The Cleveland Browns placed a second-round tender on restricted free-agent running back Kareem Hunt on Monday.

The Washington Redskins placed their franchise tag on offensive guard Brandon Scherff on Saturday after attempting to sign him to a long-term deal, according to a source.

Alvin Kamara 100 Percent Healthy

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara said his leg was 75 percent healthy last season, but that he's now back to 100 percent.
