ESPN’s Nick Wagoner reports that the 49ers plan to be cautious with RB Christian McCaffrey “through the rest of the offseason program and training camp.”

29 May 2026

McCaffrey practiced with the team on Wednesday. He was held out of team drills on Thursday and worked on his conditioning on a side field instead. Late in March, coach Kyle Shanahan said he wants less “wear and tear” on McCaffrey this season. The plan to reduce wear and tear may be limited to the practice week. McCaffrey told reporters today that he thinks “the workload in our sport is really monitored in practice, not in games,” and that he likes to prepare himself “for playing every ...

49ers DL Nick Bosa (knee) said it is “realistic” for him to be ready for the start of training camp “or soon after.”

29 May 2026

Bosa has been rehabbing this offseason after tearing his ACL early in November. He said he is “far along” in the recovery process and should be good to go for the 2026 season. Bosa tore his right ACL in high school and his left ACL in 2020. Although having experience in this department is less than ideal, Bosa said his prior experiences have helped him during this rehab process.

Vikings completed the second round of interviews for their general manager vacancy.

29 May 2026

The list of finalists includes Vikings executive vice president of football operations and interim general manager Rob Brzezinski, Broncos assistant general manager Reed Burckhardt, Bills assistant general manager Terrance Gray, Rams assistant general manager John McKay and Seahawks assistant general manager Nolan Teasley. Per The Athletic’s Alec Lewis, it “remains unclear whether or not ownership wants to do more due diligence, most have expected a resolution late May/early June.”

Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd (undisclosed) sat out during team drills at organized team activities on Wednesday.

28 May 2026

It’s possible this is just a maintenance-related coaching decision, but it is still slightly concerning. Injuries have limited Lloyd to just 10 offensive snaps through two NFL seasons. Packers starting RB Josh Jacobs was arrested on Tuesday and was not present on Wednesday, allowing the backups to take first-team snaps. Per ESPN’s Rob Demovsky, Lloyd “took part in team drills during Tuesday’s closed session but did only individual work Wednesday.” Packers RB Chris Brooks began team dri ...

Packers RB Chris Brooks took first-team reps to begin 11-on-11 drills at organized team activities on Wednesday.

28 May 2026

Brooks opened team drills as the Packers’ starting running back on Wednesday. Fellow backup RB Pierre Strong then subbed in, taking first-team reps as well. Starting RB Josh Jacobs was arrested on Tuesday for domestic abuse and was not present. Presumed RB MarShawn Lloyd practiced on Tuesday, but was limited to individual drills for an undisclosed reason on Wednesday. Injuries derailed Lloyd’s first two NFL seasons, so his absence is worth monitoring. Brooks

Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski said QB Tua Tagovailoa has “innate” accuracy as a passer.

28 May 2026

Stefanski went on to explain that he believes accuracy is “the most important trait at the position,” after referring to Tagovailoa’s accuracy as being “God-given.” Stefanski then quickly added that “all” of the Falcons quarterbacks have this innate trait, but it was easy to see that his focus was on the former Dolphins quarterback. Tagovailoa’s downfield passing showed signs of decline last season, but he has evidently earned a public compliment from his new head coach. The batt ...

49ers RB Isaac Guerendo tore his pectoral lifting weights about a month ago and could return “around the end of training camp.”

28 May 2026

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan broke the news this afternoon. This is a bummer. Earlier this month, The Athletic’s Vic Tafur said he believed Guerendo was “buried” on the depth chart and will likely “be looking for a new team” at some point. The team could end up releasing him with an injury settlement, but we suppose some sort of reserve list placement is possible. 49ers RBs Jordan James and Kaelon Black can be expected to compete for RB2 duties at this time. The team also signed RBs ...

49ers released RB Sincere McCormick.

28 May 2026

McCormick could get a chance to compete for a roster spot elsewhere. The 49ers correspondingly signed RB Jordan Mims, formerly of the Titans, and RB Jermar Jefferson, formerly of the Cardinals. The 49ers also placed S Darrick Forrest on injured reserve.

49ers RB Isaac Guerendo tore his pectoral lifting weights about a month ago and is expected to return “around the end of training camp.”

28 May 2026


Raiders TE Brock Bowers said he feels 100 percent healthy and is practicing at “full speed.”

28 May 2026

Bowers’ 2025 season was hampered by a PCL sprain and bone bruise that he suffered in Week 1, which eventually led to an injured reserve placement in Week 17. The 23-year-old tight end is now set to operate as coach Klint Kubiak’s No. 1 pass-catcher in what should be a far more fantasy-friendly offensive scheme. Kubiak endearingly referred to Bowers as “a football robot from heaven” last week. He’s a candidate to compete for the overall TE1 spot this season.

Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said WR Jayden Higgins “has taken advantage of the offseason” and looks “bigger, stronger and faster.”

28 May 2026

Regarding Higgins’ on-field development, Ryans is “really excited to see how he’s going to look this season.” Ryans covered all the bases here. It’s always nice to hear that a player worked hard to prepare for organized team activities, but physical improvements are only half the battle. Hopefully, positive reports on Higgins’ route running and film studies are soon to follow.

Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said that TE Brevin Jordan (knee) is being eased back in at organized team activities.

28 May 2026

Jordan is participating in some capacity. Per Ryans, Jordan “had a really big play yesterday on a choice route.” Jordan, 25, has played just two games in each of the last two seasons, having torn an ACL in September 2024 and another in August 2025. If he can remain healthy, Jordan will compete for a backup role this season.

Texans WR Tank Dell (knee) is working off to the side at organized team activities.

28 May 2026

Earlier this month, NBC Sports Houston’s Aaron Wilson reported that Dell is “doing well,” and has been running and cutting, but is not yet 100 percent healthy. Today, Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans refrained from updating Dell’s expected recovery timeline, saying, “when that time is set for him to be back, he’ll be back.”

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said the NFL has not indicated it will suspend WR Rashee Rice for violating his probation.

28 May 2026

Reid gave a meandering response when asked about the team’s discussions with the league regarding Rice’s latest off-field issues. Rice is currently serving a 30-day jail sentence for violating his probation. Per Reid, the team spoke with the league, and “as far as any further ado to that, there’s been no talk about anything further.” Reid said only, “don’t know,” when reporters tried to clarify whether Rice might be suspended. The Chiefs are evidently “moving forward, just norm ...

The Kansas City Star’s Pete Sweeney reports that Chiefs TE Travis Kelce was not seen during the voluntary organized team activities viewing session on Thursday.

28 May 2026

Today’s session was voluntary and Kelce is entering his 13th NFL season. We would love it if he were there, but we are not worried about his absence. Kelce signed a three-year extension late in March and will once again man the TE1 spot in Kansas City this season. The Chiefs have another three-day OTA run from June 1-3. Mandatory minicamp goes from June 9-11.

Saints head coach Kellen Moore said there is “no timeline” for figuring out RB Alvin Kamara’s status on the roster.

28 May 2026

For the time being, Kamara remains a Saint. It is entirely unclear how long that will remain the case. Early last week, general manager Mickey Loomis said the team is trying to figure out Kamara’s fit on the roster. A few days later, New Orleans Football’s Mike Triplett said he thinks the team would “go shopping” for an RB2 candidate if Kamara leaves the team via trade or release. If that’s the case, it suggests the Saints still see a talent gap between Kamara and his backups. Perhaps, ...

New Orleans Football’s Mike Triplett reports that WR Jordyn Tyson’s “participation was very limited” today at the team’s first organized team activities session open to media.

28 May 2026

The Saints have been conducting on-field, non-contract drills since April 20th. Organized team activities officially began yesterday, though media members were not allowed to attend. Tyson has already been given rest days, as the team puts together “a plan for him,” and per Triplett, Tyson’s limited participation was expected. The rookie wide receiver “was dressed in jersey and helmet and stood by for the entire practice.” We are not concerned about Tyson’s health at this time, but h ...

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (knee) said that he is working toward being cleared for full participation by the time training camp begins.

28 May 2026

Mahomes acknowledges that it is “unclear” whether he will actually be ready to fully participate once training camp begins. His recovery timeline includes checkpoints that occur every one-to-two weeks. The next step is running, cutting and proving to the training staff “that he can protect himself.” Mahomes’ rehab seems to be going very well. He seemingly has a chance to be ready for Week 1.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy is wearing a non-contact jersey at organized team activities.

28 May 2026

This is presumably related to the shoulder injury that head coach Andy Reid says limited Worthy throughout the 2025 season. Questions remain as to how large a workload Worthy, 23, can handle. But with TE Travis Kelce entering his age-36 season and No. 1 WR Rashee Rice dealing with more health and off-field issues, Worthy has the opportunity to carve out a sizable role right now.

The Athletic’s Mike DeFabo reports that Steelers OT Broderick Jones (neck) “is beginning to do a bit more” at organized team activities.

28 May 2026

Jones underwent surgery on his neck in March. The Steelers declined to exercise his fifth-year option early in May after spending the No. 21 overall pick on OT Max Iheanachor. Fellow Steelers OT Troy Fautanu also recently told reporters that the team wants him to move to left tackle. Jones was present at OTAs last week, but did not participate in team drills. It appears as though he will have to compete for a starting role this season. In today’s report, DeFabo shared a video of Jones doing sl ...
