ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Chiefs WR Rashee Rice is expected to be sidelined two months due to a clean-up surgery on his right knee.

19 May 2026

Rice’s off-the-field issues once again will coincide with a knee issue. Schefter reports Rice underwent a clean-up procedure to remove “loose debris” in his right knee one week prior to being ordered to serve 30 days in jail due to violating probation. The 26-year-old is expected to be sidelined two months due to the procedure. He will miss much of the Chiefs offseason program but would be ready to return for training camp, as long as legal issues do not keep him off the field. The Chiefs ...

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is expected to “be back soon” for the team’s voluntary organized team activities.

19 May 2026

Jackson has not always attended voluntary portions of the Ravens’ offseason program in years past, but did attend voluntary minicamp in April. The Ravens have been hoping to reach a new contract extension with the 29-year-old before the start of the season, though a deal is yet to emerge. New head coach Jesse Minter said, “we’ve had some great conversations; know when he’s going to be back.” Jackson seems to still be in good standing with the team and looks to be more involved with vol ...

Bears will host former Chiefs CB Nazeeh Johnson for a visit.

19 May 2026

Johnson recently met with the Giants and Eagles after being a steady special teams contributor for the Chiefs in 2022, 2024, and 2025. He played the 2025 season on a one-year contract.

KSHB’s Matt Foster reports Chiefs WR Rashee Rice violated his probation by testing positive for marijuana.

19 May 2026

Rice reportedly tested positive for marijuana, released in court documents dated Tuesday, 19 May. The court order states that the defendant (Rice) was placed in custody Tuesday and has been ordered to serve 30 days in jail, to end 16 June. That places Rice in line to miss organized team activities and mandatory mini-camp. The presence of a controlled substance in his system was a violation of the probation stemming from third degree felony charges levied last July in connection with highway raci ...

19 May 2026

Felton last played in the league in 2022 and announced he has accepted a player development role for the Browns. The 27-year-old last played for the Browns but was added to the Bengals’ practice squad in 2023, failing to appear for them during the regular season.

Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix are splitting first-team reps during Falcons OTAs.

19 May 2026

“It’s all very intentional,” Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters when asked about the team’s quarterback rotation in offseason practices. Penix, coming off knee surgery this offseason, is participating in individual drills and seven on seven drills for now. When he’s ready, Penix is expected to split first-team snaps with Tagovailoa, by far the more accurate of the two Atlanta QBs. Falcons president of football operations Matt Ryan said in early May that he was unsure if ...

De’Von Achane reported to Dolphins OTAs.

19 May 2026

After signing a four-year contract extension worth $68 million last week, Achane is practicing alongside his teammates under new Miami head coach Jeff Hafley. Hafley said “the feeling around the team was excitement, happiness for De’Von Achane after settling the business side of things this offseason with his contract extension,” according to the Sun Sentinel’s David Furones. One of the league’s most efficient running backs, Achane is set to be the centerpiece of the Dolphins offense i ...

Cam Skattebo (ankle) said he’ll be ready to play in Week 1.

19 May 2026

Skattebo during a Monday town hall event said he is still learning to trust his surgically repaired ankle and conceded he’s “a little ways out” from a full recovery from a horrific lower leg injury last October.

The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McLane reports the Eagles offense in 2026 “is expected to have Shanahan/McVay influences.”

19 May 2026

Under new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion, who will reportedly have “total authority” over the team’s offense, Jalen Hurts and the Eagles will have to learn an entirely new playbook predicated on the concepts that have made Kyle Shanahan’s 49ers and Sean McVay’s Rams two of the league’s most efficient offenses. This is very much in line with Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie pledging in April that the team would implement “significant offensive changes” after a 2025 campaign in which ...

Steelers signed No. 47 overall pick WR Germie Bernard to a four-year contract.

18 May 2026

Bernard’s signing comes on the Steelers’ first day of voluntary OTAs. The former Alabama prospect who was drafted 47th overall last month is hoping to make an early impact as a rookie despite joining a crowded receiver room that includes D.K. Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. as its top targets. Bernard totaled 64 receptions for 862 yards and seven touchdowns in his final season with the Crimson Tide while playing 62.2 percent of his snaps on the outside, per PFF. That said, Bernard also has a ...

Saints QB Tyler Shough said Jordyn Tyson is “an elite separator.”

18 May 2026

Shough also praised the young receiver for his separation, his hands, and his big-play ability. Shough and Tyson have had less than a month to get familiar with one another since the NFL Draft ended last month, but it sounds like the two are already building early chemistry that they hope will quickly translate to the field. Tyson caught 61 passes for 711 yards and eight touchdowns last season while at Arizona State, with injuries limiting him to just nine games. If he can stay healthy, Tyson ha ...

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Jacoby Brissett was not present for the start of the Cardinals’ voluntary OTAs.

18 May 2026


Steelers OT Troy Fautanu said the team wants him to move to left tackle.

18 May 2026

Fautanu said he was unsure if the move to left tackle would be permanent, but given the current situation with Broderick Jones and his neck injury, it wouldn’t be surprising if Fautanu played on the left side for most of the season. The team’s decision not to pick up Jones’ fifth-year option has also likely led to the decision to explore a new option at left tackle, and the selection of rookie Max Iheanachor in the first round of this year’s draft allows that flexibility. Fautanu has all ...

Steelers LT Broderick Jones (neck) was present at the team’s OTAs.

18 May 2026

Jones was in uniform and participated in warm-ups, but according to The Athletic’s Mike DeFabo, he did not take part in any team drills. Jones is still working his way back from a neck injury that required a fusion surgery in March. Jones recently suffered a setback in his recovery, which likely factored into the team’s decision to decline his fifth-year option, but his presence at OTAs, even in a limited capacity, is an encouraging sign.

Saints GM Mickey Loomis said the team is “trying to see” how Alvin Kamara will fit on the roster in 2026.

18 May 2026

Speaking with Luke Johnson of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, Loomis declined to commit to keeping Kamara on the roster for this upcoming season. Kamara, who will turn 31 in July, is expected to lose significant work to free agent signee Travis Etienne, and the Saints are reportedly interested in adjusting his $10.4 million cap number if they do opt to keep him. Kamara is in the final year of his deal and has missed 13 games over the last three years. He had one of his worst seasons as a pro in ...

ESPN’s Brooke Pryor reports Aaron Rodgers reported to the Steelers’ facilities for the first day of OTAs.

18 May 2026

After signing a one-year deal with the team over the weekend, Rodgers is officially back in Pittsburgh for the start of next season. The 42-year-old signal-caller was “one of the first guys in the building,” according to Pryor, and will be on the practice field for the first day of practice. Rodgers helped lead the Steelers to a 10-6 finish last season, providing adequate play at the position to keep the offense on schedule despite being more of a dink-and-dunk passer. We wouldn’t expect R ...

ESPN’s Mike Reiss reports Kayshon Boutte ‘has been working out away from the facility’ during the Patriots’ voluntary offseason program.

18 May 2026


The Seahawks will host the Patriots for the first game of the 2026 NFL season.

18 May 2026

It’s a Super Bowl rematch for the two teams, who will get the new league year started on Wednesday, September 9th on NBC, the preferred broadcasting network for football watchers. Sam Darnold and the Seahawks will look to get the season started on a strong note against the Patriots and Drake Maye, who looked wildly out-matched the last time these two teams met. It’s one of two games the Seahawks will play on NBC this season, as they will also take on the Chiefs in Week 7 on Sunday Night Foot ...

ESPN’s Adam Schefter said most NFL observers believe Kyler Murray will start for the Vikings in 2026.

18 May 2026

Schefter said on air Thursday night that Murray should be consider the odds-on favorite to start for Minnesota in Week 1 after signing a one-year deal worth more than $36 million. J.J. McCarthy, however, will get a shot to compete for the starting gig after his disastrous, injury-marred 2025 campaign. McCarthy, 23, entering his third NFL season, would have to stay healthy this summer to have a shot at taking the team’s QB1 spot, and he would need to improve in every facet of the game, includin ...

Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer reports Chargers assistant GM Chad Alexander declined the Vikings’ request to interview him for their general manager vacancy.

18 May 2026

According to Breer, Alexander is comfortable in his current position and “wanted to see the building of the 2026 team through.” Alexander has been with the Chargers since 2024 and previously served as the Jets’ director of player personnel (2019-2023). He’s risen through the ranks since first joining the Ravens in 1999 as a pro personal assistant, and could field more offers for future GM openings if the Chargers have a strong season in 2026.
