Cardinals CB Sean Murphy-Bunting recently revealed he missed all of the 2025 season due to a torn ACL.

05 June 2026

Murphy-Bunting was placed on the reserve/non-football injury list in May 2025, and we never received any further detail on the matter. Now, the 28-year-old corner has revealed that he suffered a torn ACL in March of last year and also dealt with “some MCL damage.” Murphy-Bunting has spent most of his career playing on the outside, but said in an article by Zach Gershman that he expects to spend a lot of time in the nickel spot this year with Garrett Williams (Achilles) expected to miss some ...

The Athletic’s Nick Kosmider reports Broncos LB Jonathon Cooper was arrested on Thursday on charges of criminal mischief with a domestic violence enhancer.

05 June 2026

Cooper was arrested on Thursday night and booked into a Douglas County jail on Friday. Few details are known about his arrest outside of the charges, but the veteran pass-rusher is reportedly scheduled to go before a judge on Friday with another hearing scheduled for Monday, per an article put out by TMZ. Cooper totaled eight sacks for the Broncos last season and is in the second year of a four-year extension he signed in 2024.

The Bears announced that they have voted to advance stadium development plans in Hammond, Indiana.

Sports Illustrated’s Will Ragatz said Kyler Murray’s impressive throws in OTAs “make it hard to imagine” J.J. McCarthy winning the Vikings’ QB competition.

Baker Mayfield said he is “not anywhere close” to agreeing to a new contract with the Buccaneers.

05 June 2026

Mayfield is in the final year of the three-year, $100 million extension he signed with the Buccaneers in 2024 and is seeking another long-term deal to remain with the team. Speaking on Friday, Mayfield said that while negotiations are currently ongoing, that he will stop those talks once training camp starts up, putting somewhat of a deadline on when a new deal could be reached. The 31-year-old signal-caller is entering his first season without Mike Evans, and is coming off a year in which he th ...

Bears signed No. 25 overall pick S Dillon Thieneman to a four-year contract.

05 June 2026

The Bears took Thieneman 25th overall in this year’s draft in hopes of bolstering a secondary that allowed the fifth-most passing touchdowns and fifth-highest NY/A last season. The former Oregon Duck tallied eight interceptions in 39 games during his college career and was one of the most athletic players at his position (9.71 RAS) in the draft. He should slot in as an immediate starter for the Bears this season.

The Athletic’s Zack Rosenblatt believes the Jets are hoping to make Adonai Mitchell “a crucial piece of their offense” this season.

05 June 2026

This comes almost a month after Rosenblatt said he believed Mitchell felt “pretty locked into the No. 2 receiver role.” The 23-year-old receiver spent part of last season with the Jets after being traded from the Colts at last year’s deadline. Mitchell saw 58 targets come his way in eight games with the Jets last season and posted a 24-301-2 line while going for 50-plus yards in two of those games. The upgrade from Brady Cook to Geno Smith should work wonders for Mitchell as far as target ...

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.
