Mark Ingram Plans To Report In June

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton said that running back Mark Ingram plans to report for the team's three-day mandatory minicamp in June. Ingram is skipping organized team activities because he's not happy with his contract, but after his four-game suspension, he's unlikely to get one from the Saints. After setting career highs in […]

Josh Allen Running With Third-Team

Buffalo Bills rookie quarterback Josh Allen has been running with the third-team offense during offseason team activities, according to head coach Sean McDermott. A.J. McCarron and Nathan Peterman are splitting the first-team repetitions. Allen was drafted in the first round as the quarterback of the future, but he could see time as the starter very […]

Zay Jones Had Knee Surgery Last Week

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said wide receiver Zay Jones (knee) had surgery last week on his knee, and he will miss the rest of the spring workouts. There remains no timetable for Jones. That's bad news for Jones, who was injured in his rookie year off and on and managed 27 catches for […]

Kelvin Benjamin Practicing Fully

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin (knee) is "practicing fully" and is "off to a good start" in organized team activities, according to head coach Sean McDermott.

Brandon Marshall Has Lost Weight

Denver Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall said he has lost six pounds in the offseason and is hoping to lose another five pounds or so.

Danny Amendola Could Be Key To Offense

In the opinion of the Miami Herald's Armando Salguero, Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill will often look to wide receiver Danny Amendola in 2018, assuming they both stay healthy. Amendola could be a PPR sleeper this year as head coach Adam Gase looks to keep Tannehill efficient in the passing game. However, Tannehill is coming […]

Ryan Tannehill Fully Cleared At OTAs

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill (knee) has been fully cleared for action at organized team activities this week and didn't wear a brace on his surgically-repaired left knee Tuesday or Wednesday.

Jonathan Williams Could See Role Increased To Start Year

New Orleans Saints running back Jonathan Williams could be among the players asked to step up to begin the 2018 season with Mark Ingram suspended for the first four games.

Anthony Miller Slated For Slot Role

Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Anthony Miller, the team's second-round draft pick, is earmarked to be a slot receiver in new head coach Matt Nagy's offense and is expected to contribute immediately. Allen Robinson and Taylor Gabriel will be the top two receivers, and Trey Burton was brought in as a free agent to help […]

Rob Kelley Sees First Reps Wednesday

Washington Redskins running back Rob Kelley saw the first handoff of organized team activities on Wednesday, followed by Samaje Perine and then rookie Derrius Guice. Kelley played in just seven games in 2017 and finished the year on Injured Reserve with an ankle sprain, but he's been pretty underwhelming (3.9 yards per carry) in his […]

Chargers Won't Rule Out Antonio Gates

Los Angeles Chargers general manager Tom Telesco isn't ruling out potentially re-signing tight end Antonio Gates in the wake of Hunter Henry's (knee) ACL tear. "We'll look at all the options that are out there," Telesco said. Virgil Green is currently the Chargers top tight end with Henry out for the year, but Green is […]

Rob Gronkowski Expected To Attend Minicamp

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft said tight end Rob Gronkowski is expected to attend minicamp next month, and the team is confident they will reach a deal on a restructured contract that will likely include incentives for Gronk.

Devonta Freeman Taking Part In OTAs

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (knee) has been taking part in organized team activities, according to head coach Dan Quinn.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Demetrius Harris was suspended for the first game of the 2018 season on Tuesday for violating the league's policy and program on substances of abuse.

Ryan Tannehill Not Wearing Knee Brace

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill (knee) took the field during organized team activities on Tuesday without a knee brace on his surgically-repaired left knee, which is a great sign in his recovery from a torn ACL in 2017. A positive of his surgery last year was that it strengthened his knee. Still, Tannehill is coming […]

Jerick McKinnon Looks Comfortable Catching Passes

San Francisco 49ers running back Jerick McKinnon caught several passes out of the backfield on Tuesday in organized team activities and looked very comfortable. McKinnon will have an incredibly high fantasy and real-life ceiling as San Fran's primary back in 2018, especially if he's also catching most of the passes out of the backfield. The […]

Raiders Acquire Christian Hackenberg

The Oakland Raiders acquired quarterback Christian Hackenberg from the New York Jets on Tuesday in exchange for a 2019 conditional seventh-round pick, according to Jets head coach Todd Bowles. Hackenberg has been a monumental bust as a second-round pick in 2016 and has yet to play in a regular season game. He was fourth on […]

Joey Bosa Plans To Play At Lighter Weight

Los Angeles Chargers Pro Bowl linebacker Joey Bosa, who is listed at 280 pounds, said he dropped to between 260 and 265 pounds last season and has remained at that weight ever since.

Hunter Henry Tears ACL In Tuesday's Practice

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry (knee) suffered a torn ACL in his knee in practice on Tuesday, which will keep him out for all of the 2018 season. It's a huge loss for the Bolts, as Henry was set to be the main pass-catching tight end in a potentially high-octane offense. Virgil Green […]

Jadeveon Clowney Not Taking Part In OTAs

Houston Texans linebacker Jadeveon Clowney (knee) is sitting out of organized team activities while he rehabs a knee injury after undergoing arthroscopic surgery following last season.

Julio Jones Expected To Return At Mandatory Minicamp

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones is expected to be back for mandatory minicamp in June, according to head coach Dan Quinn. The 29-year-old Jones is seeking one final extension before his career winds down. It probably doesn't hurt him to sit out organized team activities after dealing with nagging injuries over the last several […]

Christian Hackenberg Ready To Move On?

New York Jets quarterback Christian Hackenberg sounds ready to move on after speaking to the media Tuesday. Hackenberg has been working on his throwing motion this year, but he's currently fourth on the depth chart behind Josh McCown, Teddy Bridgewater and third overall pick Sam Darnold.

Deshaun Watson Making Significant Progress

Updating a previous report, Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson (knee) threw the ball well at organized team activities Tuesday and looks to have made significant progress in his rehab from a torn ACL last year.

Khalil Mack Not Present At OTAs

Oakland Raiders defensive end Khalil Mack is not present at organized team activities on Tuesday as he waits for a contract extension.

Leonard Fournette Looking Slimmer

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette looks slimmer at organized team activities this year. The fourth overall pick last year had a fine rookie season, running 268 times for 1,040 yards (3.9 yards per carry) and nine touchdowns, but he battled through injuries late in the season and wasn't as effective as earlier in the […]

Dee Gordon Lands On DL, Dan Vogelbach Recalled

The Seattle Mariners placed outfielder/second baseman Dee Gordon (toe) on the 10-day disabled list on Tuesday with a fractured right big toe and recalled first baseman Dan Vogelbach from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move. It's a tough break for the injury-riddled M's and fantasy owners, as Gordon was hitting .304 with 25 runs scored, […]
