Some notes from Seahawks practice today... DNPs: Julian Neal, Jamie Sheriff, Josh Jones, Jake Bobo, Jarran Reed. Jalen Milroe has had some rough days, but this wasn't one of them. Maybe his best practice I've seen with Seattle. A few really nice throws.
I TRIED to see if I saw Chris Rodriguez in these images and videos but I did not. Still searching..
Zach Charbonnet is a "potential close call" for Week 1, per @AlbertBreer. Charbonnet suffered a torn ACL during the Divisional Round back in January.

Even if Malik Nabers isn't quite 100%, he's still talented enough to be one of the league's best ⭐️
So far unable to unearth the surprise Jaylin Noel NFI Will update as soon as I get info
Wide receiver DJ Moore was traded to the Buffalo Bills from the Chicago Bears during the 2026 offseason.
Running back David Montgomery was traded to the Houston Texans from the Detroit Lions during the 2026 offseason.
Aidan O'Connell is the third quarterback on the Raiders' depth chart behind Kirk Cousins and Fernando Mendoza. HC Klint Kubiak indicated that both Mendoza and O'Connell will be pushed to challenge Cousins during training camp.
Fernando Mendoza, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, will begin training camp behind Kirk Cousins on the Raiders' depth chart. Mendoza split time with second- and third-team units during spring workouts. The Raiders organization (HC Klint Kubiak, GM John Spytek, and minority owner Tom Brady) decided to give Mendoza time to sit and learn from Cousins before getting his shot as a starter, despite his top-pick status.
Kirk Cousins will open training camp as the Raiders' starting quarterback ahead of No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza. Raiders HC Klint Kubiak stated "Kirk Cousins is the starting quarterback. He's the guy, and he's gonna get a ton of reps. And he deserves it because he's played really good football." Cousins received most first-team reps during spring workouts (OTAs and mandatory minicamp) and was signed in free agency to serve as the Week 1 starter while Mendoza learns from the sideline.

Fernando Mendoza, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, will begin training camp behind Kirk Cousins on the Raiders' depth chart. Mendoza split time with second- and third-team units during spring workouts. The Raiders' plan is to give Mendoza time to sit and learn from veteran Cousins before getting his shot as a starter, meaning he will not be the Week 1 starter despite his draft pedigree.

Giants tight end activated after passing his physical.
Rodgers will take the first-team reps as the Steelers' starter in what is his final season with the team. Coach Mike McCarthy confirmed the depth chart arrangement: 'Aaron will take the ones.' The Steelers are balancing Rodgers' preparation for his final season with the need to develop backup options and evaluate the future at the position, with McCarthy noting that 'The responsibility to get the starter ready is not only on the quarterback coach and the play caller, but it's also on the other quarterbacks.'
Allar, a third-round pick, is positioned as a potential heir apparent at quarterback for the Steelers. He will take third-group reps during training camp. The Steelers face a challenge in getting Allar enough reps to be ready to compete in 2027 while also preparing Aaron Rodgers for his final season and maintaining a backup option. Coach McCarthy emphasized the collective responsibility: 'The responsibility to get the starter ready is not only on the quarterback coach and the play caller, but it's also on the other quarterbacks.'
Howard has been demoted from the second-team quarterback role he held during the offseason. Coach Mike McCarthy's depth chart places Howard in the third group behind both Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph, with only rookie Drew Allar also in that tier. This represents a step back in the quarterback competition as the Steelers evaluate their future at the position.
Rudolph will begin training camp as the Steelers' No. 2 quarterback, a promotion from the offseason when Will Howard held the second-team reps. Coach Mike McCarthy confirmed the depth chart: 'Aaron will take the ones; Mason will start out with the second group; and Will and Drew will take the third-group reps.' This represents a change in the quarterback hierarchy as the Steelers evaluate their future at the position with Aaron Rodgers in his final season.
LaFleur said Marvin Harrison Jr. was dealing with cramps. MHJ had to stop practicing a couple times on Sunday.
Wide receiver Jaylin Noel was placed on the non-football injury list by the Texans.
Tank Dell avoided the PUP list to open Texans training camp after missing all of last season with a severe knee injury suffered in December 2024. Dell had indicated in June that he felt ready for the start of training camp, and the Texans' decision not to place him on the PUP list aligns with his assessment; he was able to do limited work during the offseason program. Dell had 98 catches for 1,376 yards and 10 touchdowns in his first two NFL seasons before the injury.

Mendoza demonstrates pocket mobility and composure under pressure, buying extra time by getting more depth on his drop without drifting too far out of the pocket when facing pass-rushers breaking through the offensive line, and throws off his back foot with proper hip rotation to maintain velocity and accuracy.
Mendoza executes advanced pre-snap reads and post-snap decision-making in the pocket, recognizing coverage weaknesses and shifting his eyes from the outside receiver to an open Cooper on a pylon route, then delivering a perfect pass on the run in stride for an explosive play despite facing third-and-long.
Mendoza demonstrates competence operating from under center, a key transition concern for the No. 1 pick moving to the NFL. Despite limited reps in this formation, he executes a clean throw off his back foot while navigating a collapsing pocket, showing he can handle the position's fundamental demands even when pass-rushers break through the line.
Cooper ran a pylon route—a staple in Klint Kubiak's playbook—where he gave a hard inside release to sell a vertical route before breaking toward the sideline at a 45-degree angle. The release got the nickel cornerback to open his hips to the middle, putting the corner in poor coverage position. Mendoza recognized this and threw a perfect pass on the run, hitting Cooper in stride for an explosive play.
Sarratt was isolated in a one-on-one matchup against a corner with no safety help on a go route into the end zone, where he caught a touchdown pass from Mendoza. The source notes the pass was placed perfectly with great trajectory—high but still catchable—on a play where the defense had three defenders covering nothing but grass on one side of the field.
Mendoza demonstrates strong pre-snap recognition and progression reading, particularly on bootleg plays. The source notes he starts his read with one receiver, shifts eyes to identify a defender in poor coverage, and immediately recognizes when a nickel cornerback is out of position to cover a pylon route, allowing him to throw a perfect pass on the run in stride.
Mendoza excels at placing throws into the end zone with high trajectory but still catchable positioning, beating tight coverage. The source highlights multiple examples where he puts air on passes to prevent tipping at the line while keeping the ball within receiver reach, demonstrating advanced ball placement and touch in the red zone.
Mendoza's subpar change of direction skills were evident on scrambles, requiring gather steps to pivot upfield, though once moving north-south his ability to read blocks and find rushing lanes came into play. This limitation in lateral agility is offset by his vision and ability to navigate tight spaces in the backfield.
Mendoza demonstrated strong decision-making and mobility on third-down situations, converting multiple third downs with both his legs and arm. The source notes he wisely pulled down a risky throw to avoid a potential interception, showed impressive vision navigating congested backfields, and consistently made clutch throws on money downs against Alabama's defense, suggesting he can execute in high-leverage situations.
Mendoza displays advanced pre-snap and post-snap decision-making in the pocket, starting his read with the outside receiver before shifting eyes to identify a nickel cornerback in poor coverage position on a pylon route. He executes a perfect pass on the run in stride to the receiver, converting a third-and-long situation into a scoring opportunity despite initial defensive pressure.
Mendoza demonstrates competence operating from under center, a key transition concern for the No. 1 pick moving to the NFL. Despite limited reps in this formation, he executes a clean throw off his back foot while buying time against pass-rush pressure, showing he can handle the position's mechanical demands even in imperfect pocket conditions.
Sarratt was featured in a one-on-one matchup against a corner with no safety help on a go route into the end zone. Mendoza immediately recognized the favorable matchup and threw a beautiful pass with excellent trajectory—high but still catchable—for a touchdown. This demonstrates Sarratt's ability to win vertical matchups and create scoring opportunities in the red zone.
In Indiana's Rose Bowl game, Cooper Jr. was featured in the short-game route concepts, running sit routes and other quick-hitting plays designed to attack Alabama's coverage. He was also used in slot positions running pylon routes—a staple in Klint Kubiak's playbook—where he would give a hard inside release before breaking toward the sideline.
The source notes that Mendoza's subpar change of direction skills showed up during scrambles, as he took a couple of gather steps to pivot upfield before finding rushing lanes. This limitation in lateral agility is offset by his ability to read blocks and locate openings once moving north-south, but it represents a measurable weakness in his mobility profile.
The source highlights Mendoza's ability to execute third-down conversions through both legs and arm, including scrambling to pick up first downs when short routes are taken away, running RPOs with proper reads on box count and edge defender movement, and throwing into the end zone with excellent ball placement under pressure. His performance demonstrates comfort in high-leverage situations and the ability to navigate congested backfields with vision and footwork.
In Indiana's 38-3 Rose Bowl victory over Alabama, Mendoza completed 14 of 16 passes (87.5%) for 192 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions, earning an elite 92.9 passing grade from Pro Football Focus—his highest mark as a passer for the season. He also recorded 38 rushing yards on five attempts (excluding sacks) with multiple third-down conversions, demonstrating efficiency and clutch performance in a playoff game.
Demonstrates pocket management and mechanical competency; buys extra time by getting more depth on his drop without drifting too far out of the pocket, throws off his back foot effectively, and gets his hips into the throw to maintain velocity and accuracy when delivering to receivers in the end zone.
Shows advanced pre-snap reads and decision-making; starts his read with the outside receiver, then shifts eyes to recognize when the nickel cornerback is in a bad position to cover the pylon route, and delivers a perfect pass on the run in stride for an explosive play despite facing third-and-long.
Demonstrates competency operating from under center, a key transition concern for the No. 1 pick moving to the NFL; executes snaps and operates effectively from under center despite limited reps, showing he can handle the position even when pass-rushers break through the offensive line and he must throw off his back foot.
Cooper ran a pylon route—a staple in Kubiak's playbook—against Alabama's Cover 0 defense in the Rose Bowl. He executed a hard inside release to sell a vertical route before breaking toward the sideline at a 45-degree angle, getting the nickel cornerback to open his hips to the middle. Mendoza recognized the coverage breakdown and hit Cooper in stride on the run for an explosive play, suggesting Cooper's fit in Kubiak's system.
Sarratt caught a touchdown pass from Mendoza in the Rose Bowl on a go route in the end zone. Mendoza identified a one-on-one matchup with Sarratt against a corner with no safety help and delivered a perfectly placed pass with great trajectory—high but still catchable—for the score.
Mendoza's subpar change of direction skills were evident on scrambles, requiring gather steps to pivot upfield. However, once moving north-south, his ability to read blocks and find rushing lanes allowed him to convert third downs. This suggests his value as a runner is tied to his vision and lane recognition rather than elite lateral agility.
Mendoza demonstrated strong decision-making and mobility on third-down situations, converting multiple third downs with both his legs and arm. Against Alabama's Cover 0 and blitz-heavy schemes, he showed the ability to recognize defensive looks, escape pressure, and execute bootlegs—plays that align with Raiders offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak's system preferences. His vision in navigating congested backfields and setting up second-level defenders, combined with his ability to place balls high in the end zone for receivers to attack, suggests he can operate effectively within Kubiak's scheme.
In Indiana's 38-3 Rose Bowl victory over Alabama, Mendoza completed 14 of 16 passes (87.5%) for 192 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions, earning an elite 92.9 passing grade from Pro Football Focus—his highest mark as a passer for the season. He also recorded 38 rushing yards on five attempts (excluding sacks) with multiple third-down conversions, demonstrating efficiency and clutch performance in a College Football Playoff game.
Pickens and CeeDee Lamb form one of the best receiving duos in the league, providing context for the Cowboys' offensive weapons and the combinations available to the quarterback.
Pickens is coming off a career year in which he ranked third in the NFL in receiving yards and eighth in receptions. Jones expressed hope that Pickens becomes the most prolific receiver in the NFL this season, which would significantly increase his free-agent value and potentially exceed the Cowboys' price range for a long-term extension.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones views Pickens as a valued part of the team's aspirations and potential success, citing the combinations Pickens has with other talented teammates as reason to feel positive about the team's chances. Jones sees 2025 as an opportunity for Pickens to flourish, help the team win, and increase his value.
Pickens will play the 2026 season on his $27.3 million franchise tender after the July 15 deadline to sign franchise-tagged players to extensions passed without an extension agreement. The wide receiver reported to mandatory minicamp and is slated to participate in training camp, with all accounts suggesting he is poised to play under the one-year franchise tag.
Lamb and Pickens form one of the best receiving duos in the league, providing context for both receivers' fantasy upside. The pairing suggests strong target volume opportunity for both players in the Cowboys offense.
Pickens is coming off a career year in which he ranked third in the NFL in receiving yards and eighth in receptions. Jones explicitly stated he hopes Pickens becomes the most prolific receiver in the NFL this year, which would significantly increase his market value as a free agent.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones views Pickens as a valued part of the team's aspirations and potential success, emphasizing the combinations Pickens has with other talent on the roster. Jones expressed hope that Pickens becomes the most prolific, successful receiver in the NFL this year, framing a breakout season as beneficial for both the player and the organization.

Jones sees 2025 as an opportunity for Pickens to flourish, help the team win, and increase his value.
The Cowboys are taking a calculated gamble with George Pickens, described as 'best for everybody' in the context of a roster move or role adjustment.
There is a calculated risk for the Cowboys with Pickens on the franchise tag. While unlikely, there remains a chance Pickens could have a change of heart about playing on a one-year rental deal, particularly given that he is represented by the same agent as Micah Parsons, whose contract gridlock with Dallas soured publicly before Parsons was traded to Green Bay. Additionally, Pickens' price tag could rise as the season progresses.

Pickens and CeeDee Lamb form one of the best receiving duos in the league, providing context for the Cowboys' offensive weapons and the complementary role Pickens plays alongside Lamb in the passing game.
Pickens is coming off a career year in which he ranked third in the NFL in receiving yards and eighth in receptions. The source projects that if Pickens produces similar statistics or achieves the most prolific receiver season in the NFL, his market value will skyrocket to levels potentially beyond the Cowboys' price range, creating a significant financial challenge for the franchise.

George Pickens is the subject of the Cowboys' calculated gamble, with the team making a strategic move described as 'best for everybody,' indicating a role or roster decision involving the wide receiver.
The Cowboys' situation with George Pickens carries risk despite his stated intention to play. Pickens is represented by the same agent as Micah Parsons, whose contract gridlock with Dallas soured publicly before he was traded to the Green Bay Packers. While unlikely, there is a chance Pickens could have a change of heart about playing on a one-year rental deal, and his price tag could also rise as the season progresses, creating potential volatility.
George Pickens will play the 2026 season on his $27.3 million franchise tender after the July 15 deadline to sign franchise-tagged players to extensions passed without an extension agreement. Pickens told reporters he intends to play this year, a stance the Cowboys are pleased with as training camp begins. He reported to mandatory minicamp and is slated to participate in training camp, positioning him to play under the franchise tag.
Undrafted rookie Tanner Arkin seemingly continues to lead the blocking tight end competition at New England, suggesting he is winning the battle for a reserve tight end role focused on run-blocking duties.
Rhamondre Stevenson connected with Drake Maye for a long completion during Tuesday's 11-on-11s, showing continued involvement in the Patriots' offensive game plan.
Eli Raridon, part of New England's top tight end duo, was heavily involved on Tuesday. He started his day with a contested grab versus Dell Pettus and later added two more catches — all on passes from backup Tommy DeVito.
Hunter Henry was heavily involved on Tuesday as part of New England's top tight end duo. He hauled in two Drake Maye throws during team drills, beating safety Kevin Byard on a corner route and cornerback Marcus Jones on a deep out.
Romeo Doubs, an offseason addition and part of the top receiver trio alongside A.J. Brown and DeMario Douglas, was targeted only once late during Tuesday's session. His connection with Drake Maye is not yet where it needs to be, similar to the Maye-Brown dynamic.
A.J. Brown's connection with Drake Maye remains a work in progress through four training camp practices. The Maye-Brown connection is not yet where it needs to be, suggesting continued development needed between the quarterback and the offseason addition.
Drake Maye started slowly with his connection to A.J. Brown remaining a work in progress, but he overall had a good day — an encouraging development after struggling with accuracy during the last full-speed practice on Sunday. Maye got into a rhythm during 11-on-11s, finding Kayshon Boutte on his long touchdown and also connecting with Hunter Henry and Rhamondre Stevenson for long completions.
Boutte continues to make big plays on a daily basis and has been New England's most impactful wide receiver through four training camp practices. On Tuesday, he caught a deep touchdown from Drake Maye on a go route as an X-receiver, displaying ball tracking and concentration skills on the over-the-shoulder catch for 40-plus yards. He also caught throws from Maye over the middle during 7-on-7s and added a pair of catches on out routes from backup Tommy DeVito, making it an active day.
Rhamondre Stevenson connected with Drake Maye for a long completion during 11-on-11s on Tuesday, demonstrating his continued role in the Patriots' offensive game plan as a receiving target out of the backfield.
Eli Raridon was heavily involved on Tuesday as part of New England's top tight end duo. He started his day with a contested grab versus Dell Pettus and later added two more catches—all on passes from backup Tommy DeVito—demonstrating his role in the receiving game.
Hunter Henry was heavily involved on Tuesday as part of New England's top tight end duo. He hauled in two Drake Maye throws during team drills, beating safety Kevin Byard on a corner route and cornerback Marcus Jones on a deep out, demonstrating his continued role as a primary receiving target.
Romeo Doubs continues to be part of the top receiver trio alongside A.J. Brown and DeMario Douglas, but his usage on Tuesday was minimal. He was targeted only once late during the session, suggesting limited involvement despite his status as an offseason addition and part of the starting receiver group. Like the Maye-Brown connection, the one between Maye and Doubs is not yet where it needs to be.
A.J. Brown's connection with Drake Maye remains a work in progress through the fourth training camp practice. The Maye-Brown connection is not yet where it needs to be, suggesting continued development needed between the Patriots' starting quarterback and the offseason addition.

Boutte continues to make big plays on a daily basis and has been New England's most impactful wide receiver through four training camp practices. On Tuesday, he caught a deep touchdown from Drake Maye during 11-on-11s, lining up as an X-receiver and getting a step on safety Kevin Byard on a go route with strong ball tracking and concentration skills on the over-the-shoulder catch for 40-plus yards. He also caught a throw from Maye over the middle during 7-on-7s and added a pair of catches on out routes from backup Tommy DeVito, making it an active day.

Hunter Henry was heavily involved on Tuesday as part of New England's top tight end duo. He hauled in two Drake Maye throws during team drills, beating Kevin Byard on a corner route and Marcus Jones on a deep out, demonstrating his continued role as a primary target.
Romeo Doubs continues to be part of the top receiver trio alongside A.J. Brown and DeMario Douglas, but his usage remains limited. On Tuesday, he was targeted only once late during the session, and like Brown, his connection with Drake Maye is not yet where it needs to be.
A.J. Brown's connection with Drake Maye remains a work in progress through four training camp practices. The Maye-Brown connection is not yet where it needs to be, suggesting ongoing chemistry issues between the Patriots' starting quarterback and the offseason addition.
Drake Maye started slowly and his connection with A.J. Brown remains a work in progress, but he overall had a good day—an encouraging development after struggling with accuracy during the last full-speed practice on Sunday. Maye got into a rhythm during 11-on-11s, finding Kayshon Boutte on his long touchdown and also connecting with Hunter Henry and Rhamondre Stevenson for long completions.
Boutte continues to make big plays on a daily basis and has been New England's most impactful wide receiver through four training camp practices. On Tuesday, he caught a deep touchdown from Drake Maye on a go route as an X-receiver, displaying tremendous ball tracking and concentration on an over-the-shoulder catch for 40-plus yards. He also caught throws from Maye over the middle during 7-on-7s and added a pair of catches on out routes from backup Tommy DeVito, making it an active day.
McMillan will see increased time in the slot in 2026 after running routes at a 15% clip there in 2025. This role shift allows Coker to play more outside and receive more targets.
Health has been an issue for Coker in his first two NFL seasons, appearing in only 11 games in each year. However, he has made strides to get his body right heading into 2026.
In 2025, Coker appeared in 11 games and recorded 33 catches for 394 yards and 3 touchdowns, producing uninspiring regular-season fantasy output. However, his playoff performance against the Rams (9-134-1 on 12 targets) suggests higher ceiling potential than his season-long totals indicate.
Justin Boone ranks Coker as WR47 in his July update; Coker's early ADP on Yahoo is 134.1, placing him between the 11th-12th rounds on average. This represents the market's current valuation despite the potential for increased target volume in 2026.
Matt Harmon believes Coker is a great receiver who has taken longer to adjust to the NFL after playing at Holy Cross; Harmon compares his body type to Chris Godwin Jr. and Jakobi Meyers, two receivers with proven fantasy success. Coker enters Year 3 with improved health after making 11 games in each of his first two seasons. His playoff performance vs. the Rams (9 catches, 134 yards, 1 TD on 12 targets) demonstrates upside that many managers overlooked. With Tetairoa McMillan moving to the slot (15% route rate there in 2025), Coker will play more outside and receive significantly more targets than currently projected.

Davis is identified as a backup running back competing for carries on the Jets depth chart. Hall stated that Davis 'want[s] to come take my spot,' indicating Davis is a depth chart threat to Hall's lead role.
Allen is identified as a backup running back competing for carries on the Jets depth chart. Hall stated that Allen 'want[s] to come take my spot,' indicating Allen is a depth chart threat to Hall's lead role.
Hall referenced Garrett Wilson as a key offensive weapon alongside him, stating 'I feel like we're finally getting ourselves in position for me and Garrett [Wilson] to really flourish and spread our wings so we can do what we know we can do.' Hall also noted that improved roster depth means 'defenses have to defend more than just us,' suggesting Wilson benefits from reduced defensive focus.
Hall acknowledged competition from backup running backs Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis, stating 'Then you got a player like Braelon [Allen] and Isaiah [Davis], who, they want to come take my spot, too. For me, it's like, OK, I got to come out here and put my best foot forward and prove that I'm the best out here every day.' This indicates Hall remains the lead back but faces depth chart pressure from younger talent.
Hall believes the Jets have assembled a stronger roster and coaching staff that will help him 'showcase everything' he can do on the field. He stated 'I feel like we have a lot of pieces around us that'll make my life easier, make Garrett's life easier. Make it to where defenses have to defend more than just us,' suggesting improved offensive context and reduced defensive focus compared to prior seasons.
Hall signed a three-year, $45.75 million contract extension with the Jets on May 8 after rushing for a career-high 1,065 yards with four touchdowns in 2025, becoming the first Jets running back since Chris Ivory in 2015 to reach 1,000 yards. The source notes Hall is entering his fifth NFL season at age 25 and views the deal as motivation to prove himself further, stating 'my deal is partially for me it makes me more hungry to keep proving that I am who I say I am' and expressing desire to 'do more than what I've done in the past.'
Arizona Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur says Marvin Harrison Jr. experienced cramping last practice and is good to go.
Mims was a second-round pick by the Jets in 2020 from a loaded WR class (Lamb, Jefferson, Aiyuk, Jeudy), but his career trajectory diverged sharply from peers. He missed most of his rookie training camp to injury, played only nine games as a rookie (23 catches, 357 yards—his most productive NFL season), then saw his role shrink from eight starts to three in 2021 under new regime (Saleh/LaFleur). He requested a trade in 2022 but was denied and remained limited. The Lions waived him injured in preseason 2023; he spent time on the Steelers practice squad but didn't make their 2024 camp. The Jaguars released him before final cuts in 2024. The source attributes his struggles partly to entering the league during COVID, injury timing, and playing for the Jets under Sam Darnold and Zach Wilson, but notes 'a late second-round pick is often more of a dependent than a catalyst,' suggesting Mims himself failed to develop.
The source notes Mims is 6'3" and known for being a dangerous redzone target. Dallas' offense in 2025 had no problem getting close to paydirt but struggled at times to finish the job, which could give Mims an edge if he can demonstrate NFL-level play. However, the source emphasizes that Mims would need to be 'shockingly good' to beat out experienced veterans and young prospects competing for the remaining WR roster spots.
Mims signed with Dallas as a backup WR on a veteran minimum deal ($1.15M cap hit) after spending two years in the UFL (2025 with St. Louis Battlehawks, spring 2026 with Dallas Renegades), where he managed only 11 catches for 110 yards across both seasons. The source projects him as a backup WR with just a 10% roster chance, noting he faces steep competition for the bottom of the depth chart behind three assured spots (Lamb, Pickens, Flournoy), a likely fourth for Turpin, and other veterans like Jonathan Mingo and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, plus young prospects Anthony Smith, Traeshon Holden, and Jordan Hudson.

McCarthy was sidelined all of his rookie year after suffering a torn meniscus during his preseason debut. Last season he completed 57.6% of passes for 1,632 yards, 11 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in 10 starts, with the Vikings going 6-4 in those games. McCarthy missed seven games combined due to a concussion, a fractured hand and a high ankle sprain.
McCarthy arrived at Vikings training camp with deeper experience in Kevin O'Connell's offense than Murray, giving him a familiarity advantage in the quarterback competition. The 10th overall pick from the 2024 NFL Draft was sidelined all of his rookie year after suffering a torn meniscus during his preseason debut.
McCarthy will split first-team reps with Kyler Murray during Vikings training camp, with the gap between them widening over camp based on practice structure and defensive coordinator Brian Flores' schemes. Head coach Kevin O'Connell plans to split reps within practice rather than alternate days, with both quarterbacks also taking second-team work to evaluate performance against less-advanced competition.
Murray described the Vikings offense as quarterback-friendly while acknowledging it stretches his comfort zone. O'Connell noted the offense is different from what Murray has been accustomed to and emphasized the Vikings want to run an offense where the quarterback has confidence to be their best version.
Murray arrives to Minnesota after signing a $1.3 million one-year deal in March following his release by Arizona. He completed 67.1% of passes for 20,460 yards, 121 touchdowns and 60 interceptions over seven seasons with the Cardinals, plus 3,193 rushing yards and 32 rushing touchdowns. Last season he played just five games, throwing six touchdowns and three interceptions. GM Nolan Teasley, who overlapped with Murray for seven years in the NFC West, emphasized Murray's ability to operate on schedule and extend plays outside the pocket to create, not just his arm talent.
Murray will split first-team reps with J.J. McCarthy during Vikings training camp, with the gap between them widening over camp based on practice structure and defensive coordinator Brian Flores' schemes. Head coach Kevin O'Connell plans to split reps within practice rather than alternate days, with both quarterbacks also taking second-team work to evaluate performance against less-advanced competition.
The source notes that Mims was drafted higher than George Pickens in 2020 and suggests the Cowboys may be able to help revive his career as they did with Pickens last year. The organization appears to see redzone upside in his 6'3" frame, and Dallas' offense struggled to finish drives near the goal line in 2025, creating a potential niche for a dangerous redzone target. The source frames his signing as intentional scouting work rather than a lottery pick, implying the Cowboys believe there is an NFL player in his profile.
Mims is a 28-year-old former second-round pick (2020, Jets) who spent the last two years in the UFL after flaming out of the NFL. He recorded only 11 catches for 110 yards across two UFL seasons with the St. Louis Battlehawks and Dallas Renegades. The source suggests someone in the Cowboys organization believes he has unrealized potential, particularly as a 6'3" redzone threat, though his NFL track record is poor: his best season was 2020 (23 catches, 357 yards in nine games), and he never established consistent production despite playing for the Jets during the Sam Darnold and Zach Wilson eras.
Mims signed with Dallas as a backup WR on a veteran minimum deal ($1.15M cap hit) with only a 10% roster chance. The source notes he faces steep competition for a potential fifth WR spot behind the assured trio of CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and Ryan Flournoy, plus likely fourth-stringer KaVontae Turpin. Jonathan Mingo and Marquez Valdes-Scantling are ahead of him among veteran competition, and Dallas has multiple young prospects (Anthony Smith, Traeshon Holden, Jordan Hudson) also vying for limited roster spots.
Tight end C.J. Dippre remains on the PUP/NFI list and was not active during Tuesday's practice.

UDFA Tanner Arkin got on the board with a reception from backup QB Tommy DeVito while continuing to mix in with the first-team offense.
Rookie tight end Eli Raridon continued to be active as a pass catcher, hauling in all three targets from Tommy DeVito, including a downfield reception and a catch after settling in a zone.
Efton Chism III caught his long target from Drake Maye before adding two receptions from Tommy DeVito, showing involvement as a pass catcher during Tuesday's practice.
DeMario Douglas was active again during Tuesday's practice, continuing to be involved in the Patriots' passing game alongside Kayshon Boutte.
It was another quiet day for Romeo Doubs who saw just one target late in the day from Drake Maye in the flat, continuing a pattern of limited involvement in the Patriots' passing game during camp.
Running back Rhamondre Stevenson walked off the field late in practice before final conditioning work with what appeared to be a heat issue. He is currently on the injured list.
Drake Maye delivered several strong downfield throws to Hunter Henry on a corner and a deep out during Tuesday's practice, as part of his strong finish to the day after early struggles.
Of Maye's four uncatchable passes on Tuesday, three were in the direction of new wide receiver A.J. Brown. After Maye overthrew an open Brown on the first pass of the day in 7s, the duo appeared to be on the wrong page on Maye's first two passes in 11-on-11s as their chemistry continues to be a work in progress. Throughout the day, Maye connected with Brown three times, all coming in the underneath area of the field.
Maye started Tuesday's practice on the shaky side with a pair of overthrows in the opening 7-on-7 period and tossed four total uncatchable passes early in full-team work. However, he settled in later in the day, delivering a touchdown bomb to Boutte and several strong downfield throws to Hunter Henry on a corner and a deep out, finishing with an exclamation mark by stepping up in the pocket and floating a pass to Rhamondre Stevenson on a corner route out of the backfield.
Boutte has been the best offensive player in camp through the first week despite entering training camp with an uncertain future due to his contract. In the Patriots' two competitive practices, the highlight of each day came from Boutte making impressive grabs down the field; on Tuesday he got behind the defense to haul in a 40-plus yard touchdown from Drake Maye, hauled his lone other target from Maye, and caught a pair of passes from Tommy DeVito.
The source analyzes Mendoza's under-center snap execution in the Rose Bowl against Alabama, a key transition concern for the No. 1 pick prospect. Despite limited reps, Mendoza demonstrated competence operating from under center, including throwing off his back foot with proper hip rotation to maintain velocity and accuracy when receivers were open. The source notes he also showed pocket management by buying extra time with depth on his drop without drifting too far, though the source emphasizes he must prove this on a larger sample size in the NFL.
Cooper caught an explosive play on a pylon route from Mendoza in the Rose Bowl. The source describes a bootleg play against Alabama's double-mug look and Cover 0 call that gave all three wide receivers one-on-one matchups. Cooper ran a pylon route—a staple in Klint Kubiak's playbook—where he gave a hard inside release to sell a vertical route before breaking toward the sideline at a 45-degree angle. The release got the nickel cornerback to open his hips to the middle, putting the corner in a bad position. Mendoza shifted his eyes to Cooper and immediately recognized the coverage mismatch, throwing a perfect pass on the run that hit Cooper in stride for an explosive play.
Sarratt caught a third-and-short touchdown pass from Mendoza in the Rose Bowl. The source describes a play where Indiana used heavy personnel with an extra offensive lineman and max protection, setting up a one-on-one matchup for Sarratt against a corner with no safety help at the bottom of the screen. Mendoza immediately took his eyes to that matchup, and once Sarratt got even with the corner, Mendoza let the ball go with a beautiful pass featuring great trajectory—high but still catchable. The source notes: 'It's hard to find a pass to a go route into the end zone that is placed any better than that.'
Mendoza demonstrated competence on third-down situations throughout the Rose Bowl, converting multiple third-down plays with both his arm and legs. The source notes he was 'money on money downs against the Tide,' including third-and-long conversions via scrambling, third-and-short passing touchdowns, and third-down bootlegs. His ability to read blitzes, recognize when to pull down and scramble versus when to stay patient in the pocket, and execute designed quarterback runs (RPOs) on third down shows NFL-ready decision-making in critical situations.
In the Rose Bowl against Alabama, the No. 1 pick of the 2026 NFL draft completed 14 of 16 passes (87.5%) for 192 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions, earning an elite 92.9 passing grade from Pro Football Focus—his highest mark as a passer for the season. The source credits him with three 'big-time throws' and highlights his ability to place the ball high but catchable into tight coverage, his poise under pressure with Cover 0 looks, his competence on bootlegs and designed escapes, and his willingness to operate from under center despite limited reps. His scrambling ability and vision to navigate congested backfields on third-down conversions also impressed, though his change of direction skills showed some limitations.
Bowers remains an elite tight end and arguably the best in the NFL, though Temple Clarke notes the Raiders have questions at the position behind him after the 2026 season.
Mayer, a former 2nd rounder, is set to be a free agent after the 2026 season. With a good season, he should be looking at a decent contract as a TE2 and blocking specialist for the Raiders.
Running back Chase Brown is in ongoing contract talks with the Bengals, a storyline that could affect his role and status heading into training camp.
Cornerback DJ Turner is in ongoing contract talks with the Bengals, a storyline that could affect his role and status heading into training camp.

Where are my Cokeheads at! I have a Jalen Coker metric for y'all, that I found using the @FantasyPtsData suite True Catch Rate = Receptions/Catchable Targets Among 86 eligible WRs in 2025, Jalen Coker is the only WR to record a 100% True Catch Rate - He caught all 33 of his catchable targets last season Even if we calculate his Catch Rate over Expectation, which factors every WR's aDOT into the equation, Coker still ranked 1st overall For reference, Tetairoa McMillan ranked bottom-5 in True...

Obviously great to hear Jonathon Brooks has looked great in all facets so far at camp He previously said he wasn’t full speed yet and now he’s saying he is 100%, which is very important Canales also agreed with his quote below

Mayfield is entering free agency after the Buccaneers missed the extension deadline; he signed a three-year, $100 million extension ($33.33 million AAV, $50 million guaranteed) in 2024 after proving himself on a one-year, $4 million deal in 2023, and his contract includes void years in 2027 and 2028 that trigger Feb. 16, 2027, setting up a likely franchise tag situation.
Mayfield finished 2025 with 26 touchdowns and 11 interceptions across 17 starts, down from career highs of 41 touchdowns and 4,500 passing yards in 2024; the Buccaneers finished 8-9 and missed the playoffs after a strong 5-1 start through six weeks when Mayfield had 12 touchdowns and one interception.
Mayfield is entering the final season of his three-year, $100 million contract extension signed in 2024 after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers failed to reach an extension agreement prior to training camp on July 28, 2026. He plans to play out the final year of his contract and hit free agency on March 11, 2027, with the Buccaneers likely to place a franchise tag on him unless he has a no-tag clause. Mayfield set a training camp deadline for extension negotiations, stating 'Obviously, yes, I would love to have a long-term deal, but they know my deadline is as soon as training camp starts' and 'We're not doing any contract stuff, it's all ball.'
Signed by the Packers and designated as the international exemption player following the release of edge rusher Dante Barnett. Yassmin is a former rugby player who transitioned to football in South Wales before joining Utah; he has prior NFL experience with the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers (2025). He was drafted 14th overall in the 2024 CFL global draft, the second tight end off the board. The Broncos signed him with $47,000 in guarantees, significantly more than most of Green Bay's 2026 UDFA signings. At the start of training camp, the Packers have Tucker Kraft and Luke Musgrave on the physically unable to perform list, leaving Josh Whyle, Luke Lachey, Messiah Swinson, Drake Dabney, R.J. Maryland, and Yassmin as healthy tight ends.

Aidan O'Connell is the third-string quarterback on the Raiders' depth chart behind Kirk Cousins and Fernando Mendoza. Head coach Klint Kubiak stated he wants O'Connell 'to push' Cousins during training camp, indicating the team views him as part of the quarterback competition and development process.
Fernando Mendoza, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 draft, enters training camp as the backup quarterback behind Kirk Cousins. Head coach Klint Kubiak indicated that 'a lot would have to change' between now and Sept. 13 for Mendoza to become the Raiders' QB1 by Week 1 against Miami. Kubiak expects Mendoza to show growth and development, noting the team has 'put a lot on his plate' and will evaluate how he handles adversity, corrects mistakes, and maintains his demeanor under pressure.

Walker seems to be starting off on a good foot, with the respect of Mahomes and the coaching staff.

Sounds like Josh Downs would prefer to figure out his contract after this season Smart man - with the role increase I think this is going to be a career year for him
Aaron Rodgers shares the highest qualifying career passer rating in NFL history with Lamar Jackson at 102.2 through the 2025 season.
From his 2020 debut through the 2025 regular season, Burrow missed roughly one-third of Cincinnati's games because of injury, making durability a material part of quarterback value; this injury history is more severe than Lamar Jackson's, who missed less than 10 percent of games and has not undergone surgery.
The source identifies the unresolved requirement for Jackson as narrower and more demanding than proving he can play quarterback or win from the pocket: carry his regular-season decision-making and ball security through four championship-level postseason performances; Jackson has sometimes pressed when the game turned against Baltimore, held the ball while searching for an explosive answer, and exposed the offense to sacks or turnovers, with the coaching staff compounding that problem by departing from its identity in critical moments.
Jackson's postseason record is 3-5 with a postseason passer rating of 84.6, far below his regular-season standard; across eight playoff games, he has thrown 10 touchdown passes and seven interceptions, taken 29 sacks, and committed additional fumbles; his elimination-game ball security has been materially worse than his regular-season norm, though in his four most recent playoff games through the 2024 season, he completed 70 percent of his passes, produced seven passing touchdowns against two interceptions, and posted two of the best postseason performances of his career.
From his 2020 debut through the 2025 regular season, Jackson missed less than 10 percent of Baltimore's regular-season games because of injury and has not undergone surgery; this durability record is superior to Joe Burrow's, who missed roughly one-third of Cincinnati's games because of injury over the same span, yet Jackson's open-field style is regularly presented as a durability liability despite his actual injury history being less severe than several celebrated pocket passers.
Under offensive coordinator Todd Monken (hired in 2023), Jackson repeated the feat of leading the Ravens to the No. 1 seed in the AFC with 49 of 50 MVP votes; Monken expanded the route tree, spacing, progression game, and Jackson's responsibility as a passer, even while Baltimore remained committed to the run; Jackson thrived in both the Greg Roman and Monken systems, with both systems thriving because of Jackson.
Warren Sharp's charting showed Jackson leading quarterbacks from the start of 2024 in touchdown passes traveling more than 10 yards through the air, while also ranking first in red-zone passing efficiency and EPA per attempt on throws released within 2.5 seconds over the same period; in his 2019 MVP season, 25 of his 36 touchdown passes came from the pocket, demonstrating his passing production is not simply the byproduct of scrambling.
Jackson ended the 2025 season tied with Aaron Rodgers for the highest qualifying career passer rating in NFL history at 102.2; in 2024, he produced a 119.6 passer rating from the pocket and shares the record of four qualifying perfect-passer-rating games with Peyton Manning and Ben Roethlisberger; he is the first quarterback to throw at least 40 touchdown passes with fewer than five interceptions in a season.
Pickens signed a one-year, fully guaranteed $27.3 million franchise tag on April 29 and is scheduled to become a free agent in March 2027. The Cowboys announced during the draft they would not negotiate a long-term deal. Jones characterized the tension between Pickens' desire for a life-changing long-term contract and the Cowboys' preference to defer the decision as "not uncommon tension" in the NFL, framing the franchise tag structure as a mutually acceptable short-term arrangement.
Pickens had a career year in 2025 with 93 receptions for 1,429 yards and nine touchdowns after being traded from the Steelers. Jones expressed optimism about Pickens' 2026 outlook, stating he hopes Pickens becomes "the most prolific, successful receiver in the NFL this year." With another season matching his 2025 production, Pickens is likely to become one of the highest-paid players at his position, positioning him for a significant contract increase in free agency.
Pickens had a career year in 2025 with 93 receptions for 1,429 yards and nine touchdowns after being traded from Pittsburgh to Dallas.

Aidan O'Connell is mentioned as part of the Raiders' quarterback room alongside Kirk Cousins and Fernando Mendoza. Head coach Klint Kubiak stated: "I want Fernando and I want Aidan [O'Connell] to push him," indicating O'Connell will be in competition to push Cousins during training camp.
Fernando Mendoza, the No. 1 overall pick in April's NFL Draft, will begin his rookie season as a backup to Kirk Cousins. Head coach Klint Kubiak confirmed that the plan is not to rush Mendoza into the starting role. The source notes that Mendoza is "obviously the Raiders' quarterback of the future," but there is no known timeline for when he will take over the starting position. The Raiders signed Cousins to facilitate Mendoza's development from the bench.
Kirk Cousins is the confirmed starting quarterback for the Raiders entering training camp. Head coach Klint Kubiak stated: "When we go out to practice tomorrow, Kirk Cousins [is] the starting quarterback. He's the guy. He's gonna get a ton of reps. He deserves it. He's played really good football." Cousins was signed to a two-year contract prior to the draft to provide veteran presence and allow the team to ease rookie No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza into his role.

Dak Prescott arrived at Cowboys training camp wearing a Super Bowl XXX championship T-shirt, signaling confidence heading into the 2026 season. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones endorsed Prescott's positive mindset, stating 'I like the idea [of Prescott] thinking that positive about what we're going to work for' and noting 'He's a big part. He's got a first-hand feel for what we can do, certainly on his side of the ball. I like him to be thinking at that success level.' Jones emphasized that Prescott's leadership and optimism are central to the team's Super Bowl aspirations.
The source reports that Rodgers, 42, definitively confirmed 2026 will be his final NFL season with the Pittsburgh Steelers, stating there is 'zero debate' about retirement after this year. Rodgers initially thought 2025 might be his last season but changed his mind when the Steelers hired Mike McCarthy, his former Green Bay Packers coach with whom he won a Super Bowl. Despite DK Metcalf suggesting Rodgers might reconsider if things went extremely well in 2026, Rodgers shut down that possibility, reiterating 'Zero debate. Zero.' At 42, Rodgers has not received MVP votes in four seasons but threw 24 touchdowns last season while helping the Steelers reach 10-6 and the postseason.

Stafford is unlikely to break Van Brocklin's 554-yard record despite being the closest option to home. He threw for 520 yards as a member of the Lions in the 2011 regular season finale against the Packers at Lambeau Field, proving he's capable of elite passing performances. However, with the Rams he's thrown for at least 450 yards only once (against the Seahawks late last season), and he plays in a more balanced offense that doesn't ask him to pass a ludicrous amount. The source notes never say never given his twice-yearly matchups against the Cardinals.
Prescott is a dark-horse candidate to break Van Brocklin's 554-yard record. He threw for 502 yards and four touchdowns in a 49-38 win over the Browns, demonstrating his ability to put up elite passing numbers.

Goff has a legitimate chance to break Van Brocklin's 554-yard record in 2026 despite a controversial candidacy. He threw for 517 yards in a Rams uniform in Week 4 of 2019 (a 55-40 loss to the Bucs) and came within six yards of becoming the fourth QB with multiple 500-yard games in December 2024, falling just short against the Bills in Detroit's 48-42 loss. The Lions face a last-place schedule in 2026 with cupcake matchups against the Jets, Dolphins, Cardinals, and Titans, creating opportunities for offensive dominance and potentially an NFL record.
Burrow is the most likely candidate to break Norm Van Brocklin's 554-yard single-game passing record in 2026. He has the fourth-most passing yards in a single game with 525 yards, achieved in a 41-21 masterclass performance versus the Ravens in 2021 that helped Cincinnati secure the AFC North and reach the Super Bowl. With Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins in tow, he'll have another crack to break the record; Cincinnati is a pass-happy team that boosts his chances.

Competing for the No. 4 wide receiver job and already building chemistry with Mahomes; showing the types of skills that translate, suggesting early momentum in the wide receiver competition.
Undrafted rookie RB joining Chiefs as UDFA after college career spanning six seasons across Stanford and Texas A&M, marked by approximately four injuries including a significant 2022 Stanford injury that ended his season after opening with 118 rushing yards against Colgate and 206 yards with three TDs through two games. Chiefs running backs coach DeMarco Murray, who recruited Smith in high school, signed him post-draft. Smith emphasizes versatility and effort as separation tools, stating 'They love hard workers here. Guys that grind, hustle every play, show great effort. And so I believe that I'm that guy. Wherever they need me to be utilized, I'm there and I'm ready for it.' Smith views his injury history and undrafted status not as obstacles but as preparation: 'I went through about four injuries throughout my whole college career. And so it just made me show more perseverance, made me more resilient, and it prepared me for this moment, for this opportunity.'
