It was clear the Chiefs had big plans for RB Kenneth Walker when they signed him to a 3-year, $43 million deal earlier this offseason. But that plan might be even bigger than we initially thought. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports from Chiefs camp that Walker will get the "majority" of the carries and can "do everything," including playing a big role in the passing game.
It's been clear for a while now that Travis Hunter will play a bigger role on Jacksonville's defense this year than last. It's been less clear what that will mean for his playing time on offense. But HC Liam Coen gave us a strong signal when talking about Hunter's role with ESPN's Jeremy Fowler recently.
Day five of Bills’ training camp highlighted the connection between Josh Allen and his newest weapon, D.J. Moore, per WIVB-TV’s Carl Jones.
WR Zay Flowers has agreed to a four-year, $140 million extension with the Ravens that includes $108 million guaranteed, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Eagles WRs DeVonta Smith and Makai Lemon are sidelined on Tuesday with hamstring injuries. There's been nothing to suggest either is serious, but we all know how tricky hamstring injuries can be for skill-position players.
Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson has continued to struggle in pass protection in camp, according to The Athletic's Chad Graff. That was a big problem for Henderson as a rookie last year. He allowed 8 hurries and 3 sacks on 48 pass-blocking snaps, ranking 34th out of 40 qualifying RBs in Pro Football Focus pass-blocking grade.
Jets TE Kenyon Sadiq suffered "a little setback" in his recovery from spring hernia surgery and will miss some time, HC Aaron Glenn said Tuesday. Sadiq is expected to be ready for Week 1, but the missed time hurts the rookie's chances of making an early-season fantasy impact.
The Commanders continue to head toward the season with little proven depth at WR behind Terry McLaurin. That looks like good news for TE Chig Okonkwo, as well as former Titans first-round pick Treylon Burks.
ESPN's Dan Graziano visited Chargers camp this week and came away with this note: "Keaton Mitchell, if healthy, should be a factor in this offense."
Bijan Robinson has agreed to a three-year extension with the Falcons. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the contract carries a base value of $66.75 million, with a max value of $75 million. That's a range of $22.25 million per year to $25 million. That eclipses Saquon Barkley's previous high for average annual value among RBs at $20.6 million.
Seahawks beat writer Gregg Bell writes that QB Sam Darnold and WR Rashid Shaheed have a "rapidly improving connection."
Colts QB Daniel Jones has been a full participant in training camp, according to The Athletic's James Boyd, taking every first-team rep across the first four training camp practices. Teammates say he looks like the same guy who opened last season strong before suffering a fibula fracture and then a torn Achilles.
The Athletic’s Zac Jackson believes Browns QB Shedeur Sanders “might be taking the lead” over Deshaun Watson in the competition for the starting job. Sanders and Deshaun Watson have taken turns running the first-team offense, but Jackson suggested that the second-year QB has outplayed Watson so far.
Bears S Coby Bryant suffered a left knee injury in Monday's practice that's expected to cost him the next eight to 10 weeks, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Bryant hyperextended the knee and incured a bone bruise as well as a small fracture. He's not expected to need surgery.
Dolphins TE Greg Dulcich missed his second straight day of practice Monday, according to multiple reports. Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post reports that the injury "is not considered serious."
Patriots WR A.J. Brown dislocated his left thumb in Monday's practice but reportedly did not miss any time for it.
NFL insider Jordan Schultz reports that Browns rookie WR KC Concepcion "did not suffer anything serious" when he went down hard on his right shoulder at practice Monday. "The team is expecting him to be fine," Schultz added.
Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten got off to a strong start in training camp while RB Chris Rodriguez was limited coming off a foot injury. But Rodriguez was a full-go for Monday's padded practice and impressed, according to Sports Illustrated's John Shipley.
49ers WR Mike Evans missed Monday's practice with a quad strain, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. San Francisco already lost WR Ricky Pearsall for the season, and WR De'Zhaun Stribling (hamstring), WR Christian Kirk (calf), RB Kaelon Black (adductor), and RB Jordan James (rib) are also currently sidelined.
Update: NFL Network's Ian Rapoport calls Evans' injury "very minor."
