Frye, signed off the Texans’ practice squad last season, is undersized but athletic. The Dolphins are also rotating Shawn Murphy in, and coach Tony Sparano indicated that he’s still most comfortable with last year’s starter Ike Ndukwe.

Simmons is having a very good Sunday. Earlier this morning, Simmons exceeded expectations by appearing as a limited participant in positional rookie minicamp drills. He ruptured his patellar tendon in Week 7 of the 2024 college season and has been rigorously rehabbing the injury this offseason. Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the $14.675 million deal Simmons signed this evening is fully guaranteed, and per usual, comes with the standard fifth-year option for the 2029 season.

Watson said he’s “got a couple more months” ahead of him, presumably referring to his recovery, although he is not expected to take the field until midseason after injuring his ACL in Week 18. His surgery date has not yet been revealed, so it is difficult to estimate a return-to-play date 10-12 months post-op. For now, we’ll take the positive news and celebrate Watson for “attacking it every day.” He should not be counted on for early-season productivity at this time.

NBC Houston’s Aaron Wilson provided us with our last update Dell’s recovery processes back in mid-February, when Dell’s ACL reconstruction was reportedly pending after successful LCL and MCL operations. Per Alexander, Dell underwent ACL reconstruction in early March, beginning the countdown for a potential return in 12 months or less. Returning to play sometime in Spring 2026 would allow Dell to rejoin the team in time for all offseason workouts and organized team activities and, hopefully, set him up for a bounce-back season later that year.

Reporters asked Harbaugh about the NFL’s open investigation into Justin Tucker’s 16 sexual assault allegations, and whether the Ravens might move on from Tucker with sixth-round rookie K Tyler Loop now in the fold. Harbaugh answered by saying the Ravens’ organization does not know “anything” about the investigation and has not been given any information by the league. Per Harbaugh, “every decision” the Ravens make must therefore “be based on football,” citing things like practice performance, draft capital and salary cap implications as critical factors. Loop promisingly converted 45-of-47 field goals attempted from 0-to-39 yards out in his college career.

As The Athletic’s Jayna Bardahl notes, Simmons’ participation comes days after head coach Andy Reid suggested the rookie would be sidelined as he continues to recover from a non-contact knee injury he suffered in Week 7 of last year. Simmons did not participate in 11-on-11 drills, per Bardahl, but did dress out and participate in offensive lineman drills. It sounds as if Simmons is hoping to be ready by training camp after the rookie said he wants to “attack rehab as hard as (he) can” in hopes of being “the most help that (he) can be” come camp. Whether or not he’ll step into a starting role come Week 1 will likely be determined by his health and how much work he can get in during camp. With several months still to go, his early participation seems to be a good sign.

A former third-round pick of the 49ers back in 2022, Davis-Price has appeared in just eight games during his career, amassing 127 scoreless yards on the ground on 43 carries. The former LSU Tiger has struggled to find his footing in the pros, and will be battling to make a 53-man roster wherever he lands next.

The Cowboys are hoping Revel turns into one of the steals of this year’s draft. The former ECU Pirate displayed first-round caliber talent throughout his collegiate career, but likely slipped to the third round due to his injury. The rookie corner participated in walkthroughs at rookie minicamp and but did not that he hasn’t “gotten too much into” cutting just yet. Revel was injured in last September and is expected to be cleared come training camp. It sounds as if things are trending in the right direction, so we’ll see how things shape up over the next several months.

The Seahawks drafted Ouzts in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, coming out of Alabama as a tight end. The team will also convert Brady Russell to fullback from tight end, a former undrafted free agent from the 2023 class. The moves are a concerted effort to be more physical in the run game under offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, something that could bolster the fantasy upside of Kenneth Walker in the coming season.

The Ravens hosted both Noteboom and George Fant for free agent visits last month, ultimately deciding on the former. The soon-to-be 30-year-old tackle started 35 games in seven seasons with the Rams and is likely to serve as a depth offensive line piece behind Ronnie Stanley and Roger Rosengarten to start the season.
