Mark Walton Could Be No. 3 Back

Miami Dolphins running back Mark Walton has impressed as a receiver during organized team activities and has a real chance to beat out seventh-round pick Myles Gaskin for the No. 3 running back spot behind Kenyan Drake and Kalen Ballage. A fourth-round pick of the Bengals last year, Walton had 14 carries for 34 yards […]

Willie Snead Loses Weight

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Willie Snead said he dropped 10 pounds this offseason as he was focused on getting more separation and adding speed. In a weak receiver room, Snead is expected to be Baltimore's No. 1 wide receiver this year after catching 62 passes for 651 yards and one touchdown in his first season […]

Damien Williams Is The Starter

Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy said that running back "Damien Williams is our starter, and we expect him to excel in that role."

David Johnson Optimistic About 2019 Season

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson is optimistic his numbers will improve in 2019 in an offense that is hoping to run "90 or 95 plays a game" under new head coach Kliff Kingsbury.

Jaguars To Use Josh Allen As Defensive End

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive coordinator Todd Wash said that the team will use first-round pick Josh Allen as a defensive end, which is what he was drafted for. There had been some speculation that Allen would play linebacker as a rookie. Jacksonville's defensive line is pretty formidable with Allen joining the ranks alongside Yannick Ngakoue, who […]

Takk McKinley Seeing Snaps At Linebacker

Atlanta Falcons defensive end Takk McKinley has spent some time at organized team activities at linebacker playing over the tight end. The 23-year-old is entering his third season in the NFL and has 13 sacks over his first two years in 31 games. The first-round pick in 2017 could be a more effective pass rusher […]

Deon Cain Close To A Return

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Deon Cain (knee), who tore his ACL in the preseason of his rookie year, is already sprinting, cutting and running routes, but he's being held out of organized team activities.

Both Brown and Boykin […]

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and running back Duke Johnson are absent for organized team activities on Thursday. OBJ has been to one session, while Johnson hasn't been present at all. Johnson is disgruntled and wants to be traded, but the Browns continue to say that they value Johnson as a backup to […]

Jordan Thomas Working As No. 1 Tight End

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Thomas is working as the team's No. 1 tight end in organized team activities. Ryan Griffin is out of the picture, so Houston needs one of Thomas, Jordan Akins or rookie Kahale Warring to step up in 2019. It looks like Thomas, who had 20 receptions for 215 yards and […]

Yannick Ngakoue Still Not At OTAs

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Yannick Ngakoue remains absent from organized team activities on Thursday. The 24-year-old is heading into the fourth year of his rookie deal and wants a long-term extension, and for good reason. Ngakoue has developed into one of the best young pass rushers and has 29.5 sacks in his three seasons. He […]

Chris Thompson Is Healthy

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (ankle, ribs) said he is feeling healthy this offseason, but he's still dealing with some soreness in his ankle. The 28-year-old has been a third-down weapon for Washington in his six years with the team, and he's caught at least 35 passes in each of the last four seasons. […]

Preston Williams Turning Heads

Miami Dolphins undrafted wide receiver Preston Williams is standing out and opening eyes in organized team activities. The 6-foot-4, 210-pounder has speed, good body control and great footwork. Williams was undrafted after an off-field incident with a woman. He had 1,345 receiving yards last year and 14 touchdowns and he's constantly winning in practice and […]

Jaguars Expected To Sign Terrelle Pryor

The Jacksonville Jaguars are expected to sign free-agent wide receiver Terrelle Pryor on Thursday, according to a source.

He has […]

Lamar Jackson To Run Less In 2019

Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti said that quarterback Lamar Jackson will decrease his number of rushes in his second full season. In his rookie year, Jackson set the NFL record for quarterbacks by rushing 147 times, moving past Bobby Douglass, who had 141 attempts in 1972. "I think you'll be pleasantly surprised that Lamar is […]

Tevin Coleman Lining Up At Receiver

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman said that he's been lining up some at wide receiver during offseason workouts. San Fran's backfield is mighty crowded with Coleman, Jerick McKinnon, Matt Breida and Raheem Mostert, so head coach Kyle Shanahan is going to have to get creative. Coleman figures to be the safest fantasy pick […]

Ravens Owner Thinks A Lot Of Chris Moore

Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti thinks that wide receiver Chris Moore could be a "breakout candidate." At best, Moore would be the team's No. 2 wideout behind Willie Snead, but rookie Miles Boykin will have a say in that as well. The 25-year-old Moore hasn't had more than 19 catches, 248 yards or three scores […]

Aaron Jones In Better Shape

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones has just 5.3 percent body fat this year, which is down from around 11 percent last year. Jones said he still weighs the same -- around 204 to 205 pounds, but he has more muscle on his body in 2019 after he cut chips, candy and soda from […]

Leighton Vander Esch Remains Out Of OTAs

Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said that linebacker Leighton Vander Esch (pelvis) won't do much this week at organized team activities due to a pelvic issue, but he has been improving.

D'Onta Foreman Feels Great

Houston Texans running back D'Onta Foreman (Achilles) said he feels better now than he has entering any season of his career and is "starting all over with a chip on my shoulder." Foreman, still only 23, wasn't quite able to make it back last season and managed just seven carries for negative-one yard in his […]

Trey Burton Undergoes Hernia Surgery

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy said that tight end Trey Burton (hernia) underwent sports hernia surgery in the offseason, but the hope is that he'll be ready to return by training camp this summer. Even with Adam Shaheen also on the roster, Burton should be the top pass-catching tight end in an improving offense […]

Jaguars Working Out Terrelle Pryor

The Jacksonville Jaguars are working out free-agent wide receiver Terrelle Pryor on Wednesday, according to sources. He most recently played for the Bills and Jets last year and combined for just 16 catches, 252 yards and two touchdowns in eight games. It's highly unlikely he'll ever approach the 77 catches, 1,007 yards and four touchdowns […]

Jameis Winston Talks Up Ronald Jones II

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston has liked what he's seen from running back Ronald Jones II so far in organized team activities. "I would say RoJo has been showing out. His confidence, his comfort, RoJo's a smart guy. He's getting comfortable in this offense. No one is breathing down his neck. He's more relaxed […]

Breshad Perriman Out With Shoulder Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Breshad Perriman (shoulder) has been missing organized team activities due to a shoulder injury from two weeks ago. Perriman, 25, was a first-round bust with the Ravens but resurfaced with Cleveland in 2018 and now has a big opportunity to make some noise in Tampa in an improving offense under […]

NFL Likely To Review Ezekiel Elliott Incident

The NFL is likely to review an incident in which Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott had a run-in with a concert security guard in Las Vegas to determine if he violated the terms of his previous suspension, according to two league sources. Elliott was briefly handcuffed earlier this month after bumping a security guard, […]

Steelers Not Sold On Chris Boswell

The Pittsburgh Steelers are delaying kicker Chris Boswell's $2 million roster bonus, which was due in mid-March, until after the final preseason game. The Steelers would have outright cut Boswell if he didn't agree to it. The 28-year-old had a rough year in 2018, going 13-for-20 (65 percent) on field-goal tries while also missing five […]

Josh Jacobs Back At Practice

Oakland Raiders rookie running back Josh Jacobs (hamstring) returned to practice on Tuesday after missing some time at organized team activities last week with a hamstring strain. The first-round pick saw a decent workload at practice on Tuesday. Jacobs has a prime opportunity to carve out a big role in his rookie season in his […]

Darren Waller Standing Out At OTAs

Oakland Raiders tight end Darren Waller has shown some playmaking ability at organized team activities while receiving plenty of first-team work with the offense. "So now that he has that position, it’s your position, you are the ‘Y’ in certain personnel groupings. We’re going to put you out there on the field and you’re going […]

Todd Gurley Limited At OTAs

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley (knee) has a specific and individualized offseason plan, and it doesn't include him taking part in team drills at organized team activities. Gurley wasn't present for any portion of Tuesday's session, and he was also absent on Monday. Head coach Sean McVay said Gurley has been working with […]
