Bitonio played in 178 regular season games for Cleveland over his 12 seasons, rarely missing games and making seven consecutive Pro Bowl games starting in 2017. He played at a high level even in his final years as a standout in an otherwise awful Browns offensive line. Last year Pro Football Focus graded Bitonio as the league’s eighth best pass-blocking guard, as he allowed just two sacks and one QB hit over 17 regular season games. The Browns will struggle to fill the void left by Bitonio in ...08 June 2026
Goldman added that the team is “very high” on Demercado before noting his spot as the No. 2 back in every drill of note during OTAs. The Chiefs signed Demercado to a one-year deal this offseason to back up Kenneth Walker. They also added Emmet Johnson in the fifth round of the draft, but it sounds like the veteran has the inside track to backup duties right now. Demercado could also operate as the team’s primary back on passing downs, giving him some extra juice in PPR formats.08 June 2026
Wolfe made the obvious caveat that Brooks needed to be healthy for this to have any chance of happening. Brooks entered the league recovering from a torn ACL he suffered during his final season at Texas. He then tore the same ACL in just his third career game, causing him to miss all of the 2025 season. When the Panthers selected Brooks with the No. 46 pick in 2024, he certainly had the potential to take over the backfield by the end of his rookie season. It remains to be seen how much of a toll ...08 June 2026
Rodriguez underwent a surgical procedure on his left foot earlier this offseason and has been sidelined for OTAs as a result. Given when the Jaguars expect him to be ready to go, it sounds like Rodriguez will be sidelined for minicamp, which kicks off this week, but this isn’t expected to affect his readiness for the start of the season. Rodriguez is expected to split duties with second-year back Bhayshul Tuten this season, and could be the favorite to handle early down touches and short-yarda ...

NFL insider Jordan Schultz was first to report the reunion between the Chiefs and Sneed. The veteran corner last played for the Chiefs in 2023 and was traded to the Titans in the 2024 offseason. Over the last two seasons, Sneed has struggled with multiple injuries, limiting him to just 12 games. Sneed, 29, will also reunite with defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, which could bode well for him as he returns to a familiar environment and a team he helped lead to two Super Bowl titles.08 June 2026
Speaking after Monday’s minicamp, Harbaugh said Carter suffered a twisted ankle but downplayed any notion that it would be a serious injury. The Giants and their fans can breathe an early sigh of relief after the former No. 3 overall pick was seen limping off the field early in the first day of the team’s three-day minicamp.08 June 2026
The Patriots traded up with the Bills to select Lomu in hopes of shoring up an offensive line that allowed 48 sacks on its quarterbacks last season. Lomu did not allow a sack on 769 pass-blocking snaps while lined up at left tackle during his career, and allowed only 25 pressures on 808 pass-blocking snaps overall, per PFF. Despite being viewed by some as a raw talent, Lomu was one of the most athletic offensive linemen in this year’s draft, and figures to eventually work his way into one of t ...08 June 2026
We’ll likely get an update on this soon, but it’s a concerning development for the second-year pass rusher who is hoping to build on a rookie season that included 43 tackles, four sacks, and seven TFLs. According to Leonard, Carter eventually made his way indoors and was seen without his shoe on while leaving the field. We will check in with an update when we receive one.08 June 2026
In an 11-second video posted to X by ESPN’s Jordan Raanan, Skattebo can be seen running a route down the left sideline before hauling in a long pass. The second-year running back is working his way back from a fractured ankle he suffered in Week 8 of last season, and looked to be running at or close to full speed in the clip. Speaking last month, Skattebo said he expects to be healthy for Week 1, and he appears to be trending in that direction. We’ll get a better sense of his availability wh ...08 June 2026
The Chiefs now have both of their 2026 first-rounders under contract after signing DT Peter Woods just hours before announcing Delane’s deal. Delane spent four seasons in college and closed out his career at LSU after transferring from Virginia Tech. He joins a secondary that was dealt two key losses this offseason in Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson, and projects as the Chiefs’ top corner to start the season. Last season, Delane earned a PFF coverage grade of 90.7 and allowed just 14 recept ...08 June 2026
Per Wilson, the Texans view him as a versatile receiver and plan to deploy him at multiple spots this year. Per PFF, Higgins ran 79.2 percent of his routes from the perimeter and 20.4 percent from the slot. If Higgins can secure the WR2 role and gain frequent slot usage from 11 personnel, that would go a long way toward reliable fantasy productivity. In addition to improving his fitness, Higgins has focused on the game’s “intellectual” aspect as well this offseason. Wilson adds that Higgin ...08 June 2026
Josh Sweat is also present and accounted for after the pass rusher, like Brissett, opted out of voluntary OTAs. Brissett was rumored to be planning to attend camp, in part to avoid any fines that would come with staying away, but how much he participates in drills will be worth keeping an eye on. Brissett continues to hold out hope for a pay bump after earning the QB1 job with his 2025 performance. His 2026 base salary of $4.88 million puts him in range with most backups across the league.08 June 2026
Speaking to reporters after practice last week, Bieniemy said that he wants Walker to understand “that we just have to become a better player when the ball is not in our hand.” That means Walker has to do a great job protecting the quarterback and be a great route runner on the perimeter. Bieniemy complimented Walker’s abilities as a rusher and said Walker is doing a heck of a job in practice, but Walker’s ticket to an elite season likely requires passing game participation. Walker is cl ...08 June 2026
Cooper was arrested last week and charged with two counts of domestic violence and one count of criminal mischief. The 28-year-old linebacker now has a jury trial set for July 22nd, which could cut into the beginning of training camp. Whether Cooper faces any disciplinary action from the league will likely be determined once his case is settled, but he could be in line for a suspension at some point in 2026 or 2027. Cooper totaled 50 tackles, eight TFLs, and eight sacks for the Broncos last seas ...08 June 2026
The Chiefs used both of their first-round picks to bolster their defense, selecting LSU cornerback Mansoor Delane with the No. 6 overall pick and Woods with the 29th overall pick. Woods, a former top-10 recruit, spent three seasons at Clemson and racked up 30 tackles, 3.5 TFLs, and two sacks in his final season with the Tigers. Woods figures to make an early impact for the Chiefs in his rookie season and should pair nicely with three-time First-team All-Pro DT Chris Jones. According to ESPN’s ...08 June 2026
Yes, it’s only seven-on-seven drills, but for a player coming back from a late-season ACL tear who is hoping to be ready in time for Week 1, it’s a step in the right direction. The Chiefs remain optimistic that their QB1 will be ready to go at the start of the season, and Mahomes himself has said he’s hopeful he’ll be a full participant in training camp. With nearly two months to go until training camp begins, Mahomes has plenty of time left to continue his recovery before the real work ...08 June 2026
Proche is a sixth-year vet who spent last season with the Titans. The former sixth-round pick has caught 34 passes for 364 scoreless yards in his career and also has 68 punt returns to his name. The veteran receiver could catch on to the Eagles’ roster as a special teams contributor, but given the current depth of the Eagles’ receiver room, it’s hard to imagine him having any role in the passing game if he were to ear a spot.08 June 2026
He said that he had a lot of “little things” cleaned up this offseason. Thomas’ phrasing suggests he underwent multiple clean-up procedures over the past few months. It sounds like he played through quite a lot of pain last year as he dealt with wrist, shoulder and ankle injuries while adjusting to head coach Liam Coen’s new offense in 2025. Thomas is already drawing positive reviews at organized team activities. If he can sustain good health throughout training camp, he has a chance to ...08 June 2026
Brissett has been away from the team while hoping for a new contract ahead of this season. Despite his decision to stay away from voluntary activities, Brissett is expected to attend this week’s mandatory minicamp to avoid any fines the team may levy against him should he not report. Brissett is due $4.88 million base salary this season and is in the final year of the two-year deal he signed last offseason. The 33-year-old vet is hoping for an increase in pay after playing his way into a start ...08 June 2026
Smart. Henderson was viewed as a potential passing game contributor as a rookie last year, but veteran RB Rhamondre Stevenson continued to lead the way on passing downs throughout the year. Over the course of the playoffs, Stevenson out-snapped Henderson 54-to-6 on third down and 20-to-17 in the two-minute drill. If Henderson has meaningfully improved pass protection and receiving, he could challenge Stevenson for that role in training camp. Henderson adds that after being tested “physically a ...
