  • Active at OTAs
    Butler (wrist) is participating at Washington's organized team activities, Stephen Whyno of the team's official website reports.

    Advice: Butler missed the final two games of the 2023 season due to a wrist injury. The severity of the injury was unknown at that time, but his presence at OTAs indicates his health is back up to par. He projects to start at free safety in the upcoming season opposite Jeremy Chinn.

  • Participating at OTAs
    Allen (knee) is a full participant at Washington's organized team activities, Zach Selby of the team's official website reports.

    Advice: Allen missed one game during the 2023 season, which happened to be the regular-season finale. The cause of his absence was a knee injury. His full participation at OTAs indicates his health is back up to par. The 2017 first-round pick accumulated 53 tackles (30 solo) and 5.5 sacks last year, and he projects to once again start on the Commanders' interior defensive line in the upcoming season.

  • Fowler: Aiyuk eyeing contract similar to ARSB
    Speaking on NFL Live, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler said “the benchmark” for a Brandon Aiyuk contract extension “is Amon-Ra St. Brown.”

    Advice: Fowler went on to point out that St. Brown is getting $28 million per year on his new four-year deal, adding that Aiyuk “doesn’t have to be the highest paid [wide receiver] in the league” but that he thinks he deserves to be paid like a top wide receiver. Aiyuk has totaled back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons for the 49ers and went for a career-high 1,342 yards in 2023 while scoring seven touchdowns. He’s currently set to earn $14.124 million in 2024 after the 49ers picked up his fifth-year option, but is hoping to get long-term security before the start of the season. It was reported earlier this month by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport that the 49ers are planning on keeping Aiyuk for the long term, meaning an extension could be coming before Week 1. Aiyuk has not been present at voluntary OTAs. Rotoworld Today, 3:40 pm

  • Drops weight, awaits extension
    Coach Mike McDaniel said at OTAs that Tagovailoa, who continues to vie for a contract extension beyond his fifth-year option, has dropped between 10 and 15 pounds this offseason, Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post reports.

    Advice: Tagovailoa has been an on-and-off participant at OTAs for Miami, but McDaniel made clear that his attendance schedule has been a non-issue. The quarterback added weight last offseason in order to protect himself, and coupled with training to reduce impact taken when falling to the ground, that allowed Tagovailoa to play a full 17-game slate for the first time in his NFL career. It appears that the signal-caller is now putting in the work to get more mobile while keeping the traits that have added to his durability, with McDaniel noting that Tagovailoa is looking "svelte." Both sides will continue negotiations on a hopeful multi-year extension, though Alain Poupart of SI.com notes that the possibility of Tagovailoa playing out the 2024 season on his fifth-year option can't be entirely dismissed.

  • Likely RB3 for Washington
    With the Commanders not selecting a running back in last month's draft, Rodriguez profiles as the team's No. 3 option at running back behind Austin Ekeler and Brian Robinson,Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Per Standig, Rodriguez, who's presumably past his late season ankle issue, appears to be the clear early-down backup to Robinson, but with Ekeler also in the mix and destined to see plenty of touches, notably in passing situations, Rodriguez doesn't initially have a path to steady volume as the 2024 season approaches. As a rookie, the 2023 sixth-rounder recorded 51 carries for 247 yards and two TDs to go along with two catches for 12 yards in 13 regular-season contests. Also currently in the Commanders' depth RB mix are Jeremy McNichols, Austin Jones and Michael Wiley. Rotowire.com Today, 2:33 pm

  • Past hamstring injury
    Coach Kevin Stefanski relayed earlier this week that Hopkins has recovered from the hamstring injury he sustained last December, Scott Petrak of BrownsZone.com reports.

    Advice: The injury sidelined Hopkins for the Browns' last two regular-season games, as well as the team's playoff loss to the Texans. Per Petrak, Hopkins wasn't initially present for this week's voluntary OTAs, but once the kicker returns to the mix, he'll be set to lead a kicking corps that also includes Cade York and Lucas Havrisik.

  • Stetson Bennett a full participant in Rams OTAs
    Stetson Bennett has been participating in full at Rams OTAs.

    Advice: Bennett, who was drafted in the fourth round of last year’s draft, missed all of the regular season while on the non-football illness list. Rams GM Les Snead said he believes Bennett’s time away was “very beneficial” while adding that Bennett was “exhausted” after leading Georgia to back-to-back national championships in 2021 and 2022. Bennett is expected to compete with Jimmy Garoppolo for the backup job behind Matthew Stafford this offseason. Rotoworld Today, 1:05 pm

  • Back in gear
    Williams is participating in drills during OTAs, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.

    Advice: Williams went to Baltimore's injured reserve list with an undisclosed injury back in January, but he's now apparently healthy enough for football activities again. After the Ravens added Nate Wiggins and T.J. Tampa during April's draft, Williams might have to fight just for a spot on the 2024 roster. Rotowire.com Today, 1:05 pm

  • Nearly back to full speed
    Trice said Wednesday that he'll be fully clear for training camp, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

    Advice: Trice was forced to miss his entire rookie season last year due to a ruptured ACL he sustained in August, but he's now on track to play in 2024. However, Pittsburgh traded for Donte Jackson in March and drafted Ryan Watts in April, so Trice won't be guaranteed playing time or even a roster spot. Rotowire.com Today, 12:34 pm
