Terrelle Pryor Up In The Air For Training Camp

New York Jets wide receiver Terrelle Pryor (ankle) is out of his walking boot, but his status for training camp next month is up in the air at this time. A similar ankle issue limited Pryor to just nine games with Washington last year and turned him into a free-agent bust. It's not a good […]

Sam Darnold An Option To Start In Week 1

New York Jets offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates said that rookie quarterback Sam Darnold is in the running to be the Week 1 starter. “Are we giving him bits and pieces of the offense or are we throwing everything at him?

Joe Flacco More Motivated This Offseason

Baltimore Ravens players seem to believe that quarterback Joe Flacco is more motivated this offseason.

Oakland Raiders tight end Jared Cook, who had a career-high 54 catches for 688 yards in 2017, has impressed head coach Jon Gruden. “Jared Cook has had a great camp. I did not know Jared Cook moved like that,” Gruden said. “I knew he had really good pass receiving skills, but we can line him […]

Geronimo Allison Misses Minicamp with Ankle Injury

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison missed Wednesday’s minicamp with an undisclosed ankle injury. The third-year wide receiver is currently slated to be third on Green Bay’s depth chart.

Jimmy Smith Participating In Minicamp

Baltimore Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith (Achilles) is taking part in minicamp practice Wednesday after tearing his Achilles six months ago.

Free-agent running back DeMarco Murray declined a workout invitation with the New Orleans Saints, according to a source.

[…]

Rex Burkhead, James White Splitting First-Team Work

New England Patriots running backs Rex Burkhead and James White have taken the majority of the first-team repetitions in offseason workouts. However, it wouldn't be surprising to see rookie Sony Michel, the 31st overall pick in the draft, rise to the top of this group by the time the season starts. Jeremy Hill and Mike […]

Patriots Explored Rob Gronkowski Trade Before Draft

The New England Patriots explored a trade of tight end Rob Gronkowski three days before the draft, according to a league source.

The elite tight […]

Chris Godwin Standing Out

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin has been standing out at minicamp and continues to make plays every day.

Tyler Eifert Not Dressed for Training Camp

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tyler Eifert was not dressed and did not participate at training camp on Tuesday. Eifert was in the building and had said that the only reason he'd be out is for medical reasons. "As time goes on when we start to play football then we will have an idea of where […]

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson (knee) is practicing without a knee brace during minicamp this week. He is taking part in individual 7-on-7 drills but not team drills.

Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Carlos Dunlap indicated that progress has been made toward a contract extension. Dunlap said he is chasing the Bengals unofficial club record of 22 sacks in a season and Eddie Edwards' record of 83.5 sacks all time.
