Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said he's "hopeful" that rookie offensive lineman Emery Jones Jr. (shoulder) will be available "at some point" during training camp this summer. Jones has been dealing with a shoulder injury and has been unable to take part in offseason practices as he gets ready for his first year in the NFL. The 21-year-old third-rounder out of LSU has already lost valuable development time this spring and doesn't look likely to be ready for the start of training camp. When he's cleared to join the rest of his teammates, Jones figures to be competing for playing time at right guard on Baltimore's offensive line. The 6-foot-5, 315-pounder might be eased into a role in his first year in the NFL, but at the very least, he should be pushing for playing time at some point in 2025.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer's Alex Darus reveals that Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback
Shedeur Sanders' citation for driving 101 mph came less than two weeks after another speeding ticket that he got in the Cleveland area, and he failed to appear in court just hours before being ticketed for speeding this week. Sanders notable went from potentially being a top-five pick in this year's NFL draft to falling all the way to 144th overall in the fifth round to the Browns. The 23-year-old former Colorado star looked decisive and accurate during offseason workouts, but these off-the-field missteps won't go over well as he merely works to convince the Browns this year that he's working keeping around beyond his rookie season. It's unlikely to result in a suspension in 2025, but Sanders clearly has a lot of maturing to do both on and off the field.

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said he's not inclined to limit tight end
Travis Kelce's snaps this year or make concessions to his age (35) after he briefly contemplated retirement in the offseason. "I'm not feeling that," Reid said. "It would be similar to last year I would imagine as it goes. So, he's in great shape right now, so I think he's looking forward to getting going." However, Reid said he will continue to monitor Kelce as training camp and the regular season progress and makes changes if necessary. Kelce had the third-highest snap count and ran the fourth-most routes of his career in 2024, which bodes well for him staying heavily involved in the offense in 2025. However, the 10-time Pro Bowler and four-time All-Pro's numbers took another dip (97-823-3 line in 16 regular-season starts), making it clear that his ceiling probably is no longer as an elite, high-end fantasy TE1.

Kansas City Chiefs rookie first-round offensive tackle Josh Simmons (knee) will be ready for full participation when the team kicks off training camp at the end of July, according to head coach Andy Reid. Simmons missed part of last year while at Ohio State with a torn patellar tendon in his knee, but the Chiefs still liked him enough to take him 32nd overall back in April's NFL draft. He was able to take part in non-contact OTA and minicamp practices, and the Chiefs are looking forward to seeing more from the 22-year-old this summer. Simmons will be competing with free-agent addition Jaylon Moore for the starting left tackle job this year, which means protecting star quarterback
Patrick Mahomes' blind side. Simmons may not win the job outright heading into Week 1, but he's the future at the position for KC.

The Cleveland Browns signed tight end
Sal Cannella and released
Tre' McKitty, the team announced on X on Thursday. After going undrafted out of Auburn in 2020, Cannella has spent time with five NFL organizations, but he has not appeared in an NFL game. However, he's been a standout performer for the Arlington Renegades of the UFL over the last two seasons, totalling 97 receptions for 971 yards and seven touchdowns in 20 games. The 28-year-old has not found a way to stick on an NFL roster, but he's getting another chance entering the 2025 campaign. It would be a surprise if he makes a fantasy football impact based on what we've seen thus far, especially in a Cleveland tight end room that already has

The Pittsburgh Steelers released veteran running back
Jonathan Ward on Thursday, the team announced on X. After signing with the organization last offseason, Ward spent the 2024 campaign rotating between the active roster and the practice squad. He appeared in four contests, totaling five carries for 22 yards. The undrafted free agent in 2020 out of Central Michigan has spent time with the Arizona Cardinals, New York Jets, Tennessee Titans, and Steelers during his five-year NFL career, compiling 91 rushing yards and 52 receiving yards with one total touchdown. The 27-year-old could find his way on an active roster for another team, but he'll likely have to make his mark on special teams.

Free-agent cornerback Robert Rochell agreed on an undisclosed one-year deal with the Dallas Cowboys on Wednesday, according to his agent, Kevin Conner. Rochell initially signed with the Kansas City Chiefs this offseason before they let him right after the NFL draft in late April. The 27-year-old was originally a fourth-rounder (130th overall) by the Los Angeles Rams in 2021 out of Central Arkansas. He spent his first two NFL seasons in L.A. before playing for the Green Bay Packers each of the last two seasons. Rochell will battle for a depth role in Dallas' secondary this summer in training camp. He played in 11 games (no starts) with the Packers last year and finished with only two solo tackles and a fumble recovery. Rochell has a total of 25 tackles (22 solo), one interception, four pass breakups and three fumble recoveries in 48 games (five starts) in his four seasons.

Free-agent tight end
Seth Green signed an undisclosed deal with the New Orleans Saints on Wednesday, according to his agent, Warren Verrett III. Green spent the last two years playing for the Arlington Renegades of the UFL and will now join the Saints as tight end depth entering training camp this summer. The 27-year-old former Minnesota product caught 13 passes for 150 yards and a touchdown this year for Arlington. He played for the Gophers in college from 2017 to 2020 before transferring to Houston. Green was mostly a wildcat option on offense at Minnesota and ran for 388 yards and 15 touchdowns in 33 games played. Green went undrafted out of college in 2022 before signing with the Houston Texans, but he was cut at the end of training camp that year.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback
Sam Darnold had a career year in 2024 with the Minnesota Vikings, completing 66.2% of his passes for 4,319 yards, 35 touchdowns and 12 interceptions in 17 regular-season games to lead Minnesota to a 14-3 record. However, the former third overall pick in 2018 finished on a sour note in his final two games and knows he must prove himself again in 2025 with a new team. Darnold has familiarity with new Seattle offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak from their one year together in San Fran in 2023, but the move from Minnesota to Seattle is definitely a downgrade in terms of overall offense and the weapons he'll have in Seattle. The 28-year-old was excellent throwing downfield in 2024, but it helped to have one of the best receivers in the league in
Justin Jefferson. Fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting a repeat of 2024, when Darnold finished as the QB9.

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that he expects both wide receiver
Rashee Rice (knee) and offensive tackle Josh Simmons (knee) to be full participants at the start of training camp at the end of July. Rice played in only four games last year before suffering a season-ending LCL tear. The injury is behind the 25-year-old, though, and he'll be ready to rock for Week 1 of the 2025 regular season this September after he was a full participant in OTAs and minicamp this spring. Before his injury last year, Rice was the clear WR1 for quarterback
Patrick Mahomes and had 24 catches for 288 yards and three touchdowns in the first three games. However, he has a possible suspension hanging over his head for a hit-and-run incident in March of last year, which makes him more of a high-end WR3 target in fantasy drafts this fall.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back
Bucky Irving noted last week that he aims to improve heading into his second season. "But yeah, just always going back and looking at the film and looking at things that you can get better at and improve in, and also not getting satisfied and stuck in last year," said Irving. "Nobody cares about what you did last year. It's, 'What can you do for me now?'" The Oregon alum burst onto the scene last season with a PPR RB13 finish despite toting the rock just 207 times. He displayed an elite ability to break tackles and was a catalyst for Tampa Bay with the ball in his hands. With the Buccaneers returning all of their offensive line starters from 2024, Irving could be in for a massive year with a focus on aiming higher in his second season. He's one of the more exciting picks in the first two rounds of fantasy drafts.

Zack Kelberman of Sports Illustrated reports that the Denver Broncos have signed former UFL defensive back Mario Goodrich to an undisclosed contract. In a corresponding move, the team waived defensive back Tanner McCalister. Goodrich initially got his start in the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2022, but appeared in just four games over his two seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, notching five tackles. The 25-year-old spent this most recent season with the UFL's Birmingham Stallions, registering 12 solo tackles, five pass breakups, and three forced fumbles. It's worth mentioning that the Clemson product was a standout during his time with the Tigers, garnering first-team All-ACC honors in 2021. He'll attempt to carve out a roster spot in a deep secondary.
