  • Raiders' Brandon Johnson: Signs with Las Vegas

    Johnson signed with the Raiders on Wednesday.

    Johnson was dropped from the Steelers on June 9 but has already found a new home in Las Vegas. The 27-year-old wideout's last in-game action came with Pittsburgh in 2024, when he appeared in three contests and caught his lone target for nine yards on 19 offensive snaps.

  • Cole Bishop SAF | BUF

    Bills' Cole Bishop: Targeting training camp return

    Bishop had "some stuff cleaned up in the knee" but is expected to return for training camp, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.

    Bishop has not been participating in the Bills' minicamp due to this knee procedure and will continue to rehab in Buffalo until training camp begins. The third-year pro from Utah posted impressive numbers in 2025, tallying 85 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, and seven passes defensed, with three interceptions, while playing in all 17 regular-season contests. Once fully healthy, he's expected to remain Buffalo's top strong safety.

  • Cardinals' Garrett Williams: Returning for Week 1?

    Head coach Mike LaFleur told reporters Wednesday that Williams (Achilles) could return for the Cardinals' regular-season opener, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

    Williams, who tore his Achilles in late December of 2025, is progressing better than expected and now has a chance to return for Arizona's Week 1 matchup against the Chargers on Sept. 13. The fourth-year pro from Syracuse was a crucial part of the Cardinals' secondary in 2025, recording 46 total tackles, five passes defensed, including one interception, and one forced fumble across just 10 contests.

  • Abdul Carter LB | NYG

    Giants' Abdul Carter: Nursing ankle sprain

    Carter did not practice Tuesday or Wednesday after spraining his ankle Monday, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

    Leonard also noted that Carter had his ankle tightly wrapped during Wednesday's walkthrough, but it's an encouraging sign that he's not wearing a boot. The 22-year-old edge rusher is targeting a return for the beginning of training camp.

  • Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes: Chiefs add two years to contract

    Mahomes (ACL) and Kansas City agreed to terms Wednesday on a deal that amends two additional years to his contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Mahomes' new deal keeps him under contract with the Chiefs through the 2033 season and carries a total value of $504.75 million, providing the 30-year-old quarterback an average salary of $64 million per season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Per Pete Sweeney of the Kansas City Star, Mahomes continued to participate in 7-on-7 drills at mandatory minicamp this week while rehabbing from a torn ACL and LCL suffered in Week 15 of last season, but he remained sidelined during 11-on-11 drills. It remains to be seen when Mahomes will be cleared to resume handling full-team reps, but by all accounts his offseason recovery continues to proceed on schedule.

  • Eagles' Jihaad Campbell: Returning for training camp?

    Campbell (shoulder) has not practiced all spring but is expected to return for training camp, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    As defensive coordinator Vic Fangio stated in late May, the expectation is for Campbell to be ready for Eagles' training camp in July. Campbell, a 2025 first-round pick from Alabama, appeared in 17 regular-season games during his rookie campaign, recording 80 total tackles, three passes defensed, including one interception, and one forced fumble. With Nakobe Dean's departure in free agency, Campbell is expected to operate as one of Philadelphia's top inside linebackers once healthy.

  • Packers' Luke Musgrave: Dealing with injury

    Musgrave sustained an undisclosed injury during the Packers' practice Tuesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Head coach Matt LaFleur wouldn't disclose Musgrave's injury, but the tight end was spotted on a treadmill in the rehab area during Wednesday's practice. Despite Tucker Kraft (knee) missing Green Bay's final nine regular-season games in 2025, Musgrave remained a minimal part of the offense, catching just 24 of 31 targets for 252 yards over 17 regular-season games. Once he returns to full health, he'll likely battle for one of the Packers' reserve TE spots.

  • Cade Klubnik QB | NYJ

    Jets' Cade Klubnik: Nursing back tightness

    Klubnik is dealing with back tightness and won't practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    It appears as if Klubnik avoided a serious back injury, as head coach Aaron Glenn told reporters Wednesday that he expects the rookie quarterback to return for the Jets' minicamp next week. During his final collegiate season at Clemson, Klubnik threw for 2,943 yards, 16 touchdowns and six interceptions while adding 94 yards and four touchdowns on the ground. He's expected to compete for New York's No. 2 QB spot as the offseason progresses.

  • Layne Pryor TE | HOU

    Texans' Layne Pryor: Dealing with quad injury

    Pryor didn't practice Wednesday due to a quadriceps injury, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    The Northern Iowa product spent time with the Texans' practice squad last season and signed a reserve/future contract with the team in late January. Once fully healthy, Pryor will likely compete for a depth role in Houston's tight end room.

  • Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Coach won't name starting QB

    Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur declined Wednesday to name a starting quarterback, though Brissett reported for the start of mandatory minicamp on Monday, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

    LaFleur's lack of an answer when asked about Arizona's starting quarterback may partially be posturing, after Brissett held out of voluntary workouts earlier in the offseason due to dissatisfaction with his current contract. It wouldn't be out of the question, however, for the Cardinals to host a competition that includes backup Gardner Minshew and rookie third-rounder Carson Beck if the team suspects Brissett will enact a "hold in" as the offseason progresses. Brissett is heading into the final season of his two-year deal and is slated to carry a $4.88 million salary in 2026. Earlier in the offseason, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN reports that Arizona informed Brissett (who was in attendance for Tuesday's minicamp practice but did not participate) he would be the team's starter for 2026.
