NFL Player News

The Titans signed Davis-Price to a two-year contract Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The 24-year-old running back was the 93rd overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft by the 49ers but carried the ball just 40 times for 120 scoreless yards (3.0 YPC) in seven regular-season games across two seasons with the team. He appeared in one regular-season contest with the Eagles last year, rushing three times for seven yards. Davis-Price will try to win a job behind Tony Pollard, Tyjae Spears and Julius Chestnut in Tennessee.

Benson (ankle) has been participating in the Cardinals' voluntary OTAs, per the team's official site.

Benson missed the last three games of his rookie season due to an ankle injury that required him being placed on IR, but Arizona's offseason photo release now shows him participating in Phase 3 of OTAs. Across 13 regular-season appearances as a rookie, the 2024 third-round pick rushed 63 times for 291 yards (4.6 YPC) and one score. He was active Week 5 but took no snaps behind workhorse James Conner. Benson is slotted for a backup role behind Conner entering Year 2 but remains a high-upside developmental option, in the event that the 30-year-old veteran starter atop the depth chart shows signs of regression coming off a career-high 283 touches. Admittedly, though, Conner is a three-down player and impressed with 1,508 yards from scrimmage while remaining healthy for a career-best 16 regular-season games in 2024, and if he reprises a similar performance in 2025 few opportunities will be left over for Benson.

Wilson (hamstring) is participating in Arizona's voluntary OTAs without any apparent restrictions, per the Cardinals' official site.

Wilson missed Arizona's season finale in 2024 due to a hamstring injury, but he suited up for the team's other 16 regular-season games and secured 47 of 71 targets for 548 yards and four touchdowns. He also rushed once for seven yards. Despite drawing 13 more targets in Year 2, Wilson finished with a relatively similar receiving line to the 38 grabs for 565 yards and three scores he compiled as a rookie, due in large part to his yards per catch dropping from 14.9 to 11.7. With the Cardinals having opted against adding significant competition to the pass-catching corps this offseason, Wilson is positioned to reprise a starting role and operate as Kyler Murray's likely third target behind No. 1 wideout Marvin Harrison and tight end Trey McBride.

Head coach Raheem Morris said Monday the team is being "extremely cautious" with Pitts (foot) and that the tight end won't be seen at OTAs but has "been in every single meeting" and "been in every single thing that we've done other than the field," Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.

Morris declined to specify the nature of Pitts' current injury, but reports amid his absence from OTAs last week linked the 2021 first-round pick to a foot issue, per Kyle Crabbs of AtoZ Sports. Around the same time, multiple NFL sources floated rumors naming Pitts as a possible trade candidate, per Matt Urben of USA Today. Pitts is currently heading into the final season of his rookie deal due to Atlanta's decision to pick up his $10.88 million fifth-year option, and offensive coordinator Zac Robinson said he's expecting the tight end "to take a big jump in Year 2 of the system" in 2025. He scored a career-high four touchdowns in 2024 but had just 47 catches for 602 yards, a step down from his 53 grabs for 667 yards in 2023 and a far cry from his 1,026-yard rookie campaign.

Diggs (ACL) is present for voluntary OTAs on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Diggs' attendance at voluntary OTAs has been hit-or-miss, and he was notably absent last Wednesday when head coach Mike Vrabel was made to address a controversial video of the veteran wide receiver posted to social media, per Mike Reiss of ESPN. Vrabel said he had spoken with Diggs and stressed a desire for the 31-year-old, who inked a three-year, $69 million deal in March to position himself as the No. 1 wide receiver for second-year quarterback Drake Maye, "to make great decisions on and off the field." Diggs is again practicing without a brace on his surgically repaired right knee Monday, per Reiss, a sign that his recovery from a torn ACL suffered on Oct. 27 is continuing on good track.

Johnston (knee) has been participating in Pittsburgh's OTAs, per WCCS radio.

Johnston signed a three-year contract with the Steelers in March of last year, but he hurt his right knee in Week 1 against Atlanta and ended up on IR for the remainder of the campaign. Now that he's back to health, Johnston is expected to retake his role as Pittsburgh's primary punter.

Layne (knee) has been participating in the Giants' OTAs, John Schmeelk of the team's official site reports.

Layne hurt his knee in Week 16 of last season and finished the campaign on IR. However, Schmeelk reports that the 25-year-old safety "made a couple good plays" during practice Friday, so it appears Layne is back to full health. He'll have a chance to compete for a depth role in the defensive backfield during training camp.

Neal (ribs/hip) took part in the Giants' OTAs on Friday, John Schmeelk of the team's official site reports.

Neal missed New York's final game last season due to injuries to his ribs and hip, but he appears to be back to full health. Per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com, Neal is playing left guard during OTAs as he makes the switch from right tackle, and the 2022 first-round draft pick will attempt to win a starting role at his new position.

Schmitz (ankle) has been participating in the Giants' OTAs this week, John Schmeelk of the team's official website reports.

After starting the first 15 games of the regular season in 2024, Schmitz missed Weeks 17 and 18 with the ankle injury. He's expected to again start at center for the Giants this upcoming season.

Hawkins (back) has been participating in the Giants' OTAs this week, John Schmeelk of the team's official website reports.

Hawkins missed all but three regular-season games last season due to ankle and back issues. He didn't play after Week 14 but appears to be healthy headed into the 2025 offseason workout program. Hawkins was a 2023 sixth-round pick by the G-Men.
