Morency exploded in Houston’s second preseason game and could team with Wali Lundy to form an unheralded running back committee in Houston. Watch their third preseason game closely to see what the team plans to do. Morency could be worth a flier in fantasy leagues.

Cam Horsley (6’3/312) enters the 2025 NFL Draft as a battle-tested, high-floor interior defender with four years of starting experience at Boston College. A stout lineman with a strong 8.54 RAS, Horsley flashes quickness off the snap (5.04 Forty, 1.73 10-yard split) and vertical pop (31.5” jump) but makes his money as a gap-plugger with violent hands and a low center of gravity. He consistently held the point of attack in the Eagles’ 4-3 front, tallying 42 tackles and 7 TFLs in 2024 while earning All-ACC honors. Horsley thrives with heavy strikes, anchor strength, and short-area agility, but his pass-rush arsenal remains underdeveloped. His pad level can rise late, allowing blockers to redirect him, and he can be sealed when trying to shoot gaps. Still, his durability, hand strength, and physicality make him a rock-solid rotational nose or 1-tech prospect.

Tomasson’s report affirms prior reporting on Greenlaw’s injury, saying Greenlaw will avoid surgery and that the recovery is comprised of “rehab only.” It seems as though Greenlaw has avoided serious injury and should be able to hit the ground running by late July. Unless he experiences complications, Broncos fans can expect to see him on the field in Week 1.

The 2019 fifth-rounder spent five seasons with the Raiders before taking a year off in 2023. He produced a career-best season in 2021, catching 103-of-124 targets for 1,038 yards and nine touchdowns. Renfrow has 1,881 slot snaps and 709 perimeter snaps to his name, though he curiously performs more efficiently, on a per-route basis, when lined up as a perimeter receiver. If he has anything left in the tank, the 29-year-old Renfrow may be able to compete for the team’s No. 4 wide receiver role. He is unlikely to perform as a reliable flex option, though.

Dust is still settling following Greenlaw’s quad injury. In the initial report on the matter, multiple sources indicated that Greenlaw could “miss a substantial portion” of the 2025 NFL season after suffering a torn quad. Ensuing reports, citing a single “source with knowledge of the injury and the timeline,” suggest Greenlaw should be fine after a multi-week rehab program. While there is likely more to be learned here, we take the follow-up reports as a positive indicator regarding Greenlaw’s odds of playing in 2025.

The Broncos signed Greenlaw to a three-year, $31.5 million contract in March. He previously suffered a season-ending Achilles tendon rupture in Super Bowl LVIII, of the 2023-2024 NFL season. Last season, Greenlaw returned to play in Week 15, logging 30 snaps, plus four more snaps in Week 16, before being shut down due to knee and calf soreness stemming from his Achilles tendon recovery.

Ivey played at Georgia Tech for his first two seasons, starting 11 games with 32 tackles and 6 TFLs as a redshirt freshman in 2021. He then spent the next three seasons as a fixture on the Ole Miss defensive line, sliding between three tech and EDGE while recording a team-high 11.5 TFLs in 2023. The Suwanee, GA native raised his game last year, playing almost exclusively EDGE and earning a pristine 90.6 overall defensive grade that ranked top-10 nationally. A smothering finisher, Ivey missed just five tackles in the last two seasons, spanning 1,102 snaps and 46 stops. A model of consistency, he recorded a 72nd percentile pass rush grade in each of his five collegiate campaigns. Possesses a long-cut 6’6/274 frame with 33 ½ inch arms after being billed at 285 at Ole Miss. Ivey moves very fluidly for his size, and does not appear that heavy at first glance. He played a good deal of 3-Tech, and did well penetrating but he can get high sometimes, affecting his base in run support. Ivey is athletic and cagey, but doesn’t get fortified when taking on pulling guards and double teams. His positional versatility and ability to create havoc in the pass game from multiple alignments should keep him employed for a long time.

Ogbah, a 2016 second-round pick, joins a trio of former first-round picks in the Jaguars’ EDGE rotation. The former Dolphin dealt with triceps and biceps injuries in each of the last three seasons but managed to appear in 17-of-18 possible games in 2024, tallying 33 quarterback pressures and six sacks. He should remain effective in a part-time role this year.

One day after the 2025 NFL Draft concluded, NFL media reported en masse that Ulbrich’s son, Jax, was involved in the prank call made to Sanders during the former Colorado quarterback’s draft-day(s) slide. The Falcons organization then released a public statement, sending “sincere apologies” to the entire Sanders family. For those concerned that the father might be punished for the sins of the son, the Falcons let it be known that the organization “will not take any action against their defensive coordinator.” This is a smart move for a team that intends to field a strong defense. Schefter adds that the Falcons “are continuing to review their protocols to make sure something like this doesn’t happen again.” We believe it is safe to assume that all team-issued iPads will be safely locked with six-digit codes and/or facial recognition technology moving forward.

The Dolphins appear dead set on a split with No. 1 CB Jalen Ramsey, which would leave them with slot CB Kader Kohou as the only reliable starter at the position. The 30-year-old Douglas is no longer a high-impact perimeter starter, having produced a single-digit (6.5 percent) forced incompletion rate last year; the first time doing so since 2018. He would still likely be an upgrade over penciled-in perimeter starters, Storm Duck and Cam Smith. Should the team resolve their issues with Ramsey, and sign Douglas, they would suddenly have a decent starting trio on their hands.

“I look at Najee and Omarion — both starters,” Harbaugh said. “He brings that same type of mentality Najee brings. Like I said last week, we’re looking for someone who complements but also offers the same,” Bolts GM Joe Hortiz added. These comments seem to paint this as more of a committee situation, at least for September. That probably makes Hampton more of a speculative mid-round pick than a sure-fire volume back, though we expect Hampton will eventually wind up seeing the majority of the volume. He is the better third-down back on paper, so long as his pass-protection credentials hold up in the translation to the NFL.
