Continuing an offseason theme, new Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy continues to praise running back Tarik Cohen. He figures to be used all over the field in the Bears offense.

Carson Wentz Already Drawing Rave Reviews

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz (knee) has drawn rave reviews from reporters and is now receiving them from his teammates as well. Tight end Zach Ertz said that Wentz has "the same zip, if not more" on his throws. While Wentz was originally considered questionable, perhaps even doubtful for Week 1, he is so far ahead […]

Garett Bolles Bulks Up During Offseason

Denver Broncos offensive lineman Garett Bolles has bulked up over the offseason. He weighed in at 290 to 295 pounds last season and has come into training camp in 2018 as high as possibly 308 pounds. A bulkier frame would likely help him more in run blocking, so this is more of a benefit to […]

NFL Mulling Suspension For Reuben Foster

Despite pleading no contest to a misdemeanor weapons charge Wednesday, the NFL is still mulling a multi-game suspension for San Francisco 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster, according to sources. Foster escaped a potential domestic-violence charge as well after the case was dropped, but he could still find himself serving a suspension to begin 2018. The 31st […]

Frank Clark Holding Out Of OTAs

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Frank Clark has skipped all organized team activities as he seeks a contract extension this offseason. He's entering the final year of his four-year rookie deal after he posted 32 tackles, nine sacks and one fumble recovery in 2017. However, Seattle hasn't had any substantive discussions with Clark's representatives yet. The […]

DJ Chark Showing Versatility

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver DJ Chark is showing his versatility early in his career, and the coaching staff has asked him to learn multiple wide receiver spots while also playing special teams during organized team activities. Special teams will be his most immediate role on the team, and special teams coach Joe DeCamillis is […]

Blake Bortles, Austin Seferian-Jenkins Developing Chemistry

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles has established a strong connection with new tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins during organized team activities. Bortles has often targeted ASF across the middle to utilize his strength and size. The two have also developed a downfield chemistry during workouts, and Seferian-Jenkins' ability to get open down the seam of the […]

Shane Ray To Miss Three Months

Denver Broncos linebacker Shane Ray (wrist) is expected to miss three months after another surgery on his wrist, which means he will miss the start of the 2018 season. The wrist injury caused Ray to miss eight games in 2017 after he broke out for eight sacks in his sophomore season. It hurts Denver's pass-rushing […]

De'Angelo Henderson Held Out Wednesday

Denver Broncos running back De'Angelo Henderson (oblique) was held out of organized team activities on Wednesday with a slight oblique strain. The injury doesn't seem serious, and the Broncos were likely being cautious with him. Expect Henderson to be fine for training camp in July. In his second season in Denver, he'll compete for touches […]

Trey Quinn Impressing Jay Gruden

Washington Nationals rookie wide receiver Trey Quinn, who was Mr. Irrelevant in this year's draft, has been a "silent assassin" and a very "QB-friendly target," according to head coach Jay Gruden. Quinn was the last pick in this year's draft, but he has a chance to make an impact in his rookie season if he […]

Jamison Crowder, Alex Smith Developing Chemistry

Washington Redskins wide receiver Jamison Crowder and quarterback Alex Smith have been on the same page during organized team activities, and Smith looked very comfortable throwing the ball to Crowder during goal-line work. Crowder was a popular preseason breakout candidate last fall, but he didn't deliver, catching only 66 passes for 789 yards and three […]

Eric Ebron Believes He Can Be the Zach Ertz of New Colts Offense

Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron expects to be the Zach Ertz of a reformed offense under newly hired Colts head coach and former Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Frank Reich.

Jake Rudock, Matt Cassel to Compete for Backup QB Job

The Detroit Lions appear to be giving equal time to quarterbacks Jake Rudock and Matt Cassel in practice so far. Those two will compete to back up Matthew Stafford next season. Neither will hold much, if any, fantasy relevance, barring an injury to Stafford himself.

Nick Bawden Tears ACL, Out For 2018 Season

Detroit Lions rookie fullback Nick Bawden (knee) suffered a torn ACL in practice on Wednesday. It looks like he will miss the entire season.

Jermaine Gresham Expected To Be Ready For Week 1

Arizona Cardinals tight end Jermaine Gresham (knee) is expected to be ready for the team's Week 1 encounter after tearing his ACL in last year's season finale. Gresham has been a low-end TE2 since joining the Cardinals and will likely split snaps with Ricky Seals-Jones, mitigating both of their values and making the pair virtually undraftable […]

Carson Wentz Cleared for 7-on-7 Drills

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz (knee) has been cleared for 7-on-7 drills at organized team activities. Wentz is making quick and consistent progress in his rehab from an ACL injury. He'd been working on his own and doing running drills for a while, so 7-on-7s would be his next step. At this point, it's looking […]

Kyle Rudolph Working Out This Week

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph (ankle), who has had five surgeries in the last 10 years, was taking part in organized team activities this week after having offseason surgery on his severely sprained right ankle. It has given Rudolph a chance to work with new quarterback Kirk Cousins, which is a good thing. New […]

Minicamp Should Give Sam Bradford More Work

The Arizona Cardinals are expected to give veteran quarterback Sam Bradford considerable work during the team's minicamp. This is good news for the signal-caller, as he should be the starter for the team's offense at the start of the season (given that he is able to play healthy). Bradford should be considered a QB2 with […]

Baker Mayfield Promoted To Second-String Offense

Cleveland Browns rookie Baker Mayfield was promoted to second-team quarterback in the third and final week of organized team activities. Mayfield, the No. 1 overall pick in April's NFL draft, opened OTAs as the team's third-stringer behind starter Tyrod Taylor and former Arizona Cardinal Drew Stanton. By Tuesday, Mayfield had moved ahead of Stanton and […]

The promotion for the No. 4 overall pick was announced during the third and final week of organized team activities. Head coach Hue Jackson stated, […]

Josh Malone Hoping to Make Second-Year Leap

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Josh Malone is back on the practice field and is hoping to force his way into more playing time in 2018. Malone caught six passes for 63 yards last year. The return of John Ross has left Malone on the outside looking in, but he is hoping to make the second-year […]

Kenny Golladay Looks Sharp in Minicamp

Detroit Lions receiver Kenny Golladay looked sharp in his first day at minicamp. Golladay had an outstanding debut last year, but lost most of the rest of the season to an injury. He still hauled in three touchdowns and averaged 17 yards per catch. He'll compete for the No. 3 receiver spot with T.J. Jones, […]

Malik Jackson Feels Better After Dieting

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive tackle Malik Jackson is feeling better during organized activities after dieting in the offseason. “He really came in shape,” Jaguars defensive coordinator Todd Wash said of Jackson late last week. “I know he was gone for a couple weeks in Phase 1 [of the ’18 offseason program] and a week in Phase […]

Laquon Treadwell Working With First-Team Offense

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Laquon Treadwell has been working with the first-team offense this week during organized team activities as the third wide receiver.

Carson Wentz Looking More and More Likely to be Ready

According to ESPN's Chris Mortensen, who is usually conservative with his injury estimates, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz (knee) is looking more and more likely to be ready for Week 1. Specifically, he said he is, "starting to believe that Carson Wentz is going to be ready for the opener." The Eagles have Super Bowl […]

Shane Ray May Need Another Surgery

Denver Broncos linebacker Shane Ray (wrist) is seeking a second opinion on his left wrist, but as of now, another surgery has been recommended, according to a source. However, the surgery wouldn't be season-ending if he gets it. Ray has had four surgeries on the same wrist in the last year, and it limited him […]

Dalvin Cook Taking Part In Team Drills

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (knee) was told at the start of this week that he could participate in team drills at organized team activities. Cook tore his ACL after just four games in his rookie season in 2017. However, he had attempted 74 rushes for 354 yards (4.8 yards per carry) for two […]

Zach Miller Placed On PUP List

The Chicago Bears placed tight end Zach Miller (leg) on the reserve Physically Unable to Perform list, which will end his season. The Bears signed Miller to a one-year deal on Monday as a good-faith gesture knowing that it was a long shot that he'd ever play again.

Terrelle Pryor Expected To Be Ready For Training Camp

Updating a previous report, Terrelle Pryor (foot) recently had a minor cleanup procedure on his foot and has been in a walking boot during organized team activities, according to sources.

Deshaun Watson, J.J. Watt Expected To Avoid PUP

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson (knee) and defensive end J.J. Watt (leg) are progressing so well that neither are expected to start training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list, according to a source.
