  • FA Guard #72

    According to Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, OG Deuce Lutui’s weight is “way down.”
    “He looks good,” Carroll said. “His weight is down — I mean, way down from where he can be. He’s a vegan, too, now, so he has really made a big turn.” It appears Lutui has finally gotten serious about staying in shape after being benched by the Cardinals last season. Lutui provides Seattle with veteran insurance for rehabbing RG John Moffitt (torn MCL, PCL).
  • FA Center #60

    Former Patriots C David Andrews retired from the NFL after 10 seasons.
    Andrews will officially announce his retirement via a press conference next week. A former UDFA, Andrews spent 10 years in the league, all of which came in Foxborough. He started 121 games and won two Super Bowls as a Patriot. Andrews was surprisingly released by New England earlier this offseason in a move that only saved them $2.7 million in cap space. Instead of looking for work elsewhere, the veteran lineman chose to hang up the cleats for good.
    How Olave, Shaheed can benefit from Shough at QB
    Kyle Dvorchak unpacks the reports of New Orleans Saints wide receivers Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed completely recovering from their injuries, analyzing how both can benefit with rookie Tyler Shough at QB.
  • GB Running Back #32
    Packers RB Marshawn Lloyd worked with the rehab group in Wednesday’s practice.
    We’re early in OTAs so this may be nothing, but it’s certainly worth noting given Lloyd’s injury-marred rookie season. The 2024 third-round pick dealt with hip, hamstring, and ankle issues along with appendicitis. He appeared in just one game during his debut season. The specifics of his current injury aren’t known, but he was reportedly healthy and working without any restrictions as of a week ago. The last thing he needs is another setback early in his second offseason. Lloyd missing an extended period of time would open the door for Emanuel Wilson to retain the RB2 role in Green Bay. Wilson rushed for 502 yards and four scores on 103 attempts last year.
  • ATL Tight End #8
    Underdog’s James Palmer reports Kyle Pitts is dealing with a foot injury.
    Pitts’ absence at Falcons OTAs this week was not contract related as he enters the final year of his rookie deal with Atlanta. It’s unclear how long Pitts might remain out with the foot injury. The team could be taking precautions with their starting tight end in the early stages of the offseason schedule. Falcons coaches over the past few months have hinted that they expect much more from Pitts in 2025. Pitts in 2024 was 22nd in tight end receptions and 13th in tight end receiving yards. Since the start of the 2023 season, Pitts ranks 116th among all pass catchers in EPA per target.
  • SEA Quarterback
    Seahawks head coach Mike MacDonald said QB Jalen Milroe “will not be used in the same fashion as Taysom Hill.”
    “Milroe is a quarterback, Macdonald said, and will be used accordingly,” The Athletic’s Michael-Shawn Dugar said. That doesn’t mean the Seahawks won’t find some way to get the ultra-athletic Milroe onto the field in some high-leverage circumstances, perhaps in short yardage or goal line situations. If Milroe and Darnold rotate snaps in 2025, neither will have much in the way of fantasy value. Seattle is fully expected to be among the NFL’s run heaviest units under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak.
  • CLE Quarterback #7
    Kenny Picket quarterbacked the first-team offense to start Browns OTAs.
    Pickett took reps with the first-team offense, followed by veteran Joe Flacco, followed by Dillon Gabriel. Shedeur Sanders, the team’s fifth-round draft pick, was last in the first-team rotation. Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said last week that the first-team reps would not be evenly split between the Browns’ four QBs. The team appeared to do just that on Wednesday. It would not be surprising if any of the the four signal callers were to emerge as Cleveland’s starter, though there’s a long way to go before we get any clarity on this muddied situation.
  • MIA Linebacker #2
    Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said LB Bradley Chubb (knee) is participating “in most things” during the team’s OTAs.
    Chubb missed the entire 2024 season with a torn ACL, meniscus, and patellar tendon injury he sustained at the end of the 2023 regular season. EDGE Jaelan Phillips, who suffered a season-ending ACL injury in October, was also participating during Miami’s OTAs as he makes his way back from yet another serious injury. A fully-healthy Chubb and Phillips would be a much-needed addition to a Dolphins defense that last year had the league’s ninth lowest QB pressure rate and was graded by Pro Football Focus as the NFL’s 11th worst pass rushing unit.
  • WAS Quarterback #5
    Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury said QB Jayden Daniels is “a little thicker” than he was in 2024.
    Kingsbury added that Daniels’ arm strength has improved since his tremendous rookie season, during which he threw for 25 touchdowns and nine interceptions while completing 69 percent of his attempts. Kingsbury said there was no mandate from the team that Daniels — who played as a rookie at 6'4" and 208 pounds — put on weight during the offseason. Lamar Jackson took a similar path early in his NFL career before dropping the weight and returning to his original playing weight. Daniels should once again be an elite fantasy option as one of the most efficient mobile quarterbacks in the NFL.
  • SF Punter #6
    49ers signed P Thomas Morstead, formerly of the Jets.
    Morstead will enter his 17th NFL season with the Niners after spending the past two years with the Jets. Morstead, 39, has played for four other teams since entering the league in 2007. In 2024, he ranked 25th in net punting average (41 yards) and a career-high touchback rate of 11.1 percent.
  • NYG Wide Receiver #1
    Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Malik Nabers is dealing with a toe injury that has bothered him since college.
    Nabers, per Daboll, “won’t do much this spring.” He’s still rehabbing a toe injury from last season that has lingered since his days at LSU, though he had not required a procedure on the toe. Nabers, who was second in the league in wide receiver targets and third in receptions in 2024, should be a full-go for training camp barring setbacks to the toe injury. He’ll look to develop chemistry with Russell Wilson, Jaxson Dart, and any other Giants quarterbacks who might see playing time in 2025.
  • SF Wide Receiver #14
    The Athletic’s Matt Barrows reports 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall has worked extensively with Brock Purdy this offseason.
    Pearsall missed critical practice time last summer after struggling with shoulder and hamstring issues and being shot in the torso in late August. The second-year wideout has tried to make up for lost time by working with Purdy in Florida and Arizona this spring. “There’s been so many moments throughout the year where [Pearsall] has run a route and I’ve thrown a ball and it’s just slightly off,” Purdy said in January. “And we know that, hey, once we get a real offseason together and we can talk about the basics, the fundamentals, the timing of concepts and everything and just get a bunch of reps together — dude, it’ll get way better.” The 49ers could lean on Pearsall and Jauan Jennings early in the season with Brandon Aiyuk (ACL) expected to miss the early part of the regular season and Demarcus Robinson potentially drawing a suspension for a DUI arrest in November. Pearsall’s performance against press coverage, Barrows said, could make him a valuable part of the San Francisco passing attack in 2025.
