Arnold (shoulder) was arrested Wednesday and is facing multiple felony counts of robbery and kidnapping, the Hillsborough County (Fla.) State Attorney's Office announced.

The announcement also noted that Arnold's charges carry a potential sentence of up to life in prison after the cornerback was allegedly the primary conspirator of an elaborate armed robbery and kidnapping plot that happened earlier in the offseason. The 23-year-old was the No. 24 overall pick in the 2024 Draft and has started 22 regular-season games across his first two seasons. He missed the final five games last season with a shoulder injury that required surgery.

Bullock (undisclosed) missed minicamp earlier this month and is recovering from surgery, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.

The nature of Bullock's surgery isn't clear, but coach Jesse Minter indicated that the second-year lineman is expected to be ready for training camp, according to Wacker. Bullock appeared in 16 regular-season games last season but logged just 13 offensive snaps. He's likely to be in the mix to start at center this season, but that's a competition that will be hashed out during training camp and the preseason.

Harrison (knee) participated in the Falcons' offseason program, Daniel Flick of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Harrison was well on his way to a career year in 2025, as he recorded a career-high 4.5 sacks through the first seven games, but he suffered a knee injury in Week 7 against the 49ers and missed the remainder of the 2025 campaign. Now healthy, the Falcons are relying on Harrison to help key the pass rush alongside second-year edge defenders Jalon Walker and James Pearce.

Williams appears poised to make a leap in his second season with coach Ben Johnson in 2026, Alyssa Barbieri of Bears Wire reports.

Williams was a standout during the offseason program after he took multiple steps forward under Johnson's tutelage last season. While his completion percentage dipped from 62.5 percent as a rookie to 58.1 percent in 2025, Williams' touchdowns (27), touchdown rate (4.8 percent), adjusted yards per attempt (7.3) and yards per completion (11.9) all saw significant boosts. He was also sacked just 24 times after absorbing a league-high 68 sacks as a 2024 rookie. Williams certainly has MVP aspirations headed into his third pro season at just 24 years old.

Coach John Harbaugh said recently that Dart is "adjusting really well" to the new offense, Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic reports.

With Brian Daboll and his staff out the door, Dart has a whole new coaching staff to work with in his second season, from offensive coordinator Matt Nagy to senior offensive assistant Greg Roman to passing game coordinator and QBs coach Brian Callahan. Harbaugh and Roman come from a Ravens team that leaned heavily on the run game, while Nagy and Callahan previously worked with Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow in Kansas City and Cincinnati respectively. It's still unclear what this offense is going to look like from a pass-to-run ratio standpoint, but Dart will need to do a better job of protecting himself and staying on the field after he missed two games and parts of a couple others to injuries last season.

An emphasis for Lawrence this offseason has been building chemistry with his wide receivers on downfield throws, Casandra Chesser of Jaguars Wire reports.

Chesser named Brian Thomas in particular as someone Lawrence is working to fortify his bond with in the deep passing game. Lawrence attempted the sixth-most passes of 20-plus air yards last season (590), but he completed just 36.1 percent of such throws, checking in at 25th among qualified quarterbacks. If he can take his deep passing game to another level, the Jacksonville offense would be even more lethal after the unit went nuclear down the stretch last regular season. From Weeks 9 to 18, the Jaguars averaged 32.8 points per game across 10 contests, and Lawrence had a sparkling 18:4 TD:INT mark across the final seven regular-season games. He has a chance to be in the MVP mix again in 2026 in his second season under coach Liam Coen.

Goedert's role could expand in 2026 after the Eagles traded A.J. Brown to New England, Glenn Erby of USA Today reports.

Goedert re-signed with Philadelphia via a one-year, $7 million deal this offseason and is coming off a productive 2025 campaign in which he drew 82 targets across 15 regular-season games. The veteran tight end finished with 591 receiving yards and a career-high 11 touchdowns, emerging as one of the team's top red-zone threats. Alongside DeVonta Smith and rookie first-round pick Makai Lemon (undisclosed), Goedert projects as one of the primary beneficiaries of Brown's departure. Dontayvion Wicks, Hollywood Brown and Elijah Moore are also expected to compete for a larger share of the passing game.

Ahead of training camp, Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson remain atop the Patriots' RB depth chart, as they did last season, Avery Hill of the Boston Globe reports.

Stevenson and Henderson are thus on track to continue to share the bulk of New England's rushing load in 2026. In 14 regular-season contests in 2025, Stevenson gained 603 yards and seven TDs on 130 carries, while adding 32 catches for 345 yards and a pair of receiving scores. For his part, Henderson recorded 180 carries for 911 yards and nine TDs to go along with 35 catches for 221 yards and another score in 17 games. Though any sort of backfield time-share can complicate things from a fantasy perspective, both backs should still see enough work to generate fantasy utility while working in an offense helmed by rising young QB Drake Maye. That said, one thing that could tilt things Henderson's way is a re-occurrence of the ball-security issues Stevenson endured during the 2024 campaign, when he racked up a total of seven fumbles (three lost).

Strange agreed to terms Wednesday on a three-year extension with the Jaguars, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Strange's new contract with Jacksonville is reportedly worth up to $48 million, with $25 million guaranteed. The 26-year-old tight end is not only a capable pass catcher, but he's established himself as one of the league's best blocking TEs since joining the Jaguars in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft. Strange has spent spring practices lining up in multiple roles and seemingly building up for an expanded role in head coach Liam Coen's offense, which added a pair of rookie tight ends in the 2026 NFL Draft in Nate Boerkircher (second round) and Tanner Koziol (fifth round).

Olave (illness) said he hopes to finalize a contract extension with the Saints before training camp, Katherine Terrell of ESPN reports.

Olave indicated that reaching an agreement before camp would help avoid any distractions and "not affect team chemistry." The standout wide receiver has been limited during offseason work while recovering from January treatment for a blood clot, but head coach Kellen Moore has repeatedly expressed confidence in his recovery. Per Albert Breer of SI.com, Olave has recently been cleared, meaning he should be fully ready for the start of training camp. Olave remains the No. 1 target for second-year quarterback Tyler Shough and will be joined by rookie first-rounder Jordyn Tyson (undisclosed) during the 2026 campaign.
