Los Angeles Rams All-Pro defensive tackle Aaron Donald (ankle) said that he's feeling 100 percent after having surgery to fix a high-ankle sprain in the offseason.

"All signs point to" the Minnesota Vikings moving on from running back Dalvin Cook, according to ESPN's Dianna Russini. Cook is recovering from shoulder surgery that he had back in February, and his rehab could cause him to miss organized team activities this month. The 27-year-old has dealt with shoulder injuries off and on since […]

Lynn Bowden Released By New England

The Patriots released wide receiver Lynn Bowden Jr. The Raiders selected Bowden in the 2020 NFL Draft after a quality collegiate career. Since then, he's played for the Dolphins, where he was eventually waived before signing with New England in September 2022. Unfortunately, he hasn't lived up to expectations at the professional level, so he […]

Seahawks Add Bryant Koback

Free-agent running back Bryant Koback signed with the Seahawks, the team announced on Wednesday. The 25-year-old had a stellar collegiate career, rushing for 4,026 yards and totaling 52 touchdowns. However, he wasn't selected in the 2022 NFL Draft but was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Vikings last offseason, where he spent the […]

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice will be tasked with helping replace JuJu Smith-Schuster, who departed to join the New England Patriots this offseason. Chiefs general manager Brett Veach said "We did lose JuJu..... it makes sense to find a guy who can do a lot of things (JuJu) can do on the inside. […]

Buccaneers Not In A Hurry To Name Starting QB

Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Dave Canales said the team is in no rush to name a starting quarterback for the 2023 NFL season. The competition is open between the 25-year-old Kyle Trask and 28-year-old former No. 1 overall pick Baker Mayfield. Trask has yet to start an NFL game and has thrown just nine […]

Ravens Hope To Use Lamar Jackson Less In Rushing Game

Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken was asked if quarterback Lamar Jackson could see his rushing usage come down in 2023. "The more talented you are around your quarterback, the less he has to take on that burden," Monken said. "As Lamar gets older, you want to take some of that (rushing) off the player, […]

Lions GM Expects Sam LaPorta To Produce Early

Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes said to "expect a pretty early impact" from rookie second-round tight end Sam LaPorta.

Deonte Banks Could Make Impact From Day 1

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll constantly reiterates that training camp this summer will be a competition for starting spots, but rookie cornerback Deonte Banks could have the biggest impact from Day 1. The first-rounder will likely be the starter opposite top corner Adoree' Jackson. Jackson isn't signed beyond next year, though, so Banks […]

Isaiah Foskey Could Be Rotational Pass-Rusher

New Orleans Saints rookie pass-rusher Isaiah Foskey has an opportunity to emerge as a potent pass-rusher opposite Cam Jordan in his first NFL season. Carl Granderson might be the favorite to start, but Payton Turner is closer than not to being labeled a bust, and Marcus Davenport is gone. Foskey has a reasonable chance to […]

Chad Ryland To Compete With Nick Folk

The New England Patriots traded up in the fourth round of this year's NFL draft to take kicker Chad Ryland, who will technically compete with Nick Folk for the job in training camp this summer. However, teams don't draft kickers in the fourth round just to cut them in September. Ryland is a big-legged kicker […]

Jordan Addison Should Make An Immediate Impact

Minnesota Vikings rookie wide receiver Jordan Addison is undersized at 5-foot-11 and 173 pounds, which raises durability concerns, but the Vikings wouldn't have taken him in the first round of this year's NFL draft if they didn't think he could thrive immediately. His separation skills at multiple levels will create flexibility for head coach Kevin […]

Cam Smith Could Get On The Field Right Away

Miami Dolphins rookie cornerback Cam Smith is a fine athlete whose ability to play inside and out and his love for making plays in the running game should get him on the field right away in his first NFL season, even in a secondary that already boasts two top talents in Jalen Ramsey and Xavien […]

Romeo Doubs Could Lead Team In Catches

The Athletic's Matt Schneidman predicts that Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs will lead the team in catches in 2023 in quarterback Jordan Love's first full season as the starter under center. After Doubs, Scheidman goes with Christian Watson, running back Aaron Jones, rookie tight end Luke Musgrave and rookie receiver Jayden Reed. Doubs […]

Jayden Reed Could Play The Slot Right Away

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Jayden Reed gives the team's receiver room something it doesn't have in terms of size and speed, and he could play the slot right away in his first NFL season. Reed was taken in the second round of this year's draft. The 23-year-old stands at 5-foot-11, 187 pounds, and […]

David Bakhtiari Unlikely To Be Traded

The Athletic's Matt Schneidman thinks the odds are astronomically low that left tackle David Bakhtiari is traded during the 2023 season. However, there's a much greater chance that the team looks to get rid of him next offseason, but the Packers won't need to move on from him just because of the direction the team […]

Von Miller Could Miss Start Of Regular Season

Buffalo Bills edge rusher Von Miller's (knee) ACL tear in late November of last year could put him in jeopardy of missing the start of the 2023 regular season, regardless of how optimistic he might appear to be about it. Considering Miller's age (34) and how important he is to the team's playoff push, so […]

Khalil Shakir, Deonte Harty To Compete For Slot Role

Buffalo Bills wide receivers Khalil Shakir and Deonte Harty will compete to be the starting slot receiver in a more traditional 11-personnel look this summer at training camp. However, whoever wins the job could concede a lot of snaps to first-round tight end Dalton Kincaid, who is expected to be lined up a lot as […]

Damien Harris, Latavius Murray Could Be In Competition

The Athletic's Joe Buscaglia suggests that Buffalo Bills running backs Damien Harris and Latavius Murray could be in a competition to see who the complementary rusher behind James Cook will be in 2023. Both Harris ($1.4 million) and Murray ($802,500) received substantial guaranteed money from the Bills. Unless he suddenly takes to the offense this […]

Kyle Allen Likely To Win Backup Job In Buffalo

The Buffalo Bills' backup quarterback job will be more of a competition in 2023 than it was this past year between Kyle Allen and Matt Barkley. Allen is the likeliest to win the job behind Josh Allen with the Bills successfully getting Barkley to the practice squad in past years. Kyle Allen, 27, has made […]

Ezekiel Elliott A Rumored Option For Buccaneers

Free-agent running back Ezekiel Elliott could be an option for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Elliott hasn't garnered much interest on the free-agent market this offseason after he and the Dallas Cowboys parted ways following the 2022 season. Tampa Bay was expected to open the season with Rachaad White as their […]

Hendon Hooker Looking At A Redshirt Year

Detroit Lions quarterback Hendon Hooker is probably looking at a redshirt rookie year, according to head coach Dan Campbell. Hooker is still rehabbing a torn ACL and the Lions appear to be committed to Jared Goff as their starter in the near future. Hooker could be a long-term answer at the quarterback position for the […]
