Chiefs signed Patrick Mahomes to a two-year contract extension.

10 June 2026

Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Mahomes is set to make $504.7 million between now and the 2033 season. Mahomes initially signed his record-setting, 10-year extension in 2020. It was worth $450 million at the time. Quarterback salaries have since skyrocketed, making Mahomes’ contract one of the most team-friendly deals for a high-end quarterback in the NFL. On a per-year basis, Mahomes was just the 13th-highest paid quarterback before this extension. He’s now making $64 million per year, a new hi ...

Tetairoa McMillan (foot soreness) said he hopes to be ready for training camp.

10 June 2026

McMillan has been in and out of practice during OTAs. He told reporters that he feels good now, though that was after missing today’s practice. McMillan played through a foot injury late in the 2025 season. It didn’t cost him any time, but it’s still slightly concerning that the issue hasn’t gone away entirely. As long as McMillan is able to suit up for the start of training camp, fantasy managers should still consider the reigning Offensive Rookie of the Year as a high-end WR2.

Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur said Kaleb Proctor suffered a torn meniscus in OTAs and could miss the 2026 season.

10 June 2026

LaFleur said Proctor will miss “quite a bit of time” and eventually added, “if not the whole year.” It sounds like the fourth-round rookie will likely need season-ending surgery. Proctor was a standout performer at the 2026 NFL Combine after notching nine sacks at Southeastern Louisiana in his final season of college ball. Though he was likely slated for a part-time role in his first pro season, it’s still a blow to an Arizona defense that ranked 29th in points allowed last year.

Braelon Allen said he is up to 250 pounds and is the biggest, strongest, and fastest he has ever been.

10 June 2026

Despite adding 15 pounds since entering the NFL, Allen said this is the lowest his body fat percentage has ever been. Allen missed most of the 2025 season with a knee injury that eventually required surgery. At this point, it sounds like his recovery is complete. Head coach Aaron Glenn talked up his potential in the passing game, though he said that he views Breece Hall, Allen, and Isaiah Davis as a “three-headed monster.” Allen could have some minor stand-alone value as a short-yardage back ...

Tucker Kraft (knee) said he expects to play in Week 1 with “no pitch count.”

10 June 2026

Kraft did note that he will likely begin training camp on the PUP list. He specifically mentioned that he could use that time to get his conditioning ready ahead of Week 1. Kraft is still recovering from the torn ACL he suffered in Week 9 of last year, but all signs point to him being on or ahead of schedule. On a points-per-game basis, he exited 2025 as the TE4. He may not open the year at quite that level, but fantasy managers should bank on him being an every-week starter sooner rather than l ...

Colston Loveland said a review of his rookie season film showed he needed to improve in “dang near everything.”

10 June 2026

“It’s watching the tape and knowing, like, it was good for a rookie,” Loveland said Tuesday, “but it’s not going to be good enough for a second-year or third-year guy. Knowing that, it’s, ‘All right, flush that. Clean up on the tape and (dial in on) certain things I need to get better at — which is dang near everything.” Colston was dominant late in the season, functioning as Caleb Williams’ top target in January, into the postseason, where he exploded for eight receptions, 1 ...

Sports Illustrated’s John Shipley believes Brenton Strange will be a “key piece of everything the Jaguars do on offense” in 2026.

10 June 2026

Shipley said the Jaguars drafting Texas A&M TE Nate Boerkircher and Houston TE Tanner Koziol in the 2026 draft does not mean the Jaguars coaching staff has a smaller role planned for Strange, who last season 46 catches, 540 yards, and three touchdowns as the team’s TE1. Shipley expected Strange’s pass game involvement to grow as the Jaguars deploy more tight end-heavy offensive sets. The Jaguars, Shipley said, are “clearly hoping that injecting the [tight end] room with talent should a ...

Alec Pierce (ankle) said he could return “late” in Colts training camp.

10 June 2026

Pierce is facing a 4-6 month recovery period after undergoing ankle surgery in late April. His Week 1 status is very much up in the air. Just before announcing his ankle injury, Pierce signed a four-year, $116 million contract with the Colts, who expect Pierce to be the team’s top wideout after Michael Pittman left for the Steelers. It could be a slow start to the regular season for Pierce, strictly a downfield pass catcher. Eventually he should be Daniel Jones’ No. 1 target in the balanced ...

The Athletic’s Nicki Jhabvala reports Terry McLaurin will have a more varied route tree in 2026.

10 June 2026

Unlike in recent seasons, McLaurin won’t line up strictly on the left boundary in Washington OC David Blough’s system, Jhabvala said. “I think the multitude of formations and route combinations is going to give all of us flexibility to move around the formation, keep the defense on their toes and have a lot of routes that may look similar at the stem but different at the top,” McLaurin said. “Just having those types of variations in your route tree is just an unbelievable weapon to hav ...

The Athletic’s Nicki Jhabvala reports Chig Okonkwo has impressed coaches in offseason practices with his speed and versatility.

10 June 2026

Okonkwo, who in March signed a three-year deal worth up to $30 million, has been an offensive highlight for Washington under first-year OC David Blough. “He has rare speed and versatility, and his knack for collecting yards after the catch only adds to his appeal,” Jhabvala said, adding that the Commanders could “use a heavy dose of multiple tight end sets” under Blough this season. While last year in Tennessee was a down season for Okonkwo — he ranked 30th among tight ends in yards pe ...

The Athletic’s Zach Berman reports Eagles LT Lane Johnson (foot) “feels healthy” during offseason practices.

10 June 2026

Johnson is returning for a 14th NFL season after struggling with a lingering foot issue in 2025, one that cost him seven regular season games. Philadelphia’s offense — especially their run game — fell apart with Johnson sidelined. The Eagles finished the season 13th in EPA per rush after leading the NFL in that metric in 2024. PFF graded the Eagles offensive line as last year’s 12th best run blocking unit. Berman said Johnson has always wanted to play in the kind of Shanahan-style offens ...

Sports Illustrated’s John Shipley reports that Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten “continues to look like one of the most explosive elements of the entire offense.”

10 June 2026

The Jaguars hosted the first of three mandatory minicamp practices on Tuesday, and Tuten “left the defense firmly in his dust on several big runs.” Shipley notes that these are pad-less practices and tackling is not allowed, “but Tuten would not have even given them the chance” anyway. Everything changes once the pads go on, so we can only get so excited about Shipley’s consistently positive reporting on Tuten. That said, Tuten is still turning in showings worthy of consistently positi ...

Sports Illustrated’s John Shipley believes Jaguars WR Josh Cameron “has the size and traits to work his way into the outside receiver rotation sooner rather than later.”

10 June 2026

Cameron injured his ankle during the draft process, so he only recently began practicing with his new teammates. He participated in special teams drills last week and made his offense debut today, on Tuesday, at mandatory minicamp. Per Shipley, Cameron arguably had the best day of any receiver. The Jaguars’ wide receiver corps is very deep, so it is tough to see how Cameron could become a meaningful contributor in year one. He is probably worth adding in dynasty formats, though. Keep an eye on ...

Raiders team reporter Levi Edwards believes QB Fernando Mendoza’s footwork and mechanics have noticeably improved since rookie minicamp.

10 June 2026

Raiders coaches have asked Mendoza to learn the intricacies of taking snaps from under center, which is something he rarely did in college. After practice today, Raiders assistant head coach Mike McCoy said Mendoza “has done a phenomenal job playing under center.” Mendoza feels like he is “leaps and bounds” ahead of where he was just a few months ago, but is still working on timing up his footwork “a little better with the routes.” The sooner he masters the little things, the sooner ...

The Houston Chronicle’s Jonathan M. Alexander reports that Texans WR Jaylin Noel “consistently made plays” at the team’s first mandatory minicamp practice.

10 June 2026

Alexander notes that Noel was primarily used in the return game last season, but “figures to be a factor this year as Houston looks for more production from its receivers outside of Nico Collins.” It remains to be seen how big of a factor he can be, though. Alexander believes the Texans are going to increase their two-tight end-set use this season, which shrinks the number of routes available to the wide receiver position. Texans WR Jayden Higgins has had a good offseason, and could be in li ...

The Houston Chronicle’s Jonathan M. Alexander believes the Texans “will likely utilize a lot more 12 personnel packages in 2026 than they did last season.”

10 June 2026

Injuries thinned the Texans’ tight end depth last season. This offseason, the front office signed TE Foster Moreau and drafted TE Marlin Klein, who is currently sidelined by a hamstring injury. Starting TE Dalton Schultz should continue to play a lot of snaps, though he is likely just a high-end TE2. Increasing 12 personnel sets decreases the number of snaps available to the wide receiver position, which could be a problem if the coaching staff decides to employ a rotation at the WR2 spot.

Browns signed No. 24 overall pick WR KC Concepcion to a four-year contract.

10 June 2026

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport adds that Concepcion’s fully guaranteed rookie contract is worth roughly $20 million. Earlier today, we got word that Concepcion and fellow rookie WR Denzel Boston are already taking full rotations with both the No. 1 and No. 2 offensive groups, which is good news. Browns WR Jerry Jeudy currently occupies the No. 1 spot, but that could change if one of the two rookies pens a strong case this summer.

The Houston Chronicle’s Jonathan M. Alexander reports that Texans WR Tank Dell (knee) is expected to be back in time for training camp.

10 June 2026

Dell sat out at practice on Tuesday, the first of three mandatory minicamp practices. He participated in non-contact team drills last week, though. Dell’s training camp participation and preseason usage should help us dial in his projections regarding his role for 2026. At this time, he offers a very low floor and his spot on the depth chart is a bit murky.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that the Chiefs and OT Wanya Morris have agreed to explore trade options.

10 June 2026

Per Fowler, Morris “would like the chance to play more and Kansas City has tackle depth.” Morris has 16 starts in three seasons and suffered a season-ending knee injury in December. An update on his rehab program was not provided. Morris earned a 57.1 PFF offense grade on 68 snaps last season.

Colts coach Shane Steichen said WR Alec Pierce (ankle) could end up returning “a couple weeks” into training camp.

10 June 2026

On April 20th, Colts general manager Chris Ballard said Pierce was looking at a three-month recovery after undergoing surgery on his ankle. The Colts’ exact training camp start and end dates have not yet been announced, but last year, it ran from July 23rd to August 14th. Returning partway through camp would technically put him a little bit behind schedule. Pierce signed a four-year, $114 million contract, so we know the team certainly hopes to increase his involvement this season. However, wh ...
