara To See More Touches

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara, who finished sixth in the league in yards from scrimmage, led the league in yards per carry and caught more passes than any running back not named Le'Veon Bell, is expected to see 14 or 15 carries per game with running back Mark Ingram suspended for the first […]

Donte Moncrief Expected To Start

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Donte Moncrief, a key free-agent addition, is expected to start alongside Marqise Lee in 2018. However, second-year wideouts Keelan Cole and Dede Westbrook also figure to play key roles in the passing game. Moncrief was a disappointment in his four years with the Colts, never catching more than 64 passes, and […]

Dalvin Cook Ahead Of Schedule

Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer said running back Dalvin Cook (knee) is ahead of schedule in his rehab and is expected to get some work in at organized team activities.
