Robert Griffin has resumed throwing
QB

Washington Redskins

Redskins QB Robert Griffin (knee) resumed throwing in late-April.  "Robert is doing extremely well as far as the timetable,'' RG3's dad said. "He's been doing a lot over time, he never stops. He was throwing some prior to the draft. Everything seems to be on cue. Everybody in the organization is targeting that season opener.''  Griffin's dad added that Griffin's rehab is ahead of where it was when he tore his ACL at Baylor back in 2009.  "He might be a little ahead of himself in terms of doing what he did then compared to now,'' he said. "He's smarter, stronger, wiser.''  RG3 remains a question mark for Week 1, but it's been so far, so good.

Bruce Irvin suspended 4 games
DL

Seattle Seahawks

The league has suspended Seahawks DE Bruce Irvin for 4 games for violating the performance-enhancing drugs policy.  That will likely leave Seattle's defense without its top 2 sack guys from last year to open the season.  DE Chris Clemons is working his way back from an ACL tear he suffered in the playoff win at Washington.  The Seahawks added DE Cliff Avril and DL Michael Bennett in free agency, so one could slide into Irvin's pass-rushing role to open the season.  The plan has been for Bennett to man the 3-technique tackle spot.  It's also a significant blow to the IDP prospects for Irvin, who would have carried serious sleeper potential.  At least the Seahawks open with Carolina, San Francisco, Jacksonville and Houston -- not the toughest slate of pass offenses.

Rob Gronkowski back updates
TE

New England Patriots

2 important updates on the Rob Gronkowski back story.  First, Pro Football Talk has learned that Gronk is awaiting a 2nd opinion but will "probably" need surgery to address the disc problem.  Second, we've learned more about the timetable for the procedure and recovery.  PFT reports that Gronk will go under the knife 3-4 weeks after the final forearm procedure.  That could be Monday, or it could be later if he needs that 5th surgery.  (Still following?)  Then Gronk will need 10 weeks of rehab after the back surgery, according to ESPN.  If our math is right, that means Gronk will be back in 13-14 weeks, assuming he doesn't need a 5th forearm surgery.  The 2013 season starts in 16 weeks.  If everything goes to plan, Gronk would be ready for Week 1.  But he won't do much in training camp or the preseason.  If he needs that 5th forearm surgery, all bets are off.

Rob Gronkowski might need back surgery
TE

New England Patriots

USA Today’s Mike Garafolo reports that Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski has a disc issue in his back that is “being examined and could require surgery.” ESPN’s Adam Schefter hears that the issue is considered minor and wouldn’t keep Gronk out longer than he’ll be sidelined with his forearm situation. “He’s going to be fine long term,” a person close to Gronk said. “[He’s] not worried about the short term, i.e. start of training camp.” Fantasy owners should be alarmed, though. Gronkowski is only 24, but the medical problems are starting to pile up. Remember that he missed the entire 2009 college season after undergoing surgery to repair a disc in his back, although this latest issue is reportedly unrelated. He also dealt with a hip problem for a chunk of last year. Gronk needs to be considered an injury-risk in fantasy drafts this summer – even if he’s ready to go for Week 1.

Reggie Bush compares Lions' offense to Saints'
RB

Detroit Lions

RB Reggie Bush sees a lot of similarities between the offense he's joining in Detroit and the one he played in in New Orleans.  “As far as from an offensive perspective it’s a lot like what we did in New Orleans,” Bush said. “It’s a lot of spread-open passing. Obviously we can attack downfield, and with the running game, a lot of screens, draws and stuff like that. Basically what I did in New Orleans, so running this offensive system has been pretty easy for me.”  HC Jim Schwartz has also mentioned that he plans to use Bush like the Saints did.  Bush averaged 8.7 carries and 4.9 catches per game in New Orleans -- 139 carries and 78 catches over 16 games.  Bush should see quite a bit more action on the ground with the Lions, and he could approach  78 catches.

1st round QBs winning championships

Still think waiting on QB can work, but all three champs in my three leagues all went QB first. Interestingly enough, the wait on QB guys wound up with Stafford, Big Ben, and Eli, looked fab, and they were the dormats. The problem with waiting on a QB, if you hit it, you hit it. If you miss it, well then......
