Packers | Christopher Brooks works with starters Fri May 29, 04:21 PM
Green Bay Packers RB Christopher Brooks took first-team reps during 11-on-11 drills at OTAs on Wednesday, May 27.
| Footballguys view: Brooks' strength is his passing down skills, but with Emanuel Wilson gone to Seattle in free agency and MarShawn Lloyd once again "working off to the side", Brooks is the primary backup to Josh Jacobs, who was in the news because of domestic violence allegations earlier this week. We should know if the Packers expect Jacobs to miss time due to a suspension by whether they decide to improve their running back bench. |
49ers | Isaac Guerendo may miss most of camp Fri May 29, 04:21 PM
San Francisco 49ers RB Isaac Guerendo (pectoral) suffered a torn pectoral this offseason and is expected to be sidelined until around the end of training camp, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
| Footballguys view: Guerendo was already viewed as behind third round pick Kaelon Black and last year's fifth round pick Jordan James on the depth chart. It's possible that Guerendo ends up on the NFI or PUP list to start the season. This news almost insures that the 2024 fourth round pick will be a non-factor in the 49ers backfield this season. |
Jets | NYJ having a competition for backup QB spot Fri May 29, 04:21 PM
New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn told the media on Thursday, May 29, that the team is having an open competition for the backup quarterback spot between Cade Klubnik, Bailey Zappe, and Brady Cook.
| Footballguys view: The fourth round pick Klubnik has a good chance to beat out Zappe, who has leveled out as a QB3 on the fringe of rosters after getting a cup of coffee with the Patriots earlier in his career, and Cook, who looked overwhelmed when he got on the field as an undrafted free agent last year. |
Ravens | Lamar Jackson wants to stick around Fri May 29, 04:21 PM
Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson said he doesn't want to discuss contract negotiations but 'absolutely' wants to remain with the Ravens.
| Footballguys view: The team has said they intend to sign Jackson to a long extension, but there could be differences of opinion about the amount of money, length of the contract, and amount of guaranteed money. If the Ravens and Jackson can't get something worked out before this year, he'll be going into the last year of his contract in 2027. |

Browns | No frontrunner for QB job Fri May 29, 04:21 PM
Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson and QB Shedeur Sanders are the main candidates for the starting quarterback job, but offensive coordinator Travis Switzer said there is no favorite for the job at this point. Switzer said the team is happy with the progress of both quarterbacks.
| Footballguys view: This is a different tone from long time Browns beat writer Mary Kay Cabot's report making it sound like Watson was the likely Week 1 starter earlier in the offseason and a recent report from ESPN's Jeremy Fowler that Watson had a "leg up" in the competition. We'll put more weight on what the coaches say for now, but know that the veteran does have an advantage because the team is installing a new offense. No matter who wins the job, the Browns are probably going to be in the market for a new starting quarterback next year. |

Raiders | Brock Bowers preparing to stay healthy in 2026 Fri May 29, 03:47 PM
Las Vegas Raiders TE Brock Bowers told the media on Friday, May 29, he expects to be 'the standard' in the team's new offense and to do that, he needs to stay healthy in 2026.

Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta (back) is working his way back but will not be practicing in the team's OTAs, according to head coach Dan Campbell.
| Footballguys view: LaPorta's surgery was for a herniated disc in his back, which on the less worrisome side of the range of reasons a player has to have back surgery. We'll be watching his recovery in camp. If LaPorta isn't 100% to begin the season, Jameson Williams could have a big September. |

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey did not practice Thursday, and the team plans to take a 'cautious' approach with McCaffrey throughout the offseason program and training camp.
| Footballguys view: McCaffrey soon will turn 30. That raises questions about managing his workload moving forward. "I think the workload in our sport is really monitored in practice, not in games," he said. So for McCaffrey, workload management happens in the days between the games. After an Achilles injury followed by a knee injury limited McCaffrey to four games in 2024, he started every game in 2025 and finished with more than 400 touches. Even if it makes sense to lighten his load, the Niners have rarely done that in games. We don't expect them to start this season. |

49ers | Surgery for Isaac Guerendo Thu May 28, 06:55 PM
San Francisco 49ers RB Isaac Guerendo (pectoral) has undergone surgery to repair a torn pectoral.
| Footballguys view: It was already expected to be a competitive battle for touches in the 49ers' running back room in 2026. Now, Guerendo faces another obstacle. "It's not a season-ender," Shanahan said. "But it's right around the end of training camp." With second-year man Jordan James and 2026 third-round pick Kaelon Black competing for reps behind Christian McCaffrey, an absence isn't great news for Guerendo. We'll watch for more. |
Saints | Jordyn Tyson limited Thursday Thu May 28, 05:54 PM
New Orleans Saints WR Jordyn Tyson did not participate in seven-on-seven drills during the voluntary workout Thursday, May 28. The Saints plan to have him more involved in upcoming workouts with the hope that he is a full participant when training camp begins.
| Footballguys view: As USA Today noted, injury concerns were the biggest red flag on Tyson's college scouting report; he played through a hamstring issue last season that lingered into the pre-draft process, and the Saints are managing him carefully. Taking it slowly and not rushing him into full reps before his body is ready for it in May just makes sense. We'll monitor and report back as needed. |

Saints | Kendre Miller recovering Thu May 28, 05:43 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Kendre Miller (knee) is still recovering from the knee injury he suffered during the 2025 season and is unlikely to do much during offseason workouts, according to head coach Kellen Moore.
| Footballguys view: Miller hasn't played more than eight games in a season throughout his three-year NFL career. The focus right now is simply on getting healthy, staying healthy, and staying on track to return to the field. Miller has certainly shown upside when available, showcasing a burst and physicality that made him an intriguing Day 2 draft pick. However, availability is the best ability, as some say, and that's been the biggest obstacle for him early in his career. The Saints landed former Jacksonville Jaguar Travis Etienne Jr. on a four-year deal. He's expected to be the lead back this year. |

49ers | Mac Jones does not throw Thursday Thu May 28, 04:49 PM
San Francisco 49ers QB Mac Jones (shoulder) did not throw at the voluntary workout Thursday, May 28, because of a sore shoulder.
| Footballguys view: Jones received a pay raise from the 49ers, and many expected to see Brock Purdy's primary backup participate during Thursday's practice. According to head coach Kyle Shanahan, the decision was precautionary. "His shoulder was a little sore today," Shanahan explained. "He said he could have gone through it, but it was unnecessary, and it gave a chance for other guys to get more reps." We'll follow up as needed. |

Packers | MarShawn Lloyd needs to earn role Thu May 28, 04:47 PM
Green Bay Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd has looked good so far this offseason, but head coach Matt LaFleur said Lloyd will have to show consistency during offseason workouts and training camp in order to have a role in the offense.
| Footballguys view: The Packers let running back Emanuel Wilson depart in free agency and did not replace him with a pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. That's viewed as a signal of the team's remaining confidence in 2024 Lloyd, who has been limited by injuries to just one appearance since his arrival. The Packers also have Chris Brooks, Pierre Strong Jr., and Damien Martinez behind Josh Jacobs, who is now dealing with off-field issues. One concern: Lloyd is not working fully at this point -- something all involved need to see when training camp opens. |

Texans | Tank Dell works on side Thu May 28, 04:28 PM
Houston Texans WR Tank Dell (knee) worked on a side field during the voluntary workout Thursday, May 28.
| Footballguys view: Dell dislocated his knee cap and tore his ACL, MCL, and LCL while catching a touchdown pass against the Kansas City Chiefs two seasons ago. Dell underwent a pair of surgeries and has made significant progress, but he's still not ready to practice. The Texans are taking a patient, big-picture approach with Dell. He has been running routes and cutting for months, but not at full speed. The hope is that he can ramp up his participation by training camp and regain his old dynamic form. There are no guarantees, but it's great to see him making progress. |

Texans | Brevin Jordan takes part in workout Thu May 28, 04:22 PM
Houston Texans TE Brevin Jordan (knee) participated in the voluntary workout Thursday, May 28, according to head coach DeMeco Ryans.
| Footballguys view: Jordan has sustained major injuries in each of the past two seasons. He tore his ACL against the Chicago Bears two years ago. And then he tore his patellar tendon in the same leg last August during a routine training camp practice. The team is managing the workload and stress on his leg to avoid any setbacks. We'll monitor his progress in training camp, but Dalton Schultz remains the lone fantasy prospect at the position in Houston. |

Rams | Matthew Stafford not looking to retire Thu May 28, 04:10 PM
Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford said he is looking to play beyond the 2026 season but will take things on a year-to-year basis.
| Footballguys view: The Rams have already begun planning for a future without him by drafting quarterback Ty Simpson in the first round, Stafford said he'll attempt to manage the end of his career in a way that works for the team. Meanwhile, the veteran heads into his sixth season with the Rams after playing 12 with the Lions. After finishing as QB2 in 2024, Stafford is being drafted as QB14 this year. That price leaves a lot of room for upside |

Chiefs | Patrick Mahomes working towards a return Thu May 28, 03:30 PM
Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (knee) told the media on Thursday, May 28, that he is working towards returning for the team's training camp.
| Footballguys view: Despite being only six months removed from surgery to repair his torn ACL, Mahomes appears to be progressing rapidly in his recovery and was already back on the field throwing during OTAs this week -- something head coach Andy Reid addressed on Thursday. "He's busted his tail to put himself in this position," Reid said. The exact timeline for Mahomes' return remains undecided, though the goal is still for him to be ready by Week 1. With roughly three months remaining before the season begins, there is still plenty of time for him to ramp up further. Stay tuned. |

Chiefs | Xavier Worthy wearing a non-contact jersey at OTAs Thu May 28, 03:18 PM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy was seen wearing a non-contact jersey at the team's OTAs on Thursday, May 28. No injury was disclosed for the reason of wearing the jersey.
| Footballguys view: According to the Kansas City star, Worthy underwent offseason shoulder surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder. He finished with 42 receptions for 532 yards and one touchdown in 2025, his second season in the NFL. The Star's Blair Kerkhoff reports that Worthy still managed to flash on some highlight receptions from Patrick Mahomes, also in a non-contact jersey in his return from a torn ACL, during Thursday's 7-on-7 drills. |
Saints | Alvin Kamara absent from OTAs Thu May 28, 02:36 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara was not present at OTAs on Thursday, May 28.
| Footballguys view: Kamara sitting out voluntary sessions isn't unusual. As noted by Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.football on Wednesday, Kamara has been working out with his own trainers in preparation for 2026, as he often does. But given that general manager Mickey Loomis said earlier this month that the team is "trying to see how [Kamara is] gonna fit on our roster," it's notable that Kamara isn't in attendance -- even if it's not out of the ordinary. The team signed former Jaguar Travis Etienne Jr. this offseason. We'll continue to watch for more. |

Bears | Ben Johnson offers high praise of Luther Burden III Thu May 28, 02:28 PM
Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson told reporters on Thursday, May 28, 'I'm buying Luther Burden stock right now.'
| Footballguys view: As NFL.com's Bobby Kownack suggested, if fantasy investors wanted some insider trading tips in May, we just got it. Burden, the 39th-overall pick by Chicago in the 2025 NFL Draft, was impactful as a rookie but took time to get going -- both due to still getting acclimated and working behind Rome Odunze and DJ Moore. Burden finished with 47 receptions, 652 yards, and two touchdowns thanks to a strong five-game finish. With Moore traded to Buffalo, it's easy to project great things for Burden, but when the coach/playcaller joins the chorus, the hype level skyrockets. |
Cardinals | Jacoby Brissett 'just fine' missing OTAs Thu May 28, 01:14 PM
Arizona Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur says QB Jacoby Brissett is 'just fine' despite him missing time at the team's OTAs.
| Footballguys view: Brissett is entering the second year of a two-year deal he signed in March 2025. He is scheduled to make $4.88 million in 2026, with a max value of $5.39 million, but only $1.5 million is guaranteed. Despite LaFleur bringing a new scheme, the coach cites Brissett's 10 seasons across six teams. "He's played a lot of ball," LaFleur said, "So, he'll be just fine." Arizona will hold a mandatory minicamp on June 8-10, which will result in a fine of $107,911 for any player who misses all three days. |

Link to story Jets | Kenyon Sadiq has surgery Thu May 28, 11:40 AM
New York Jets first-round pick TE Kenyon Sadiq (abdomen) underwent minor surgery to repair a hernia, according to head coach Aaron Glenn. Sadiq is expected back for training camp. The team said they knew about the issue before the draft.
| Footballguys view: "It's something that he dealt with, and we knew about it going into his last year of college, and he dealt with it during rookie minicamp," head coach Aaron Glenn said. The Jets expect Sadiq to be a key contributor this season, so missed practice time is potentially significant. They used first-round picks on Sadiq and wide receiver Omar Cooper, Jr., with the hope of adding more explosiveness to their offense. Sadiq played with the injury through part of last season, missing one game for Oregon. We'll be watching his status when training camp opens. |
Eagles | A.J. Brown trade not close Thu May 28, 10:29 AM
Philadelphia Eagles WR A.J. Brown is not close to being traded as the team is seeking a first-round pick in return, and teams aren't willing to meet the price.
| Footballguys view: While we're all hoping for a quick resolution post-June 1, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network said on Wednesday night that the Patriots and Eagles may still be haggling over the trade terms. "I just don't know that it's going to be like 'snap your fingers, and the deal is done,'" Rapoport said. "They're not particularly close, and there's a chance this could drag on for the foreseeable future." Still, as Profootballtalk.com notes, just because the two sides haven't agreed on compensation at this point does not mean a deal won't go through next week. Stay tuned. |

Los Angeles Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (undisclosed) is working on the side with a trainer during the voluntary workout Wednesday, May 27.

It's also worth noting that Chargers HC Jim Harbaugh told reporters that Quentin Johnston, Tre Harris, and McConkey have all looked elite. We'll see how much work all three get, but consider McConkey the top option here. |
Chargers | Justin Herbert reports for workout Wed May 27, 02:27 PM
Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert reported for the voluntary workout Wednesday, May 27, according to head coach Jim Harbaugh.

The coach apparently took the news in stride. Harbaugh claims his initial response to Herbert was, "Do you need a ride to the airport?" Whatever the case, a refreshed Herbert is back and working with new OC Mike McDaniel, so all's well that ends well. |

Jaguars | No clear No. 1 back for Jaguars Wed May 27, 02:27 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars RBs Bhayshul Tuten, Chris Rodriguez Jr. and LeQuint Allen are expected to receive playing time this upcoming season, but head coach Liam Coen said the team does not have a No. 1 running back at this point and there will be a competition during training camp for playing time.
| Footballguys view: Tuten was being drafted in the fifth round as RB23 immediately after the NFL Draft. He's RB25 now. Rodriguez is RB45, available in Round 11. For fantasy investors, that's the entire problem in three sentences. The fifth-round price assumes Tuten gets the lion's share -- the carries, the goal-line work, the passing-down snaps -- of the workload. We're not there yet. We'll be following up on this situation often in the coming weeks, so stay tuned. |
Patriots | No Kayshon Boutte Wednesday Wed May 27, 02:08 PM
New England Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte did not participate in the voluntary workout Wednesday, May 27.
| Footballguys view: It's unclear why Boutte isn't there, but it's not new. The sixth-round pick in the 2023 draft hasn't been taking part in voluntary sessions to date. Boutte, entering the final year of his rookie deal at a base salary of $3.674 million, is eligible for a new contract. He might be withholding services in hopes of getting a new deal. It's also fair to wonder if talk of acquiring Eagles WR A.J. Brown is a factor. Boutte has never had more than 589 receiving yards in any of his three NFL seasons. We'll continue to monitor. |

Miami Dolphins WR Chris Bell (knee) will be able to do some running during offseason workouts but there is no timetable for his return to the lineup, according to head coach Jeff Hafley.
| Footballguys view: As Footballguy Sigmund Bloom noted, Bell fell a little farther than some expected, but he landed in the perfect spot. The Dolphins are in rebuilding mode and won't rush him back from his 2025 ACL tear. When Bell is ready to play, his strengths as a runaway train on crossing patterns and a big ball winner on the outside fit with Malik Willis's strengths. Once he's ready, Bell will compete with Malik Washington, Jalen Tolbert, and Tutu Atwell, along with rookies Caleb Douglas and Kevin Coleman, for playing time. Bell is an eventual WR1 candidate for Miami. |
