The Chicago Bears are expecting defensive backs Jaylon Johnson (leg) and Kyler Gordon (hamstring) to be ready for their regular-season opener against the Minnesota Vikings. Johnson is "on the right track" to be cleared for Week 1, according to head coach Ben Johnson. Gordon is still viewed as week-to-week, according to Chris Emma of 670 The Score, but is hoping to appear in a preseason game. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor their status in case they face a setback leading up to the regular season. Johnson is a Pro Bowl defensive back who enjoyed another strong campaign in 2024, totaling 53 tackles with two interceptions. Gordon inked a three-year extension with Chicago in the offseason and is slated to also serve as a starter in the secondary. With both Johnson and Gordon expected to be ready for the regular season, the Chicago defense will have streaming appeal in favorable matchups.

The Los Angeles Chargers defense put on a dominant performance in a 27-13 preseason win over the New Orleans Saints. Under second-year defensive coordinator Jesse Minter, the defense held the Saints to just three points and 127 total yards in the first half. This strong showing comes a week after the unit forced five turnovers against the Lions. Fourth-year linebacker Caleb Murphy recorded two sacks against Saints starter
Spencer Rattler, while rookie Eric Rogers had two interceptions, including a 43-yard pick-six. The unit also stopped the Saints on a crucial fourth-and-goal and recorded five total sacks and seven tackles for losses. RotoBaller projects the Chargers as a top-10 DST this season, and this impressive outing shows they are ready to step up in a division with dangerous, mobile quarterbacks.

The Seattle Seahawks have agreed to a four-year contract extension on Wednesday with president of football operations/general manager John Schneider, according to Jay Glazer of FOX Sports. The deal will keep Schneider around through the 2030 NFL draft and will take him through at least his 20th draft with the organization. Schneider has been Seattle's GM since the 2010 season and added the title of executive vice president in 2013. The 54-year-old also gained the title of president of football operations after former head coach Pete Carroll was fired after the 2023 season. Schneider made some big moves this offseason, trading away both quarterback
Geno Smith and wide receiver
DK Metcalf while also signing quarterback
Sam Darnold in free agency.

Minnesota Vikings Safety Josh Metellus and the Vikings reached an agreement Saturday on a three-year, $36 million contract extension with a max value of $42 million that includes $25 million guaranteed, per agent Drew Rosenhaus. Metellus has demonstrated considerable versatility in the Brian Flores 3-4 defense over the past few seasons, lining up at free safety, in the box, in the slot, and even as an edge defender. In 2024, Metellus recorded 103 tackles (63 solo), recorded five pass breakups, two interceptions, and one forced fumble. He will continue to play alongside six-time Pro Bowler Harrison Smith and try to help the Vikings compete in what could be the best division in the NFL in 2025, the NFC North.

The NFL Players Association is not expected to engage in formal negotiations with the league and its owners on a potential 18-game regular season until at least early next year, according to people familiar with the deliberations. It makes it unclear on when an 18-game season could be implemented, according to The Washington Post's Mark Maske. The union could be in position to launch formal negotiations with the NFL and its owners after its annual meeting of player representatives in March. Some owners had hoped to have an 18-game season as early as 2027 or 2028, but it might be unrealistic to expect that to happen in 2027. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and other league leaders have not pressed the union to begin negotiations. When formal negotiations do begin, they could be contentious, as many of the players already think a 17-game season is too long.

The NFL informed teams that for the second straight year, they will not hold a supplemental draft this summer, sources told The Athletic. The supplemental draft is an option for draft-eligible players who did not declare for the regular NFL draft in the spring for various reasons. The supplemental draft was last held in 2023 with two eligible prospects, but neither was selected. A player hasn't been taken in the supplemental draft since 2019, when the Arizona Cardinals took defensive back Jalen Thompson. In all, 46 players have been selected in the supplemental draft's history, with notable selections being quarterback Bernie Kosar (1985), wide receiver Cris Carter (1987) and receiver
Josh Gordon (2012).

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced on Thursday that they signed head coach Todd Bowles and general manager Jason Licht to multi-year contract extensions.

Mike Evans, Tristan Wirfs, Vita Vea, Antoine Winfield Jr.,
Chris Godwin,
Bucky Irving,
Cade Otton, and more. Tampa leads the NFL in total snaps and starts by homegrown players that were selected in the first five rounds since 2014.

The Minnesota Vikings signed general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah to an undisclosed multi-year contract extension on Thursday night, sources tell NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. The Vikings are 34-17 with two playoff appearances since Adofo-Mensah and head coach Kevin O'Connell arrived, and now both are signed with the organization for years to come. Both O'Connell and Adofo-Mensah signed four-year contracts when they first arrived in 2022. Minnesota has the league's sixth-best regular-season winning percentage (.667) since Adofo-Mensah and O'Connell were hired. The Vikings have received only 107 starts from players they drafted since 2022, but Adofo-Mensah has compiled a stellar free-agent class in 2024 that included quarterback
Sam Darnold and outside linebackers Jonathan Greenard and Andrew Van Ginkel.

The San Francisco 49ers have signed punter Thomas Morstead, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Morstead, a 16-year NFL veteran and former Pro Bowler, had been released by the New York Jets back in March. He averaged 48.2 yards per punt with the Jets, and he's only had one punt blocked through 255 career games. This signing could indicate that the 49ers aren't committed to Mitch Wishnowsky, who missed eight games due to injury last year and is coming off the worst season of his career.

The Washington Commanders have re-signed free-agent defensive tackle Carl Davis, according to an announcement from the team. A third-round pick back in 2015, Davis' career has included stints with the Ravens, Browns, Colts, Jaguars, Patriots, Cowboys, and Commanders. He appeared in three games with Washington last year, amassing just three tackles. He's a physical specimen in the trenches, checking in at 6-foot-5 and 335 pounds. Beyond his brief stint with the Commanders last year, Davis has history with head coach Dan Quinn, dating back to their time in Dallas. He played in three games for the Cowboys in 2023. This move gives the Commanders veteran depth up front.

The Detroit Lions have signed free-agent linebacker Zach Cunningham, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Cunningham's career previously included stints with the Texans, Titans, Eagles, and Broncos. He was once a standout defender in Houston and even led the NFL in tackles in 2020. However, he was more of a depth player in his age-30 season last year, making just four tackles over seven games (zero starts) with Denver. He'll provide similar value to a Detroit defense that had been seeking veteran linebacker depth.

The Cleveland Browns have signed rookie defensive tackle Mason Graham to a four-year, $40.9 million contract, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The deal is fully guaranteed. Graham is the latest top-five pick to sign their rookie contract. The Michigan product was spectacular during his final collegiate season, contributing 3.5 sacks and 45 tackles, including seven for loss. He will surely make a big impact along a strong defensive front that already features Myles Garrett.

Carolina Panthers defensive tackle Derrick Brown (knee) continues to be evaluated on a week-to-week basis as he recovers from the season-ending meniscus injury that he suffered last year, according to Joseph Person of The Athletic. Both Brown and head coach Dave Canales have emphasized that although they'd like to see the talented defender back on the field, they do not want to rush his recovery and rehab progress. He suffered the injury during Week 1 last year, putting an end to his season as soon as it had begun. In 2023, he made 103 tackles and registered two sacks while earning recognition as a Pro Bowler.

Tennessee Titans cornerback L'Jarius Sneed (knee, quad) continues to make progress and should be "ready to go for the fall," according to Jim Wyatt of the team's official website. His rehab workouts have included reps on the grass, and head coach Brian Callahan is reportedly pleased with the cornerback's progress. Acquired from the Kansas City Chiefs last offseason, Sneed was only healthy for five games during his first campaign with the Titans. Along the way, he made 23 tackles but failed to force a turnover.

Indianapolis Colts owner and CEO Jim Irsay passed away at the age of 65 on Wednesday, according to The 33rd Team's Ari Meirov. Irsay had led the Colts since 1997 and is survived by his daughters Carlie Irsay-Gordon, Casey Foyt and Kalen Jackson, his ex-wife and his daughters' mother, Meg Coyle, and 10 grandchildren. Irsay-Gordon, his eldest daughter, is the move involved in team operations and took her father's place during his NFL suspension in 2014 after his DWI arrest. Irsay was hospitalized in December of 2023 when first responders found him unresponsive in his bedroom, with police characterizing the incident as a suspected overdose. He was then not seen publicly for weeks, with the Colts saying he was being treated for a "severe respiratory illness." Irsay was one of the NFL's most influential owners and led Indy to two Super Bowl titles, with them winning Super Bowl XLI.
