  • Cut by Jags
    The Jaguars waived White (knee) with an injury designation Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Advice: This move comes as no surprise, as White suffered a torn ACL during practice Monday and would have missed a substantial amount of the Jaguars' 2024 campaign, if not all of it. If White clears waivers, he'll revert to Jacksonville's injured reserve. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:25 pm

  • Dealing with illness
    Nailor has missed the first two days of Minnesota's mandatory minicamp with an illness, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: According to Lewis, Nailor was tearing it up during the first few days of the Vikings' OTAs, but he's now dealing with an illness. The 25-year-old wide receiver out of Michigan State appeared in just six games for Minnesota last season, catching three of his six targets for 29 yards while playing 94 offensive snaps. Once Nailor moves past this illness, he's expected to compete for a depth role in the Vikings' wideout room behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:54 pm

  • Impresses offensive coordinator
    Patriots offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt said Tuesday that Maye has made a good early impression during voluntary workouts,Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: Van Pelt's comments came before Tuesday's session, when Maye took snaps as the No. 2 quarterback behind Jacoby Brissett after having previously been third in the pecking order. Meanwhile, Van Pelt reiterated that Brissett is viewed as the team's top signal-caller at this stage, adding that there's no timetable for when Maye -- the No. 3 overall pick in April's draft -- might ascend to the top of the depth chart.

  • Dropped by Steelers
    The Steelers waived Gathings on Wednesday, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Advice: The 23-year-old tight end was picked up by the Steelers just last week, but the team has now decided to move in a different direction. Gathings also spent time with the Chiefs' practice squad in 2023, and he will now look elsewhere to appear in his first ever NFL game. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:31 pm

  • Could return next week
    Thompson-Robinson (hip) had an MRI earlier in the week that showed encouraging results with no setbacks, Brad Stainbrook of 247Sports.com reports.

    Advice: The UCLA product missed the remainder of the Browns' 2023 campaign after sustaining a hip subluxation during the team's Week 15 win over the Texans. However, he could be now nearing a return to the field. Thompson-Robinson's most recent MRI indicated more promising results, and if his body responds well to the increased workload this week, he has a chance to participate in Cleveland's mandatory minicamp starting June 11. Once DTR is back to full health, he'll compete with Jameis Winston and Tyler Huntley for the Browns' top backup quarterback role. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:25 pm

  • Dealing with minor shoulder injury
    Olave injured his shoulder in the weight room a few weeks ago and has been wearing a no-contact jersey at recent OTA practices, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Advice: The injury is seemingly a minor one, considering Olave has been a full practice participant while donning the no-contract jersey, per Paras. Olave should be fine for the start of training camp in late July, at which point he'll be the clear centerpiece of the Saints passing game under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak.

  • No timetable for practice return
    Chubb (knee) said Wednesday that he doesn't have a timeline for returning to practice, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Advice: Chubb had surgery Sept. 29 to address an MCL tear and then another procedure Nov. 14 to repair a torn ACL. The left knee injury he suffered Week 2 last season also included damage to his meniscus and medial capsule, further adding to the difficulty of rehabbing the second severe injury to the same knee during his playing career. He previously tore three ligaments in the knee during his time at college in Georgia in 2015, though in that case, his ACL remained intact. Chubb seems unlikely to be ready for the start of training camp and might also miss the start of the regular season, but he anticipates making a full recovery and playing in games at some point in 2024. In the meantime, the Browns have Jerome Ford, D'Onta Foreman and Pierre Strong as their top running backs, with Nyheim Hines potentially pitching in as a pass-catching specialist.

  • Practicing after knee injury
    Palmer (knee) handled his most reps of the offseason during Tuesday's OTA session, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Palmer averaged a career-high 58.1 receiving yards per game last season, but he missed Weeks 9 through 14 with a knee sprain and then suffered another knee injury in the season finale. After spending part of the offseason rehabbing, Palmer has resumed practicing with teammates and might be the safest bet to start in a new-look Chargers offense under coordinator Greg Roman. The team moved on from wideouts Keenan Allen and Mike Williams (knee) this offseason before bringing in second-round pick Ladd McConkey and veteran DJ Chark. There's a breakout opportunity for Palmer in the fourth and final season of his rookie contract, if he can combine the volume he saw in 2022 (107 targets) with the big-play ability he flashed last year (15.3 yards per catch, career-high 11.2 aDOT). On the other hand, he's never been targeted on more than 18.1 percent of his routes in a season, even though Williams and Allen combined for only 39 appearances (out of a possible 68) the past two seasons.

  • Tears ACL
    White suffered a torn ACL during practice Monday, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.

    Advice: Jacksonville coach Doug Pederson referred to the injury as non-contact and said White might move to injured reserve, per Harvey. White signed with the Jaguars in April after catching 34 passes for 519 yards and six touchdowns as a senior at Western Carolina. Rotowire.com Monday, 5:03 pm
