Arizona showed us what it thinks of RB Jeremiyah Love’s talent by drafting him third overall this spring, to a team with plenty of needs. But coaches aren’t doing anything to anoint him an immediate backfield leader at the start of camp. Free-agent addition Tyler Allgeier reportedly opened with the starters at the team’s first open practice, and OC Nathaniel Hackett mentioned James Conner first when asked broadly about the outlook for his 2026 backfield.

Nick Kosmider of The Athletic deems RB J.K. Dobbins one of the Broncos' 10 most important players for 2026, putting him ahead of backfield mates RJ Harvey and Jonah Coleman.

Chiefs HC Andy Reid said Friday that WR Rashee Rice (knee) “is doing great” and is “cleared to go" for the start of training camp. It was a tumultuous offseason for Rice, who had right knee surgery in mid-May and was sentenced to 30 days in jail just a few days later. But he's not expected to face further punishment from the league, and his knee appears on track for Week 1.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (knee) has been cleared to participate fully in training camp, HC Andy Reid said Friday. "He's been working so hard that you have a pretty good feel that he's in a good place," Reid added. "We've got to see how things go and not make any predictions about [Week 1]." Mahomes is still only a little over seven months removed from tearing his left ACL and LCL, but all signs continue to point toward him being ready for the opener. The bigger story from Friday, though, was Mahomes confirming that he plans to run less this season.

Multiple insiders expect the Seahawks to deploy another committee backfield in 2026. And that's even before RB Zach Charbonnet is ready to return from his torn ACL. Seattle spent the 32nd pick of this spring's draft on RB Jadarian Price, but RB George Holani and potentially RB Emanuel Wilson are also expected to factor in this season.

The Giants are not placing WR Malik Nabers on the physically unable to perform list at the start of training camp, according to multiple reports.

Panthers Edge Nic Scourton tore his right ACL in Thursday's practice and is likely headed for season-ending surgery, according to multiple reports. He'll get a second opinion, but these initial diagnoses rarely prove to be wrong.

RB Joe Mixon has told former Bengals teammates that he doesn't expect to play again, according to insider Aaron Wilson. Mixon missed all of 2025 with a mysterious foot injury and hasn't surfaced this offseason.

WR Tyreek Hill admitted that he still has "no power" in his surgically repaired left leg. "So it's about 10 months after doing two surgeries," Hill said in a video on Wednesday. "My left leg is the one that I injured. I have no power in my left leg, so I'm trying to regain all the power back in my left leg. But it's one day at a time."
