  • NYJ Quarterback #8

    FOX Sports’ Jordan Schultz reports the narrative of a fractured relationship between Aaron Rodgers and Jets owner Woody Johnson is “overblown.”
    The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reported on Saturday that Rodgers wants to play in 2025 but for a different team. Previous reports have carried the same sentiment. The Jets fired head coach Robert Saleh early in the season and just canned GM Joe Douglas, meaning it’s a page one rewrite for the franchise in the offseason. Rodgers, soon to be 41 years old, isn’t long for this league and a new staff will want to start from scratch with a quarterback of their choice. Still, the fact that someone is trying to change the narrative of Rodgers’ relationship with Johnson leaves the light on for him to play one more season in New York.
  • ARI Defensive Tackle

    Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon said DT Walter Nolen will miss time with a calf injury he suffered while getting ready for training camp.
    Arizona’s No. 16 overall pick will head to the sidelines for the start of his first training camp as a pro. Nolen was a high-ceiling defensive tackle at Ole Miss who needed to show more consistency in his game. A lack of practice time isn’t going to do him any favors. Though the Cardinals’ defense should improve in Gannon’s second year on the headset, they aren’t off to a great start.
    Will Nabers benefit from Wilson at QB for Giants?
    Lawrence Jackson Jr. unpacks New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll's comments on cementing Russell Wilson as the team's starting QB, determining if this serves as a fantasy upgrade for WR Malik Nabers.
  • SF Wide Receiver #19
    49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said WR Jacob Cowing suffered a hamstring injury in Wednesday’s practice.
    Cowing was a rising star during the 49ers’ spring practices, drawing praise from reporters including The Athletic’s Vic Tafur, who said he could take over some of Deebo Samuel’s vacant gadget touches. Now Cowing will join Brandon Aiyuk and Ricky Pearsall on the sidelines. Aiyuk is recovering from a torn ACL and isn’t expected to be ready for Week 1. Pearsall is dealing with a lingering hamstring issue but isn’t expected to miss much time. Despite airing his desire for a new contract publicly, Jauan Jennings showed up to practice and fully participated on Wednesday, putting any notions of a “hold-in” to bed. If the 49ers can’t field a healthy receiving corps around him, Jennings will project for a gaudy target share out of the gates.
  • CAR Wide Receiver #13
    The Charlotte Observer’s Mike Kaye believes Hunter Renfrow has found “some notable chemistry” with Bryce Young.
    Kaye points out that Young targeted Renfrow regularly throughout the first practice of training camp. It wasn’t just reporters noticing their chemistry either. Young praised Renfrow’s ability to get open and understanding of the game before saying he’s excited to continue building chemistry with him. Renfrow did not play in 2024 and went for a combined 585 yards in the previous two seasons. His odds of being an impactful player in 2025 are slim, but this is what the beginning of a bounceback would look like for the veteran slot receiver.
  • MIA Cornerback #23
    ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Dolphins CB Artie Burns is believed to have suffered a torn ACL in Wednesday’s practice.
    The Sun Sentinel’s David Furones has since confirmed that Burns tore his ACL in practice. The injury will sideline him for the entirety of the 2025 season. Burns signed a one-year deal with the Dolphins in the offseason to bolster their secondary. Burns bounced between the Seahawks’ practice squad and active roster last year and was set to compete for a rotational role in Miami. The injury and Jalen Ramsey trade leave Miami severely undermanned at corner. They could look to the free agent market for some depth.
  • CHI Wide Receiver
    ESPN’s Courtney Cronin reports Bears WR Luther Burden is not practicing at the start of training camp.
    As Cronin notes, Burden got banged up when he landed on the ball in an early offseason practice. He was also dealing with a hamstring issue at one point. It’s not clear which injury is forcing him to miss the start of camp, but it’s a bad sign no matter the cause. The fact thta Ben Johnson previously indicated that Burden would be ready for camp and he isn’t is an even brighter red flag. Burden left Mizzou as a schemed-touches master, perfect for Johnson’s heavily curated offense. Fantasy managers should still bet on him carving out a role as a rookie, but the odds of that happening early in the season are decreasing by the day.
  • FA Wide Receiver #13
    NFL insider Jordan Schultz reports WR Keenan Allen “has drawn interest from multiple teams in recent weeks.”
    Schultz said Allen, 33, who had 70 receptions for 744 yards and seven touchdowns last season with the Bears, has “been waiting for training camps to open to better assess the landscape and get a clearer picture of each team’s wide receiver situation.” Allen ranked 16th among wideouts in targets, operating for much of the year as Chicago’s No. 1 receiver. Look for Allen to sign this summer with a wideout-needy team that would use him as an every-down player. Some teams in need to receiver help include the Patriots, Steelers, Cowboys, Seahawks, and Jets.
  • MIA Tackle #79
    Dolphins T Bayron Matos was taken to a hospital via helicopter on Wednesday.
    Matos, 24, reportedly sustained a serious injury near the end of Wednesday’s training camp practice and was helicoptered to a nearby hospital for further evaluation. It’s a frightening situation. We’ll update Matos’ condition as the team offers updates on his condition.
  • DAL Wide Receiver #14
    Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer said George Pickens’ instincts are “uncanny.”
    Schottenheimer also described Pickens’ ability to track and secure downfield attempts is “uncanny” and should change the Dallas offense in 2025. Dak Prescott has sung Pickens’ praises since he was traded to the Cowboys a couple months ago, calling Pickens more than just a deep ball specialist. Schottenheimer said last year’s Cowboys “didn’t have enough explosive plays” and the addition of Pickens — who in 2024 had the league’s second most receiving yards on downfield targets — should be the solution in 2025. Pickens is quietly an excellent fantasy pick in a Dallas offense that should have a condensed target distribution.
  • CIN Quarterback #9
    Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said QB Joe Burrow will play more in preseason games this summer.
    It could be a way for the Bengals to prevent yet another miserable start to the regular season, though putting Burrow in harm’s way during meaningless August games presents some risk. Last year, Burrow completed five of seven preseason passes for 51 yards and a touchdown. It was the first preseason action he had seen since 2021, when he completed his lone preseason attempt. Hopefully Burrow can stay healthy and upright as the team ramps up his August playing time.
  • NYG Wide Receiver #1
    Malik Nabers is practicing fully at Giants training camp.
    Head coach Brian Daboll said Nabers, who has dealt with a toe injury that dates back to his days at LSU, is “ready to go” for camp after the Giants were cautious with his offseason workload. Nabers in his 2024 rookie year was seventh in receiving yards and third in receptions among all wideouts. He was 20th among receivers in yards per route, right ahead of Khalil Shakir and DeVonta Smith.
