NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe reports that the Browns’ quarterback battle is “wide open” and that QB Shedeur Sanders is “impressing” coaches.

05 June 2026

Wolfe continues to beat the drum for Sanders, despite recent reports indicating QB Deshaun Watson was pulling ahead in the competition. Wolfe also believes that Sanders’ play is forcing head coach Todd Monken to postpone making a decision to name a starting quarterback. The battle may continue into training camp. Sanders has reportedly improved his downfield passing and processing, and has an “aura” about him that some in the building find compelling. Wolfe closes the segment by wondering ...

Seahawks WR Cooper Kupp said he never considered retiring after his team’s Super Bowl LX win over the Patriots.

05 June 2026

Kupp operated as the Seahawks’ WR2 last season, though The Athletic’s Mike Dugar reported in March that WR Rashid Shaheed’s new deal “suggests a demotion” could be on the way for Kupp. Regardless, Kupp loves “playing this game too much” to slow down now. If Kupp can retain his WR2 role on the Seahawks, he will likely only be a matchup-based FLEX option.

NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe reports that the Patriots do not expect WR A.J. Brown (knees) to be limited this season.

05 June 2026

Brown has talked openly about the maintenance his knees have required since he entered the league in 2019. Despite receiving treatment regularly, Brown has been a 1,000-yard receiver in six of his seven NFL seasons. We expect him to continue playing at a high level, but he could fall into the WR1/2 range this summer. Regardless, he is the Patriots’ clear-cut WR1.

Seahawks TE AJ Barner said he underwent two surgeries after the 2025 season, but he will “be ready to go” for training camp.

05 June 2026

Barner was listed with calf, elbow and hip injuries last season. We don’t know which ailments required surgery. Barner said he is “definitely feeling better,” but he still has a few hurdles to clear before he can back out there. Barner finished as the PPR TE14 last season, operating as a big-bodied target for QB Sam Darnold and as the Seahawks’ tush push specialist in short-yardage situations.

ESPN’s Jane Slater reports that Cowboys WR George Pickens “will be in attendance” at mandatory minicamp.

04 June 2026

The Cowboys’ mandatory minicamp is scheduled for June 16-18. Pickens is not present for the Cowboys’ voluntary organized team activities, but head coach Brian Schottenheimer said Pickens is “in a good spot and handling his business” after speaking with the wide receiver yesterday. Pickens signed his franchise tag late in April and is set to make $27.3 million this season. Trade speculation has not amounted to anything thus far, and it sounds like Pickens will show up when he is supposed ...

Sports Illustrated’s John Shipley reports that Jaguars TE Tanner Koziol was “the most impressive backup tight end” on Monday, with TE Nate Boerkircher (undisclosed) sidelined.

04 June 2026

Boerkircher sat out on Monday, but we do not yet know why. Koziol looks “smooth in space” and took the advantage of his opportunities. His stand out showings as a pass-catcher have “helped him make some real progress at the start of OTAs.” Kozial was a bit of a dynasty darling in this season’s rookie draft cycle. We do not expect him to be relevant in re-draft this season, but these reports are encouraging for his long-term outlook.

Sports Illustrated’s John Shipley reports that Jaguars WR CJ Williams “has already become a favorite target for most of the backup quarterbacks.”

04 June 2026

Good for him. Do we expect Williams to contribute meaningfully in re-draft formats this year? No. But, the No. 203 overall pick in this year’s draft seemingly has strong odds of securing a spot on the final roster. Williams is a name to know for dynasty, and currently profiles as the Jaguars’ WR5 for 2026.

Jaguars RB Chris Rodriguez (undisclosed) remains absent at organized team activities.

04 June 2026

Rodriguez has now been out for more than a week. When asked for comment previously, coach Liam Coen simply said, “the injury report will come out at some point here.” The team is headed for a short break before mandatory minicamp begins next week, which run from June 9-11. Since OTAs are voluntary, allowing Rodriguez to rehab makes sense. Hopefully, he returns next week. Until then, RB Bhayshul Tuten gets to operate as the clear-cut top back.

Dolphins OC Bobby Slowik said QB Quinn Ewers has taken “the next step” during the team’s mandatory minicamp.

04 June 2026

Slowik is a big fan of his QB2. He told us so in February, and apparently Ewers’ play continues to draw Slowik’s favor. Slowik complimented Ewers’ newfound conviction, adding that when he just “reacts” to how the play is unfolding in front of him, “he does some really cool stuff.” That said, we fully expect QB Malik Willis to be the Dolphins’ starter in Week 1. Consider Ewers a worthwhile stash in dynasty formats, just in case.

Lions CB Terrion Arnold (shoulder) was limited in his return at organized team activities on Thursday.

04 June 2026

Arnold had a rough time in 2025. He injured his shoulder in Week 5 and sat out in Weeks 6-8. He returned for Weeks 9-10, but then suffered a concussion. He cleared the NFL’s concussion protocol in Week 13, but managed to aggravate his shoulder injury in-game and was shut down for the rest of the year. He participated in walkthroughs for 30 minutes today, marking his first official practice participation this offseason. His reps are still being managed but this is a good first step.

Lions TE Sam LaPorta (back) participated in walkthroughs at organized team activities on Thursday.

04 June 2026

This is great news. LaPorta was active for “about 30 minutes of walkthroughs to begin practice.” LaPorta is not yet ready to participate in positional drills and team drills, but this is still an important first step. Earlier today, Lions head coach Dan Campbell told reporters that the team is going to ask a lot of LaPorta this season. Hopefully, LaPorta is ready to go by the time training camp rolls around in July.

Chargers signed No. 22 overall pick EDGE Akheem Mesidor to a four-year contract.

04 June 2026

Mesidor’s $20.456 million contract is fully guaranteed. Mesidor, 25, racked up 17.5 TFLs, 12.5 sacks and four forced fumbles last season. He can contribute both as a pass rusher and as a run defender. Mesidor should compete for a starting role right away, opposite EDGE Khalil Mack, in a pass-rush unit that totaled 49 sacks in the 2025 regular season.

Lions OC Drew Petzing said LT Penei Sewell has had a “seamless” transition, moving from right tackle to left tackle.

04 June 2026

Sewell logged more than 500 offensive snaps at left tackle and right tackle in his 2021 rookie season, earning a spot on the PFWA All-Rookie Team along the way. The Lions then put him at the right tackle spot in 2022 and he has remained there over the past four years, earning four Pro Bowl nods and three first-team All-Pro spots. His quick transition to the left side is not surprising.

The Philly Voice’s Geoff Mosher believes Eagles RB Tank Bigsby “could see an increase in snaps” this season.

04 June 2026

Mosher notes that Bigsby’s one-cut running style is a great fit for new OC Sean Mannion’s scheme, saying “there’s no question he excels at planting one foot in the ground to getting downhill quickly.” He believes Mannion would be “smart” to get Bigsby involved in short-yardage situations to give starting RB Saquon Barkley’s body some rest. We see the logic here, although adding another short-yardage ball carrier to the rotation could muddy up fantasy projections a tad. Regardless ...

Cardinals waived K Joshua Karty.

04 June 2026

Karty produced a 67 percent field goal conversion rate and an 88 percent extra point conversion rate with the Cardinals last year. He was slated to compete with K Chad Ryland this offseason. It appears as though Ryland is the victor.

Cardinals signed S Isaiah Oliver, formerly of the Jets.

04 June 2026

Oliver suffered a torn ACL in December, so his status is somewhat uncertain here. Oliver, 29, totaled 55 tackles and three pass breakups on defense last season. He recorded four tackles on special teams.

ESPN’s Todd Archer reports that Cowboys CB DaRon Bland (foot) is expected to be ready for training camp.

04 June 2026

Back in January, Bland said he expected to be ready for organized team activities. Unfortunately, that has not been the case. That said, Archer thought Bland was “moving very well laterally,” and expect the Cowboys to “be patient with how they bring him along.” Bland was injured in Week 15 last year. He tallied five pass breakups, one interception, 54 tackles and two quarterback pressures.

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram’s Nick Harris reports that Cowboys CB Shavon Revel (knee) is no longer wearing a brace on his left leg.

04 June 2026

Per Harris, Revel looks “more fluid in his movement” and “has gained a lot of confidence this offseason now that he’s returning to 100-percent.” The Cowboys drafted Revel in the third round last year, while he was recovering from a torn ACL. Unfortunately, Revel suffered a setback in July and was placed on the non-football injury list to begin the year. He was activated in November and played in Weeks 11-17, breaking up two passes and recording 26 tackles. Revel will likely compete for ...

Dolphins signed No. 27 overall pick CB Chris Johnson to a four-year contract.

04 June 2026

ESPN’s Adam Schefter did not include Johnson’s contract details while breaking the news. Johnson should start right away. The Dolphins fielded a fairly beatable secondary last season. New, defensive-minded head coach Jeff Hafley made Johnson his very first draft pick, which likely gives Johnson the inside track to a role on the perimeter.

Texans WR Tank Dell (knee) participated in team drills at organized team activities on Thursday.

04 June 2026

Although these are non-contract drills, this is still great to see. As of late May, Dell was still working off to the side of practice with trainers. The Texans will go on a short break after today, before returning for mandatory minicamp, which is scheduled for June 9-11. Hopefully, Dell either maintains or increases his participation next week.
