Starting safety Rayshawn Jenkins is active after being listed as questionable due to a concussion. All of the Jags’ inactives are healthy scratches for Week 10.

Simmons suffered a torn patellar tendon in 2024 but is still in the mix as a Day 1 prospect. He would likely slot in as a potential future starter behind the Colts or Chiefs’ starting offensive tackle duos. He allowed just one quarterback pressure in seven games played last season.

The 6-foot, 221-pound Hampton demonstrated high-end athleticism at the NFL Scouting Combine, following an excellent three-year campaign at North Carolina. In his final college season, Hampton rushed 281 times for 1,660 yards and 15 touchdowns while forcing 73 missed tackles and registering zero fumbles. He caught 38-of-43 targets for 373 yards and two touchdowns while forcing an additional eight missed tackles. Hampton has the type of three-down skillset to steal Tyrone Tracy Jr.'s starting role.

Johnson showcased adequate speed (4.57-second 40-yard dash) for a big-bodied back at the NFL Scouting Combine. In his final season at Iowa last year, he rushed 240 times for 1,535 yards and 21 touchdowns while never once fumbling and forcing 66 missed tackles. Although he is less accomplished as a receiver, Johnson notably caught 22-of-25 targets for 190 yards and two touchdowns. He would provide the Bengals with a burly complement to incumbent starter Chase Brown (5-foot-9, 209 pounds).

Per a follow-up report from NBC Sports’ ProFootballTalk, “the NFL could take action under the Personal Conduct Policy, regardless of whether no action is taken against Hill in the criminal justice system.” The NFL, however, does not have subpoena power, so participation by the requestees must be voluntary.

Marshall may have a chance to battle for the No. 3 WR role but is perhaps best suited to the No. 4 or 5 gig. Marshall caught 3-of-5 targets for 41 yards with the Raiders in 2024. He caught his lone career touchdown with the Panthers in 2022.

Per the report, “Bond, 20, was subsequently released after posting bail.” Further details on the matter have not yet been released. In a statement made to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Bond said he is fully cooperating “with the authorities and will remain a willing and active participant in the investigation.” Bond spent 2022 and 2023 at Alabama before transferring to Texas for 2024. “The Texas product has been widely predicted to be a Day 2" pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Carter had his medical recheck in Indianapolis on Thursday after a stress reaction in his right foot was discovered during the NFL Scouting Combine in February. “It should be a non-factor with the teams at this point,” his agent Drew Rosenhaus said. Carter is expected to arrive in New Jersey on Thursday evening where he will have dinner with the Giants, before his Top 30 visit with the team on Friday, per the MMQB’s Albert Breer.

Riddick’s comments come five days after he reportedly met with Deion Sanders, who, Cleveland’s Mary Kay Cabot explains, “have remained in close contact” since their 1993 season together with the Falcons. Riddick said he hopes that Sanders “doesn’t go in the top three picks” and that he thinks Sanders’ camp “would tell you the same thing. There are other teams they want to go to.” Riddick listed the Saints, Steelers and Raiders as being “very good fits for [Sanders].”

Reeder contributes on both defense and special teams but was limited to just six games in 2024 after suffering a season-ending hamstring injury in Week 7. He notched 31 tackles, one going for a loss or no gain, and one pass defended. He should handle a similar role this season.

The Big Ten Offensive Lineman of the Year, who is regarded as a potential late first-round pick, started all 12 games he played at left tackle for Minnesota in 2024. According to PFF, Ersery allowed just one sack last season. The Texans, who currently hold the 25th overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, dealt Pro Bowl tackle Laremy Tunsil to the Commanders in March.
