University of Iowa running back
Kaleb Johnson visited with the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday after visiting with the New York Giants on Wednesday, sources told The Bergen Record's Art Stapleton. The Bengals currently have the 49th and 81st overall picks in this year's NFL draft in Rounds 2 and 3, respectively, and it seems clear that they want to give
Chase Brown help in the backfield via this year's draft. Cincy has brought in multiple RBs for visits during the pre-draft process, including Ohio State star
Quinshon Judkins. They are scheduled to meet with Judkins' teammate,
TreVeyon Henderson, as well. Johnson had a whopping 1,537 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns in 2024 and added 22 catches for 188 yards and two more TDs. If the Bengals like the 21-year-old enough, they may have to trade up in the draft to select him.

Per his agent Drew Rosenhaus, Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter's (foot, shoulder) medical recheck in Indianapolis on Thursday showed that the stress reaction in his foot is healing. There has been improvement and no surgery will be needed. "It should be a non-factor with the teams at this point," Rosenhaus said. In addition to a foot injury he's recovering from, a shoulder injury also prevented him from working out at the scouting combine and his school's Pro Day. However, the 21-year-old defensive end plans to host a private workout for NFL teams later this month before the draft. The reigning Big 10 Defensive Player of the Year shouldn't have his draft stock affected by the two injuries, and there's still a chance he could go as high as No. 2 overall to the Cleveland Browns. Cleveland is expected to take either Carter or Colorado two-way star Travis Hunter at second overall.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Haason Reddick told reporters that he's entering 2025 with a new mindset and is focused on what he can bring to his new team. "I know that everybody is worried about last year, but last year is last year, right?...just ready to put the past behind me and continue to move forward, and what better place to do it than here?" The 30-year-old was unproductive last season, limited to just ten games with the New York Jets following a training camp holdout. Reddick produced a career-low 14 tackles and one sack, a stark contrast to the 54.25 tackles and 12.63 sacks per year he averaged over the prior four seasons. Amid the controversy, it's possible the Bucs got a steal in the veteran's one-year $14 million deal. The Temple product could be in store for a resurgent season with Tampa Bay as they bolster their defensive front.

Former University of Texas wide receiver and current NFL draft prospect
Isaiah Bond turned himself into Frisco (Texas) police on Thursday morning for a matter related to an outstanding warrant for sexual assault, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. He posted bond and has already been released. The 20-year-old has been taking pre-draft visits with teams around the league and has been widely predicted to be a second- or third-round selection in this year's NFL draft at the end of April. He's coming off a junior year with the Longhorns in which he played second fiddle to
Matthew Golden, who is expected to be a first-rounder, catching 34 passes for 540 yards and five touchdowns. Bond also rushed for 98 yards and a touchdown and is known for his speed. He ran a 4.39-second 40-yard dash at the combine in February and also caught 65 passes for 888 yards and five TDs in two seasons at Alabama.

The Philadelphia Eagles agreed to terms with free-agent wide receiver
Terrace Marshall Jr. on an undisclosed one-year deal on Thursday, sources tell NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Marshall will not be anywhere near the fantasy radar as he looks to provide depth at the position behind
A.J. Brown and
DeVonta Smith. The 24-year-old is coming off a 2024 season with the Las Vegas Raiders in which he had only three receptions on six targets for 41 yards and no touchdowns in seven games played (one start). The former second-round pick (59th overall) by the Carolina Panthers in 2021 out of LSU caught a combined 64 passes for 767 yards and just one touchdown on 110 targets in his three seasons with the Panthers from 2021-23. Marshall will be competing with the likes of
Jahan Dotson and
Johnny Wilson, among others, for a 53-man roster spot.

The Los Angeles Rams are re-signing linebacker Troy Reeder to a one-year deal, according to FOX NFL reporter Eric Williams. Reeder began his career with the Rams as an undrafted free agent out of Delaware in 2019 and spent three seasons with the team before one year with the Chargers and two years back with the Rams. Overall, the 30-year-old has racked up 310 tackles (180 solo), five sacks, three forced fumbles, two interceptions, 10 pass deflections, and 13.5 run stuff in 89 career games. He appeared in just six names last year and logged 46 total tackles. Depending on what happens during the 2025 NFL Draft, Reeder will likely enter next season as the backup to Nate Landman at inside linebacker.

According to ESPN's Matt Miller and scouts around the NFL, the Chicago Bears "love" Boise State running back
Ashton Jeanty as a prospect and could be targeting the 2024 Heisman Trophy runner-up with the No. 10 selection in the 2025 NFL Draft. Jeanty took the college football world by storm last season, posting 2,601 rushing yards and 30 total touchdowns. However, Jeanty might not make it to Chicago if they stay put at No. 10, as the Las Vegas Raiders, who hold the No. 6 selection, are rumored to be interested in picking him there. Chicago has two second-round picks, so they could be aggressive in trading up. However, the team has other needs at defensive tackle and edge rusher, so the range of outcomes is wide in the first year under head coach Ben Johnson.

The Carolina Panthers are continuing to evaluate quarterback
Bryce Young, and adding high-caliber pass-catchers around him will be critical in that process. However, the team ranked last in total yards allowed per game (404.5) last season and is expected to use most of its nine picks in the 2025 NFL Draft to address that side of the ball. According to Panthers reporter David Newton, seven of the nine picks being used on defense is a fair estimate, and it's almost a guarantee Carolina will use its first-round pick on a front-seven defender. Georgia edge rushers Mykel Williams and Jalon Walker are potential targets in the top 10 of this month's draft. In a weak overall wide receiver class, Carolina could wait until the later rounds to address that need.

The Cleveland Browns hold the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft and despite the need at quarterback after the failed
Deshaun Watson experience, the team is expected to take either Colorado wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter or Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter with the early selection. However, ESPN's Jordan Reid speculates that Cleveland could either trade back into the first round to select or quarterback or address the position in Round 2 with the No. 33 overall selection. Colorado's
Shedeur Sanders or Ole Miss'
Jaxson Dart are potential targets if a trade-up occurs, while Alabama's
Jalen Milroe or Louisville's
Tyler Shough would make sense at the start of Day 2. For now,
Kenny Pickett is penciled in as Cleveland's starter, but the team will almost certainly select a quarterback at some point in late April's draft.

The Tennessee Titans are overwhelmingly expected to pick Miami quarterback Cam Ward with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Ward will give Tennessee its potential franchise quarterback, but the team still needs to address the wide receiver spot behind
Calvin Ridley, who posted over 1,000 yards in his first year with the organization. According to ESPN's Matt Miller, Tennessee is expected to be aggressive in adding a wideout and could trade back into the first round to land Missouri's
Luther Burden III or Ohio State's
Emeka Egbuka. The two pass-catchers were all-conference performers in the SEC and Big Ten, respectively last season. That said, one or both wide receivers could be available with the Titans' No. 35 overall pick, so all options are on the table.

The New York Giants are hosting North Carolina running back
Omarion Hampton on a visit Thursday, according to NFL.com. The team is reportedly doing work on running back prospects ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft, and Hampton is largely viewed as the RB2 in the class behind Boise State's
Ashton Jeanty. That said, he is expected to be picked in the back half of the first round, so the Giants would likely need to trade back into Round 1 if they have a shot to land him. Hampton posted over 1,500 rushing yards and 15 rushing touchdowns in each of his last two collegiate seasons and could be a true workhorse at the next level.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. impressed as a rookie for the G-Men, but the organization could be looking to add a true difference-maker at the position after losing
Saquon Barkley last offseason.

University of Baylor wide receiver Hal Presley visited with the Denver Broncos this week, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Presley isn't one of the bigger names in the receiver draft class this year, but the Broncos could look to target the 6-foot-3, 210-pounder in the later rounds of this year's draft as they look to add weapons on offense for impressive young quarterback
Bo Nix. Presley finished his senior year with Baylor in 2024 with 31 catches for 429 yards and three touchdowns. Denver currently has
Courtland Sutton as their unquestioned WR1, but they could use additional depth at the position alongside
Marvin Mims Jr.,
Devaughn Vele and
Troy Franklin. The Broncos also added tight end
Evan Engram in free agency, and he could end up being one of the most targeted pass-catchers in 2025.

Texas A&M pass-rusher Shemar Stewart is scheduled to visit with the Chicago Bears, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. In addition to the Bears, Stewart has been closely linked to the New York Jets, San Francisco 49ers and Atlanta Falcons during the pre-draft process. Sports Illustrated has Stewart projected to the 49ers in the first round at the end of this month. The 21-year-old defensive end only had 4.5 sacks in three college seasons, but he's extremely gifted athletically and stands at 6-foot-5, 267 pounds and ran a 4.59-second 40-yard dash. The Miami native has a rare combination of six, length and explosiveness as a pass-rusher, but he'll need to be coached up to better utilize his athleticism so that he can be more productive at the NFL level. Chicago is in need of adding some pass-rushing help alongside Montez Sweat.
