  • Rashee Rice WR | KC

    Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Not facing league discipline

    The NFL announced Friday that Rice (concussion) "has not engaged in conduct that violates the personal conduct policy," and the wide receiver won't face discipline as a result, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Rice's 2025 campaign ended after Week 15 due to a concussion, capping him to a 53-571-5 line on 78 targets in eight regular-season appearances. In the meantime, allegations from his former girlfriend arose on Jan. 7, which was another in a series of off-the-field issues for the three-year pro, according to Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com. After looking into the matter, the league won't levy any sort of punishment on Rice, citing "insufficient evidence," per NFL PR rep Brian McCarthy. Due to his production through three seasons, Rice is poised to be the Chiefs' No. 1 WR in 2026, but his rookie contract is up afterward, and how the team proceeds in this year's draft could be telling for his future in Kansas City for 2027 and beyond.

  • Tank Dell WR | HOU

    Texans' Tank Dell: Status for OTAs uncertain

    Coach DeMeco Ryans acknowledged Tuesday that he's uncertain whether Dell (knee) will be available for the Texans' upcoming offseason activities, but he added that he expects the wide receiver will be "back for (the team) at some point this year," Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Dell hasn't played since tearing most of the ligaments in his left knee while also dislocating his kneecap in a Dec. 21, 2024 game against the Chiefs. While Ryans is hopeful that Dell will be able to contribute at some point this coming season, he doesn't plan to rush the 2023 third-rounder back. "I told Tank, it's not a matter of getting back to OTAs just to get back," Ryans said. "It's just a matter of getting back, being in a really good spot physically so you can stay there. It's not about how quickly he returns, it's just about Tank returning." Once Dell is able to return to the field, he'll join a Houston WR corps that's led by Nico Collins and also includes Jayden Higgins, Xavier Hutchinson, Jaylin Noel and Justin Watson. Prior to his injury, the 26-year-old had compiled a 98-1,376-10 line on 156 targets over the course of 25 regular-season contests.

  • Titans' Lance McCutcheon: Signs with Tennessee

    The Titans signed McCutcheon on Wednesday.

    The 27-year-old wide receiver hasn't appeared in a regular-season game since making 10 appearances with the Rams in 2022. McCutcheon spent the 2025 campaign with the Steelers and Titans' practice squads.

  • Puka Nacua WR | LAR

    Rams' Puka Nacua: Checks into rehab facility

    Nacua's attorney confirmed this week that the star wide receiver has checked into a rehab facility in Malibu, California, Edward Lewis of the California Post reports.

    Nacua has been in the news for the wrong reasons since the Rams' season came to an end in the NFC Championship Game against the Seahawks back in January. He was accused of biting a woman during a Dec. 31 night out in Los Angeles after consuming alcohol. The woman then pressed charges against Nacua, who has since checked into a recovery center. "He is committed to using this time constructively so that he can return in the best possible position -- both personally and professionally -- to continue contributing to his team and the game he loves," Nacua's lawyer, Levi McCathern, said via Steve Wyche of NFL Network. "He will complete the program in time to fully participate in all of the Rams' OTAs. Puka is also deeply grateful for the support he has received from his family, friends, coach [Sean] McVay and teammates."

  • K.J. Osborn WR | TEN

    Titans' K.J. Osborn: Joining Titans WR corps

    The Titans are slated to sign Osborn to a one-year deal, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Osborn didn't see any regular-season action in 2025, but the 28-year-old did combine for 158 catches during a three-year span (2021 through 2023) while he was with the Vikings. In Tennessee, Osborn will provide depth to a wide receiver corps that currently features Calvin Ridley, Wan'Dale Robinson, Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike.

  • Malik Nabers WR | NYG

    Giants' Malik Nabers: GM hopeful for Week 1 availability

    Giants general manager Joe Schoen said Monday that he is "hopeful" Nabers (knee) will be ready to play by Week 1 of the upcoming campaign, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

    Nabers played in only four games last season, as he tore the ACL in his right knee Week 4 against the Chargers and ended the campaign on IR. Schoen said Monday that he is optimistic about the star wideout being ready to play from the get-go in the coming season, though the GM also expressed the need to be cautious. "Like I always say, we'll see," Schoen said. "As long as there's not a setback or whatever it may be, optimistic Week 1, he'll be ready. But again, you just never tell with these things and how they're going to react or if there's any setbacks. But he's in a good spot right now mentally and physically." Fantasy managers who have their sights set on Nabers will certainly look for further updates to emerge ahead of draft day.

  • Travis Hunter WR | JAC

    Jaguars' Travis Hunter: 'Ahead' of schedule in recovery

    Coach Liam Coen said Monday at the NFL's Annual Meeting that Hunter (knee) is "very well ahead" of schedule in his recovery from surgery to address a torn LCL in his right knee, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports. Coen added that he "cannot say for certain" whether or not Hunter will take part in the offseason program in May and June.

    Hunter sustained the injury during an Oct. 30 practice and spent the rest of his rookie campaign on injured reserve, undergoing the aforementioned procedure on Nov. 11. GM James Gladstone noted after the campaign that Hunter will remain a two-way player in 2026 but likely will focus more on cornerback instead of wide receiver. As a first-year pro, Hunter logged 67 percent of the team's snaps on offense versus just 36 percent on defense through Week 8, hauling in 28 of 45 targets for 298 yards and one touchdown to go with 15 tackles and three pass defenses in seven contests. The Jaguars boast more high-end WR talent (Brian Thomas, Jakobi Meyers and Parker Washington) than at CB, so having Hunter focus more on defense in his second season likely will pay dividends on the team's operation as a whole. Having said that, when Hunter will be back on the practice field remains to be seen.

  • Jordan Addison WR | MIN

    Vikings' Jordan Addison: Fifth year option to be exercised

    Executive Vice President of Football Operations Rob Brzezinski noted Monday that the Vikings plan to exercise the fifth-year option on Addison's rookie contract.

    Once they do so, Addison -- who was the 23rd overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft -- would remain under contract with the Vikings through the 2027 season. In 14 regular-season games in 2025, the 24-year-old compiled a 42-610-3 line on 79 targets while working alongside top WR Justin Jefferson. QB consistency was an issue that impacted the duo's production last year, but the signing of Kyler Murray (formerly of the Cardinals) earlier this month could lead to an uptick in Addison's 2026 upside, should Murray earn the starting job over J.J. McCarthy, and in the process engineer a bounce-back effort following his change of scenery.

  • George Pickens WR | DAL

    Cowboys' George Pickens: May not attend voluntary OTAs

    Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer said Monday that he has spoken with Pickens but is unsure whether the franchise-tagged wide receiver will attend voluntary team workouts this spring, Tommy Yarrish of the team's official site reports.

    Pickens currently is slated to play out the 2026 campaign on the one-year, fully-guaranteed $27.29 million franchise tag, though he and Dallas still have until mid-July to negotiate a potential long-term deal. The 25-year-old has not yet officially signed his franchise tag, however. Schottenheimer said, "We have plans for [Pickens] to be here for a long time, so we'll let the business side of this thing play out," and the coach confirmed that he hasn't sought any assurances that Pickens will attend any voluntary team activities. Cowboys COO Stephen Jones echoed Schottenheimer's statements, noting that "everybody would like to have a long-term deal" but "[w]e're just not gonna comment as we move forward on negotiations."

  • Tory Horton WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Tory Horton: Expected to be ready for camp

    Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that Horton (shin/groin) is expected to be ready for the start of training camp, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

    Horton won't be 100 percent healthy for spring activates due to his rehab from offseason surgery undergone to address the lower-body injuries that prevented him from suiting up after Week 9 of last season, but the 2025 fifth-round pick should be back on the field by late July. Across eight appearances as a rookie, Horton secured 13 of 23 targets for 161 yards and five touchdowns.
