Kendrick Bourne Has Been Consistent

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Kendrick Bourne has been one of the most consistent receivers in offseason workouts for quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.

The Oakland Raiders fear that wide receiver Martavis Bryant could be facing discipline from the league, according to sources. The belief is that it pertains to the NFL's substance-abuse policy.

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver D.J. Moore looks ready to contribute in his first season and has been smooth during offseason practices.

Free-agent quarterback Christian Hackenberg, who was waived by the Raiders this week, is visiting with the New England Patriots on Thursday, according to sources.

Seth Roberts On The Roster Bubble

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Seth Roberts has been inconsistent as a slot receiver and hasn't impressed in new head coach Jon Gruden's system this offseason. Roberts has been a touchdown-dependant fantasy option in the past, but at best he'd be the fourth receiver behind Amari Cooper, Jordy Nelson and Martavis Bryant in 2018. Gruden also […]

New York Giants left tackle Nate Solder (leg), who signed a $62 million deal with the team in the offseason, injured his right leg in minicamp practice Thursday.

Josh McCown To Enter Training Camp As No. 1 QB

New York Jets head coach Todd Bowles said quarterback Josh McCown will enter training camp as the No. 1 QB, but the Week 1 starter remains up in the air.

Patrick Mahomes, Sammy Watkins Clicking

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and wide receiver Sammy Watkins are already showing a real strong connection in offseason practices.

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said running back Kareem Hunt (hamstring) "will be okay" for the start of training camp. Hunt was held out for most of organized team activities and minicamp, but it looks like it was just a precaution. Hunt led the NFL in rushing last year and will be a […]
