This was the expected outcome for Conklin, who exited Week 1’s win early in the game after having his knee collided into while trying to protect Deshaun Watson. Conklin was carted from the field and in visible pain after going down. Rookie offensive tackle Dawand Jones took over for Conklin, and could be in line for the Week 2 start against the Steelers.

Macdonald celebrated Arroyo’s ability to do “X-receiver type of things,” which GM John Schneider prefaced by saying that “some” Seahawks coaches had wondered if Arroyo is actually an X-receiver during the pre-draft process. While Arroyo is, of course, a tight end, Macdonald and Schneider’s shared exuberance here is worth noting. Arroyo slid to the 50th overall pick, in part, due to the 2022 season-ending knee injury that caused him to miss parts of the 2023 season as well. Schneider acknowledged the injury concerns and closed by saying that if Arroyo had not missed time, his talent level is commensurate with that of a “top-15 pick.” Fantasy managers must acknowledge that, at least for now, veteran Noah Fant holds the No. 1 spot on the depth chart, which effectively pours cold water on an Arroyo TE1 re-draft campaign. Still, Arroyo’s development is worth monitoring throughout training camp.

Commanders’ owner Josh Harris has reportedly said he hopes to open the new stadium in 2030, which would keep the Commanders in their current home stadium, Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland, through that date. The Commanders enjoyed success playing in RFK Stadium from 1961-1996, playing in five Super Bowls, and winning three, during that span. The contract for a new stadium at the old site is expected to exceed $3 billion and it is unknown if public funding will be allocated for the project. The deal is expected to be announced officially on Monday morning.

A late bloomer who flipped the switch at SMU after a rotational stint at Miami, Harrison-Hunte (6’3/280) exploded onto the scene in 2024, earning First-Team All-AAC honors with 42 tackles, 8.5 TFLs, and 6.5 sacks. He saved his best for last, posting 6 sacks in the final 4 games, powering SMU’s playoff run. His 9.20 RAS backs up the tape: 4.86 Forty with elite 10- and 20-yard splits make him a quick-twitch penetrator with one-gapping explosiveness. His pass rush arsenal includes a nasty arm-over and solid bend when playing low. While his pad level and run anticipation can waver, he brings heat when turned loose. PFF credited him with 30 pressures, 21 stops, and a strong 82.2 defensive grade in 2024. Scheme-specific? Maybe. But in an attacking front, Harrison-Hunte can thrive as a rotational three tech with developmental upside as a penetrating DT in a 4-3 base front.

Cam Horsley (6’3/312) enters the 2025 NFL Draft as a battle-tested, high-floor interior defender with four years of starting experience at Boston College. A stout lineman with a strong 8.54 RAS, Horsley flashes quickness off the snap (5.04 Forty, 1.73 10-yard split) and vertical pop (31.5” jump) but makes his money as a gap-plugger with violent hands and a low center of gravity. He consistently held the point of attack in the Eagles’ 4-3 front, tallying 42 tackles and 7 TFLs in 2024 while earning All-ACC honors. Horsley thrives with heavy strikes, anchor strength, and short-area agility, but his pass-rush arsenal remains underdeveloped. His pad level can rise late, allowing blockers to redirect him, and he can be sealed when trying to shoot gaps. Still, his durability, hand strength, and physicality make him a rock-solid rotational nose or 1-tech prospect.

Tomasson’s report affirms prior reporting on Greenlaw’s injury, saying Greenlaw will avoid surgery and that the recovery is comprised of “rehab only.” It seems as though Greenlaw has avoided serious injury and should be able to hit the ground running by late July. Unless he experiences complications, Broncos fans can expect to see him on the field in Week 1.

The 2019 fifth-rounder spent five seasons with the Raiders before taking a year off in 2023. He produced a career-best season in 2021, catching 103-of-124 targets for 1,038 yards and nine touchdowns. Renfrow has 1,881 slot snaps and 709 perimeter snaps to his name, though he curiously performs more efficiently, on a per-route basis, when lined up as a perimeter receiver. If he has anything left in the tank, the 29-year-old Renfrow may be able to compete for the team’s No. 4 wide receiver role. He is unlikely to perform as a reliable flex option, though.

Dust is still settling following Greenlaw’s quad injury. In the initial report on the matter, multiple sources indicated that Greenlaw could “miss a substantial portion” of the 2025 NFL season after suffering a torn quad. Ensuing reports, citing a single “source with knowledge of the injury and the timeline,” suggest Greenlaw should be fine after a multi-week rehab program. While there is likely more to be learned here, we take the follow-up reports as a positive indicator regarding Greenlaw’s odds of playing in 2025.

The Broncos signed Greenlaw to a three-year, $31.5 million contract in March. He previously suffered a season-ending Achilles tendon rupture in Super Bowl LVIII, of the 2023-2024 NFL season. Last season, Greenlaw returned to play in Week 15, logging 30 snaps, plus four more snaps in Week 16, before being shut down due to knee and calf soreness stemming from his Achilles tendon recovery.

Ivey played at Georgia Tech for his first two seasons, starting 11 games with 32 tackles and 6 TFLs as a redshirt freshman in 2021. He then spent the next three seasons as a fixture on the Ole Miss defensive line, sliding between three tech and EDGE while recording a team-high 11.5 TFLs in 2023. The Suwanee, GA native raised his game last year, playing almost exclusively EDGE and earning a pristine 90.6 overall defensive grade that ranked top-10 nationally. A smothering finisher, Ivey missed just five tackles in the last two seasons, spanning 1,102 snaps and 46 stops. A model of consistency, he recorded a 72nd percentile pass rush grade in each of his five collegiate campaigns. Possesses a long-cut 6’6/274 frame with 33 ½ inch arms after being billed at 285 at Ole Miss. Ivey moves very fluidly for his size, and does not appear that heavy at first glance. He played a good deal of 3-Tech, and did well penetrating but he can get high sometimes, affecting his base in run support. Ivey is athletic and cagey, but doesn’t get fortified when taking on pulling guards and double teams. His positional versatility and ability to create havoc in the pass game from multiple alignments should keep him employed for a long time.

Ogbah, a 2016 second-round pick, joins a trio of former first-round picks in the Jaguars’ EDGE rotation. The former Dolphin dealt with triceps and biceps injuries in each of the last three seasons but managed to appear in 17-of-18 possible games in 2024, tallying 33 quarterback pressures and six sacks. He should remain effective in a part-time role this year.
