Ezekiel Ansah Lands On PUP List

Detroit Lions defensive end Ezekiel Ansah (knee) is starting training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list after having knee surgery this spring. Ansah had 44 tackles and 12 sacks in 14 games for the Lions last year. He has potential to record double-digit sacks again, but his injury history makes him a risky […]

Kolton Miller Could Start At Left Tackle

With Oakland Raiders left tackle Donald Penn (foot) coming off Lisfranc surgery, rookie offensive tackle Kolton Miller could overtake him as the starting left tackle to begin the year. Head coach Jon Gruden was impressed with Miller during the offseason program while Penn was limited while rehabbing his injury. Miller was a first-round pick and […]

J.J. Watt Ready For Full Season

Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt (knee) "crushed" his conditioning test on Monday and is ready to play a full season. Watt is coming along nicely, but he has been limited to just eight games due to injuries in the last two seasons. When healthy, Watt is a beast on defense and is a difference […]

Matt Breida Will Be Involved In 2018

San Francisco 49ers running back Jerick McKinnon will be heavily used in 2018, but backup Matt Breida will remain involved. Even with Carlos Hyde touching the ball 299 times last year, Breida still managed 126 touches (105 rushes, 21 catches) in head coach Kyle Shanahan's system. 49ers.com's Joe Fann expects Breida to be just as […]

Sam Darnold Hasn't Reported To Training Camp

New York Jets rookie quarterback Sam Darnold hasn't reported to training camp as of Tuesday, according to a source. He's staying away because his contract isn't done yet. However, official practices don't begin until Friday, so there is still time. The third overall pick in the draft may be the most NFL-ready of all the […]

Todd Gurley Finalizing Four-Year Extension

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley is finalizing a four-year extension worth $60 million on Tuesday. The deal includes $45 million in guarantees and will tie him to LA for the next six seasons. Gurley was a fantasy MVP last year in head coach Sean McVay's offense.

Hayden Hurst Returns To Practice

Baltimore Ravens rookie tight end Hayden Hurst returned to practice Tuesday after missing several practices with a soft-tissue injury. Hurst should be fine and is expected to see plenty of playing time in his first season in the NFL. He has interesting upside as a pass catcher but probably won't make a huge impact in […]

New England Patriots wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell (knee) had a procedure on his knee, but it wasn't surgery. The procedure was done to accelerate healing, and the Patriots have also been trying to trade him.

Spencer Ware Restructures Deal

The Kansas City Chiefs restructured their deal with running back Spencer Ware, with $725,000 of his $1.45 million base salary being converted into incentives, according to a source.

Curtis Samuel Expected To Be Cleared For Training Camp

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel (ankle), who suffered a season-ending injury in Week 10 of his rookie year, is expected to be fully cleared to take part in training camp.

Christian McCaffrey Could See 200 Carries

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey will once again play a major part in the offense, and head coach Ron Rivera said he wouldn't be surprised if the second-year back reached 200 carries after having just 117 in 2017. The team is confident in McCaffrey's ability to run between the tackles, and he bulked up […]

Geronimo Allison A Good Bet To Be No. 3 Wideout

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison is the best bet to open the year as the No. 3 receiver behind Davante Adams and Randall Cobb. He'll have to fend off undrafted free agent Michael Clark and three rookie receivers, though. Allison has more opportunity in this offense with Jordy Nelson gone, and he had […]

Matt Nagy Likes Taylor Gabriel

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy is excited about all the ways he can use speedy wide receiver Taylor Gabriel in the offense this year. Nagy said Gabriel has been "everything we thought" since they signed him to a four-year deal in March. “He’s working through some adjustments within the play on what he does […]

Cameron Meredith Could Be No. 2 Receiver

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Cameron Meredith is the best option as the team's No. 2 receiver behind Michael Thomas. Ted Ginn was the No. 2 last year, but Brandon Coleman played more snaps than him, showing that the Saints aren't set on facing a certain kind of receiver onto the field. Meredith is the […]

DeAndre Washington Not Expected To Make Team

Oakland Raiders running back Deandre Washington isn't expected to make the roster out of training camp over undrafted rookie Chris Warren. Warren adds a different dynamic to the running game at 6-foot-2, 246 pounds. Washington had only 57 carries for 153 yards (2.7 yards per carry) and two touchdowns in 15 games with the Raiders […]

Doug Martin Has Impressed Coaches

Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin barely topped 400 yards each of the last two years with the Buccaneers, but head coach Jon Gruden likes him, and offensive coordinator Greg Olson said Martin "jumped out" during offseason workouts this spring. Martin could benefit from a change of scenery, but the 29-year-old averaged a weak 2.9 […]

Julio Jones Does Not Plan To Report To Camp

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones is not planning to report to camp and is comfortable with the idea of sitting out the entire time. The Falcons have stated they will not renegotiate Jones' contract at this stage. However, this stance from Jones may force the issue. Jones has been one of the best receivers […]

Seahawks Asking Price For Earl Thomas Not Dropping

The Seattle Seahawks "still want a really high price" for safety Earl Thomas, with the Dallas Cowboys still interested in him, according to sources. Thomas will hold out of training camp if the Seahawks don't give him a new deal, but Seattle has zero motivation to do that. Thomas is in the final year of […]

Chargers Would Like To Sign Antonio Gates Before Camp Begins

The Los Angeles Chargers would prefer to re-sign tight end Antonio Gates before training camp starts, according to a team source. There has been mutual interest from both sides in a reunion ever since Hunter Henry blew out his knee, so we're a bit surprised nothing has happened yet. Gates, 38, is a shell of […]

Colts Starting Safeties Will Open Training Camp on PUP List

Indianapolis Colts safeties Malik Hooker (knee) and Clayton Geathers (knee) will start training camp on the Physically Unable To Perform (PUP) list as they continue to rehab from their respective injuries.

Bashaud Breeland To Visit With Colts

Free-agent cornerback Bashaud Breeland has visits scheduled with the Indianapolis Colts and Cleveland Browns this week, per ESPN's Rob Demovsky. This is the second time the Colts have interacted with Breeland this offseason, but he will need to prove to teams that his health concerns are a thing of the past. A $24 million deal […]

Brandon Marshall Not A Lock To Make Roster

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Brandon Marshall isn't a lock to make the team out of training camp after he played in just five games with the Giants in 2017 due to a serious ankle injury. Marshall also had surgery on his toe. He had a career-low 18 receptions last year and didn't find the end […]

Eli Rogers To Visit With Browns

Free-agent wide receiver Eli Rogers left his visit with the Chiefs without a deal and will now visit with the Cleveland Browns, according to a source.

Malcolm Mitchell Has Surgery On Knee

New England Patriots wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell (knee) had a procedure on his knee on Monday and isn't expected to be on the field for the start of training camp, according to a source.

He […]

Patriots Placing Kenny Britt On PUP

Cardinals Put Jermaine Gresham On PUP List

The Arizona Cardinals placed tight end Jermaine Gresham (Achilles) on the Physically Unable to Perform list to start training camp. Gresham is a candidate to open the season on the PUP, too, which means he'd miss the first six weeks. Either way, Ricky Seals-Jones is expected to be the team's main pass-catching tight end this […]

Malcolm Mitchell On The Trade Block

The New England Patriots are seeking a trade partner for wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell, according to sources. Mitchell had 32 catches in his rookie season in 2016, but knee issues have kept him out since, and he is likely on the roster bubble this summer, even with Julian Edelman slated to miss the first four […]
