Zach Miller Placed On PUP List

Updating a previous report, Terrelle Pryor (foot) recently had a minor cleanup procedure on his foot and has been in a walking boot during organized team activities, according to sources.

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson (knee) and defensive end J.J. Watt (leg) are progressing so well that neither are expected to start training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list, according to a source.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson signed his four-year rookie deal on Tuesday. The deal includes a fifth-year option. The Ravens traded back up into the first round to select Jackson, who figures to be the heir apparent to Joe Flacco.

Terrelle Pryor In Walking Boot
New York Jets wide receiver Terrelle Pryor (ankle), who hasn't practiced yet, has been spotted wearing a walking boot. Pryor had ankle surgery last year and played in just nine games in his lone season in Washington. The good news is that this isn't the same ankle he had issues with last season, but it's... Read More
Christian McCaffrey Expected To See Bigger Workload
Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera doesn't see any reason why second-year running back Christian McCaffrey can't reach 200 carries after seeing 117 in his rookie season. He had 337 carries for 2,019 yards in 14 games in his second season at Stanford in 2015 in addition to 45 catches. As more of the change-of-pace... Read More
Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski Report To Minicamp
New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said everyone reported to minicamp on Tuesday, including quarterback Tom Brady and tight end Rob Gronkowski. It caused a stir when both Brady and Gronk skipped voluntary workouts this spring, especially after both considered retirement after their Super Bowl loss. Everything is now fine and dandy in Patriot... Read More
Dodgers Select J.T. Ginn 30th Overall
The Los Angeles Dodgers selected Brandon High School right-handed pitcher J.T. Ginn with the 30th overall pick in the 2018 MLB draft on Monday. It can be argued that Ginn has one of the best one-two punches in this draft class with a high-90s heater and devastating slider. The 19-year-old does have a maximum-effort delivery,... Read More
Noah Naylor Goes To Indians In First Round
The Cleveland Indians selected St. Joan of Arc High School catcher Noah Naylor out of Canada with the 29th overall pick in the 2018 MLB draft on Monday. Noah is the younger brother of current minor league first baseman Josh Naylor, who was a first-round pick of the Marlins in 2015. Noah is a raw... Read More
Astros Take Seth Beer 28th Overall
The Houston Astros selected Clemson outfielder Seth Beer 28th overall in the 2018 MLB draft on Monday. Beer boasts power from the left side of the plate but also has great plate discipline. He could be moved around on defense because he's not the best defender, and he could even settle in as a first... Read More
Mason Denaburg Drafted By Nationals At No. 27
The Washington Nationals selected Merritt Island High School pitcher Mason Denaburg with the 27th overall pick of the 2018 MLB draft on Monday. A spring biceps injury hurt this right-hander's draft stock, and he also was a bit behind due to playing football. However, he has a fastball that sits in the mid-90s and a... Read More
Red Sox Select Triston Casas 26th Overall
The Boston Red Sox selected American Heritage High School third baseman Triston Casas with the 26th overall pick in the 2018 MLB draft on Monday. Casas' calling card is his power, and he probably won't stick at third base. In order for Casas to rise quickly through the minors leagues and eventually make an impact... Read More
DeVante Parker Putting In Extra Work
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker is spending more time inside the team's facilities than any other player since last season ended. He has been managing his health and also doing a lot of film study. The 25-year-old was hyped up last season only to disappoint with 57 catches for 670 yards and one touchdown... Read More
Shane Ray To Be Held Out Of Workouts
Denver Broncos linebacker Shane Ray (wrist) is dealing with a sore wrist and will be held out of workouts moving forward, according to head coach Vance Joseph. It's the same wrist that required three surgeries last season. It's not a good sign for Ray and is perhaps why the team didn't pick up his fifth-year... Read More
Bears Sign Zach Miller
The Chicago Bears signed free-agent tight end Zach Miller to a one-year contract on Monday for the veteran minimum. Miller has had nine surgeries to save his leg since dislocating his knee last year and is unlikely to be able to return to the playing field. He has zero fantasy value.
Taylor Gabriel To Be More Than Gimmick Player
Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy expects wide receiver Taylor Gabriel to be more than a gimmick player in his first season with the team. Wide receivers coach Mike Furrey sees a "great opportunity" for Gabriel in this offense after he combined for 68 catches for 957 yards and seven touchdowns the last two years... Read More
Kirk Cousins Could Be Better In Red Zone
Minnesota Vikings offensive coordinator John DeFilippo may be able to get more production out of quarterback Kirk Cousins in the red zone in 2018. DeFilippo was responsible for much of Philadelphia's red-zone schemes last season, and they led the league in red-zone efficiency. The Vikings will likely run the ball much more in the red...

Odell Beckham Jr. Not At OTAs
New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle) is not attending organized team activities on Monday, but head coach Pat Shurmur expects Beckham to be present for mandatory minicamp next week.

Rob Gronkowski Will Attend Minicamp
New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, who has been absent for voluntary workouts, confirmed that he will be a full go for mandatory minicamp this week. “We’ve got mandatory minicamp this week.

Devin Smith Fighting Long Odds To Make Team
ESPN New York's Rich Cimini doesn't see wide receiver Devin Smith (knee) making the roster while trying to rebound from his second ACL surgery. There are at least six receivers ahead of him on the current depth chart, and head coach Todd Bowles said Smith will sit out the rest of spring workouts. The former... Read More
ArDarius Stewart Not Showing Much Improvement
New York Jets wide receiver Ardarius Stewart hasn't shown much progress in organized team activities and is now behind Chad Hansen on the depth chart.

Quincy Enunwa Says He's A Wide Receiver
New York Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa sees himself as a wide receiver after he lined up in the slot (546 snaps), at tight end (105) and at outside receiver (176) during his breakout 2016 season. "I definitely consider myself a receiver," Enunwa said. "Doing that stuff was my opportunity to get on the field.... Read More
Brandon Marshall Takes Part In Practice This Week
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Brandon Marshall (ankle, toe) was eased into organized team activities Wednesday and ran just a few plays during team sessions.

Giants, Odell Beckham Jr. Close To Contract Showdown?
A showdown between the New York Giants and wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. could be getting close on a contract extension. The star receiver hasn't been cleared to practice fully following ankle surgery, but he's getting close, according to head coach Pat Shurmur. Beckham has yet to publicly dismiss a statement from earlier in the... Read More
Justin Hardy Making Good Progress
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Justin Hardy (shoulder) is recovering nicely from offseason surgery, according to head coach Dan Quinn. Hardy should be fully recovered by training camp this summer, but his fantasy value will take a hit with first-round wideceiver Calvin Ridley now in the fold behind Julio Jones and Mohamed Sanu. Hardy has never... Read More
Chris Carson Feeling "More Solid"
Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson has been a standout at organized team activities and has been feeling good after finishing last year on Injured Reserve with a high ankle sprain and a leg fracture. “I feel a lot better now.

Peyton Barber In Great Shape Physically
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber, who led the team in rushing last year with a career-high 423 yards, worked hard on his physique in the offseason in order to try and remain the starter, even after the Bucs drafted Ronald Jones in the second round. Barber also had three touchdowns and 3.9 yards... Read More
Dez Bryant Expected To Wait To Sign
Free-agent wide receiver Dez Bryant is expected to remain on the market until the start of training camp, according to sources. He is receiving plenty of interest but has chosen to be patient and selective. The Ravens offered Bryant a multi-year deal but he turned it down, suggesting that he'd rather go for a one-year,...
