• Recovery going well
    Knight (shoulder) has been a limited participant in Lions' OTAs, Dave Birkett of The Detroit Free Press reports.

    Advice: Knight sustained a torn labrum and missed the Lions' final 12 games in 2023, but he's been cleared for seven-on-seven and light team work as of last week. The 23-year-old running back has also been ramping up his workload in hopes of returning for Detroit's mandatory minicamp. Once Knight is back at full health, he's expected to compete for a depth spot in the Lions' backfield ahead of the 2024 season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:38 pm

  • Sutton on Broncos minicamp: ‘I will be there’
    Courtland Sutton said, “I will be there,” when asked about whether or not he’d attend Broncos mandatory minicamp next week.

    Advice: It’s been a strange offseason for Sutton, who was the subject of trade rumors at one point but is now expected to remain with the team. The veteran receiver, who totaled 59 receptions for 772 yards and 10 touchdowns last season, is in search of a new contract and skipped voluntary OTAs last month. Whether a new contract comes his way is to yet to be determined, but it’s possible the Broncos prefer he play out the rest of his deal and they’ll decide next offseason whether they’re interested in re-upping with him on a new deal. Sutton is expected to open this season as the Broncos’ WR1, but emerging youngsters like Marvin Mims and Troy Franklin could challenge him for targets down the line. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:34 pm

  • Dropped by Patriots
    New England waived Luther on Thursday.

    Advice: Luther agreed to a reserve/future contract with the Patriots back in January, but the team has now decided to part ways with the 24-year-old wideout. The Gardner-Webb product will look elsewhere as he tries to make his NFL debut after going undrafted in 2023. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:27 pm

  • Rapoport: Seahawks sign veteran QB P.J. Walker
    Seahawks signed QB P.J. Walker, formerly of the Browns.

    Advice: Walker took the field in six games for the Browns last year, throwing for 674 yards, one touchdown and five interceptions via an underwhelming 48.6% completion rate. Walker is unlikely to threaten No. 2 quarterback Sam Howell’s role but can helpfully serve as a mentor, having bounced around the league since 2017. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:10 pm

  • Lands in Seattle
    The Seahawks are slated to sign Walker to a contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Advice: Walker gives Seattle a necessary third quarterback on the depth chart in advance of training camp. He'll now have an opportunity to compete for the No. 3 job behind Geno Smith and Sam Howell. Walker is among the league's more experienced depth options, as he suited up for 21 regular-season games from 2020-23. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:48 am

  • Report: Xavier Gipson “figures” to play slot role
    SNY’s Connor Hughes reported “The Jets’ three-receiver set figures to be Garrett Wilson, Xavier Gipson (slot) and Mike Williams.”

    Advice: Hughes went on to say, “Rookie Malachi Corley will work as a slot/gadget/returner,” though his early-third-round draft capital and post-catch quicks should earn him a role soon enough. Gipson, a 2023 undrafted free agent, makes for a reasonable rookie hurdle. Among NFL returners with at least 15 total returns, Gipson ranks and ties 13th in both yards per kickoff return (23.3) and yards per punt return (9.7), respectively, and his 55 total returns ranks No. 1. He averaged 10.9 yards per reception on 21 receptions but his 0.67 yards per route run belies his moderate receiving successes. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:55 am

  • Commanders sign K Ramiz Ahmed
    Commanders signed K Ramiz Ahmed.

    Advice: Ahmed spent two seasons kicking for the University of Nevada, converting on 40-of-44 extra point attempts and 15-of-20 field goals. He had offseason stints with the Bears in 2020 and the Packers in 2022 but never caught on with a regular-season roster. He kicked in six games for the Birmingham Stallions during the 2024 UFL season, going 10-for-13 on his attempts and 4-of-7 on distances of 40-plus yards. Ahmed is far from a lock to be the Commanders’ Week 1 kicker, as the team will likely bring in additional competition for training camp. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:30 am

  • Sitting out practice
    Pierce (foot) is not practicing Thursday, the final day of mandatory minicamp, as a precautionary measure, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

    Advice: Pierce hasn't practice this week after his foot was stepped on in a previous practice, but it doesn't appear that there's any worry about his status for training camp. The 2022 second-round pick is competing with rookie second-rounder Adonai Mitchell for No. 3 receiver reps behind Michael Pittman (knee) and Josh Downs, so missing any amount of time could portent a hit to Pierce's stock. In two seasons with the Colts, Pierce has averaged a mediocre 554 yards and two touchdowns, but he could've been held back by questionable quarterback play. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:20 am

  • Still managing soreness
    Richardson took a rest day at practice Thursday due to shoulder soreness, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Coach Shane Steichen said "there's nothing to worry about," per Boyd, and that Richardson would be in line to play were the Colts preparing for a game-scenario this weekend. Steichen added that Richardson had his shoulder checked Thursday morning, and it was confirmed that the quarterback is only dealing with soreness in his surgically repaired right shoulder. Richardson has been participating in 11-on-11 drills and throwing throughout OTAs, and some soreness as he ramps up his practice activities is to be expected. He remains on track to be full strength for the start of training camp late July. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:48 am
