According to Fowler, the Patriots don’t want to rush Barmore’s recovery and won’t force him on the field until he’s fully ready to go. Barmore was diagnosed with blood clots back in late July and was placed on the reserve/NFI list during roster cutdowns. Barmore totaled a career-high 64 tackles and 8.5 sacks last season and was recently signed to a four-year contract extension. His absence would be a tough blow to a Patriots defense that ranked 15th last season and allowed the seventh-fewest yards per game.

It’s not where we’d expect to hear Carr dive into his injury status, but speaking at a church in Las Vegas over the weekend, Carr said he and the team has been “in constant communication” regarding his injury, and downplayed any reports that suggested otherwise. There have been wide spread discussions about Carr’s injury at this point, which Underdog’s James Palmer said the team had been aware of since it first occurred. Others have speculated that Carr is attempting to use the injury as a way to force his way out of New Orleans. It’s safe to say this won’t be the last time we talk about Carr’s shoulder, but the Saints selection of Tyler Shough in the second round shows they are clearly planning for a future without him — whether in 2025 or later.

Moore, 25, caught a career-high 61 passes last season and finished second on the Browns with 538 receiving yards. The former second-round pick would likely be viewed more as a role player if he did sign with the Bills, as Keon Coleman, Khalil Shakir, and Joshua Palmer are expected to see the majority of snaps in three receiver sets. Moore is a talented receiver who could provide solid depth to a strong receiving corps, but it’d be hard to envision him being any kind of a difference-maker.

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. He earned First-Team All-AAC honors with 42 tackles and 6.5 sacks. He saved his best for last, posting six sacks in the final four games, powering SMU’s playoff run. His 9.20 RAS backs up the tape: 4.86 s 40-yard dash 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 on passing downs.

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 (5.04s 40-yard dash, 1.73s 10-yard split) and vertical pop (31.5-inch 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 seven 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 one-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 spending last year in semi-retirement. 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 at the end of the 2023 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.
