Henry now has more 200 yard rushing games (7) than any player in NFL history. He wasn’t targeted in the passing game, because why would you need to? Three of his touchdowns came in the first half, and he routinely ran over completely overmatched Green Bay defenders in yet another impressive effort for the 31-year-old. Keaton Mitchell was somehow able to get nine carries for 31 yards as his (beyond) clear backup on a day where Baltimore rushed for 307 total yards in Lambeau Field. Even if Lamar Jackson (back) returns for Week 18 against the Steelers, Henry is going to be the focal point of the Ravens’ offense for that contest. He has to be.

The Chargers signed Kolar and David Njoku in the offseason, adding them to a tight end room containing Oronde Gadsden. Popper mentions Njoku and Gadsden both “impact the game more as receivers than blockers.” Kolar is the best run blocker among the trio with pass-catching upside, finishing last season with 10 receptions for 142 yards behind Isaiah Likely and Mark Andrews with the Ravens. All three are capable pass-catchers and allows the Chargers to use three-tight-end sets, something Popper said the team was testing out in practice Wednesday. Njoku and Gadsden will likely have more fantasy relevancy as pass-catchers but Popper believes Kolar’s “complete skill set” can make him the TE1 in Mike McDaniel’s offense.

Jackson was otherwise mum on contract extension talks, saying he wants to “keep those conversations private.” He arrived at OTAs after missing the first few practices last week sparked speculation of contract disagreements; Jackson gave his first public press conference since the Ravens were eliminated in Week 18 last season on Wednesday. While he is due for an extension, Jackson and the Ravens were unable to come to an agreement earlier in the offseason and the team instead restructured the 29-year-old’s contract. There appears to be no tension as a result of extension talks, with Jackson saying he would “absolutely” want to stay in Baltimore and saying head coach Jesse Minter and his new staff feel like “a breath of fresh air.” With a new offense under OC Declan Doyle, Jackson is at OTAs to learn the playbook and get situated. A bounce-back 2026 season would increase the price on a potential new contract the Ravens would offer him in the future.

Miller mentioned he has lobbied publicly and privately for a return to the Broncos, but knows it is out of his control. The 37-year-old edge rusher tallied nine sacks for the Commanders last season, showing he still has something left in the tank as part of a pass-rushing rotation. He added that he would “love to assist and be a vice president to Bo Nix and Courtland Sutton.” The Broncos don’t necessarily need an addition at outside linebacker but having a veteran return to his original franchise could add some value from a leadership standpoint. Miller has not received much interest as a free agent, though he is still looking to return for his 17th NFL season.

Faulk’s rookie deal is worth $17.1 million and is fully guaranteed. The Titans traded up with the Bills to land Faulk at the end of the first round, giving them the fifth-year option at the end of his deal. At 6'6/285, Faulk is a big-bodied defensive end who can defend the run and rush the passer. Robert Saleh will need to get the most out of him if he is going to turn the Titans’ defense around in 2026.

Koo got a tryout with the Saints after the NFL Draft but did not land a contract in The Big Easy. Now he’ll compete with Lenny Krieg and Cade York for the kicker job in New York. Aftering being cut by the Giants and Falcons in 2025, this may be Koo’s last chance to make an NFL roster ahead of Week 1.

Campbell has yet to officially announce his retirement, but he will likely release a statement in the coming days. Assuming he is hanging up the cleats, Campbell played seven seasons in the pros. He appeared in one game for the Cowboys in 2025 and did not record any stats. Campbell looked like an NFL-caliber slot receiver early in his career, but injuries constantly got in the way. He finished his career with 123 catches for 1,117 yards and six scores.

Flannigan-Fowles appeared in 10 games for the Giants last year and was credited with three starts. He totaled one sack, three TFLs, and 33 combined tackles. Flannigan-Fowles also logged over 100 special teams snaps for the sixth time in as many pro seasons. He will be a solid depth option for the Bills.

Mauigoa’s deal will be worth roughly $31 million over four years. It also includes a fully guaranteed fifth-year team option. This leaves only Arvell Reese unsigned from the Giants’ 2026 class. Mauigoa was a career right tackle at Miami, but he’s expected to start at right guard as a rookie.

Chargers GM Joe Hortiz said both players were ahead of schedule when asked about them a week before the NFL Draft. Slater suffered a season-ending ruptured a patellar tendon last August and did not play a snap in 2025. Alt was unable to recover from a high-ankle sprain during the season and finished the year on injured reserve. All signs point to the Chargers having their elite tackle duo healthy for the start of the year. With an improved offensive line and Mike McDaniel on the headset, this is truly a make-or-break year for Justin Herbert.

According to the Indy Star’s Joel A. Erickson, Jones did everything in individual drills. That’s a good sign for Jones, who is a little under seven months removed from the torn Achilles tendon he suffered in Week 14. He still has two months until training camp, putting him well on track to be ready by Week 1. The next step will be participating in team drills. For now, Riley Leonard and Anthony Richardson will get some extra reps in practice, though it doesn’t look like either player will be needed in Jones’ place to start the year.
