    Terrion Arnold’s attorney Harvey Steinberg said Arnold has already been contacted by three teams and is expected to sign within 30 days.

    Steinberg claimed this in his written opposition to the prosecution’s motion to require Arnold to wear an ankle monitor while on home confinement ahead of his trial. That, of course, would prevent him from being with another team. Arnold is facing multiple felony charges after being arrested in connection with a February robbery and kidnapping in Tampa Bay. It’s hard to believe multiple teams are willing to sign Arnold given the charges levied against him, and it’s possible the court doesn’t even allow him to travel to those teams. The NFL can also step in and place him on the commissioner’s exempt list, so we would be shocked if he plays football anytime soon.

    Just hours after it was announced that Arnold’s bond would be set for $1 million, the Lions have opted to part ways with the former No. 24 overall pick. Arnold will now go on waivers, where he will presumably go unclaimed, and is likely to remain unsigned while he works through his legal issues. He is facing multiple felonies, which include four counts of kidnapping and assault, and could be sentenced to up to life in prison if convicted. Arnold has appeared in 24 regular season games in his two seasons with the Lions, totaling 91 tackles, one interception, and 18 pass breakups.
  • DET Cornerback #6
    Arnold will post bond and appears set to join the Lions when training camp opens next month. The 23-year-old corner was arrested last week for his connection to a robbery and kidnapping in Tampa that took place in February, which he denies having any involvement with. The court, which did find probable cause for the charges against Arnold, also declined to impose an ankle bracelet on him as a condition of his release. It’s possible Arnold lands on the Commissioner’s Exempt List while he awaits trial, but the league will likely reserve any disciplinary action until after his case is settled in court.
  • DET Cornerback #6
    The Hillsborough County State Attorney’s Office announced Wednesday it will file charges against Arnold “following his arrest in connection with a February robbery and kidnapping in Tampa.” The charges carry a potential sentence of up to life in prison. The NFL will likely wait for the investigation to conclude before conducting their own investigation, though the charges are serious enough to where Arnold has a chance of not returning to the league. Arnold made a statement via his PR rep saying he “categorically denies any involvement in the matter.” He voluntarily surrendered to a warrant and two other defendants pleaded guilty Wednesday. Headed for the NFL Commissioner’s Exempt List, Arnold faces arrest with multiple felony charges.
  • DET Cornerback #6
    Arnold had a rough time in 2025. He injured his shoulder in Week 5 and sat out in Weeks 6-8. He returned for Weeks 9-10, but then suffered a concussion. He cleared the NFL’s concussion protocol in Week 13, but managed to aggravate his shoulder injury in-game and was shut down for the rest of the year. He participated in walkthroughs for 30 minutes today, marking his first official practice participation this offseason. His reps are still being managed but this is a good first step.
  • DET Cornerback #6
    Arnold re-injured his shoulder in the Lions’ Thanksgiving game against the Packers and will undergo season-ending surgery in the coming days, per Pelissero. He had tried to play through the injury after hurting his shoulder in Week 5. The Lions secondary will take a hit with Arnold sidelined. Detroit has allowed the NFL’s seventh lowest drop backs success rate in 2025.
  • DET Cornerback #6
    Arnold suffered a shoulder injury in Week 13’s loss to the Packers and will now miss at least the next four games as a result. The second-year corner has appeared in eight games this season while making seven starts, and registered his first career interception in Week 9 against the Vikings. Arnold has allowed just 23 receptions on 41 targets this season, per PFF, earning a coverage grade of 53.8.
  • DET Safety #31
    Joseph hasn’t played since October 12. We appreciate how good Joseph is and understand that the Lions would rather have him out there if at all possible, but there’s literally an injured reserve for this sort of thing. Brian Branch (toe/ankle) got in a full session today to upgrade over a Monday limited, and Terrion Arnold (concussion) remained limited and may be trying to clear protocol tomorrow to make the active line.
  • DET Defensive Back #32
    The Lions’ difference-making defensive back will be on the field when his team takes on the Jameis Winston-led Giants. Lions CB Terrion Arnold (concussion) will not play. The unit is a decent bet to record one or more interceptions for D/ST purposes.
  • DET Defensive Back #32
    The Lions’ banged-up secondary does not need to lose another player. Branch’s return was needed. Hopefully, the impactful safety can resume practicing fully on Friday. The Lions face the Giants in Week 12. Lions CB Terrion Arnold (concussion) remains sidelined.
  • DET Defensive Back #32
    Cornerback Terrion Arnold remains on the sidelines while in the league’s concussion protocol. Per usual, the Lions are banged up on defense. Losing Branch in addition to Arnold, who looks unlikely to play this week, would be a big blow to the unit. Branch has five pass breakups, 2.5 sacks, and one forced fumble this year.

    The California Post’s Vincent Bonsignore reports that the 49ers’ 2027 first-round pick, a 2028 second-round pick and EDGE Mykel Williams form the “framework for a suitable offer” in a potential trade for Raiders EDGE Maxx Crosby.

    Multiple league sources tell Bonsignore that the Raiders would revisit the idea of trading Crosby away “if the right offer was made.” According to Bonsignore’s sources, the 49ers could make a play for him if they so desire. The Raiders nearly traded Crosby to the Ravens earlier this offseason, but the Ravens cancelled the deal due to concerns over a “degenerative issue” in his knee. Per Bonsignore, if Crosby “returns to terrorizing Raiders’ practices during training camp, he’ll put all concerns to rest,” and “the Raiders will be flooded with calls from interested teams.” The 49ers hope to make a Super Bowl run this season. Adding Crosby to their pass rush makes sense. Williams, the 49ers’ EDGE in reference, is currently recovering from a torn ACL and it is unclear whether he will be able to play in Week 1. At 22 years old, he is more of a long-term option anyway, and the Raiders are currently rebuilding. This framework is interesting and could work well for both sides. Stay tuned.

    ESPN’s Kris Rhim reports that when Chargers QB Justin Herbert threw in team drills during mandatory minicamp practices, “the results were uneven.”

    New Chargers OC Mike McDaniel reduced Herbert’s throwing frequency in spring practices in an effort to keep Herbert’s arm fresh later in the season. Herbert is instead focused on adjusting his shotgun footwork according to McDaniel’s unorthodox, yet often successful preferences. According to Rhim, this led to Herbert and his receivers frequently being “just out of sync on timing” in team drills. That said, Rhim believes that this is " an expected part of implementing a new offense but something that will need to improve during training camp.” We agree. This is not overly concerning, but it will be worthwhile to follow up on Herbert’s connection with his pass catchers.

    The Athletic’s Mike DeFabo believes TE Pat Freiermuth will be the Steelers’ “go-to pass-catching tight end” this season.

    The Steelers notably signed TE Darnell Washington to a four-year, $42 million contract extension this offseason, but DeFabo believes Freiermuth is still the team’s TE1. He expects Washington to continue operating as a receiving threat, “especially in the red zone,” but he is apparently stuck in the TE2 role. Washington’s profile is certainly more intriguing, but he may be best viewed as a boom-bust backup option in best ball for now.

    The Athletic’s Mike DeFabo reports that he has Steelers RB/WR Eli Heidenreich “penciled in for the practice squad.”

    DeFabo wonders whether Steelers coach Mike McCarthy will be “willing to open up the playbook for Heidenreich and how does the rookie fare in pass protection?” If McCarthy is willing to design plays for Heidenreich, and the youngster can be trusted to keep QB Aaron Rodgers safe from oncoming pass rushers, it is possible he earns a spot on the game-day roster. If not, he may need to spend 2026 refining his skill set while RB Jaylen Warren works on becoming Rodgers’ “new check-down favorite.” That said, DeFabo adds that “an injury or a surprising training camp performance could change things positively for Heidenreich. Keep an eye on him, but temper expectations.

    Bleacher Report’s James Palmer believes that if a starting quarterback gets injured in training camp or in the regular season, 49ers QB Mac Jones would be the team’s top trade target.

    This is admittedly speculation, not breaking news, but the idea certainly makes sense. Palmer also believes that the 49ers could “probably” get the other team to “overpay a little bit.” Again, this tracks, especially if a playoff contender wants to keep their season alive. Palmer thinks Jones is also already aware of this being a potential scenario. That said, the 49ers added $300,000 in incentives to the final year of Jones’ contract, which happens to be this upcoming season. They wanted to keep him happy after how well he handled spot starts for QB Brock Purdy in 2025, and they could always choose to keep him in-house, given his reliability.

    The Athletic’s Nate Atkins thinks the Rams selected TE Max Klare “in the second round this year to get ahead of the learning curve” for a potential role in 2027.

    The Rams field a deep tight end room, and Atkins expects the personnel to undergo turnover in the next year or so. Second-year TE Terrance Ferguson could function as the de facto No. 3 wide receiver while TE Colby Parkinson continues “to be a focal point on third downs and in the red zone in this three-tight end offense” this season. He adds that Klare could get involved on “some yards-after-catch designs and wrinkles this season,” but it does not sound like Klare is due for a fantasy-friendly role in 2026.

    The Athletic’s Nate Atkins believes Rams WR Konata Mumpfield “could be the primary backup on the perimeter” if WR Puka Nacua or WR Davante Adams miss time.

    Mumpfield enters his second NFL season after posting a 10/92/1 receiving line in the regular season last year. He chipped in three catches for 22 yards in the playoffs. Were he to get a spot start, he is not guaranteed to be fantasy-relevant. Atkins lists sixth-round rookie WR CJ Daniels as the most likely player to assume No. 3 wide receiver duties, primarily due to his blocking. He also has some contested-catch ability. Mumpfield is a name to know for 2026, but he is unlikely to meaningfully contribute in the box score if Nacua and Adams are healthy.

    New Orleans Football’s Nick Underhill believes Saints WR Jordyn Tyson’s route running strengths fit well with QB Tyler Shough’s passing preferences.

    Underhill compared Tyson’s best routes with Shough’s highest-targeted areas of the field and declared, “it’s the same diagram.” Coincidentally, Tyson’s route tree closely overlaps with that of No. 1 WR Chris Olave. Underhill believes that this dynamic will allow coach Kellen Moore to use Tyson and Olave interchangeably. They will both line up in the perimeter and in the slot. Underhill believes Olave will remain the team’s top pass catcher “for the near future,” but eventually both he and Tyson will work as two “top receivers.” Tyson missed most of spring practices with a hamstring injury, but Underhill said he will not worry about the issue unless Tyson misses training camp. Underhill closed the segment by saying a 55/700/5 receiving line on 90 targets is a “safe projection” for Tyson’s rookie season, though he believes Tyson is capable of doing more. The “safe” stat line equates to 155.0 PPR points and would have made him the WR40 last season.

    Will McFadden of the Falcons’ official team site notes that Zachariah Branch was “a big part of the wide receiver rotation” during OTAs and minicamp.

    Branch was highly effective on manufactured touches at Georgia and the Falcons could use a wideout who specializes in YAC. He stayed after practices to get extra reps on the jugs machine and got reps as both a kick and punt returner. Those may not have direct impacts on his fantasy value, but it can’t hurt to see him doing the little things every day. He will likely top out as the team’s third receiver to start the year. That role could quickly grow if he outshines Jahan Dotson and Olamide Zaccheaus.
