Baltimore Ravens rookie third-round offensive lineman Emery Jones Jr. (shoulder) is dealing with a shoulder injury and might not be able to practice with the team until training camp this summer, according to head coach John Harbaugh. Jones' injury doesn't appear to be all that serious, but the Ravens are going to play it safe with the LSU product during offseason workouts before training camp begins. When the 21-year-old offensive lineman is fully healthy and returns to practice, he's expected to mix in at right guard for the Ravens. Depending on how things shake out, he could also be a backup option at right tackle behind Roger Rosengarten. Expect Jones to enter his rookie season in the NFL as a reserve offensive lineman.

Los Angeles Rams running back
Kyren Williams doesn't think he has reached his ceiling despite back-to-back 1,100-yard rushing seasons. Williams has also added an impressive 26 total touchdowns the last two years. "I don't feel like I've touched my peak yet. I've gotten to where I wanted to be, but I'm determined to make this my best season," Williams said. The 24-year-old former fifth-rounder in 2022 remains hungry for more production as he enters the final year of his rookie deal in 2025 with the Rams. L.A. could involve backup
Blake Corum behind Williams more in his second year in the league, but Williams remains the team's unquestioned RB1 as long as he's healthy, and he should be considered a solid midrange RB1 option in fantasy drafts this fall. In 16 regular-season games in 2024, Williams was the RB6 in half-PPR scoring with 1,299 rushing yards and 14 rushing TDs on 316 carries.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie first-round running back
Omarion Hampton said on The Jim Rome Show that he believes he and
Najee Harris can create "a dominant backfield" in 2025. "We know they're going to run the ball, so I'm loving it," Hampton said. The 22nd overall pick was a workhorse back in college at North Carolina and was incredibly productive for the Tar Heels with 2,033 scrimmage yards in 2024, which was the third-most in the nation. Although he won't be a workhorse immediately for the Bolts while sharing touches with Harris, Hampton should have plenty of fantasy upside immediately in a run-first L.A. offense. He averaged over 175 total yards per game in 12 contests in 2024 and was also the fourth FBS player with 1,500-plus rushing yards and 15-plus rushing touchdowns in back-to-back seasons since 2016.

The Kansas City Chiefs waived defensive end BJ Thompson (chest) and released linebacker Blake Lynch on Saturday to free up roster spots for undrafted free agents, according to Chiefs Digest's Matt Derrick. According to a source, if Thompson clears waivers, he will revert back to the Chiefs on Injured Reserve and will continue his rehab from the seizure he suffered last June. KC recently signed 16 undrafted rookie free agents. Thompson, 26, was a former fifth-rounder (166th overall) in 2023 out of Stephen F. Austin. He spent all of last year on the Non-Football Illness list after going into cardiac arrest. Thompson played in just one game in 2023 and had two solo tackles. Lynch, 28, went undrafted out of Baylor and debuted in the NFL in 2020 with the Vikings. He has 57 tackles (37 solo), two sacks, an interception, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in four NFL seasons.

The Seattle Seahawks are converting rookie fifth-round tight end
Robbie Ouzts to a 274-pound fullback as part of their vision for a more physical running game under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, according to ESPN's Brady Henderson. Ouzts will be competing with
Brady Russell, who is also making the transition from tight end to fullback this offseason. He worked mostly as a blocker during his four-year college career at Alabama, so it should be a pretty natural transition for Ouzts in Seattle. Ouzts obviously won't be on the fantasy radar at all as a blocker if he's on the field regularly, but this news is good news for the Seahawks' ground attack and starting running back
Kenneth Walker III and backup
Zach Charbonnet. In 17 games last year, Seattle averaged just 95.7 rushing yards per game, which ranked as the fifth-fewest in the NFL.

Dallas Cowboys third-round rookie cornerback Shavon Revel Jr. (knee) was able to take part in walkthroughs during last week's rookie minicamp as he recovers from a torn ACL that he suffered last September at East Carolina. "Right now I can pretty much do everything," Revel said. "Running straight line, cutting, haven't gotten too much into that, just trying to take it day by day, trying to take it slow." If not for the injury, the 23-year-old certainly would have gone earlier in the 2025 NFL draft. Despite the fact that he appears to be making good progress, executive vice president Stephen Jones said that Revel will start training camp this summer on the Physically Unable to Perform list. It's unlikely that Revel will be ready to go for Week 1 of his rookie season, but eventually he'll provide a boost to Dallas' secondary and could turn out to be an excellent value pick for the Cowboys.

Per Rainer Sabin and Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, the Detroit Lions have signed undrafted free-agent wide receiver
Jakobie Keeney-James to a three-year, $2.985 million deal. The Massachusetts product is set to compete for a spot on the Lions' active roster, joining fellow rookie wideout
Isaac TeSlaa as new acquisitions for 2025. Keeney-James didn't post eye-popping stats at either of his stops in college (EWU), though he did catch 50 balls last season and turned them into 839 yards (16.8 per reception) and six touchdowns. The 24-year-old isn't a burner (4.59 40-yard dash) and has quite a ways to go for playing time. We'll see if he can make a big enough splash over the next few months to stick with the organization.

The Green Bay Packers have signed third-round rookie wide receiver
Savion Williams to a four-year, $6.28 million deal. Green Bay has now signed all but two of their picks from April's draft -- their first- and second-rounders. The second of the Pack's drafted wide receivers (
Matthew Golden), Williams is a big, physical wideout with excellent speed for his size (6-foot-4, 4.48 40-yard dash). He has all the athletic gifts to be a menace in the league, but is raw as a route runner, making him more of a developmental asset at this time. It seems unlikely that he'll immediately compete for snaps, considering the Packers' loaded WR corps -- filled to the brim with viable NFL-caliber wideouts. Still, he's an intriguing prospect tied to one of the league's better quarterbacks. If the 23-year-old can hammer out the finer details, seeing him carve out a role with Green Bay wouldn't be surprising.

The Philadelphia Eagles have signed fifth-round defensive back Mac McWilliams to his four-year rookie contract on Saturday. He's the fifth Eagles rookie to ink their deal, joining quarterback
Kyle McCord, tackle Myles Hinton, and linebackers Smael Mondon Jr. and Antwaun Powell-Ryland. The Central Florida alum started 11 games for the team in 2024 and graded out as their best defender. McWilliams recorded 32 tackles (25 solo), with a sack, an INT, and seven tackles for loss. Per assistant general manager Alec Halaby, the 23-year-old possesses the versatility to line up inside or outside, carrying go routes with his athleticism, or stepping up in the run game when needed. "He's a great kid who works extremely hard. We have a lot of belief that he can maximize what he can be," stated Halaby.

Per the team, the Baltimore Ravens are signing former Los Angeles Rams offensive lineman Joe Noteboom to an undisclosed contract. The 29-year-old spent his entire seven-year career with the Rams after they selected him in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft. Noteboom started 35 of 71 games in LA, but appeared in only four in 2024 while battling an ankle injury throughout the campaign. Baltimore further bolsters its line, adding a versatile tackle with experience at guard. He'll join third, fifth, and seventh-round picks Emery Jones Jr., Carson Vinson, and Garrett Dellinger as new acquisitions on the Ravens' offensive front. Noteboom should provide solid depth alongside tackles Ronnie Stanley and Roger Rosengarten.

The Green Bay Packers have been busy signing some of their 2025 NFL draft picks from last week. NFL.com reports that they have signed offensive lineman John Williams (No. 250 overall in the seventh round), wide receiver
Savion Williams (No. 87 overall, third round), defensive linemen Warren Brinson (No. 198 overall, sixth round), Collin Oliver (No. 159 overall, fifth round), and Barryn Sorrell (No. 124 overall, fourth round) and cornerback Micah Robinson (No. 237 overall, seventh round). Williams, who is listed as an offensive guard, stands at 6-foot-4 and 322 pounds. He didn't play much in college until his senior year at Cincinnati, and he represents a developmental offensive-guard prospect for the Packers heading into the 2025 season this fall. Williams has good size but lacks agility, which is why he'll likely stick on the interior.

The market for a return on Miami Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey in a trade is weaker now that the 2025 NFL draft has passed, but the Dolphins are still expected to move him this offseason. The Dolphins would clear almost $10 million in 2025 salary cap space if Ramsey is a post-June 1 trade. There has been some talk that the Los Angeles Rams would be open to a reunion with the seven-time Pro Bowler, but NFL.com's Nick Shook lists the Baltimore Ravens as potentially being the best fit. Baltimore's secondary appears crowded as of now, and money could be an issue, but they have never shied away from making instant-impact signings at the back end of their defense. Other teams that could look to trade for Ramsey include the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Arizona Cardinals and Las Vegas Raiders, but there's also still a chance he sticks in Miami in 2025.

Veteran wide receiver
Amari Cooper is one of the top free agents still available after the NFL draft last week, and NFL.com's Kevin Patra suggests that reuniting with the Dallas Cowboys could be the best fit for him. The five-time Pro Bowler is coming off the worst year of his career in 2024 with the Cleveland Browns and Buffalo Bills, combining for 44 catches, 547 yards and four touchdowns in 14 total games. He had just 297 yards and two TDs in eight regular-season games with the Bills and averaged just 6.8 yards per catch in three playoff games. The 30-year-old might not be a No. 1 wideout anymore, but he could still have value, and a return to the receiver-needy Cowboys could spark a resurgence. In addition to Dallas, Patra thinks the Arizona Cardinals, New Orleans Saints, Philadelphia Eagles, Las Vegas Raiders, New York Jets and Bills could be potential landing spots for the former first-rounder.
