Terms weren’t announced. The former Texans stalwart has become a journeyman, spending 2022 with the Titans, 2023 with the Eagles, and 2024 with the Broncos. He didn’t start any games in Denver last year. He’ll play a role for the Lions in camp as they deal with Alex Anzalone holding out.

Breer believes Diggs is slated to play in Week 1 of the 2025 season as he recovers from a torn ACL suffered in Week 8 last season. Signing a three-year, $69 million deal with the Patriots this offseason, Diggs is slated to be Drake Maye’s No. 1 target, though he will come along more slowly working back from the ACL injury. If he is indeed playing Week 1, the 31-year-old should be viewed as a WR4 early in the season with WR3 upside as he gets healthier later in the year.

Heyward discussed the Steelers’ defense and swapping Minkah Fitzpatrick out for Ramsey. Though losing a playmaking defensive back in Fitzpatrick hurts, Heyward is confident in Ramsey’s versatility. He said, “Jalen is a ball-hawking DB that can play corner. He can play slot. He can play safety.” It is still unclear where on the field Ramsey will start, but Heyward believes Ramsey can offer value at any spot on the field. The versatility may come in handy for a secondary turning over from an important piece in Fitzpatrick.

While this development was expected, St. Brown’s comments confirm that Lions training camp will be worth following closely this summer. Prior reports indicated Morton could increase the Lions’ downfield passing rate this season, potentially leading to a larger role for Jameson Williams. Jahmyr Gibbs finished as the overall PPR RB1 last year despite totaling just the eighth-most touches (302). Could Morton shift more of the backfield’s workload toward him this year? Stay tuned.

Jones’ labrum injury was reported in May, and the team initially hoped he could return in time for training camp. Jones was drafted with the No. 91 overall pick and is viewed as a potential long-term option for RT Roger Rosengarten.

Things seem to be going well for both sides, though one would like to see pen put to paper sooner rather than later. Slater fully participated at mandatory minicamp after missing organized team activities this spring.

The report comes from The Athletic’s Daniel Popper, who gave no further details on the matter. Williams is unlikely to be a reliable fantasy option this year, in his age-30 season. Pending good health, he will haul in a few deep passes from time to time, though.

Ross ends his Chiefs tenure having caught 6-of-12 targets for 53 yards. The once-promising prospect suffered a neck and spine injury, causing him to miss his 2020 college season, and he has been unable to return to his pre-injury form since. He will likely find a spot on another team’s practice squad.

Per The Athletic’s Daniel Popper, Stanford doctors have been treating Harris’ eye injury, and ESPN’s Kris Rhim reports that “the Chargers haven’t seen the extent of Harris’ injury yet.” Harris’ agent previously said the injury is “superficial” in nature, and he expects Harris to be ready for the regular season. Hopefully, the Chargers’ team doctors agree with the assessment.

Smith spent his first two NFL seasons with the Giants (2021-2022), logged time on the Jets and Raiders’ practice squads in 2023 before being signed by the Browns in 2024. He concludes his career with two tackles and six quarterback pressures on defense, plus three more tackles on special teams.

Per Cabot, the team has “stressed to Judkins and his agent, Todd France, that Judkins must make his domestic incident the high priority over football.” The Browns’ intent is open to interpretation. One read, however, is that the team is clearly distancing itself from the second-round rookie. Yesterday, ProFootballTalk’s Mike Florio wrote that Judkins could be placed on paid leave after signing his contract. Just one year ago, the Browns’ fellow second-round pick and former Ohio State player, DT Mike Hall Jr., was placed on paid leave after being charged with domestic violence. It appears as though even the paid leave option may be unpalatable for the organization this time.
